Why are there still those who think any advocate of OOP is an advocate of "OOP or Nothing! All things are Objects! All things are an instantiation of a class! All things must derive from a root class! etc."? OOP is a tool. And ge

I don't think you'd run an entire OS like this. But some processes might not have been ported to ARM and those need an emulation layer. Think Apple's Rosetta for running PowerPC binaries on Intel processors to make the switch

You can claim copyright on your rendition (all black versus the original color; or the text creating the logo in CSS or SVG) of the trademark in question. Whether that would hold up in court is another matter entirely. That said, the site o

"Obvious" to whom? There's been a lawsuit filed, that doesn't mean it's "obvious." We are certainly aware of PayPal's history as slimy (and my inclination is to side with the plaintiff in this suit),

I was called for jury selection. I'd forgotten about the summons and failed to show up the first two days, so I called the clerk who said that as long as I showed up on the third day, I wouldn't suffer any consequences. They had m

I have a feeling this is How Things Work in societies. Similar theories exist about time traveling to the past to kill Hitler: the nationalist population of Germany will then elect the same personality in a different person and we'll s

Had there been employees, taxes would also have been collected from them. Replacing employees with robots reduces tax revenue. Sure, additional profits going to the owners make for more tax paid by those owners, but not enough to offset the

My granddaughter (1y 8m) uses flossers without instruction. Clearly, there is innate tooth hygiene in humans. No, what's happening is she's mimicking the adults in the house. She's observing and repeating. She's done the

That seems a bit pedantic. If you're taxing "hammers," you're taxing the owner of the hammer, either at the point of sale, or perhaps as a tax on capital equipment. So, if you're taxing "robots," you have

"Royalty-free" doesn't mean they can just do what they want. It means they're not going to pay you for the things listed in the license (to which you agreed by hosting on their site.) It doesn't even say "...pe

Notice it says nothing of re-licensing to others. These terms seem to facilitate DeviantArt's (and presumably its owner(s)) ability to show your work to the world on their site. But does not facilitate their sub-licensing your work to

I suspect they believe they're fighting against a potential chilling of speech. Similar to how constant surveillance affects people's words and behavior. But to me it seems Amazon has more of a business problem than a legal one: i

This author has also forgotten about the annotations that Apple has provided to make interoperability between Swift and Objective-C quite a bit easier. See "Swift API Design Guidelines" from WWDC 2016. Moving on ... "If Apple

Callbacks exist in C. But inline functions (where a parameter to another function would be placed), don't. Actually, we don't even have closures in standard C (there is a non-standard extension provided by Apple that maybe you can

But it hasn't. Until they sell. They didn't need to make the investment to get those licensing fees.

With respect to accounting, you don't recoup your investment (where you purchased part of a company) by collecting licensing fees (which you'd have received anyway) from the same company.

I'm not sure you've addressed the concern. Sure, reverse-engineering an interface is legal. However, use of these APIs by third-party, non-vetted apps or libraries potentially incurs other legal risks. I suppose you've somewh

What's that search result for a sealed arrest record? "No records" or "sealed"? Because if it's "sealed", guess who's losing their job...
