Don't think a jury can validate or invalidate a patent. Their job was to see if there was infringement.

Why would a 14 year old be taught C++ and low level networking? Familiarizing them with a high level scripting language (like python say) will not do? Will you teach surgery to a 14 year old? Will you teach them to design and construct a bu

Patent system is meant as an incentive for innovators. There is a need to clearly define and enforce: 1. What is patentable 2. What is the level of protection that a patent holder gets 3. What are the terms and obligations regarding patent

Google is clearly not too happy about Samsung cornering the Android Market. Samsung can wrest the control any time and popularize their version of Android leaving the rest of the android crowd in dust. Samsung makes huge profits on Android

Perhaps you may find it gross to understand why US has been able to spend well beyond its means - Does dollar denominated trade ring a bell?

Has US ever been in an either or situation? Defence budget in 2010 is $680B, and cost of a moon landing is $18B in 2010 dollars. Given that both are deficit funded, and dollar can be printed at will, is this convincing?

Why is it that nobody could land on moon after 1972? After all cold war was still on. All moon landings happened between 1969-72. It is really unbelievable that US would forego such an advanced technology that nobody else had. There are man

Had been using mysql for 8 years. The product has improved over the years, and is still very simple to use. It would take a compelling reason for me to move to Postgresql. And right now, I don't see any. I want shit done!

To be a programmer is non-trivial and takes skills and learning. To understand the basics of web development is not. There are too many half cooked coders out there without necessary skill or education to properly engineer complex solutions
