A lot of Windows users probably know about OneDrive (https://onedrive.live.com/ https://onedrive.live.com/) since this is a similar service, I totally understand the naming choice here.
- pjc50 8y agoIronically OneDrive used to be SkyDrive until Sky sued them. I guess everyone's switching to numbers because words are all trademarked, apart from the phoneme strings generated by the pharma industry.
- swebs 8y agoThey should follow the smartphone industry and just use arbitrary algebra expressions. I'm enjoying my OnePlus 5T solve when T = 3.
- mikestew 8y agoWhen Porsche was releasing the 911 back in the 60s, Porsche wanted to name it “901”. Except Peugeot had a trademark on three-digit model numbers with a zero in the middle...
- Latteland 8y agohow could you trademark 0s in the middle? All 3 digits one maybe? that would be 9 * 9 = 81 separate trademarks. Seems like it's too comprehensive. 92818181818 0 1. Probably didn't get that, eh!
- mikestew 8y agohow could you trademark 0s in the middle? By talking to the French patent office, circa 1950s, apparently. I don't know what you're on about with the rest, but I'm just parroting what's well-documented, you're welcome to go look it up.
- Latteland 8y agoI figured you had to trademark specific numbers, not a regular expression "[0-9]+ 0 [0-9]+", which is how I'd guess it would work in the US, vs enumerating all the numbers in separate trademarks (patent #1 (100), patent #2 (101), ... (909)).
