Sad, that was always my favorite "thing that schools never secure". You can just about always get into VBA macros on Word, and use that to run a command line or regedit or etc.
Alright, they elaborated on claim 1 a fair amount between the application and the accepted patent, but it essentially says 'a scaled depiction of the desktops, with window outlines proportional to the windows on those desktops', which I'd seen before 2002 on linux desktop managers. Note that depiction doesn't necessarily mean thumbnail, the gray desktop pagers with all the windows outlined are also depictions.
Exactly. Patent-farming to stop competition is just flagrant abuse of the patent system, albeit legal. Patent farming by patenting others' technology that you have no right to is flagrant ILLEGAL abuse of the patent system, and whatever lazy ass/bribed patent officers who granted it should be imprisoned.
I don't understand how IP bans are related at all in this though - IP bans are not comparable to a total IP log. IP bans are usually only of spammers and disruptive users who probably never contributed pirated content in the first place.
IP addresses logged by the FORUM SOFTWARE is not the same as IP addresses logged by the torrent tracker or the torrent search pages. Unless there was some wrongdoing going on in the forum, those IP addresses are completely irrelevant and it would be a gross privacy violation for the court to ask for them.
"Wikipedia is not a venue for publishing, publicizing or promoting original research."
Either a proof is published elsewhere, in which case it should be referenced, or it has not, in which case it is original research, and should not be on Wikipedia.
That quote was incomplete, it's really:
"I'll have to ask [IE general manager] Dean [Hachamovitch] what the hell is going on, I mean, we're not, there's not like some deep secret about what we're doing with IE. *cackle*"
Basing medical decisions on YouTube videos is the equivalent of asking a random person on the street what they think about it. If someone wants to do that, good for them, hopefully they will get weeded from the gene pool.
If they make decisions that way for their children, they should be prosecuted and have their children taken from them and given to responsible parents.

Javascript is good for everything! My Javascript DRM system is totally awesome.
How about GTA:FPS? The GTA games are great, but 3rd person auto-aim battling sucks. Tried GTA:SA:MP? PVP is horrid.
1) Take child's pet and laptop
2) Charge laptop heavily
3) Put pet on laptop
4) Sue!
Ouch :( I didn't think it would be redundant in the face of all the other comments being negative on the topic :/
Am I the only one who is just really happy about this?
Nethack on an old dying nix box that had food inside it. I remember opening it up a couple years ago and finding zombified strawberries.
Well, applications that use dates ~26+ years ahead may have trouble, but nothing else will, since the world is going to end on 2012!

I normally am happy when bad things happen to Microsoft, but I was Antitrust-Probed by aliens once, and I know how it can feel.
I've always just used car anti-freeze in my ice cream. It's an acquired taste, but it is really delicious!
Come on now mods, you can't mod EVERY POST +5 Insightful and/or Funny.
Sorry man, jokes based on TFA don't get modded funny. Only off-topic jokes or jokes based on false assumptions about TFA get that.

I wonder if they included Microsoft patents such as their Virtual Desktop Pager patent? (http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&d=PTXT&p=1&p=1&S1=(Microsoft.ASNM.+AND+%22Virtual+desktop+manager%22)&OS=AN/Microsoft+and+) Honestly, a vast portion of Microsoft's patents are complete bullshit that should NEVER have been awarded. Remove cases of OBVIOUS prior art (Linux has had virtual desktop pagers as described in that patent forever, and when they received this patent Microsoft had never used such a thing), and Microsoft's patent portfolio is shit. ~nog_lorp
I get the feeling this show is going to be all social engineering and burglary and is going to have very little real computer security going on.
