Still not correct.
The use of logos, patents etc. is the benefit that Palm gets by agreeing to behavioural restrictions. You don't get to pick which parts of a contract you comply with.
You are making a legal representation that would appear to be unfounded.
You might want to note that hardware and software are not the same thing.
Oh, if Palm were to go such a route the they would still be in breach of contract with the USB-IF and there by using the patents illegally.
There would be patents involved too. In a worst case a court could order all the Palm hardware to be recalled and withdrawn from sale. yOu can't decide to live up to half an agreement. In order to use the USB patents Palm agreed to use only its own vendor ID. If it breaks that agreement then it loses the patent rights too.
However, current mobile phones almost all have voice control and speakers. If it is safe to use a phone at all while driving (and current research suggests it isn't) I cannot see how having my phone in my shirt pocket and making a call without touching it differs from having a cradle for it.
I just replaced just such a phone with an iPhone at ten times the prices. Yes, the iPhone signal/reception is weak. Only borderline acceptable. Thing is the old cheapie had lousy software. But the other features of the iPhone are too useful to me. I wouldn't want to go back.
Huh? "things just work" is apple's motto. And Microsoft has never, ever got within a light year of"things just work".
Doubly... "all browsers do". No, they don't. I have run mozilla for years on FreeBSD and Darwin. I also use Safari quite a bit. And no, browsers don't crash at the drop of a hat.
If these are your experiences then you appear to be living and working in a toxic atmosphere. Change the environment.
You say 62 sounds about right to balance the acceleration phase but you have not taken into account the short distance travelled. Going from 0 to 62 and then slowing down to 45 in 30 seconds is going to take a lot more distance travelled than a little over a third of a mile. It would certainly take some beast of a car - if it is possible at all.
Yep. Better do just that.
We already have enough problems, heating up the bottom of the oceans as well as the top will really screw things up. Stuff up conveyor currents and half the world dies.
was to use something I learnt while lecturing. People like to do things. Teach them 'sh' and the unix utilities. This allows them do do things. People learn by doing and love doing simple surprisingly powerful tricks.
If I am paid to do open source of course, the payer gets to decide.
If you are getting paid to do it, it is not open source. The person who is paying you gets to decide (as you say) wether or not it will become open source. Provided your contract deals with code ownership.
What I am trying to say (badly) is that if you are paid to write and retain no rights then it is not open source until someone else with the rights makes it so.
No. It is not a free speech issue.
He is being restrained while it is being decided wether it is free speech or slander.
If it is free speech he can bring up or re-edit his site when the decision is made.

It is not the retina that sees but the visual cortex. So I wouldn't laugh too hard.
That is why this should not be patentable. It has already been in use for a century or more.
Well. If I were the developer I would have the pirated versions start large downloads from someplace so that it would wind up cheaper to buy the app.
I'm recalling articles from when it was formed. Long, long ago. I suggest you go to the USB-IF site and peruse their documentation.

No. The USB-IF allows use of patents as part of the contract. Violate the contract an you violate the patents. End of Palm if USB-IF decides so.

No more legal than faking a MS Internet Explorer User agent string, to visit a website that displays broken pages to certain browsers.
Not correct. Palm is violating the license they signed wrt USB.

If the Atlantic Conveyor fails, instant ice age in europe. Compare the latitude of the major european cities with the same latitudes in the US.

Robert Heinlein is that you?
Umm... Brocca's area is ONLY on one side of the brain.
I'm the same. My phone ear is my left ear but I am right handed.
It would be legally considered torture. Deliberate and repeated humiliation.
Nein?

Until proven true, yes. Which is why he was ordered to take it down. Once proven true he is at liberty to put it back up.
