While this has absolutely nothing to do with audiophile bullshit, bit corner sharpness is a thing (it's not called that though) in high-speed digital signalling. Basically, each conductor pair has a certain degree of capacitance so mak

Option 2 is unworkable because you just end up with company A providing access with no extras but preferential service for company B as a "valued partner" and excluding all of company B's competitors.

As a matter of fact, this is done (with user consent) by Sofort.com to authorize immediate payments. MITM as a service!

Yes, looks like this just started today, so it's reasonable.

The inability to use string manipulation functions on bytestrings without converting them to unicode and back for each operation.

I don't mind the print statement/function thing but I am bothered by the pain when dealing with byte strings. I use Python to talk to hardware that doesn't speak unicode, the contortions I have to go through to get byte strin

It is not a contractual issue when Elsevier attacks the INSTITUTIONS that they have no contract with, for hosting the papers that the authors are explicitly allowed to host on their personal websites (which happen to be hosted by the univer

by Kliment 13y ago
The contract states that there is no transfer of copyright, yet the assholes attempt to enforce copyright against the authors, while acting, effectively, as their agents. See the problem?

I'd REALLY love to see a court decide on whether adding their logo and running it through a script is a transformation substantial enough to warrant copyright as a separate work.
945.
by Kliment 13y ago
That's bullshit though. The authors retain copyright over their work, and have always had the right to distribute their papers on their personal websites. It's part of the deal. Now the assholes are changing the deal after the fac

The best explanation I've seen was in series 3, episode 3 of Jame May's Man Lab, where they repeatedly iterated the problem and showed that when repeated enough times, the frequency of winning/losing tends to a different valu

Sure, and those who refuse get replaced by new ones who won't. Doesn't take long to "fix" that "problem".

I believe I had a legitimate complaint about the 3doodler back then: the assholes were trying to patent it even though publically documented and dated prior art from years before they claimed to have started working on it existed. Said prio

The problem with that is it forces you to reject good commits by people who want more than you think the commit is worth.

Yes but a megadrive did not fit in your pocket, and the game gear, while backpackable, had awful battery life. The smartphone is successful running game gear level games because it will do so all day, and has a setup time of four seconds fr

This is only a valid strategy until you have enough money/exposure. Then you get targeted by asshead extortionists and the law is on their side. After the first lawsuit, you will never "never once worry" again.

This is already the case. While with low fees you can get a patent issued as a smaller institution, in practice only institutions with in-house legal teams can afford to defend them. Those include, unsurprisingly, patent trolls and megacorp

Just a random offer, I don't mean to hijack the thread - I do electronics and robotics design for a living. I will happily help anyone who has a need like this for cost of materials or less, the result will be open source hardware. If
