I thought Swing did an excellent job with native UIs, though it did take some care by the developer.

It's not just the run-on, it's also the pointlessly verbose descriptions using words that aren't used in the industry nor common English

As a patent lawyer, can you explain what that claim means? Why does it seem intentionally confusing?

Autopilot in video games and movies does everything. More people exist that have experience with autopilot in video games and movies than has experience with autopilot in actual aircraft.

What specifically are the issues? In general, I find Ars does a pretty good job with their articles.

Interesting, that pie chart also shows the percentage of global transactions that are bitcoin. What matters is energy-per-transaction.

I've had 6 or so USB disks fail inexplicably. Sounds like the proposal is a heater and a timer that are embedded on the stick. That doesn't sound like high cost. I suspect theres a timer and thermometer already on the sticks, that

Knowing about a solution but not implementing it is pretty darn near close intentionally rendering the product undesirable if not exactly that.

The post says don't use tap water, but what are the alternatives? Brita or Pur filter? Bottled water (that is most likely just tap water itself)? spring water? Distilled water? I suspect the only one without solutes would be distilled,

The splintering is real, but the differences between distros is also real. The pace of updates and the availability of packages is pretty important, as is a large community that you can lean on for support, even if passively by searching fo

I agree they should block this sort of stuff, but don't count on it; When I plug in a Microsoft mouse, a Microsoft IntelliMouse install wizard pops up. In the end, the driver is running executable code which could (I believe) just star

Slim Devices' squeezebox had this feature before Sonos. I implemented it in high school using visual basic. The most non-trivial part is that if you try to synchronize an MP3 or other encoded stream instead of the decoded PCM stream, y

Six times doesn't seem like a lot. I bet I go 3 or 4 times a day at work, though maybe half those times are bowel related.

Yes. What if your auto insurance company went to Ford and struck a deal, then you went to Ford to get a car and they said 'we don't know the price until you submit a claim'; you buy a car and submit a claim. It turns out your

Their official return window may have passed, but that doesn't mean you can't return now that they have changed the terms of the sale.

These are pretty low-quality patents. I'm curious if Google tried to attack the non-obvious requirement. These seem like straight-forward naive UIs.

Are they taking into account the carbon footprint of the enormous yachts the Nestlé executives buy and operate with the profits from water sales in their analysis? What about the pipe fitters union lobbying to require lead pipes decades aft
