    Yes.

    First you learn to code.

    Because the Start button wasn't that great in the first place. It was essentially a select set of shortcuts.

    A much better solution exists in Mac OS X, and should be emulated.
    Pin to the Dock the following folders: Home directory, Applications.
    Set them as list, sort by name.

    Access to ALL files/folders/applications with one click.

    No navigating into the hard drive if the installer didn't put a shortcut in the "All Programs" folder.

    Also, there is NO practical difference between the first and third option.

    One says, yes I am ok with being tracked. So they track.
    Three says, I said nothing about being tracked. So they track.

    So allow OR no preference are opting in to tracking.

    Does Firefox ask for DNT to be enabled? No. You have to go to Tools>Options>Privacy and enable it.

    http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-turn-do-not-track-feature

    Since it is OFF by default, tracking is allowed by default.

    Now, whether or not this is the wishes of users, I have no idea. And I'm guessing any survey would have significant biases.

  16. Re:I think for lying during selection on Unredacted Filings Reveal Claims of Juror Misconduct in Apple vs Samsung Trial · · Score: 1

    Too bad you're ignorant.

    That oath is for witnesses, not jurors. Their oath says something like:
    "I do solemnly swear or affirm that as a member of this jury I will discharge my duty honestly and faithfully, to the best of my ability, and that I will a true verdict render according to the evidence, without fear, favor, or affection, and that I will be governed by the instructions of the court. So help me God."

    Also, if you think courts like it when you 'anticipate' things, pray you never do anything illegal.
    The judge was asking explicit questions, and did not ask about ALL lawsuits, or even lawsuits involving patents. Either of which are obvious.
    You may not like it, but those are the facts.

    I'm not sure even could have answered yes to your third question.

    How would he have known that one of the lawyers from his suit in 1993 was a spouse of one of the lawyers in this case in 2012?

    The last question is one that should have been asked to everybody, individually.

    He raised his hand as a yes answer to the question, just like several jurors did.
    Because of that, they went to him for an explanation. And got clarification on that lawsuit.
    They didn't ask him if he had more than one lawsuit.

  22. So? Did he answer the question "have you ever been involved in a lawsuit?"

    Yes, and truthfully so, having given an example.

    Was he asked if he was involved in any other lawsuits, or more than one lawsuit? No.

    He answered the 'any' question honestly and truthfully.

  25. Re:He didn't disclose what he wasn't asked on Unredacted Filings Reveal Claims of Juror Misconduct in Apple vs Samsung Trial · · Score: 0

    He answered yes by raising his hand.
    He then volunteered ONE example. He was not asked to disclose all cases. He did not misrepresent anything. He did not state he only had one lawsuit, or answer any questions as to how many lawsuits he had been involved in.
    That's not his fault for those questions not being asked.

    As for the other part, yeah, that's probably where they'll nail him. However, his a-ha moment was described to a journalist, not any court member.
