I haven't seen a patent get examined prior to 3 years after filing. If a patent is issued three years from filing, it will have 17 years of life left (as you requested). A patent rarely issues within 3 years from filing. I'd guess an average would be more like 4.5ish. So, if my guess is correct (it's probably close) thats only 15.5 years of life in a patent. I've seen people argue that that is still too long and I'm not sure I disagree. But if you are satisfied with 17 years, you should be pretty happy with the current system.
By slowing them down, we have more time to figure out what they are planning. I never said that it was a perfect solution or that it lived up to everyone's expectations. The counter-terrorism is *effective* in slowing them down.
You aren't really trying to say that since we can only slow their communication, not stop it, we shouldn't do anything.
Obviously the level of effectiveness should be balanced with its intrusiveness, but that is a bigger issue than I'd be interested in discussing right now...
Well, do you honestly expect them to say that. Do you walk around telling everyone everything that you screwed up. Especially when the you is the collective "you" and not you personally? I don't expect the government to announce this stuff...I expect the media to. Honestly, I don't feel like there has been any lack of information on both of your topics...the real problem: I don't think people really care enough; they are too wrapped up in their daily life to look at the big picture.
My point was that you can't a vulnerability to a company's customers and then claim that you were just trying to help the company out. By people who can't fix it, I meant people who did not run/manage/control the servers or whatever is affected. I didn't mean to imply that they had to be able to, nor have the desire to fix whatever it is.
Do we need a Good Samaritan law [wikipedia.org] for white hat hackers?
Clause 1 should be: No part of this law applies if you broadcast a vulnerability to a list of people who can't fix it. Being a messenger of a vulnerability is cool in my book, but being a broadcaster is not. You can't try to get revenge and then later claim you were trying to help. That scheme is pretty easy to see through.
Come on. Please read the article before complaining. The peer review process is merely to submit prior art. Everyone on slashdot now has the chance to submit all the prior art that they always talk about whenever a patent story is posted. The art will be reviewed by the examiner ultimately. The goal is to discover and have the examiner review the most relevant prior art. Microsoft can use its 100 user ids to submit prior art against itself...but they already have a duty to submit any art they know about...so your comment really doesn't apply.
Few markets advertise cable card support, but they are actually available widespread. We are fast approaching the deadline requiring companies to provide cablecard support (if we haven't hit that deadline already).
I'm sorry, but to me the term engineer means more than just doing the work and having the knowledge. It is a title that is given after you receive an engineering degree. I'm not saying that you don't know every bit as much or more than someone with the title, but I don't agree that you gain the title by the simple knowledge. It may be arbitrary and is certainly no measure of your intelligence, but the title engineer comes with the degree. Its just my opinion though, everyone is welcome to their own...
I was sloppy in my post because my school had electrical engineering with a computer focus (computer engineering) and computer/software engineering (software engineering with a little bit of computer engineering background). Thanks for the clarification!
Seems like you can't really call yourself a computer engineer if you don't know what one is... I'm sure I'll get hammered for going this route, but do you have a degree in computer engineering? You wouldn't call yourself an electrical or civil engineer without a degree, so why is it any different for computer.
How does Software Technician sound? Putting two-bit coder on your resume probably won't get you far!:-)
You've been watching "The Heist" haven't you? They set off the alarm of some antique store repeatedly. The cops keep showing up until they decide that it is another false alarm and don't show. Then they bust the window and steal what they want.
Haven't read the rest, but because it is a dependent claim you need to look at the limitations of claim 13 as they are included. Also, each of those "means for" clauses means that you have to look to the specification to determine what those mean. For example, if the spec describes a means for producing an estimated DC coefficient as several different types of processor chips, then the patent only covers those chips and the equivalent of those chips.
I know my GPS sees road types because I can tell it to exclude some road types from a particular trip. For example, I can say: no highways, no dirt roads, etc...
How "express" could it be if it requires a book in two parts to learn how to do it?
About as "express" and an express bus that takes over an hour to get from point a to point b. It is called an express bus because it doesn't make every stop along the way. It is called SQL express because it doesn't include the same features and licensing as the full version. For a similar example, see Outlook Express vs. Outlook.
even if the jury DOES do this, the case just ends up in the appeals court, where you need ANOTHER jury to nullify, and that's not likely.
Appeals courts only have appellate jurisdiction and, thus, only judge the appealed trial. There is no additional finding of fact unless the case is remanded for some reason back to a court with original jurisdiction. Usually there are no juries involved in appeals, instead there is a panel of judges. See this for a good explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_court_o f_appeals
Its not the blurb/summary, its the article... Not only did the author of the article wear his bias on his sleave, he didn't even do his research to fully understand what he is talking about!
I *like* when the click-wheel gets pressed in my pocket and switches songs or volume on its own. I *like* when the ipod turns on in my bag and runs the batteries dead. I can't be bothered to turn hold off to make adjustments. No one else should use the hold switch...

Yes, I do!
So, its effective then...

The degree must be from an ABET certified school.

170TB*8=1360Tb
1360Tb/(35*60)s = .65 (rounded)
As another poster said, your travel time would have to be VERY VERY fast to get 3e16 Tbps...

Sounds kinda silly when you think about it, huh?
The summary incorrectly lists 515GB, but the article says 515Gb...
