  BBC Porn

  on UK Gov't Considering Requiring A 'Porn License' If You Want To Look At Porn Online

  A "Porn License"? Does that mean the BBC will start making porn? That's the point of the TV license in the UK. Debbie Does the Doctor? I could see it.

  Stallman

  on NY Times Discovers The Coming Legal Battle Over 3D Printing

  I was at a Richard Stallman (of GNU and FSF fame) talk and someone asked him about possible legal issues with 3D printing technology. He completely blew off the question as not being relevant any time soon. I was disappointed to see his lack of vision into the very near future.

  on Email Is 40 Years Old

  I use a tachyons modem. I get all my packages before I order them.

  
  
  My neutrino modem was supposed to do that too but it looks like it was just hype.

  on NY State Senators Say We've Got Too Much Free Speech; Introduce Bill To Fix That

  I am sure that most here never had our back, so why should we have any of your backs?

  
  
  That is currently my favorite reason that people give for not caring about free speech. I hear it a lot. It's "sour grapes" for contrarians.

  Re: Movies

  on Samsung Cites 2001: A Space Odyssey As Prior Art For Tablet Design

  
  So does this mean if anyone ever does invent an instantaneous transportation device, they can't patent it because it was in Star Trek first?
  

  
  
  No... but it does mean it'll be hard for them to sue someone for also making a device that looks just like the teleporter from Star Trek.

  on Google Spends $12.5 Billion To Buy Motorola Mobility... And Its Patents

  It could be viewed as Google showing its hardware vendors that it has some skin in the game. I'm sure Google/Motorola will be a prime target for patent attacks. Thus Google will be in the trenches fighting patent attacks shoulder-to-shoulder with its vendors.

  what about other JVM languages?

  on Oracle Deletes Jonathan Schwartz's Old Blog; Which Excitedly Celebrated Google's Use Of Java In Android

  Where does this leave Scala or Clojure and other languages that target the JVM? Are they "safe" to use?

  on Sarcasm Wars: Proprietary SarcMark Gets Some Sarcastic Open Competition

  You don't even have to go as far as Ethiopia to get an upside down exclamation point. Spanish uses one.
