I've been wondering if it was ever litigated. The actual language is:
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
It sounds like the penalty of perjury might only apply to whether you're acting on behalf of the copyright owner, not about whether the information is accurate.
Now, that may be too complicated for 90% of the techies, but it's not true for the rest of us, and you're slowing us down with the simpleton demands for ASCII-editable interfaces.
I think it's that if you are control-freakish enough to make sure there is absolutely no duplication of effort or market share anywhere in the company, you end up stomping out innovation*. Free-market vs. planned economy inside the corporate walls.
I have a painting with AR glass. It's a big improvement over regular glass, but it's way, way more reflective than the glass seen in the photo.
Also note from the WP article you cited:
It is possible to obtain reflectivities as low as 0.1% at a single wavelength. Coatings that give very low reflectivity over a broad band can also be made, although these are complex and relatively expensive.

Are you running VOS or FTX? I don't know about FTX, but if you're running VOS, and you're (at least) two years out, I highly recommend upgrading to the V-Series. Stuff that used to compile overnight now takes seconds; we stopped building an inverted index of our source code because "display *.pl1 -match x" was instant. More on the port:
AOL initially ran on a network of Stratus fault-tolerant minicomputers, each running two to eight 680x0 CPUs. Later we added unix boxen, some beefy SGIs and HPs for servers, and Suns for front-end telco interfacing IIRC. By the mid-90s we grew a Tandem fault-tolerant cluster for our critical databases; it did hot component failover, multimaster replication, all the stuff that's common today, but with SQL down in the drive controller for blazing speeds. We didn't really start moving to a PC-based architecture until the late '90s, when Linux provided cheap, reliable enough workhorses, and helped drive the big Iron prices down too
It depends. At AOL, I spent a great deal of time on alt.aol-sucks; engaging in discussions with people who hated our product was a great way to learn what to fix. (A lesson @ComcastCares has repopularized today.) To engage there, I had to be honest; nobody's going to talk to a happy-shiny marketing shill. I'd talk about why we did something we did, and about the trade-offs we made, and I'd even hint about whether I agreed or not. I wouldn't have posted my own rant, but I'd certainly quote others, and I think newsgroup quoting is roughly equivalent to blog linking.
So no, not every corporation is going to insist that every employee toe the company line. The smart ones don't.
The government, of course, is not known for innovation in social media communications or anywhere else. There are Lots Of Rules, and that's not even including the security clearance that this guy had.
This is an honest question, not snark - I'm not nearly as scientifically grounded as many Slashdotters. Didn't quantum mechanics develop well before we had high-energies to play with? I've had the impression that we've known since the early 20th century that Newtonian physics wasn't complete, and that one of the amazing things about quantum physics is the ability of the early thought-experiments to get proven out by later real-world experiments and even incorporated into engineering principles (a la GPS). Is that accurate? And if true, what's the modern-day analogue to quantum physics here?

Google uses hundreds of signals to determine search rankings. They're researching adding one more. I'm pretty sure they have a good concept of signal-to-noise and spammers gaming the system by now. It's what they do for a living.
Slashdot Mirror
TL;DR: "There was going to be a TouchPad Go, but it never got produced. Film at 11."
There already is a sandboxed BASIC on the iPhone. It's called C64.
There was no "wrong button" to hit. It's 1948; type is set on Linotype, but it's pasted up, shot, plated and printed by hand.

When your argument spurs hundreds of Slashdotters to defend both patents and big pharma... you lose.
The apology came from the CEO. They just didn't sign the press release, because you don't sign press releases.
No.. all programs and web sites do this.
It's called a hex editor.

Or are we calling "climate change" this week. It's so hard to keep up.
I, too, am confused by synonyms.

TFA claims broadband 0.5% reflectivity.

No. Nerds like to read facts; they like to write editorials.

This is good news. I was worried about Silk's privacy implications, but if Joe Barton is worried too, Silk must be freaking unicorns.

In their defense, you're talking about a standard where Full Speed is lower than Hi Speed and nobody's legally permitted to call them 1.1 or 2.0.
Innovatio (it means “innovation” in Latin, McAndrews said)
Innovatio. And you can leave off the last N - That's the N for savings!
Somebody should make a Timeline about the history of such trolls
ITYM somebody should make a Timeline brand linear time display about the history of such trolls.
Likewise, there are plenty of jobs for talented workers. They're just currently taken by underperformers.

Isn't Spotify P2P-based on desktops? It probably can't do that (or can't do it as well) on mobile, so you pay to leech.
