I'm think that usage may still be denied, depending on exactly what the application is for. Mojang's application was for basically all computer games. The application indicates that if Mojang was a bit more specific(i.e. for a computer ca

Short version: The USPTO seems to believe that it is too similar to "The Elder Scrolls", and denied the trademark based on the fact that the two would both cover electronic entertainment goods-in other words, both are video games.

I don't think that any of the three are willing to try to integrate billing directly instead of relying on Paypal, Visa, etc. It's a regulatory minefield between all the world governments, and the % that the payment processors take is prob

>What's the proper scenario to use "long" instead of "int"? I've never bothered to use it. It was necessary with 16-bit processors, because ints were 16-bit shorts, and longs were 32-bits. With modern processors and OS', there isn't rea

I agree that it isn't necessarily a smell. It really depends on the scope of the problem. Is this supposed to be a fully-functional addition function, or is this a throwaway helper function that the coder wrote because they were doing that

I haven't had a chance to change my password yet. The website that allowed you to do so had some security issue that forced it to be taken down. Thankfully, I originally used a throwaway password and don't have a valid credit card on that

The article states that the patents cover WCDMA , which is apparently one of the standards used by GSM, and the standard that Apple used with the 3GS( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Mobile_Telecommunicat... ). CDMA is a superset of

This is a serious question, because I honestly don't know the answer. What purpose does node serve in more complex(i.e. non-static page) situations? Should it just be the intermediary between the users and your database process? Heck, sho

All of which were 4:3 ratios. 1366x768 is also 16:9. My point is that it's easier to scale any given UI when you have known pixel ratios. While the actual number of pixels may be different, it's easier to scale a UI from 640x480 to 800x60

There are two things that make it less of an issue with Desktops/Laptops. 1. There aren't really that many native ratios. Realistically, you're looking at 4:3 for CRT's, 5:4 for non-widescreen LCD's, and 16:9 or 16:10 for widescreen LCD's

That's what I thought, too. I don't think I've ever seen anyone say that it's flat out impossible to make something look good on Android, just a bit more difficult than iOS because the Android SDK doesn't have the UI/UX helper methods that

The trademark doesn't prevent you from having in-game objects called "Scrolls". I can only(if Bathesda wins the suit, which I think is unlikely) prevent you from creating a fantasy video game called "Scrolls". Also, MS does have a register

This is true in regards to the C++ spec. An int data type is up to 32-bits. For old 16-bit architectures, an int and void* are both 16 bits. For more modern architectures and compilers(anything on a 32-bit processor or higher), ints are

This is a really good example of an explanation that is correct in the basics, but almost completely incorrect and potentially dangerous when taken more in-depth. Pointers are not ints. First off, pointers are unsigned data types. Also, o
