Funny, I was never expelled for 40 days and I remember tossing my text book out the window in complete defiance. This kid posts a video of other kids dancing behind the teachers back, note he didn't record the video, and he gets expelled for 40 days. That's 10% of the school year, for postiing a video on the Internet outside of class.
This is what I really have trouble with, they were offered a refund, then reparations have been made. What is there to sue for, I mean no harm no foul, right?
Most manufacturers do not list the color depth of their display. Even fewer will list the actual per-color depth. If the manufacturer lists the color as 16.7 million colors, it should be assumed that the display is 8-bit per-color. If the colors are listed as being 16.2 million or 16 million, consumers should assume that it uses a 6-bit per-color depth. If no color depths is listed, it should be assumed that monitors of 12ms or faster will be 6-bit and the 20ms and slower panels are 8-bit. http://compreviews.about.com/od/multimedia/a/LCDCo lor.htm
I would think so considering Apple offers their Macbooks as "millions of colors" rather than 16.7 million, who knows though if the color/response time is a big enough issue they may be required to state whether theirs is 6-bit or 8-bit. Then again, if your producing videos or print, you damn well ought to understand the problems inherent in selecting your tools.
Yea, except in the case you outline, the users of the software cannot be the defendants. Microsoft has just screwed up by not sueing their customers. For instance, Microsoft never offered *ME* any deal nor did they threaten me, even though they knew there were Linux users infringing for the past three years. Therefore I don't really seem to have liability.
you're just a little confused. Patents don't have that restriction, it's time based. You're thinking of trademarks and calling them copyright. A trademark is a brand, a copyright is something written, and a patent covers an invention. The question is "Is software more invention or more of a written work?". As someone that has written software I believe it is something written or authored.
It's fud vs bca (bravery, certainty and assurance). This is about bed patents rather than good trademarks, so you're just a little off base here. These guys are essentially talking big in the hopes that their big brother (FSF) will step in and cover the checks their asses can't cash. It's kinda childish, but Microsoft has that effect on otherwise normal people.
Never said they did, they have however funded our own enemies. Not to mention the fact that their are effectively two guns of war in the world, the AK-47 and the M-16. Someone is/was selling the AK-47s.
Wrong, we'd be fighting both. Namely elusive, invisible terrorists possibly funded and probably armed by the kremlin. We'd be moving towards all out war with Russia while trying to continue our game of whack-a-mole with the terrorists. More likely, the millitary would not be happy with a revived Soviet opposition, it would be too much. Though the traditional Soviet enemy was easier to deal with, and would be preferable, we can't have both at the same time. Too expensive.
That's all well and good, except inhaling fumes from burning lead, is like *REALLY* bad for you. Seriously, I wonder what the functional working limit is for these people, I can't imagine inhaling lead fumes for more than five years before going stark raving mad.
I can guarantee you that their salaries are on par with their American counterparts.
Bullshit! It's supply and demand people, supply and F*ing demand. You cannot flood the IT field with foreign labor and still claim the US workers make what they used to, or what they should. The fact that H1-Bs earn the same is moot, it's a non-point, it means nothing, they earn as much as US workers as our salary rates drop or remain level regardless of inflation. Seriously, the whole "H1-Bs must be paid the same" is just some crap to slip this past the senate, don't try it on me anymore, more oranges mean the value of an orange goes down, period.
I hope that it's telling, after all Microsoft is essentially following tactics from IBM a company that is not, primarily in the software industry. They have essentially hired IBM's patent lawyer, Marshall Phelps
They haven't actually written any code. They pick the numbers, learn the words necessary and help me write the program, give me directions to write the letter "L" or whatever. When the program runs in slow motion (I use kde's logo kturtle) it highlights the code and they see what happens. It's actually a lot of fun and quite easy for them to understand, it's like simon says.
Drag and drop seems nice, but it is a significant abstraction from real programming. My kids have both learned a bit about programming from logo, and they are 4 and 5.
If your main point was that PC world was shit, why didn't you just say so, instead of dicking around with all this "CEO Probably just wanted him not to write crap" when actually the CEO wanted him to be nice to advertisers, I mean really what is the censorship tag all about? Christ man this is pointless, if I say the original article says it was about crap writing and being insensitive to advertisers, then the current article seems to state that the CEO was being a tard. You'll just say that Zonk is an idiot.

Exactly, this is a school board that's scared of the intarwebs, rather than leveling discipline.

No, Linux's market share is a matter of vender lockin, monopoly abuse, aligned with the fact that Linux is still quite a bit younger than windows.

Now all we will have is three color displays, and we won't have any numbers to guage them with.
How about `grep visa *`?

sorry, should be "BAD patents". As far as I know none of them are in the bedding industry.

I am now convinced there should be an ontopic moderation. (ontopic btw is not a word, neither is btw, of course IANAL).
I would hope so, I'm kinda happy the judge didn't just try to act like he knew what was going on. I think, "Good for him".

You are a bald faced liar or an idiot. It's called supply and demand, they don't cost more because they fuck up the supply.
Oh, man I hope Dell doesn't cut a deal. That would make Novell/Microsoft look trivial.
You're right, let's just hope he's preaching to someone other than the choir (ie. the pointy hairs).

I think Marshall Phelps might keep IBM out of this whole damn thing. Check out the link in my sig.
