I can't believe how intolerant and divisive Rust is with "if-then" logic! What about the millions of people who are indecisive, why not "if-maybe" structures?
No, we don't understand either unit. Unless it's in the Universal Slashdot Units of Libraries of Congress, Olympic Swimming Pools, or Football fields - not a clue about the size.
Profits down, shipments below their 5K/week goal they "hit" in Q3, sales stagnating - it's what you do when you are running out of cash and have more capacity than sales. You cut workers.
Nah, just like with my Note 8 (headphone jack, SD card slot), Samsung is getting lazy and leaving those features in whilst designing new phones. Sometimes I am so embarrassed to be seen with a phone without any courage...
Unless you're an FBI agent, and are pushing to get a FISA Court warrant on fake and fraudulent grounds. Then you're exempt from all those perjury laws...
No, here they're calling for the Government to regulate on-line polls about popularity of private citizens before they're ever in politics. This poll was in 2014 - well before President Trump announced. Next we'll find out that Tim Cook asked Apple employees to "vote in online polls" for which company is the best to work for. The horror - the horror!
Huh? Then why the constant drumbeat of "FRAND!!!!" from your Apple shills? if it's fair (others pay it), reasonable (in line with other licensing - less than Apple's own licenses, actually), and non-discriminatory (all pay the same), what's the problem? Seriously, what is your issue here? As far as admitting I'm paid - where? Because I believe in IP rights and that when a company is fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory that there isn't an issue? If I don't worship at the altar of Apple I'm paid by others?
Please show a definition of GPS transponder that requires use of GPS frequencies or GPS data format for the data returned. Absent that, the definition of transponder as I provided (and as typically used for GPS transponders, per Wikipedia and a 3rd party seller) seems to be a lot more rigorous than your "nuh uh".
It meets the definition of a transponder. You can buy actual hardware called a GPS transponder. They exist, they are real. AIS may be another name for it; ALS is the "scientific name" for Lou Gehrig's disease - but that does not mean that Lou Gehrig's disease doesn't exist.
Yes - and that ruling has nothing to do with the costs that Apple pays relative to others. Qualcomm has to give their patents to others - but that says NOTHING about the cost to license in the first place. You want to ignore that fact, don't you...
a radio or radar set that upon receiving a designated signal emits a radio signal of its own and that is used especially for the detection, identification, and location of objects and in satellites for relaying communications signals
Well, what do you know! You send a signal to the GPS transponder I linked, and it will send back its own signal. That is the very definition of a transponder. You ping it - it gives back data. In this case, it gives back GPS data related to the position not of the requester, but of the GPS transponder.
You can definitely send GPS data - it's done all the time. By GPS transponders. These things do exist. It's solid nomenclature, to the point it's actually used in the trade as I linked.
I was involved in design of FDR/CVR systems a while ago, and I cannot recall any subsystem that could NOT be shut down. Our recorders (Sundstrand Data Control units) were to check for "zero data" and based upon other sensors assert a flag indicating whether the input died OR the pilot shut it off. This configuration was altered for each airframe, as many systems were cross-linked and you could usually figure out if a system was shut off or you had a malfunction (which would bring down other systems). I can't recall of any system that was exempted - because the FAA wanted pilots to be able to shut down ANY electrical device in case of shorts or fire.
Having a case filed in FTC does not mean the charges are good; there is still due process in the world (or there used to be). I'll wait until there is a decision. Until then - it's really just Apple bitching about the terms, the same terms everyone else pays. And terms that are LESS onerous than Apple's own terms to use their IP.
False. CONSUMERS of products from those 100 companies are responsible for 71% of carbon emissions. ExxonMobil only sell gas to people who want it; if no one bought, they would quickly fold and go out of business. This is the ultimate pass-the-buck; it's not the companies, it's the consumers. But that tends to strike too close to home, so easier to blame some faceless corporation...
The driest place on Earth is not in the Middle East, it is right in the middle of the Andes mountains. Where it tends to be quite cold. The Middle East is driest around Riyadh, which actually gets more rain than Las Vegas.
I don't buy Apple products - you are correct. However, I design plenty of audio products for companies that do Apple-based products. Headphones, amplifiers, microphones, etc. And of course, you've not addressed my statements - Apple sells you a chip AND makes you pay a license fee. AND requires you to use an approved Apple CM. Facts don't penetrate the Reality Distortion Field very well, do they?
Apple does literally the same thing. You have to buy an MFi chip from Apple. You have to buy a Lightning connector from Apple (or one of their licensed sources who pay Apple for the right to make the connector). And then you have to pay an additional license ($4+) to Apple to use the MFi and Lightning connectors. And you are supposed to only get the product made at an Apple-approved (read: expensive and big MOQs) contract manufacturer (you cannot build on your own, unless you go through the process of becoming an Apple certified factory). It's even worse than Qualcomm; QC hits you for the license only, and hits the chip vendor with a license as well. Apple does both AND restricts where you can get your product made.

Messenger matters, not the message. Got it! So very "tolerant" of you.
Nope. The FBI knew "there were intelligence community concerns about the reliability of the main evidence", and FISA Court wiretapping on US citizens requires vetted evidence.
Lying to the court is still a felony.
Unless you're an FBI agent, and are pushing to get a FISA Court warrant on fake and fraudulent grounds. Then you're exempt from all those perjury laws...

It's bad enough trying to drive on icy roads, now we have to drive on levitating ice over roads!
Please learn basic English. A transponder:
a radio or radar set that upon receiving a designated signal emits a radio signal of its own and that is used especially for the detection, identification, and location of objects and in satellites for relaying communications signals

Yes, yes there are GPS transponders. You query the transponder for its location, and it reports back its GPS location. You can buy such a device right now.

If a 1 deg F change wipes out the insects - what happened during the heat wave of the 1930s? Or the Medieval Warm Period?
