Well in a roundabout way of thinking, its one of the simplest tests you can do to see if the phone can be accessed over the intertubes. All phones will have a contacts list/address book, so this will be supported by all Android phones.
Of course, when you think about it however, you realize that its more than a little absurd and creepy.
Technically, one could see the various software modules as "works protected etc.". The module is effectively a "key" granting access to the work. By creating this device, you are circumventing a technological measure.
It's a bit of a stretch, but you can probably sell this to a judge.
No I think it was a Norwegian Blue, but I'm not sure we can af-fjord any more references to that sort of thing
If a court did throw out all the evidence, and as a result they had to return all the Sold Bitcoin?
A quick Google reveals Microsoft got 8,500 design patents and a license to 30,000 (!) utility patents
A number of factors could have changed since 2011, apart from the possibility of patents expiring.
Samsung could have had a cross licensing agreement with Nokia, meaning Microsoft was getting paid twice. Also the US IP law has become more hostile to abstract patents, which probably form the bulk of Microsofts patent portfolio. Ironically Microsoft has probably picked up a bunch of Nokia patents, which may be much more useful in a patent slinging fight.
Ummm, what's ERP?
They're that family that had a Gunfight at the OK Corral. There was Wyatt ERP, Virgil ERP and Morgan ERP....
In the UK there is still no private copying exemption from the Digital Economy Act and other related copyright law, despite recommendations to do so.
One would hope that the UK government, having little else to do in its final year of office, would sort this out. Instead, they'd rather get tough on migrants and the causes of migrants....
What did Apache expect when their code was written by Cowboys?
Why aren't aircraft covered in them? 10% is a big difference in the aviation industry.
The claimed 0-60 time for a Tesla S is 4.2 seconds, which compares better or at least favourably with many supercars. The Roadster was even better at 3.7 seconds.
Max speed is electronically limited at around 125/130mph,
Similar the apocryphal Bill Gates quote, I could say that no one would want to go faster, but having experienced 165mph on roads, I know different....
I refer you to the answer I gave earlier
I second that "best money I ever spent" (well there was this night in a Hilton Hotel that came close...) opinion. I was -10.25/-9.75 and spent lots of money on high quality glass lenses and contact lenses, both of which I hated.
Unfortunately my halo effect (in low light conditions) has never disappeared, but that's a minor inconvenience.
I needed some artificial tear solution occasionally for about a year afterward, but compared to the agravation of contact lens solutions and the area of irritated skin on my nose caused by glasses this was a minor inconvenience. I can read and focus on distant objects more than 15 years after the operation.
