That's being pedantic, honestly. Yes, technically Linux is only the kernel and technically running the Ubuntu run-time on a different kernel isn't running Linux. However, "Linux" is almost always a reference to GNU tools

I doubt it's because they don't care, more like the cost of a concierge service/personal shopper, free airline tickets, etc all end up being MORE than 1% of their credit care bill. And they are probably buying those things ei

If at any point in the process they need to bill you for something, they have to ask for your first and last name because that's exactly what the credit card companies require. So there are use cases. Personally, I don't see why a

That's the same absolutely absurd argument that npm made. Who actually installs a module without actually seeing what it does first?

Famous and "Unique" aren't the same thing. I was responding to the theory that because "Google" is a made-up word, they'll receive extra protections. That's false. That said my example was a bad one, since

by jhall1468 11y ago
You are correct in that my Google example would likely be trademark infringement because Google is a famous mark. Kik is not a famous mark, so for this case the famous/well-known aspect of trademark infringement is entirely moot. And

That's just incorrect. NICE Class 9 is far more extensive than that: "Scientific, nautical, surveying, photographic, cinematographic, optical, weighing, measuring, signalling, checking (supervision), life-saving and teaching appar

That. Is. Not. How. Trademarks. Work. A trademark gives you protection of a mark within a specific industry. "Software" is not a specific industry. They do not get wholesale ownership of the term. And if you blindly install a modu

That is not how trademarks work. Feel free to start the Google Paper Co. Uniqueness is not a merit for trademark infringement. To infringe you have to be a competitor.

What an odd argument. If you were writing a DLL for Windows would you expect the binary executable that's using it to be written in the same language? Do you have an example of how writing something without types is supposed to help

1) Like it or not PHP is still one of the top 5-10 languages used today. 2) The separation of concerns argument is completely invalid. They aren't separate concerns, they are separate languages.

Only one of posts got any attention and it was 7 months ago. I hardly call that "significant attention". Which, by the way, is completely subjective and thus the opposite of "quite clear".

That depends on your definition of manipulation. Most people consider manipulation to be unfair or unscrupulous. Knowing a motto or the name of a brand is hardly either. I also happen to know what "get serious about social" refers

You are making assumptions based on zero evidence. The change is binary, enforcement is over time. You are assuming the change from 48% to 65% (which is also a 17% increase) can be explained sans law, but there's zero evidence that

I'm not sure what you expected? This is akin to going to a retailer and expecting distributor pricing. You went to a PSP when you should have been talking to a bank, the only laughable part is that, somehow, a company with this kind of

Every full-time job is 40 hours, which is the maximum allowed without having to pay overtime. I think it's fair to assume companies will do anything for increased productivity. That has nothing to do with wages.
