The Supreme Court ruling was actually in favor of Samsung, and it was 8-0.
Yes, the Supreme Court ruling validated his allegations - Samsung violated Aplpe's design patents. Stop pretending.
Did the ruling say anything at all about whether or not Samsung's phones were infringing? I haven't read the ruling, but typically, the Supreme Court rules only on exactly what the appellant asks them to rule on. If Samsung only appealed how damages were determined, then that's all that the Supreme Court would address. They wouldn't say anything about infringement either way.
Prequels? What do you mean? There weren't any prequels. I didn't hear anything about any prequels and I certainly didn't see any prequels. I don't know what you're talking about. No sir. That would be as bad of an idea as Highlander sequels. Which didn't happen and I didn't see either. So yeah, no idea what you're talking about.
You know what movie they should have made a sequel to? The Matrix. It would have been so awesome if they had made a sequel to The Matrix.
That argument has been made numerous times when discussing numerous different problems, including one that most people here are familiar with - technical debt in software and systems development.
The issue is the same in both cases. Greedy assholes know that the consequences won't come until after they're gone, so they don't want to spend any of their money now to prevent needing to spend far more money in the future.
Is this the beginning of the real life Borg, right here at home? I, for one, welcome our new Collective overlords who, being a collective, cannot possibly be as evil as the dictatorial monopolies and tribes we have now.

I know that it's impossible to solve every single crime, but I would like to see as many solved as is reasonable. If adequate protections were in place, I would be okay with such data being treated as any other search, especially, as I said, with regards to needing a warrant.
Of course, I have no illusions that our current system functions the way it would need to before I'd agree to collecting this data. I'm speaking purely hypothetically.
In a well-functioning law enforcement system, the police wouldn't have access to any of the data collected by the cameras and recognition systems until a judge signed a warrant specifying exactly which locations, times, and/or people are relevant to a specific crime.
Tesla seems to take all the fun out of performance. It used to be able oil and gas and the small of exhaust coming out of two dual 2.5" exhaust pipes with a sound that made an indication of how fast it was. Now it's just a really quick golf cart.
Is it, though? Is "mathematic" ever used as a singular noun? The etymology of the -ics suffix is pretty interesting, and it doesn't look like there's really a correct answer.
Solar is still insignificant on a global scale, especially where it concerns transportation fuels. Tesla is only producing a few thousand fully electric cars in a week, while we have a billion cars driving around using fossil fuels. It's going to take more than 'the next few' years to catch up.
So Tesla is manufacturing 150,000 electric vehicles per year. Let's say that that number (total for all manufacturers) doubles every year, which may be difficult, but it isn't impossible to get pretty close to that. 10 years from now, the total number of electric vehicles manufactured would be 150,000,000 per year, which is already easily enough to be replacing over a billion existing vehicles as they reach end of life.
You say that "true feminist" won't mind "chivalry". OK, but what men will get in return for being chivalrous? What men will get in return for protecting and constantly helping women?
If you're only being polite and helping people because you expect something in return, then I would argue that you aren't really being polite or helping people.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say this attitude is a major reason that you've had trouble starting a meaningful relationship.
Then why are you on Slashdot? It doesn't get much more nerdy than discussing the intricacies of audio compression and how the brain processes auditory input.
Yeah, I was intentionally understating it. C'mon, I wouldn't be on Slashdot if I wasn't sarcastic all the time.
I guess you could convert a proton (uud) and an antineutron (u'd'd') to three pions, and that would conserve baryon number. Two of those pions might annihilate and give you even more energy. Of course, at that point, you might as well just get your energy from neutron/antineutron or proton/antiproton annihilation and skip the extra steps.
Absolutely. Neutrons can decay to a Proton and Electron and extra energy. This is fission of a nuclear particle which I think is what you mean by Subnuclear fission.
Not really. Fission implies splitting of parts that are already there. Neutrons aren't made of protons and electrons; that was the hypothesis at one point, but observations of particle spin didn't match the predictions you would get with a neutron that contains a proton and an electron. Neutrons become protons and electrons (and antineutrinos) by converting a down quark to an up quark.
If quarks could exist in free form, or build some stable particles smaller than protons and neutrons, we'd could have a theoretical chance to rob protons or neutrons of a part of their energy.
Minor pedantry: mesons are made up of only two quarks (technically, a quark and an antiquark), and the lightest mesons, the pions, are lighter than protons and neutrons.
Pions are only about 15% of the mass of protons, so based on mass, you could get quite a bit of energy out of the conversion of protons and neutrons. The problem is that you would need to convert a quark to an antiquark, which is a bit tricky.
My question would be WTF this article is doing on slashdot? This is definitely not news for nerds or stuff that matters. While I'm sure there are NBA fans reading slashdot, this is pretty far away from what this site is supposed to be about.
As others have said, it's about the effects of increased access to information. The first analogue I thought of is science. All of us here have learned about how increases in access to information, particularly the speed of dissemination, have triggered major advances in science. This article is just demonstrating that scientific research isn't the only field that shows the same effects.
What kind of person, when confronted with a city where homes are so expensive they cannot afford them, will live on the streets and prefer being homeless over moving to some other area that has housing they can afford?
The three republicans who broke ranks... well, they took an actual risk of alienating a major source of party funding and of facing a future primary challenge, so I'll give them credit.
Kennedy, maybe, but Collins and Murkowski have already recently voted against the rest of the Republican party on issues that were more important to most voters.
Besides the people you mentioned, Nikki Haley, Mia Love, Bachmann, etc.
And yes, I'm sure you honestly think they are all stupid
I don't know who Mia Love is. Michelle Bachmann is disliked because she's an ultra-religious bigot. I'm sure there are plenty of issues on which I disagree with Nikki Haley, but none of them are because she's a woman.
She is a republican woman. She wouldn't have a chance. The liberals would call her stupid, ugly, unqualified, and any other misogynistic name they could come up with.
Do you have any evidence to support this prediction, or is it just blind hatred?
Also, "stupid" and "unqualified" are not misogynistic terms. Carly Fiorina wasn't called unqualified because she's a woman, it was because she campaigned based on her experience as a corporate executive, when her only such experience was nearly destroying HP. Sarah Palin wasn't called stupid because she's a woman, it was because, well, she just isn't very smart; after all, she claimed diplomatic skill based on being able to see Russia from her home.
If course, a charging station at the most extreme is 15x slower than pumping the gas.
Fine. After driving for 4-5 hours, you should take a 30-minute break anyway.
Which again would be fine if every restaurant I might want to stop at for a long haul has an appropriately potent charging station.
How many restaurants have fuel pumps? Installing and maintaining a few car chargers is probably much easier than installing and maintaining fuel pumps, so more restaurants will have car chargers than have fuel pumps. Sounds like electric vehicles have the advantage there.
Slashdot Mirror
It's California, where being a successful corporation is a crime unles you produce Hipster products like Apple.
Funny how Samsung wasn't even a successful phone company until they copied Apple's phones.
That is entirely incorrect. Samsung was making cell phones several years before Apple had released any phones at all. They were the third largest manufacturer in 2005 and 2006, and in 2007 they passed Motorola for second (Nokia was still way ahead of everyone else at the time).
The Supreme Court ruling was actually in favor of Samsung, and it was 8-0.
Yes, the Supreme Court ruling validated his allegations - Samsung violated Aplpe's design patents. Stop pretending.

This is about Trump not liking Jeff Bezos, because the Washington Post has the gall to call people's attention to it when Trump says something stupid.

Mathematics is plural, you know.

Neutrons become protons and electrons (and antineutrinos) by converting a down quark to an up quark.
So after realizing E = mc it's just converting all of it back to energy, yes? It's that simple, right? Fine. But how do you actually do it?
It is simple, you just add antimatter and use the photons produced by the annihilation.
Getting the antimatter might be difficult, but the process is simple.
If quarks could exist in free form, or build some stable particles smaller than protons and neutrons, we'd could have a theoretical chance to rob protons or neutrons of a part of their energy.

Moving costs money, which they don't have.
Do you realize the seeing Russia from her home thing didn't come from her, but from an SNL skit?
True, the "from my home" part was from SNL. Her actual quote was just that you can see Russia from Alaska.
nor should this have been in the FCC's call in the first place.
Why not? Part of the FCC's job is to regulate interstate communication.
