Intellectual property law is an extremely dangerous thing, the scope of which i feel is not properly appreciated. What if fire was subject to patent fees, what if the works of Shakespeare were held under an indefinite copyright, what if the

In most (all?) of the cases listed in the graphic, apple is the one that started litigation, and then was countersued, this has nothing to do with apple being a "convenient target with lots of cash", nor are any of these suits "for their de

the MPlayer-ce port works well for me, albeit you cant use video that exceeds 640x480 in resolution without lag problems, but it plays dvd RIPS and XVID encodes just fine.

I just want to underlay a point here that the previous poster may not have made explicit, i can give you 20 attacks, and you can most definitely think of 20 different ways to prevent whatever it is i'm talking about, the point is, you do no

Lets take a hypothetical example, say every CCTV camera in London that is available to the police is tied into facial recognition databases, then those results are stored by the police; They then gain a massive database of the movement of p

No, it is not exactly the same, things have shifted a lot in the last 20 years ago. It used to be "what a police officer happened to see while he was driving down the street in his car", now it is rapidly becoming "what could have a police

Not every country is the USA, many (most?) European countries have no issue with 4g coverage at sane speeds and data caps. If the new iPhone has 4g, the providers will be under that much more pressure to deliver, crippling your product beca

remember that tor is more than a transit network (traffic exiting out exit nodes). Tor's real strength is hidden services (.onion stuff). These services do not require you to "leave" the tor network, thus are much harder to track down, cens
