The trial was not cancelled "because of Wikipedia", it was cancelled because a juror did not respect the procedure, as much as it would not be "because of the Press" if the juror had brought a newspaper in.

I guess that you would not want to be able to "wave" a payment over 100 meters, but only on close proximity scanners. Anyway, they need to implement this really well to prevent fraud. Waht could possibly go wrong?
Well, MKV has been around for a while, and having an Xvid file within MKV was very common before being used to encapsulate h264. I really don't care what the public think when the discussion becomes technical. Being accurate never hurts, and if you want to look dumb when trying to have a tech conversation about digital video that's your problem...
So if I put the picture of a 18th century painting on the cover of my book, I cannot sell it because it was repaired/restored in the last 20 years ? Since when restoration resets the copyright of an artist? And to whom goes the copyright? The museum ? This has no legal basis at all.
Since when in the UK you cannot make money with Public Domain stuff ?
These businesses are moving to Linux far faster than they are to Windows or Unix.
... conventional wisdom is that Unix users are the most likely to switch to Linux. ... it turns out that, by a few percentage points, Windows users at 36.6% are more likely to be heading to Linux than Unix, 31.4% ... 36.4% of businesses reported some Linux desktop use in their company. ... while total cost of ownership (TCO) remains a strong number two, the first reason these days for people to switch to Linux is its perceived technical superiority and features. ... 58.6%, said the recession hadn't played a role.
One thing that SJVN missed is that, "and 66% of users surveyed say that their Linux deployments are brand new (“greenfield”) deployments. This greenfield market share grab is a good indicator of a platform’s future performance." Hurry up, already, I want my GNU!
We're talking about a Foxnews report here... Scientific accuracy is not their priority.
Isn't the problem with Oracle here? It should not be that difficult to fix their software. What's the difference with Summer time change?
[...]enabling passengers to connect to the vehicle's network without affecting the battery life of their connected devices.
Can someone explain this? or is it just marketing bs? As far as I know, the battery life of the devices that are connected to some access point or router is not affected by the nature of the router. The fact it uses low power components is important for the car's battery (or fuel consumption), not for the attached device! Or am I missing something?
You must be mistaken, Sir. I was told that 9/11 was planned by Saddam Hussein, and that this justified the Iraq invasion. It is what I heard from Rumsfeld and Fox in 2003, so that had to be true. Or is it now one of those conspiracies that you are denouncing?
A federal offense ? In the UK ? That's new for me.
Multiplied by the number of users, it may be a big sum. I don't know if Germany has class-action laws though.
