Let me put it to you this way. You sit down at your computer and write your own fucking code from your on mind. You invented the code and you distribute the code. That code competes with a product the microsoft has on the market. Your code is completely different from any code Microsoft has written. You are telling me that it's OK for MS to come along and ask people to pay for using YOUR code even though they have nothing at all to do with that code. That is OK? Because this is exactly what the fuck is happening here. Microshaft has decided to extort patent licensing fees from Open Source code and ANTYING powered by Linux in particular. Android or no fucking Android this is about Linux a competing operating system to thiers. Any attempt to spin this is either pure ignorance or pathetic trolling on the part of Microshaft.
I wear a watch. it never comes off. its even touch screen with features like altimeter, compass, barometer etc. I shower everyday and the watch stays on even in the shower, when I go to the beach or the pool. Why do you have to remove a modern watch when you wash your hands?
I thought this stuff should be left up the scientists at big oil to pioneer this research? We don't need no more gubmint funded research at educational institutions. too much big goverment is bad. Bad I say.
haha you're a moron and obvous troll. Or maybe your GF is so old that she wouldn't be able to figure out where the windshield wipers are after moving from a Ford to a Chevy.
While I'm not fond of holder by any stretch of the imagination as he wants to take my guns and magazines. Its important to keep your facts strait. The Fast and Furious thing started under the Bush administration and while this was going on no one said a word. Not Fox, Not Rush, Not Shawn, Not Laura, Not Mark, no one. Then as soon as the holder gets in the fake outrage about F&F went from 0 to 11. It seems you have been thoroughly conned by the right wing media train.
well making a gun in the PRIVACY of your OWN home is not against the law in this country. Transferring them is what is against the law without a proper license. So if you print and sell without the license then you are subject to the ATF crashing through the doors of your home and dragging you away. But of course you already knew that.
Guns are designed to put a bullet where ever the shooter wishes it to go. Cars are designed to go where ever the driver wishes it to go. If the shooter shoots someone with a gun then they are liable for the damage they have caused unless in self defence. If the driver mows down a block of people on a street corner the driver is liable for the damage they have caused unless in self defence. Really its not the gun or the car. Should people go to a gun safety class before they are allowed to take a gun beyond their private property? why not? But blaming the gun or the car or the bat or what ever someone uses to decide to kill someone is totally missing the point.
LOL apparently the laws in the US do not stop anyone from building their own gun. It just regulates your purchasing and felons from possessing. Apparently there is a document in the US called the Constitution that bars the government from infringing certian rights. Privacy, gun ownership and some others. I would say if you want to ban Americans from owning guns then maybe you should petition your polititians to change the Constitution no?
The problem is that for firearms you need metal for the part that handles the bullet and the hot gasses in exess of 2000 degress K. So the idea that one can print ALL the components needed for a firearm is ridiculous. You can print the composite parts that do not see much heat but where the bullet goes will need machining not printing.
A small shop is not a NPE. A small shop is not suing people with patents purchased from corporations without having any products or plans for products what-so-ever. A small shop doesn't procure unmanned offices in the Eastern District of Texas. A small shop can sue for infringments on their own patents without putting up the bond. What the law says is you just cant purchase patents, have no intent to produce anything, and sue world+dog without putting up a bond first. Nothing is stopping you from inventing the latest JupiterJack in your garage, filing the patent, and attempt to license your invention to manufacturers and suing infringers. That is an inventor not an NPE. NPE's buy patents then license them. They invent nothing. nothing at all.
if you look at the bill it seems this is not loser pays for everybody. Its if you purchase patents from corporations, produce nothing, then sue people you have to first put up a bond. How many entities do you know of that 1) Purchases patents from corporations, and 2) Produce nothing, and 3) Sue people over said purchased patents? These people are trolls. think about it. If you are a small guy and you came up with some new invention and patent it then you would be the original inventor on that patent. This law would not apply to you because you didn't meet condition 1)
From what I understand the people who don't have money will not be affected here because they are the original inventor and only people with money purchase patents from corporations to sue other corporations. If you sat down in a barn and came up with a neat idea that you patented and YOU are registered as the original inventor then this law would not apply to you because you obviously did not acquire the patent you are the actual inventor.
So what if this gets challenged by the trolls under the grounds that it may be unconstitutional.
They may argue that if a patent is a property right like a house then as the new owner they should be able to enjoy the same priveleges as the previous owner.
Or the may argue that the law discriminates against them as the new owners of the said property. Not sure how those arguments would hold up though.
the government had non-public information based on many companies reporting these intrusions to the feds way back from the time that Google was hacked and they closed up shop in China.
THIS!! I like. But it took sites like Wikipedia and Google to get involved before Joe sixpack got involved and clicked the big red button to "dial your senator and representatives" Maybe something like an "End software patents day" and this should be repeated over and over until these clowns get it.
Your trolling here is not working. first of all the patents are bullshit patents that should have never been filed and should have never been granted. Sofware is already protected by copyright no need to patent swiping on a screen for gods sake. You don't get it. Software is authored works just like books and other media. Lets take books for example. Another authored work. You should not be able to get a patent on the idea of a story about wars in space. You should be able to get a copyright on your specific story(source code) about wars in space but you should not be able to go sue everyone else because they wrote a story about wars in space that is totally different from your story. If there was a patent on the idea of a story about wars in space then both battlestar galactica and star wars would infringe on that patent. THis is the problem with software patents. It should not be allowed its authored works and properly protected by copywright.
So what the fuck do you suggesst buddy? I mean you sit down at your computer and bang out some open source code that is your code yet you and possibly others have to pay MS for the privilege of using your own code? You think Joe BIden gives a fuck what you have to say about this? These are the same fuckers that worship bill gates when he shows up to petition congress. I don't know at this point what to do about it. Even the President was asked about this software patent bullshit by Lady Ada and his answer "blah we gotta protect 'intellectual property' blah blah" Then you have the current patent office head who equates litigation to innovation so what can be done? The bottom line is that Microsoft is abusing the system to put a cost on as much open source software as possible. THis is not about Android its per say its about Linux and opensource and being able to use any computing device without paying MS. Its egregious disgusting behavior.

oh of course if Apple does it then its the best thing since slice bread.
Well don't use their services then you moron. Gawd people are fucking stupid. Or maybe you are just astroturfing for Apple. Duhh.
tell us how you feel. I bet you LOVE Apple.

sure and make it a felony for parents to provide mature rated games to teenagers punishable by years in prison.
Drivers don't kill people, cars do It's the car manufacturers who should be held to account. Any lawyers out there up for a class action suit.
haha you're a moron and obvous troll. Or maybe your GF is so old that she wouldn't be able to figure out where the windshield wipers are after moving from a Ford to a Chevy.
...rest assured those who rule are not the people.

What does this do for corporate IT departments that BackTrack5 on a $200 laptop cannot?
Astroturf much?
