This is totally bogus. Sure, it _looks_ like there's some correlation here, but this graph is measuring data thruput and nothing about the changes (if any actual) to the wireless reception _or transmission_ characteristics. We don't know if he has an _interference source_ that's actually his problem, nor do we know what's happening to the _receive quality at the cell tower_ as a result (or non-result) of putting it in the pan. If we can't see the factors like link quality, rssi, retrans %, receiver rssi, power, the effect of reflections and so forth, there's no way to say with any certaintly that "putting it in the pan" actually "improves" 3g or not or under what conditions such a move is likely to have positive benifits. use your head.
This sounds like another one of those dumb show me the docs or it's crap yanks to me
The way damages were calculated is detailed by the document linked (and was upheld by appeal, as it most likely substantially underestimated the real damages).
Considering how few people actually make use of Custom XML in Office, it's hard to see how the real damages are underestimated. If Microsoft had left that feature out, leaving it for i4i to provide as a plug-in, i4i would not have had big sales.
Does it really matter even if only 1 single person used it the fact of the matter is that once again MS went theiving and freeloading hoping not to get caught .
It's just an real shame that they got away so lightly once again it seems the courts are afraid of the MS for some strange reason one of these days sanity and a bit of mental strenght will arrive in the courts and MS will pay up properly that will then make them sit up and take notice , realise that their days of running amok are over
What the hell kind of bullshit is that? Oh, we have someone to choke, we can blah blah blah. What is that, some kind of joke? Really, are you a village idiot or something? I've seen that piece of crap spewed so many times and still I see morons spewing it "oh, I have a contract blah blah, you know, for restitution'. NO ONE CAN GET IT FROM THEM! What world are you living in? SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS IS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, NOT EVEN THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY!!! Its been in their license boiler plate for years! Someone to CHOKE???? Thats just a JOKE!!!
And this piece of detritus gets an Informative tag say what! someone is pulling their plonker a lot too much
