What do they consider rural in the UK? Is there any truly rural space left in the British Isles? I hate to think what large swathes of Australia, Canada and the USA where plenty of people live might be considered.
I don't think it would change much which is why it is dumb for the EU to try and regulate it. OK, so they can't merge in the EU, but they are both American based companies, so if they are merged in the US, then both EU companies can just send profits back to the unified US company.
I am certain that it is against company law to "just send" money somewhere. They will have to protect their shareholder's investments.
what would happen if they said no? At a guess the EU subsidiaries of each company could not merge but the US ones could. In practice this would mean that the EU subsidiaries would probably have to separate from the combined company, probably with rights to patents and copyright for their previous products in the EU. This would be a mess for everyone, the EU left with subsidiaries with rights that have no future development, and the USA base having rights outside the EU, being able to develop, but losing EU revenues.
Thank goodness that they pointed that out, otherwise Apple could sue to prevent Samsung lawyers from actually coming to court, given that they would be infringing on Apple's patent on the human form. Realistically though, Apple would just need to collect licencing fees from all new mothers.
But being apple they're on;y interested in the male form.
Yet, when I did a search for "apple" it doesn't come up once in the article. I even read it and it's not about apple in anyway. Are you mental?
This is a proof that apple fanbois are like fundamentalist Christians: fundie: Whould you like a leaflet on Bible Class? other: No thanks I'm a Buddhist fundie: Why do you hate Jesus?
Apple Fanboi: Whould you like an iPad ? other: No thanks I've got a cheap tablet that I might be able to run android on Apple Fanboi: Why do you hate Apple?
Which part of "exclusive" did you have a hard time with?
None. Facebook, and as far as I know all Social media sites allow messages to be sent between individuals, so they are sites which "...allows exclusive access with a current or former student". Didn't you get that from the article title?
Can you friend a teacher in your school that does not have you in any of his/her classes?
When I was at school, yes certainly. In primary school we had one teacher for everything, changing each year. There were four teachers per class so we only got taught by a quarter. In secondary school probably most teachers taught me at some time, but there were optional subjects that I never took. I had no dealings with the cookery teachers, most music teachers (it was compulsory for 3 years), and a few others.
Certainly when I was at school we had Maths teacher who was head of department and taught all A-level students including her son. Nobody could have accused her of favouritism she worked him harder than the rest of us!
Doesn't this only apply as long as the student is a child? Once the person is an adult they are free to do what they want.
There is no such limitation on the bill. I think it would be much easier to show that preventing two adults from being social networking friends was an unnecessary infringement on freedom of speech (or assembly), but as the bill is worded it can continue until the teacher is 104 and the ex pupil 100.
Teachers cannot establish, maintain, or use a work-related website unless it is available to school administrators and the child’s legal custodian, physical custodian, or legal guardian. Teachers also cannot have a nonwork-related website that allows exclusive access with a current or former student.
For a teacher who works in a small town for a few decades that will be a large number of people they can never friend on facebook. It could even prevent someone friending their husband or wife. A teacher/pupil can have an age difference of four years, which a few years after they younger one graduates will seem an insignificant difference.

The Jodrell Bank Observatory has made man many world-class discoveries. Will it be blinded now the whole spectrum is to be filled?
Just curious.
Would you give up your internet access permanently so the observatory could function?
No but I'd give up having enhanced wifi

Yes there is some. Some parts of The Scottish Highlands are really remote. And of course there are uninhabited islands.
But it's free to post a sob story asking for money.
Can you send me some?
can't wait.
What, are you a Muslim?
Today insteadofseeing a movie my girldfreind came over to my houseand she letmeput my weiner in her !!!!
Your spacebar seems broken
I've never heard it called that before, but I'd blame his girlfriend
'hand-bot,' which can climb bookcases and grab objects with hands; a 'foot-bot,' which can drive around and carry the hand-bot; and an 'eye-bot,'
Add to that dick-bot, the guy who came up with the idea
Wow! It took you three minutes to assess it.
To be fair he probably only read "Vendor: Microsoft".

Does he have a paypal account?
If someone posted details of one here would you trust it anyway?
Does RealNetworks own the word "Real"?
I'd say that if they do that's real stupid ... oh wait!
It took a lot of Dutch Courage for the court to say that.
I must spend that long wanking
Scenario 1, you get a message saying your bandwidth is used up and internet stops. No great problem.
Scenario 2, the net keeps working and there is no indication but you silently get a huge bill at the end of the month. This is really bad
Which is it?
So, A tablet in A movie, that doesn't look like the iPad or Galaxy Tab, is prior art?
A movie is prior art at all? I guess the emphasis is on the word "art", not "prior".
I think that is the sign that there really is no admissible prior art, eh?
Well a waterbed patent was refused because of pior art in a Robert Heinlein novel which described such a bed.

. It reaks of nothing but fervent hate for everything Apple,
Well at least its got something going for it then.
Victor Kayam? But then he really liked the razor.
