Or to be less flippant - where do you get the wierd idea that gay [couples] can't have children?
Well, to be quite scientific about it, they actually can't. They can adopt another couple's child, or one member of the couple can produce a child with a third party, but biologically, a gay couple can't have children by themselves.
Maybe it's not politically correct to say, but this is simply a fact of biology.
A pure hardware problem that will be solved with the next iOS update, i.e. software problem?

VP8 Codec Coming To FFmpeg

Yep. One claim is all that is needed for a product to infringe, but all elements of that claim must apply in order for that claim to succeed.
As BZ is trying to say, a common workaround is to make your product so that one or more elements of each claim do not apply. This is not necessarily an easy thing to do however; it depends on how broad or narrow the given patent(s) is/are.
BTW--I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
The patent's issuance is prima facie evidence of novelty (and all the other elements that are required for a valid patent)
Not necessarily, no. Otherwise, patent attorneys wouldn't be advising their clients to do a novelty search. The results of a novelty search that do appear on a patent are prima facie evidence that the elements claimed are novel over the references listed, but again, this does not necessarily preclude the possibility of prior art and is not prima facie evidence that there is absolutely no prior art.

I am quite aware that this isn't any sort of definitive proof of VP8 being derivative
You misunderstand patent law. Patent law does not require that proof that VP8 is a derivative of H.264. Patent law only requires proof that VP8 uses processes and techniques that are substantially similar to those claimed in the patents for H.264.
OTOTH, in any lawsuit involving those patents, the H.264 patent holders will have to prove that those claims are novel (no prior art) and that even if they were novel, that were not already obvious to someone skilled in the art. And since we're talking about Google, I'm pretty sure they won't have any trouble hiring competent legal counsel should such a lawsuit be brought.
Assuming AES has absolutely no exploitable flaw, the key has sufficient entropy, etc., you'd have to wait for the death-heat of the universe.
However, as I said, given enough time and CPU, anything stored locally is crackable. That's because there are no encryption methods with absolutely no exploitable flaws and password-based keys almost never have sufficient entropy.
Probably because Python is a more widespread skill than R. Python code is also extremely easy to read and understand to most average coders, even if they have little or no experience actually coding Python.
I don't actually live there, but when my wife and I last took vacation, we could see a constellation clearly in the southern sky when were on a twilight cruise from Key West and we weren't sure what it was.
They were just playing that song on the radio a few minutes ago. You've obviously never been near the equator, where the Southern Cross appears near the horizon after sunset.
Ah, so that's what that is... I was wondering about that when I moved to Florida a couple years ago.
Geeks will go and argue whether this is "true multitasking", app switching, etc, but in the end all that will matter is that what end users want to do will just work (play some music in the background, have a voip call come through, keep a gps app navigating, whatever).
1995 just called. They want their pro-Macintosh argument back.
When one of your biggest clients happens to be GM or Blue Cross, it doesn't happen very quickly or ever. I think there are still quite a few Win 2000 machines over there.
Ah. An EDS...errr..HP employee? I remember when IS&S over at GM was spouting off 10 years ago about their 'new' IT model was going to move faster and how they would never be stuck with legacy platforms ever again. When I told them it wouldn't work, they just laughed. Who's laughing now?
Agreed. There is a huge difference. On an Android device, I can ssh into a router or other server with an Internet exposed SSH port via ConnectBot, forward ports, etc., and then access my internal network intranet resources, VNC, etc.
Without true multitasking, I cannot do this on an iPhone.
iOS 4 is supposed to fix is this, is it not? Or did miss something?
It was revealed quite some time ago that Shatner's "dramatic pauses" were due to him trying to remember his lines. Probably equally true for Adam West, though I don't really know.
Meh. You're thinking of WEP. WPA w/TKIP or WPA w/TKIP+AES is a bit better than a hook-and-eye and a sticky note; more like a cheap Chinese-made deadbolt from Walmart, while WPA2 Personal is more like a high-quality deadbolt made with hardened steel. WPA2 Enterprise + Radius is more like a bank vault with an electronic locking system.

Um, what destruction of TPB? Still works for me.

Or 'r0naldo7'.
Not never. Given enough time and CPU cycles, anything stored locally can be cracked. It's just a matter of how long you want to wait.
And what, exactly, prevents you from installing SciPy, Numpy, and Matplotlib into an already existing ActivePython community edition installation?
Hint: Nothing. You download the libraries and install with the canonical 'setup.py install'
Probably because Python is a more widespread skill than R. Python code is also extremely easy to read and understand to most average coders, even if they have little or no experience actually coding Python.
You need to either write COM component in Python and interface with Visual Basic that way, or use IronPython and call it from .Net like this.
You can from Key West.

You sound really, really sure of yourself.
I hate to burst your bubble, but we import more oil from Canada than any other country in the world.
Huh? That is the rest of the world! /me waves his American flag
Whoosh.
FWIW, my wife has an Evo 4G, and I'm getting one in the fall, when my contract is up.
Really? An actor who knows that years of appearing on televisions and movie screens don't qualify someone to run a state or a country?

Sadly, I had no issues reading this: "This is going to make document scanning a real time saver from now on!"
