Likewise, there's no assurance that if you license H.264, you won't have to pay additional patent royalties in the future. And, you get no patent indemnification from MPEG-LA, either. Would you rather pay to take a risk, or not pay to take a risk?
Q: Are all AVC essential patents included?
A: No assurance is or can be made that the License includes every essential patent. The purpose of the License is to offer a convenient licensing alternative to everyone on the same terms and to include as much essential intellectual property as possible for their convenience. Participation in the License is voluntary on the part of essential patent holders, however.
The DMCA exemption given by the LoC applies only to wireless phones (and doesn't use the term "jailbreak"):
"Computer programs that enable wireless telephone handsets to execute software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications, when they have been lawfully obtained, with computer programs on the telephone handset."
"The global average temperature has been warming for 40-50 years."
It's been warming for much more than that. 20,000 years ago, there was 2,000 feet of ice above the spot where I'm sitting. If only cavemen hadn't used so much CO2 releasing fire.
No, it is you who is confused. It is only _paid_ apps which are country limited through Google's Android Market, presumably because Google hasn't done the legal legwork to do such business in those countries. Free apps can be from/to anywhere.
Additionally, any developer can sell apps to any user outside of the Android Market, and non-Google markets can be created and used. There exist alternatives to the Android Market, if it doesn't suit your needs. Google has done nothing to restrict development or the ability of developers to offer apps.
Now, tell us how that constitutes a "walled garden."
What are you prattling about? Whether or not one can upgrade the OS, the Android marketplace is still open to any/all developers who are interested, and apps are not subject to arbitrary review.
So does a teapot. I've seen references state that a teakettle is used for heating, a teapot for serving. But then again, when I think of "pots and pans," I think of a pot used for heating.
But, clearly, the fact that there's some confusion about what the difference really is only strengthens the idiom which started this - "The pot calling the kettle black." Might as well say "'A' calling 'B' a character," then ask what the difference is between A and B.
What's your point? Yes, cheating can be done that way. No, your roommate's text, asking you to pick up beer on the way home isn't cheating. The mere presence of cell phone signals does not prove cheating.
"I would imagine that simply having a cell phone signal near you would not be enough to qualify you as a cheater."
No, it wouldn't. At most, it means there were cell phone signals in proximity. Could be as simple as someone with a smartphone they forgot to turn off, which checked for email (or was pushed email) during the exam. They were supposed to be off, but simply being on doesn't rise to the level of "cheating," which is a pretty strong accusation.
" it must either provide a means for you to do so or reimburse"
Nope. An employer can require that you have, and use, a cell phone as a condition of employment. That's one reason there's an "Unreimbursed Employee Business Expenses" deduction available. If you feel that they must reimburse you - let them know by finding a new job.
It may be cheaper than a residential landline, but it's not cheaper than an extension off a PBX. I would bet the vast majority of CA state workers (much more than 60%) are in desk/office jobs, so a desk phone is cheaper than a cell phone. Many of those who are on the road, (police/fire) have other means to communicate, provided it's legitimate business (e.g. radio).
The Superfocus ones look much more interesting (continuously variable focus), and are considerably cheaper, too (~$700). Con: they're only available with circular lenses. Pro: they're hyped by Penn Jillette.
The plant which is closing is in Pitman, NJ. The article never bothered to mention which plant. Whatever happened to the basics of reporting - who/what/where/why/when?

Everyone is guilty of something. It's only a matter of how much they want to get you, that they go to the trouble of figuring out what it is.

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" is so '80's.
If you want $7, price it MSRP $35. No matter what Amazon sells it for, you'll get paid somewhere between $7 - $24.50.
OTOH (according to the summary), the claim is that if you don't die first, airborne prions will kill you. The same can be said about Cheez-Whiz.
Well, if it has to be monotonic, then it works both ways. It hasn't been warming continuously for the past "40-50 years," either.
