Would this also apply to patent trolls. I mean, if they haven't been producing anything, and don't have any real plans to produce something with a given patent, can they still show harm?
Just as a little factoid: The game Red Dead Redemption 2 for the PC clocks in at 112 GB, and is only available via download. The first patch received was another 9GB.
This month I also redownloaded World of Warcraft at ~60GB, and Fortnite I think is around 50GB.
And if I actually download my entire Steam library I would need about 2TB.
I wonder if the phrase "live long and prosper", being just 4 words, is either copyrighted or or trademarked. And if so, whether someone is now going to sue the judge.
John Smith absolutely could end of on the list. There was a T. Kennedy on one of the many, many lists, and Senator Kennedy was affected for several months before his friend Tom Ridge (Director of Homeland Security) straightened it out.
And let's not forget that the girl is probably guilty of copyright infringement because she forwarded on the picture without the photographers permission.
Let's not forge that the plates do not in fact identify the driver. They identify the car - and through a search of government records, the owner. Upon close inspection, they also identify whether someone has paid the registration (i.e. usage fee).
In IT terms that might be analogous to the MAC address on the network card in the computer or other device.
There is a big difference between voluntarily giving Google or Facebook data, and the government (any government) just taking it. If you don't like Google, there are lots of alternatives. If you don't like Facebook, don't use it.
I disagree with the sentiment of this post. Your college degree only gets you the first entry-level job. After that, it is your performance that matters.
You don't get to 'practice your surgical skills' until you have a done a pretty extensive internship, which includes a lot of supervised hands-on work. Same with building a bridge or a dam.
While I don't condone cheating, I also don't think that your school performance means anything once you are past that entry-level job. I do a lot on mid- and senior-level hiring and your college performance (and even degree) means almost nothing to me.
"They also pretend to have invented the mouse, the GUI and several other things."
I don't them ever claiming that. Xerox PARC was well known and I think Steve Jobs actually gloated about how he took those ideas and made them more useful.
No publicity is bad
OTOH, if I hadn't read that article in Kotaku a week ago, I would not have bought the game. Apocalypse in an Ikea store sounded interesting to me.
Trump democracy
How can you use words like "Trump Democracy" with a straight face?
Patents also

Too US centric
Should we not add non-US sites to this? Alibaba, Kremlin.ru, Sueddeutsche Zeitung,

Nerd harder
In his offices, Harder keeps charts mapping the differences in libel and privacy laws throughout the country
Sounds like a libel nerd. He needs to nerd harder...
More secure elsewhere
I do think they made every other election more secure because now more of the back hats will concentrate on Pittsburgh.
Live Long and Prosper
I wonder if the phrase "live long and prosper", being just 4 words, is either copyrighted or or trademarked. And if so, whether someone is now going to sue the judge.
That, I think, would be funny.
Court Order
"we're going to seek a court order from Apple"
Is there an app for that?

For good guys only
I think Silicon Valley should create a manual that only the "good guys" can use. With the trillions spent on technology, surely they can do that.

"Does the report mention Windows 3.11?"
Probably not, but some of those 6000 applications are 16-bit, and not supported by Windows 7.

You can't just leave your home country.
Re: 'Not our problem, now pick up that can'
It would only 'be a problem' if someone posted all the browsing history of some politician's kids. Then you might actually see some action.
Right now it is a problem that happens to other people, and nothing for them to really pay attention to.

Bravo. 'nuff said.
No, they didn't
