Yep, and the imports outstrip that. For the three months to March good and services imports averaged $233 gigabucks and exports averaged $183.1. With China in March imports outstripped exports by $21.7 gigabucks. That said, secret-squirrel-shit, ITAR restricted or bespoke components for military equipment are unlikely to be imported, even from allies.
Perhaps not long, but it shouldn't last long in court unless they can show likely customer confusion between a browser and motorcycle accessories. The stylised "A" is not registered against any category like computer software. http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4007:e52vk0.2.1
the actual use of APIs to acheive interoperability could still be fair use
Or, the judge could consider 9 lines out of many thousands of lines in the original work as de minimis copying and admonish Oracle for bothering the court with trifles.
Senators represent a State or Territory. He'd pick the State that gave him the best odds of winning (6 seats per State per election vs. 2 seats per Territory per election). IIRC it only takes the signatures of fifty individuals eligible to vote in that State or Territory to nominate as an independent senate candidate. As long as he is not disqualified by section 44 of our Constitution (dual or foreign citizen, subject to a custodial sentence of more than one year, undischarged bankrupt, on public payroll etc.) he'll be easily registered. Winning is another thing.
If Facebook ends up close to $38 at the end of the day, it will be a rare example of the stock having been priced correctly at the start.
I think it is very much more the case that the stock was not greatly underpriced to start. There will be a tremendous psychological pressure on investors not to take a capital loss on the first day so of course they will not sell below the price they bought. There's also not been new actual financial results, time, rumour, or negative herd mentality enough to kick in and override this self-preservation. Whether it was greatly overpriced is, I think, self-evident.
The REAL invention that made cars attractive was efficient production of gasoline, and that was due to an American, William Meriam Burton who invented thermal cracking.
... and that was due to a Russian Vladimir Shukhov who invented thermal cracking and patented it in the Russian empire (No. 12926, November 27, 1891). The American input was to tweak the technique and patent it in the United States. FTFY.
In this day and age that is called 'theft' but in reality there are precious few, if any ideas, that are not built on those of others whether in the US or elsewhere.
Spoken as if the US citizens spread widely across the world are not loyal to the US and its interests. In fact, insert any country you like, it's a vacuous accusation that can be levelled against the "other" anywhere.
If they give you a physical copy of the software in a tangible form the first sale doctrine will generally allow you to on-sell that copy. Even that is routinely challenged by legal teams aggressively overreaching the actual copyright law or trying to use contract law to prohibit such sales. It's largely a moot point now though. Try getting a legal physical copy of OS X Lion (or any iPad app, or eBook etc.) to apply the first sale doctrine to. It seems that OS X Lion would have killed Psystar dead anyway, because they could not download Lion onto their non-Apple hardware in order to customise it. Had Apple done this earlier it would have been cheaper all round.
No, I live on the opposite side of Brisbane;) I do have wild animals living next door, although their parents would probably not like me calling their darlings that.
I am Australian and I've never heard of "GAME" or a chain of 95-stores with that name. Voluntary administration is the step before formal bankruptcy, where an independent administrator is appointed by the company board to assess rescue options or (usually) wind-up the company and deal with creditors.
No, it is not free to make TV shows but the end broadcasters pay the producers to make them in order to fill broadcast hours and provide a vehicle for their revenue earner: advertising. The broadcasters are in turn paid for the insertion of advertising material into their transmission, and by re-broadcasters. This advertising is sold on the basis of the number of eyeballs that could potentially see it since there is no accurate measure of the number of people that actually see it (live or delayed), and even less of a measure of those that actually absorb it. That potential number of people is completely unchanged by this action which is, ultimately, no different to people using DVR skip, making a coffee, surfing the 'net, or having a pee during the advertising breaks. Everybody in that chain is fully paid by the time of broadcast except the end viewer who, understandably, does not feel in the slightest guilty for not watching the advertising material. This is also the end viewer who, having paid for a DVD box set, would still be bombarded by unskippable warnings containing half-truths that effectively call them a 'thief' and, in many cases, advertising. The industry is, as usual, trying to have its cake, eat its cake, and have a piece of everyone else's cake too.
If a legal challenge is mounted on the basis that creating external metadata, such as an index of positions in the stream, is a breach of copyright in the stream then it will be one of the more memorable attempts to overreach copyright law. If such a thing were allowed to stand then the act of creating an index card for a DVD library listing the length of the feature and extras would be a copyright violation, bookmarking a position in a movie your are watching would be a violation: clearly an idiotic proposition and counter to the public interest. I suspect, as usual, copyright holders will attempt to circumvent the actual copyright law by using contracts to do an end-run.
The State of Bavaria holds the copyright? Can someone explain how the single state of Bavaria, to the exclusion of the other states that together formed the republic of Germany, came to hold the copyright in this work. Hitler's last will allocated his possessions:
What I possess belongs — in so far as it has any value — to the Party. Should this no longer exist, to the State, should the State also be destroyed, no further decision of mine is necessary.
The linked report is for a different, and IMHO more interesting, incident off the West Australian coast few years agao. I referenced it only for the pictures showing the value of the advice to always wear your seatbelt while seated.
So, any person in the United States that orders a book, video, or CD from overseas is breaking this law if the book, video, or CD is also available from a US distributor. Nice. Better hope that Amazon never ships your order from a European, Indian, Japanese, or Chinese fulfilment centre.
In my personal experience of royalty claims... the claimant will want to be paid for any conceivable use of the "technology" even if it really has nothing to do with them. Create a unit, pay them. Transfer the unit, pay them. Bank the unit, pay them. Collect interest on the banked unit, pay them. Convert the unit into "real" money, pay them. Produce any sort of system that can be used to handle the units, pay them. Do the same thing on a mobile, pay them.... or a social network etc. There's no common sense involved, it's a case of what they can get away with. Doubly so when they are a large concern, and the user of the "technology" is not.
Can anyone point to a good example of a Qt Quick/Declarative/QML (What exactly is the correct terminology?) application for the desktop environment. As a Qt dev with traditional Qt widget desktop apps I'd like to see a good example, preferably open source, of a non-trivial desktop application using the mobile-oriented Qt Quick/QML/Declarative. I suspect I'll be waiting a while.
The number, bless her soul, is standing just outside Hilbert's Hotel and thus is near infinite when the first of coach carrying countably infinite people arrives.
