If it's patent encumbered, then it isn't truly interoperable, now is it? If the folks over at Haiku OS have to pay for a license to interoperat, they probably aren't going to have the money to do it, at least not without cutting substantially in other areas. Same goes for other small non-commercial environments.
Except that the MPEG-LA patent pool means that it can't be used by Firefox as an included plug in. Remember than in some parts of the world, Firefox is the most popular browser, and even in parts where it's not, they've still got a sizable install base. Same goes for other free browsers, they can't be expected to pay when they aren't charging for their products.
Because if you change your mind, you might not be able to get all the features. I'm envisioning this as limited edition PSP2, for a limited time only, you can use all the features that we're promising before we dickishly decide to stealth remove them.
Oh, please, the same bigoted morons that think Wikileaks is tapping secure DoD communications equipment will buy that argument. The people with at least half a mind will see it for what it is, an effort to help with the collateral damage.
That's standard practice, and it's for his own good. Just because he's being held pre-trial doesn't mean that the other inmates aren't going to stab him to death before the trial. Surprisingly enough not all crimes are equal in terms of inmate treatment.
Of course he's depressed, whether he's innocent or not, the prospect of facing a long prison term is inherently depressing. Being innocent does not ensure that you won't end up doing time.
Also, speedy trial, doesn't preclude a thorough investigation, the provision was there to ensure that the government didn't endlessly delay a trial while doing a superficial investigation. Seeing as this is a complicated case and they're still doing legitimate investigation that provision shouldn't come into play.
He will face a court martial, but this isn't a capital offense. Individuals that have been caught and convicted of providing information like that in the past have faced long prison terms. There's a spy still in prison since the mid 80s for spying on the US for Israel.
Sure he'll likely spend decades behind bars, but he's not facing any capital charges here.
What's going on there is fairly typical of the in group out group aspect of culture. iPhone users need to feel superior to the users of other brands of phones so they selectively ignore the facts to highlight that they made the right decision. I've seen the same sort of pathetic behavior out of Kindle owners, who introduce features that my Nook has as being Kindle only.
That's not to say that I don't ever do that, but seeing those iPhone owners practically dry humping their devices makes me wonder why Apple doesn't just release the iDildo and get it over with.
You're just being obtuse. It means that all new smartphones introduced in 2011 will use dual core chips. Still a rather high goal, but definitely plausible at this point.
Not really, Apple won't allow Flash on their iPhones, Google provides a Youtube app for Android, and I'm not really sure what RIM does with Blackberry. Point being that the developers are likely to fix that before it even gets to the point where the end user has to change any configuration files.
They do have the legal right to request the information. This comes under US law and given that there is an ongoing investigation into what Pfc Manning may or may not have leaked it most certainly is relevant. Now, it might be that most or all of the people aren't involved, but you can't very well know that without doing an investigation.
If you don't like our privacy laws, then don't user our services. I don't think that it's that unreasonable to recognize that a service that's headquartered and provided from a foreign state is going to be beholden to foreign laws.
I did look, and I couldn't find any evidence that Twitter is anything other than a US company.
I realize you're largely joking there, but that's a serious problem we're going to have in the future. Between the definite espionage that happens in China and the possibility that a foreign government will decide to cut us off, we're quite vulnerable to that sort of thing at the moment.
That's certainly one aspect. The other aspect is that we have way too much riding on tests. Tests are known to be faulty measures of knowledge. A better approach tends to be basically evaluating the students constantly, but with small exercises balanced over multiple types. Answer questions in class, group work, applications and such.
It's a lot harder to fool that sort of comprehensive assessment than a written exam covering most of the class' grade.
Depends upon the field of study. I had an O Chem prof that took that position. We were allowed to bring in as many books as we liked, as many pages of notes as we liked and any other resources. The only things we couldn't use were the other students and the internet.
The reason being that in the real world, chemists look things up constantly, nobody is expected to know everything, and with a field of any complexity they won't know everything.
Technically, that wouldn't really be opensource anymore. That would be apparently open source. It's definitely possible, there was that case back in the 80s with the BSD code, but in terms of the GPL, that would be a violation presumably.
Indeed, unless they're providing free Apps as a part of the deal, I can't imagine how that's going to fly. I'm not aware of any of the competitors charging for access to their equivalent shop.
It's your property, assuming you bought one, and you can do whatever you like with your property, provided that there isn't a law against that. I think that's a point that's been lost in recent years, once you sell somebody a product, it's theirs to do with as they see fit. Even if what they wish to do is burn it, bury it or grind it into a fine powder.
That's how property works, if they're not actually providing you with that freedom, then they ought to be brought up on fraud charges.
Health inspectors are a good example as are workers for the state's IT department. Sure they might be in the building 8 hours a day, but that doesn't mean that they're by their phone for the entire day. Not to mention when they need to be called to fix something during off hours.
Moreover, he's not taking all the phones, he's just taking the ones that aren't necessary to the performance of their jobs. I'd be surprised if the state health inspectors, or inspectors in general are going to be stripped of theirs, as a good part of their day requires them to be on the go.
Solid point, for most people addresses on the network shouldn't be publicly accessible unless you choose to make them so. And if you're having to manually add access to new devices, what's the difference between a publicly routable, but blocked, address and one that isn't a public address.
Strictly speaking, there's no reason why anybody should need to run IPv4 on their home network, or likely even on their corporate network. An N:N NAT mapping should solve most of the problems that we were trying to deal solve with the switchover.
Sure it's a bit kludgy, but for home users, it's probably the best way, at least until the older computers without native support for IPv6 and software is in place for everybody.
Indeed, and worse is that at this time HSTS doesn't solve that problem as you have to visit the site in order to have the request made. I'd expect MS, Firefox et al., to be including a list at some point in the foreseeable future of at least the most common HSTS sites.

Ten cents is ten cents more than I'm currently required to pay to use Firefox.

What money? The money that Paypal is sitting on or the money that Mastercard won't allow to be donated?

Well, if you prevent them, then they won't try. The problem with both methods is that the cheaters tend to adjust and find new ways of doing it.
