Sounds really innovative. Laws should exist that specifically make this type of action a crime. Until then, I pray enough hotels fight the suits in principle rather than just paying off these douchebags.

I didn't even know that tab existed.

Yep, yep, global warming is all a conspiracy put forth by the indoor ski resort companies.

No, that's just certain corporate interests who don't want to play fairly.

It's sad to see a monument of American engineering close down, but science does work better as an international effort. So while the patriot in me wants the big accelerators to stay in this country, the scientist in me realizes that if it's more practical in France and Switzerland, it should be...

What?

It's funny how after years of console controllers designed specifically for gaming, no controller comes close to matching the natural feel of a keyboard and mouse - devices many decades old that were designed before video games existed.

The site owner should sue the payment provider for handing over his information without legal orders.

Oh IDK, maybe it takes more than a month for something to go from trials in mice to mass availability for humans. :rolleyes: And now we've got a gay hater in the thread too. You people are in a very sad state of consciousness. I will say it again, because it isn't being said enough: glad...

What are you talking about? Last I checked the common cold does not kill you, and there is no treatment available for it. A flu vaccine costs $20 / year. The absolute disrespect shown toward medical science in this thread is astounding. "Curing AIDS is a bad idea as people will have more...

I'm interested in what this could do for electric car technology. Specs to consider are not just energy density but power density and maximum charging rate as well. If it holds eight times the charge of existing LiPo batteries, it will only take about sixty-four hours to charge from a standard...

It's horrible how many posters in this thread don't agree.

The state government have *.us domains

With 15,000,000 arrests made every year in the US on average, or one every two seconds, I am sure more than "several" instances occur in which the innocent until proven guilty standard is not followed. On such a large scale, the only justice system that never convicts an innocent never convicts...

It's always nice when a legislature admits they made a mistake and fixes it.

You guys are forgetting something. He's innocent until proven guilty. If both sides have nothing, he should be acquitted. Otherwise I could put you in jail just by telling a lie if I happen to look more trustworthy than you.

Yes they are a great company. My grandmother has a problem with her TV from them, and although I doubt she was able to give much more detail than "it won't turn on," they sent a tech over right away and he fixed the problem.

Sleep. It uses virtually no power, and in Windows 7 the computer will still wake itself up at night to do maintenance and updates if you want. Though I'll be honest, I don't always remember to do this.

To clarify I am NOT making that up.

MSN summary headline today: Dow drops, Facebook changes, and more...

The patent is on a specific instruction set for doing so, which I think is perfectly reasonable to patent. At the same time, I wish companies would just license their technologies to one another rather than playing this ridiculous game of patent, hold, steal, sue.

This is a good law.

The Republican senator is right, though. By manually altering its search algorithm Google can effectively control competition on the Internet. Someone needs to make clear that they cannot abuse that power.

Well, I can see how Google favoring itself in its search results is an antitrust concern. Especially if they imply that the search results are unbiased. I agree this particular issue isn't a big deal, though. Hopefully this doesn't go beyond a committee grilling.

Interesting question: if he called Sony and they refused to help him solve the problem, what is he legally obligated to do with the seven (now twelve) computers at that point? I know it is against the law in most states to send someone merchandise and say, "if you don't send this back we'll go...

Why do such evil people exist? If that happened to me I would sue the girl for framing me. I'd also report it to the police as soon as possible. Hopefully upon seeing two conflicting reports of sexual assault their immediate response would not be, "arrest the man; he's obviously the one lying."

Lol @ the monitor for $400. That's more than an entire computer package today. And the monitor would be larger, and flat.

They still have a chance. The district court now must decide what to do. It could follow the circuit court's recommendation and use remittitur, or it could simply enter the same constitutional ruling again.

Then another big company, such as Amazon, will point out the prior art known as a "shopping cart" and the patent will not be granted.

It's quite interesting how MS is trying to merge the mobile and desktop models. I'm not really sure how it's going to work out.

That doesn't sound bad.

Please explain how it does this. No it's not. The standards for what constitutes a patent have not changed. In fact this bill opens up more avenues for challenging the validity of patents.

Do you know what would happen if our Sun were instantly replaced with a black hole of equivalent mass? Nothing. (Well, except we would lose our main source of light and heat.) Contrary to popular belief, a black hole's gravity is no stronger than that of any other object. They just have a...

Little inventor invents something and files for a patent. Big corporation sues, claims "we already invented that." Little inventor cannot afford costly court battle to prove that he was the original inventor, and/or did not keep documentation proving this fact. Big corporation gets patent...

If I drive on a public street, write down the list of SSIDs visible to my laptop, then write down my location, I have not violated anyone's privacy.

A discussion about the LHC becomes a debate about religion due to a whimsical term that scientists use to informally refer to an extension of the standard model. Wow.

I don't know; the company chose to pay him this money. Obviously he deserved it in their opinion. Who are you to say otherwise? Now, if you think he should pay more taxes on the money than he will, I might agree with you there. But bitching about individual CEO pay is about as useful as...

That's not their agenda. Their agenda is to make money by stealing identities, breaking into bank accounts, sending spam, selling the data...etc. Script kiddies like Anonymous who hack big companies just because they can are harmless compared to truly malicious hackers, who steal data so they...
