On a keypad that is used to enter only a single combination, wear patterns can leak information. That's one advantage the ATM's keypad has over one on your personal card.
An advantage of entering the PIN on the card's keypad, on the other hand, is that it cannot be gleaned by a fake ATM machine.
To the contrary: After six years, there is a good chance that what you are patenting has become so painfully obvious and commonplace that every software uses it. You just need to file claims against every software company in existence and then rake in the money.
It's more like using more ridiculous DRM shit trying to force technology to conform to the worst traits of the brick-and-mortar library.
What is the POINT of having a waiting list for an electronic book? Is the value of the imaginary property magically diminished because people can read it concurrently?
Concurrent licensing makes at least a (very) marginal kind of sense with software, which is expected to be in use almost constantly. With books that are read once and then returned, you're just inconveniencing your customers because you can.
Is it honestly so hard to tell that drawing a cartoon and burning a book are not just not the same thing, but opposites?
To burn a book is to engage in censorship, even symbolically. This is not tolerable, and to hinder it is not a violation of free speech; it is the assertion of free speech. It's not about holy books or sacrilege. If he were burning the Origin of Species, Terry Jones would be just as much of an asshole.
The guy's a nutcase. He's been a nutcase for years.
PTSD doesn't care about sides. If a soldier is affected by trauma, then any game reenactment presents a psychological risk to them, regardless of whether they are "good" or "bad" guys.
It is disappointing and wrong of the industry to take the cowardly path and sacrifice Wikileaks - the guys who both provide them with documents and publish the stuff they're too scared to - to get protection for themselves that is therefore defanged and without meaning.
However, if Wikileaks were dependent on US legislation for their safety, they would be fucked anyway. Thankfully, they are internationally well-founded and able to enjoy the much more beneficial legal environments of several other countries.
Are they going to auction off their rights to Linux? Because those might well turn out to be a goldmine if someone decided to sue some Linux vendors with them.

That sentence sounds like...
*drumroll*
gullshit.
Does that mean the connection is advertised to be faster than shouting TCP data out loud from the rooftops?
Because they're probably in the clear in that case.
I want lasers on these things!
You mean cold fusion; fusion itself is quite feasible (though not yet able to be harnessed safely).
Ouch. Looks like they tried OpenBSD instead of Linux, and got attacked by sharks.
Launch code "hunter2" accepted. Please enter target.

Other polls show that more than 95% of US children are opposed to the ban. :P
I have heard rumors that not only is Linus secretly Muslim, he is also secretly black.
That's less than the number of Americans who believe Obama is the Anti-Christ, which is by definition a subset of the segment of religious nutcases.
Reportedly, he also took off a shoe and banged it on a table.
(Or maybe there was something about a chair. :P )

If by "Socializing" you mean "investing time into building up a virtual farm/mafia/village/whatever". :P

There are some real gems in there about semantic tagging.
Yes, "cameldick" is indeed a sports organization.

This estimate change means climate change has once again been proven wrong! Right? Right?
(Hint: No.)
From credit card scammers, or from Wikileaks?
It's his fucking birthday.

I'm betting Wikileaks would do it for free!

(I'll be here all week!)
I can't be the only one reading the name Apertus and humming that tune, right?
