  Finally I understand ...

  Now I know why there has been a big push to get the World to go to 'life plus 70 years' ... because it takes that long to find what copyrights have been licensed whilst the underlying copyright doesn't need to be registered.

  Only Google understands 'search'

  Perhaps if Oracle had done a Google search of the documents, that they were sent, they would have found the needle!

• On the post: Why The New CISA Is So Bad For Privacy

  

  127.0.0.1 ( profile ), 19 Dec, 2015 @ 01:19pm

  The solution ...

  It appears that OmniCISA has cast a net over the internet to catch fish swimming down the tubes from chip to chip.
  
  It passed without the hype of a regular Bill and the real bill will be borne by the 99% whose privacy is surrendered in order, apparently, to enable 3 letter agencies to, once and for all, prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that all "cyber-attacks" are planned using snail mail, post office boxes, and invisible ink.
  
  SO, the next step is to shut down all mail, courier, carrier and package services -- and to hell with the consequences and/or the cost to the economy.
  
  The final step is to shut down the internet, because then there can be no cybercrime.
  
  Yeah, that should do it!
  
  Mind you, if all electricity generation were to be shut down, then no-one could pump fuel to power their cars with 12 volt power supplies, that could be used to charge their laptops and smartphones.
  
  Yeah, as a result, the USA staggers to a halt and the terrorists and cybercriminals will have won and the cyberwar will be finally over.

  typographer patent

  Oh that Obama had to sign each and every patent that the USPTO has issued during his terms of office. That would surely keep all POTUSs out of mischief, or severely restrict the number of patents issued.

  Re: Re:

  Finally somebody here seems to know, and state, the truth about the roots of Android. I would only add that the genesis of Java was not Sun developers but rather a huge amount of contributions to various committees that decided if the code, the APIs and/or the classes submitted could be 'officially' accepted.

  ICTH

  Anagrammatically speaking, I just have to scratch an ITCH.
  
  If it is warrant-less (judicially) that would be WITCH. Are these devices attached to broomsticks?

  But, but, but ...

  This was the least untruthful answer they could give.
  
  There is no Congressional Oversight.
  
  James Clapper already has a future with Comcast, since he has already proven extremely competent in 'creativity and innovation' - in the use of the english language.
  
  Who can say 'Spin Doctors'?
