I'm guessing you have no clue that they only want the dumbest people in the jury. Go sit down for voire dire some time.
"they failed to convince the US Circuit Court"
They're idiots too, ruling upon something almost 100% of them have no real-world first-hand RELEVANT experience in in the first place, thus they're out of their fucking jurisprudence.
"and they failed to sway the SCOTUS"
Same idiot SCOTUS that ruled on Citizen's United. Yea, that instills in me MUCH confidence in their overall intelligence.
"Samsung's team failed, and they failed spectacularly"
No, this country's educational system failed. Every last one of these fuckers needs to go back to school and get a real fucking job in IT so maybe they'd have a real clue instead of the one cherry-picked for them.
"The patents are now among the few whose validity is affirmed by the SCOTUS."
One of the awesome things we can do is endlessly shame the court for this. And that is exactly what needs to happen. Too bad you seem too eager to suck government dick instead of seeing the real problem, which is the government itself.
" It just patents a method of presenting it in software, and only covers one specific implementation. Go read the claims: https://patents.google.com/pat......and then find something the same that predates the patent application"
Okay, four pieces of software I used back in the Windows 9X days utilized a 'slide this cursor to unlock your computer' (for CTRL-ALT-DEL challenged/disabled people.)
Playstation portable, as well as many porable music players (including fucking CD players) had a physical slide to unlock WELL BEFORE Apple ever had it.
The Supreme Court is very obviously staffed with a bunch of technologically-incompetent idiots and we need to change the constitution so we can get rid of them and vote every last one of their dumb asses out now.
Spoken like a true idiot that's never touched Linux.
Lemme tell you about some of the horrible vulnerabilities in its buffer cache.
Bad enough that one VM going down utilizing said vulnerability will take all other VMs on the physical machine with it.
Their buffer cache system acts exactly like its kernel-mode GPU stack (as in it goes down, everything goes with it and no recovery.) Absolute utter shit.
While you may have HDR support, I'll bet unless you're using OLED, you simply could NOT display that with any degree of reliability.
I've seen "HDR-ready" displays that simply cannot support it because of the physics involved in the physical panel. You know of any TN panels that do HDR to any reasonable degree? I know of ONE and lemme tell you its viewing angle is utter shit, so the second you go slightly off-center, so much for your HDR, and hello shit tons of chromatic abberation much like you're looking through a poor-quality lens.
You don't even know what you're talking about. 2K resolution is 2048x1080 - aka DCI 2K. 2560x1440 is WQHD. 1920x1080 is FHD.
Much like you have no fucking clue that your mining gear was outdated the moment your ass bought it., hence the "replace every 4 months" comment you failed to understand in the other Shitcoin thread.
"Huge difference between HDR and non-HDR color and contrast. "
The majority of monitors, let alone TVs, don't even support HDR. Hard to see the difference when the hardware isn't physically fucking capable of showing it.
Just the other day, actually. The Mexican grocer near me has a jewelers and in-store McDonald's. You can no joke get a voucher from the jeweler for the gold you bring in and spend it in-store at the McDonald's or on groceries.
If I want a game, dozens of people I know will simply gift it to me so I can play with them. The entirety of my Steam library was paid for by other people.
"They're convinced there's $121 billion worth of illegal transactions happening with Bitcoin"
If you'd read some law in countries other than your own, say China, you'd see that this kind of financial activity (which has been what's driving Bitcoin's prices up for a good while, wealthy Chinese moving/hiding their money out of the country in HUGE quantities) is actually illegal.
But hey, you keep your narrow education and world viewpoint. Those of us with broader global mindsets and experience and education will simply laugh at your stupidity.
Sounds like you failed basic chemistry and physics and reading comprehension, too, because the phases of matter involved were mentioned, directly in the fucking summary.
"These ice crystals hold a remarkable quantity of natural methane gas."
Anyone with a brain knows ice is a solid. Gas is already mentioned.
Slashdot Mirror
Any half-competent nerd programmer has most likely already built their own system several times.
It's a sysadmin with a screwdriver that worries me more. IME they've rarely seen the inside of a computer case of any sorts.

Well before Apple even thought of the iPhone.
You must've been born after 2000.
Twitter is so shittily coded that your 640K of RAM wouldn't even handle their header file.
"AFAIK I never saw that before."
Playstation portable, as well as many porable music players (including fucking CD players) had a physical slide to unlock WELL BEFORE Apple ever had it.

"And for non gaming 'good enough' graphics isn't that hard to do."
You say this but on a brand new i3 with a GTX970 I get lag just scrolling most websites. People don't know how to code properly any longer.
Some of us still have working TI 99/4A systems with cassette tape drives.
Any nerd worth a shit can handle a screwdriver and have something disassembled and reassembled inside of an hour.
"but there is no way you are pressing vinyl."
Desktop Record Cutters have been around for pressing or etching your own vinyls for like three years, now. Do try and keep up with the times.
"The mobile phone replaced the PC"
Not for about 80% of my needs has a smartphone even come close to a PC.
Stalker? No, your brand of stupidity is fairly non-unique and easily spotted.
At 77 megs it's a fucking lot of bloat for a fucking text routing protocol.
You rely upon software instead of hardware effects like what comes with the old SBLive!
Protip: Software FX universally SUCKS.

Please, I could do that with a single Pentium 4 or FX-9590.
Newegg's prices are too high. Just built a new Ryzen system for $200 less on Pricewatch.
Just the other day, actually. The Mexican grocer near me has a jewelers and in-store McDonald's. You can no joke get a voucher from the jeweler for the gold you bring in and spend it in-store at the McDonald's or on groceries.

All of the places around me that accept Bitcoin are places I wouldn't go to. Brothel, gambling hall, hole-in-wall pizzeria, Taxi service.
Fucking useless.

Take your ass back to school.
Sounds like you failed basic high school chemistry/physics. Specifically the part about states of matter.
