"patents they've never disclosed" is kind of a contradiction in terms. Usually the claim is that they haven't disclosed which patents are being cross-licensed.
"Patents they've never disclosed" is acurate. They go to companies using Android and say - "Linux uses our patents, pay us or else.", but they never disclose which patents Linux infringes on - they just take the money for a no-sue promise.
22%?
um 2.25% as an opening bid with the normal ending point of 1.2% or 0% depending on cross licensing agreements. At no point was there a 22% offer on the table.
Actually, 2.25% was the opening request - the same opening request they made to Nokia, Sony, and a bunch of other companies. MS ran to the courts to complain rather than negotiate.
Not sure how it's abusive to make an initial offer that's higher than you expect to get. Now, had Motorola/Google refused to negotiate that 2.25%, it might be abusive - but that's not what happened.
Silver nitrate in the film will set off the detectors they use - as will a wide variety of hand lotions and even perfumes.
Other things that will set off the detector/test if you handle your lugage at any time while contaminated with them include:
potting soil, grass patch, plant food, and of course straight fertilizer.
Cleaning products - anything with amonia in it.
attending a show with pyrotechnics
gun powder residue - black or smokeless.
nitrate based medicines for heart conditions
insecticides
The list goes on, but the point is, even transporting your lugage in the same trunk as you carried potting soil in 2 months ago is going to get you flagged as a positive. After that, it's going down hill for you.
I recommend starting by working on the bug list. It gives you something to work on constructively and it also makes you look through all the code to track the problem.
Part of the issue is that there is the assumption you know the passwords. There's no reasonable way to prove you don't, so if your asshole of a roommate changed it, the government can hold you indefinitely under the assumption you do.
A physical key you either have or don't.
You need only look to Martha Stuart's conviction for lying to prosecutors to see that they don't need to convict you of a crime to convict you of lying about not doing it.
Acordingto the GAO, 75â of them are filed inappropriate. But according to the FBI it's OK because they only use them when they NEED to - like when walking to the FAX machine would be too much effort.
At least we know why the FSM version of history doesn't match science - he stretches forth his noodly appendage & screws with the results just to keep us on our toes.
I disagree, I haven't seen a patent in the last 10 years that isn't a pile of steaming crap wrapped up in leaglease.
Even when the idea is worth the patent, by the time the lawyers get through with it, it's entirely worthless to actually try and duplicate it. General and vague references that paint a broad picture of the problem supposedly solved and hints of how to do it.
that the people who can't be trusted with cellphones because they sext pictures of their junk to everyone in the contact list also can't be trusted with surveilance powers unfettered by a judges discretion?
Lot has always been my hero. The man can get so drunk he doesn't recognize his own daughters & he can still get it up. That people, is truely worthy of respect.
Funny, when I did a normal early disconnect, they charged me for the early termination 3 months in a row and then terminated my service with a 4th early termination fee for not paying the other termination fees.
I was told to straighten it out, I would have to pay the whole thing then file a complaint to get the extra back. They still call me every couple of years looking for their money.
Small claims court. Claim the value of the infringment as less than $3K & pay the $138 for the court date & another $100 or so to have it served. They won't show up in court & you ask the judge for the money & an injunction by YouTube. Mail the injunction to YouTube & the video comes down.
The money isn't going to be worthwhile to go after, but that's not really what you're after anyway.
Theories are taught all the time in science. Evolution and Intelligent Design are both theories. There is no reason why both cannot be taught in public school.
Have you read the ID 'theory' - "Life is too complex to have developed by itself, therefore some being created it." That's it. There isn't any evidence supporting it. So to say that ID is a theory in the scientific sense is incorrect - at best it is a preliminary hypothosis based on speculation and contrary to existing evidence.
Resources, employees are resources not assets. It's right there in the title "Human Resources". Employees are simply there to be used like any other raw material.
An asset would accrue value & have to be maintained, resources not so much.
They already have the engineering report. They don't like the results. It's inconvenient for the developers to have the water rise 1M, so they are trying to prohibit people from planning for it.
This way, developers can make piles of cash today and soak the public for FEMA flood insurance payouts later. Oh it won't hurt that they might get to build the replacement houses too.
They also took away the right for the emergency services workers to be trained and know what they were dealing with in the event of a fire or other situation potentially involving weapons grade radioisotopes.
Um, not really. I knew it was there. Just about anyone who went to college in the area knew it was there - if you were a hard science major. What they didn't do was advertise it. They got regulators to approve it & they put it in - no publicity & no big shouting matches over it.
Theoretically it already has, it's paid the fine in lost customers due to their service being so crappy. I can't imagine that you could pull something like this off without massively degrading the hijacked service.
His technique used a packet sniffer & changed the MAC addresses on the modems. That creates the same havoc on the network as 2 devices with the same IP address. So you would have a situation with huge blocks of packet loss while one modem was getting the data for both modems, until the ARP table updated & the other modem got all the data. So, it would probably be pretty miserable for both the person paying for the service, and the person impersonating them.

The question that really needs answered is "can it break the 1 mile barrier for pumpkin chunkin?"
Hmm, the origins of Weasle Stomping Day?

You lie, usually they are either stolen from evidence or sold at auction long before the endless speaks are exhausted.
Just to point out - Apple sued first & these claims were part of the counter suit.
