Then the TPP is not an impediment, as the WTO has authorized that Antigua is legally permitted to violate copyright because the US is illegally preventing Antigua from providing betting/gambling services to US citizens.
That's the problem. Just because something hasn't been patented before is NOT sufficient for it to be patented [at least, according to the law].
They are to be non-obvious to a skilled practitioner in the art of whatever.
This is pretty much "how can we do Project ARA using full size computer components". The idea that "stacking" is somehow non-obvious is beyond ridiculous.
Perhaps the only thing that Microsoft should be able to do is submit it as a design patent, so the specific sizes/shapes of how these components fit together.
Really, Project Ara + a practitioner skilled in the field should == invalid patent.
For the the US patent office, they will likely assign someone who has never used a computer before, and will believe MS has described some kind of magic machine.
How exactly is this different from what Google has been showing for some time with their plug-together cell phone? I mean, besides all the components being physically bigger.
I just wish Firefox could show how much CPU power a given tab was using. I normally have a bunch of tabs open, and the whole browser just dies sometimes. I know Amazon sucks for this, they really like periodically reloading the page and also run a crapload of javascript to track what you are doing on a given page, and ebay is only slightly less annoying.
Well, this is the tradeoff between running your own servers and using cloud services for mission critical applications. It may be cheaper most of the time to use the cloud service, but every once in awhile, it becomes much more expensive.
why is that a problem? are you claiming that we already found the 'one-true-algorithm' for doing this, and that it's impossible to do any better, and these guys are just screwing around with the code because they have commit rights?
Actually, if anything, it's possible that making it a configuration option would be useful, as computers used for specific tasks, one algorithm would work better than others. Or you would just build the distribution to use that algorithm.
kill the stupid tracking javascript code slashdot uses. when my internet connection gets slow, it becomes painfully obvious that stupid crap is happening, and not help me do anything. For example, you don't need to do anything when I click the close button for the tab.
Actually, I think I have to run noscript for Slashdot.

YOU WILL STACK THEM! And you will like it!
Random crap to permit the post...

Antigua is permitting this to happen LEGALLY, because quite some time ago, the US lost a ruling by the WTO that they were improperly blocking betting and gambling services in Antigua. http://www.ip-watch.org/2014/04/26/antigua-questions-efficacy-of-wto-dispute-system-over-ip-related-case/
The US does not wish to follow the WTO ruling, so Antigua is permitted to do this.
Hollywood knows this.
no johns, cuz nobody has any money. everyone is just hoping for the lottery-win and get picked up by a guy driving by in a limo.
Except now US politics is a zero-sum game. I MUST win and you MUST lose. No compromise!
But now everybody is a terrorist. Before 9/11 we were all just regular Americans.
make one.
more like this will morph into a required, country wide requirement for backdoor in every cell phone and a ban on end-to-end encryption.
because we all are terrorists.
unless you are in a constitution-free zone, which is the 100-mile "Border" zone.
Only 2/3's of the country live within this zone.
He probably walks around complaining that he is being forced to wear clothes when he leaves the basement.
I believe most countries have agreed North Korea shouldn't do it. Of course, NK is not one of the countries.
But it wants to. If it could. Even when it says no.

No. Nerds refuse to run Windows 10. They don't like being tracked like rats in a cage.
and cash.

And, of course, we get to do it over there.
Yes, Google has no interest in monitoring who you are and what you do on your phone.
In unrelated news, Google just rejected/won't permit Samsungs ad-blocker app in the Google Play store.
Probably is an active ISIS combatant.

yeah, it's just Republicans. There are no "those" Republicans. They're all wacko.
Except Trump. We need a new word for him.
