    Oh for the love of god....THAT'S THE POINT ABOUT PRIOR ART! Where the fuck have you been??? That's the point about all these patent challenges, is their prior art. If so, then the patent is invalid.

  2. Re:It depends on contracts on Music Copyright War Looming · · Score: -1

    Um you don't know much about copyrights do you? Unless it has been specified in a legal contract otherwise, the artist has the following legal right.

    "Then copyright law was revised in the mid-1970s, musicians, like creators of other works of art, were granted “termination rights,” which allow them to regain control of their work after 35 years, so long as they apply at least two years in advance. "

    Fronting money for a song does not automatically entitle the money person to ownership of the song. something you would know if you had bothered to research the topic.

  3. Re:Obscurity Lost on Apple's Unlikely Security Mentor: Microsoft · · Score: -1

    And I'm not going to argue with idiots. Saying Apple is more secure through obscurity is stupid. An OS does not have more security exploits or less security exploits because of the number of people using them. Security holes already exist in the OS, they were already present.

    For OS X and Windows to be the same OS X would have to have the same type and number of exploits. OS X does not.

    There are over 100,000 viruses for Windows. OS X has about 5.

    Windows has more security exploits than OS X. That's a fact.

  4. Re:At least... on Apple's Unlikely Security Mentor: Microsoft · · Score: -1

    Ah the fools logic. Security exploits exist in Windows whether 1 person or a 1 million people use it. A million people using Windows did not suddenly create security holes. These holes existed before anyone used it.

    Thus for OS X to be the same security risk, OS X would have to have the same type and number of security exploits as Windows.

    It doesn't. Different OS. It's Unix based which is a hell of lot more secure than Windows.

  6. Re:The law may be an ass... on Court: Domain Seizures Don't Violate Free Speech · · Score: 0

    Ahem from the article:

    "the Judge concludes that the drop in visitor traffic due to their seizure does not establish a substantial hardship, and therefore no reason exists to return the domain.

    This line of reasoning goes directly against previous rulings in First Amendment cases. As the EFF points out, in two earlier Supreme Court decisions it was concluded that having alternatives available does not mean that freedom of speech isn’t violated.

    According to the EFF, the peculiarities of the ruling don’t end there.

    “As if misapplying the relevant substantive First Amendment analysis wasn’t bad enough, the court failed to even address the fatal procedural First Amendment flaws inherent in the seizure process: namely, that a mere finding of ‘probable cause’ does not and cannot justify a prior restraint. How the court believes that the seizure satisfies the First Amendment in this regard is a mystery,” they write."

    "Now imagine half the population plugging cars into the gird every night that draw WAY more power than any consumer HVAC unit."

    Really? Half the population charging cars is going to draw more power than half the population using A/C? Seriously? Do you have any idea how much energy a compressor uses? Do you have any idea how long it takes to cool down a house 1 degree?

  10. RTFA on New NASA Data Casts Doubt On Global Warming Models · · Score: -1

    From the article:

    "It is concluded that atmospheric feedback diagnosis of the climate system remains an unsolved problem, due primarily to the inability to distinguish between radiative forcing and radiative feedback in satellite radiative budget observations."

    http://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/3/8/1603/pdf

    It's about cloud coverage. So it makes it harder to make accurate warming models.

    But here are some fun facts. The global temperature has been rising over the past 10 years. Each summer has been hotter then the previous. There have been more droughts each year. Climate extremes (warmer summers, colder winters, harsher storms) have been increasing each year. Each climate event we have experienced has been consistent with global warming models.

    So by all means bury your head in the ground and pretend food prices are not going up and electrical grid demands aren't increasing and water rationing aren't happening.

    Thanks for being a complete fucking douche bag.

    RTFA....the article was looking at record contracts and noting how record companies are just as much "pirates" as people who pirate music.

    The article pointed out that bands can sell millions of records and still make no money because all the profits go to the record company.

    The article also point out that record contracts are not clear and simple. The contacts do not point out what the different fees are and how they are calculated. If it was an honest contact it would.

    "...Facebook is about to launch a mobile platform aimed squarely at working on the iPhone (and iPad). But it won’t be distributed through the App Store as a native application, it will be entirely HTML5-based and work in Safari. Why? Because it’s the one area of the device that Facebook will be able to control (or mostly control).
