"So...will a rapper try to trademark the word n-igg-er (seems you can't actually type the word on slashdot anymore..?)"
Yup, despite being a supposed arena for free thought, free speech is not allowed, here.
Pretty pathetic behavior coming from supposed Americans, if you ask me. They should probably be stripped of their rights to vote since they can't adhere to some of our most basic constitutional guarantees.We have this thing called equal treatment under the law. Nothing in the constitution allows corporations to be immune from this, since they're people now thanks to Citizens United. If we can't speak freely, they can't speak freely, end of story.
I live in Hayward, just across the bay from Facebook and Google. If I were offered a job at either of them I would consider turning it down solely because of the commute problem in this area. In nominal conditions I can make it to Stanford Hospital in about 43.6 minutes. In commute conditions without access to the commuter lane that can stretch to 2 hours or more.
Would 300 units even make a dent in the problem? The Google lunch area alone (been there) accommodates several times that number. At best this would be temporary accommodations.
And the problem with temporary accommodations is that they tend to turn into permanent accommodations. And it is rarely very pretty.
That's the first thing you should probably consider. Is the cost of physical paperwork and security less than the cost of implementing proper cybersecurity?
I see so many businesses trying to go digital when it's horribly obvious that they have no business doing so nor would their business actually benefit from such a thing.

Well, yea. When your company goes so far as to A. treat its customers like children and prevent them from using 18+ apps that they PAID FOR (tortious interference of business/contract) B. go out of your way to fuck your customers over on repair charges and C. claim to innovate when you just copy everything that's been done before or conceptualized on TV, using commodity parts they didn't even fucking design, well yea I'm certainly not going to like that company.
And I used to work for them. I can tell you far more horror stories.
You are a participant in the whole chain of copyright infringement. The streaming company most likely does not have license to modify the movie in such a manner. If you watch it, specifically ordering it with stripped content, you've contributed to the overall act if they provide and do not have license to do so.
Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, as any judge would say.
Well, you COULD go for quarter wavelength harmonics (2400/4=600) with current antennas (only needs to be 1.25 inches for that) and SDR but that's still going to have its own problems. Full wave would need an almost 20 inch antenna.
It won't. You'll still be in a 20MHz slice of bandwidth. You'll eat it up just as quickly and they'l likely charge you more to recoup costs since this is new spectrum and this requires new radios and new phones.
"Google doesn't profit exclusively from it, and doesn't curate those links based on their internal activity"
You must never scroll to the bottom of a Google Search, where they say they clearly omit results based upon DMCA complaints.
And if you click the link to show those omitted results, you still get ads on that results page, so yes, they do directly profit from it (it doesn't have to be exclusively.)
Edison's light bulbs were nowhere near 20% efficient. We only just recently figured out encasing the filament with an IR-reflective/visible-transparent glass can (over a short period of time) bring the efficiency close to that of LED at true blackbody output.
Slashdot Mirror
Nope, that's my gig. He handles the night shift.
Which explains our hate for each other. Were we both on the same drinking schedule this might be different.

Yea, as if ledgers can't be forged in a democratic-based blockchain.
Fuck right off you scam-sniffing fucks.
You have no fucking clue what a 'public ledger' does, do you?
Sounds like a good prescription to me!
Motherfucker needs to stick within his own goddamned jurisprudence in the medical field and a swift kick in the nuts to ensure he stays there.
Uhh, Beau1080p up above said, and I quote..

10 minutes after you.
Bet we just found a shill account.
After just a few years of that kind of pay, they'd be able to afford those.
"Google has the right to it, because the government signed a sixty year lease handing it to them to use as they see fit"
Contracts cannot violate laws nor negate them. Thus, the Endangered Species Act stands.

Far more grounded in reality than you, pissant.
"As is often the case, you have a preconceived bias for the studios"
You must not read, because I HATE the studios, thus my bias is against them, not for them.
Back to school for you.

"How does that make me a stupid person?"
You're a stupid person for assigning such power and ability to something like mere fucking words, you goddamned moron.
You're also a fucking tool for performing copyright infringement, but that's another story altogether.
Well, you COULD go for quarter wavelength harmonics (2400/4=600) with current antennas (only needs to be 1.25 inches for that) and SDR but that's still going to have its own problems. Full wave would need an almost 20 inch antenna.
No, this is wire fraud/mail fraud and theft. This is not for small claims, this is for the AG and a massive fucking lawsuit.
SDR doesn't do shit when it comes to the physical limitations of an antenna.
"until EGA/VGA started becoming a thing"
How the fuck did you misunderstand this so badly?
It won't. You'll still be in a 20MHz slice of bandwidth. You'll eat it up just as quickly and they'l likely charge you more to recoup costs since this is new spectrum and this requires new radios and new phones.

You fail.

You hit exactly what I was thinking. I'd bet money this is a ploy to get more people to use the app, so that more spying can be done.
Good thing I don't trust/use apps which require my phone number. That's none of their fucking business.

I'm struggling to find any Democrats that actively engaged in hunting and killing gay people.
Plenty of Republicans on file and in prison on the other hand for that exact thing.
