No reliable source on the topic, sorry. But it is quite possible to patent the principles of CDMA - using orthogonal codes to provide multiple users access to the same frequency band - without patenting the technical means to do it with a good power efficiency. If those methods are hard to detect through reverse engineering, it may be a good idea to keep them secret.
I believe that it is not a coincidence that when WCDMA was introduced, one big complaint from early adopters was the very short standby time compared with 2G only models.
Reportedly, Qualcomm used to file patents to cover only a part of the features of their hardware. The rest was kept as trade secret. As a result, the competitors still needed to pay the patent licenses for Qualcomm IP, but the missing info prevented them to produce competitive components easily.
This is why choosing WCDMA for 3G destroyed Qualcomm's European competitors. In the end, It worked so well that Qualcomm folded its own 3GPP2 organisation, because the supposedly rival 3GPP standards were much more lucrative.
It seems that I was confused: you don't have the same standard libraries when you use AdaCore's GNAT Libre, GNAT Pro, or Ada support in GCC. And the Ada support integrated into the GCC mainline supports the linking exception. There is a better explaintation, but all this is quite confusing...
Perhaps if one day we get a compiler that does not require you to choose between an expensive license or coding only GPLv2 projects. Until then, all those GCC efforts only serve as an advertisement for GNAT Pro, and the only users will continue to be those avionics companies that are used to pay a lot.
Do the people that produce the Honest Trailers or Cinema Sins clips on YouTube really have permission, as well as unencrypted sources to avoid the effects of the law?
It is pretty much a given that when they started, they used the rips directly, but today they're large enough to interview the real actors, be nominated for an Emmy award or have their harrasment scandals of their own. If they want to retain the power of saying offensive things, they need to be able to take the movies they want without needing to ask, but today it looks this can only happen through some kind of "criminal" activity.
We could stop changing clocks. But it won't necessarily change anything to the way we live. For example, the train timetables in France before implementation of summertime changed twice a year, with summer and winter service. The summer service usually ran one hour earlier than the winter service. Of course, this also not limited to trains, so there was already something like a summer time implemented.
Note that Lithuanians could use this, changing their schedule around the legal change to keep using the same solar time.
Mobile phones by design broadcast their position all the time, with quite powerful signal and on a very specific band. A good directional antenna and a portable spectrum analyzer should be enough to pinpoint their location as long as they're on.
Is Qualcomm really commited to support the chip on the long term? A good measure of this would be the level of support for the chip in the Linux kernel mainline. All serious server processors have support in the mainline - even Itanium did. With Qualcomm's mobile chips, millions of lines of custom code for a two year old kernel is normal, but for server customers it will not be sufficient.
Moglen, chairman for the SFLC, has resigned as a FSF councel last year. Perens has stated that he was in fact fired over conflict on regarding GPL enforcement. The source of the split seems to be this talk at a Linux Foundation event, where he criticised some of his own former compliance efforts, and aligned on the point of view of many members of the kernel community.
The independence of Algeria from France in 1961-1962 was handled this way: a first referendum in the whole country (including both France and Algeria at the time) enabling the independence referendum, and then a second referendum for Algeria alone.
A critical requirement when programming is the ability to compare different versions of the same code. This is quite easy to do with text. With diagrams, it becomes much harder to do.
There are no security updates for Nexus 4, sold by Google itself from November 2012 to November 2013. The last update was offered on September 2015, not even 2 years after the last sale. It looks like the Nexus 5 is going to reach the same state soon.
Texas Instruments has the Wilink chip series which is very well supported in the kernel, but it's aimed at embedded devices with its SDIO interface, and does not even do 802.11ac.
Malaysia is the close neighbor of Singapore, where news are either provided by state-owned companies, or censored as soon as anything displeasing the state is published. As a result the incumbent government never lost a vote, and it is perceived as uncorruptible even when the wife of the prime minister is appointed to rule those state-owned companies.
PRT is a 1960s invention, and it has never worked despite large research and development budgets. The only two working systems are so small and limited in scope that they cannot deliver the promises that make PRTs interesting.
- The Morgantown PRT is a 5 station peoplemover with 20-person cars and obsolete space-age electonics. It has only few stations, the cars are everything but personal, and it is closed on Sundays and during holidays, as it only serves the local university and its remote campus.
- ULTra in Heathrow is closer from the promise, but it only serves a parking lot and a single airport terminal. There are extension projects to reach other terminals and nearby hotels, but those are not currently planned or funded.
The French national library is doing it - they have all physical software releases since those started, and they have some technical folks that try to keep them readable and running. But they do not really have all the hardware means to do it, so they usually use emulators to run the software.
Well, one can expect the measurements of traffic to be higher than usual. It is possible to check the stats for the current day, but I do not know where to find the measurements for the other days.
The difference is about Bluetooth & Bluetooth Smart (aka Low Energy). The second one is in fact a different protocol, once called Wibree, which uses some parts of the Bluetooth stack, but not a lot of it. While Bluetooth "Classic" already has network connectivity through PAN since a long time ago, Bluetooth Smart, introduced in the 4.0 revision of the specification, does not.
The main reason for this is that the maximum packet size in Bluetooth Smart is quite small (around 256 bytes in the original spec). The latest revision allows for higher MTUs, as well as an IPv6 header compression scheme called 6lowPAN, already developped for IEEE802.15, another low energy radio protocol.
From what I remember, what is missing in the OMAP/Sitara TRM is documentation about:
- The secure bootloader, so you cannot use secure mode: some features (precise, limited, useful only in very specific cases) in the CPU are blocked
- The GPU documentation, but I've never seen the SGX documentation in any SoC TRM, or for any other GPU
But you still have ~5000 pages of doc in the main TRM, plus all the erratas, which is much better than what many other manufacturers give you, even after signing a NDA.
Why did they go for this ? Ada introduced the underscore years ago, Java followed in Java 7 recently, and for example Rust uses the underscore as well. And it also allows multiple separators, which allows for aligning the columns in bitmasks for example, while it's forbidden in C++. See the Java specification for example.

The proposed correction was merged even before Poettering's comment.
From what I see in the discussion, the correction has been merged. So it has been recognized as a bug, and corrected as such.

And there is no carrier or OEM to blame here...

This can give some inspiration...
Cut & paste did work. Unicode on Slashdot failed, as it does since 2002.
The Slashdot admins have an irrational fear of bidirectional characters, and neither a blacklist nor a whitelist can calm them.

Well, at least if it turns wrong no one will say it was unexpected...
