Someone was (accused of) making a bunch of copies of something, without permission.

The accuser's lackey hands over information, before the Court decides if it's appropriate to enter it into evidence. The Court decides it isn't (yet) appropriate, and orders all copies of the evidence destroyed.

IOW, the accuser is now accused of making a bunch of copies of something, without permission. They just got a taste of their own medicine, at the hands of an unhappy judge.

One doesn't defend stupid beliefs with firearms. One defends, with firearms if necessary, the right to hold those stupid beliefs.

To paraphrase Jefferson, does it twist your arm or pick your pocket if your neighbor's beliefs are (in your view) stupid? Your neighbor probably thinks the same of your beliefs. So what? It's that little thing called the First Amendment, guaranteeing freedom of conscience and dissent. If you have a problem with that, then I suggest you work to rescind it. Just remember, once you take away your neighbor's freedoms, you've also lost those same freedoms for yourself.

He didn't just attend; he graduated with a Bachelor's and a Master's in engineering.

Maybe his beliefs are ignorant, but it's a safe bet he knows how to defend them.

Stephen Chu, the whiz kid who's now being named as a "person of interest" in the mis-management of the Dept. of Energy loans to so-called "green" companies.

Sadly, given the fact that Oracle has sued Google over nine lines of standard library code for the Java language (developed by Sun, bought out by Oracle), it wouldn't shock me at all to hear that Apple has sued over Objective-C.

I know, the parent comment is funny, but the best humor has a grain of truth. In this case, it's a grain of sand in a shoe.

That makes about as much sense as measuring the slope of a sidewalk wheelchair ramp as centimeters of rise per feet of run.

ARM-based CPU's are out-selling x86 by a fairly hefty margin, thanks to the mobile/embedded market, while the desktop x86 kingdom has been nearly saturated for, well, forever as these things go. And until Intel gets a clue and makes a chipset that renders on-screen for less than 5 times the mA-h required by a comparable ARM, it's going to stay that way.

Based on that, it's only good business sense that Intel brings in ARM business for their fabs.

Boo fucking hoo. Then don't click it, and forever wonder what's there.

A cancer like this.

I've followed the news about RPi development and manufacturing, and I've seen NOTHING saying the Model A was scrapped. The Model B was developed and manufactured first, because it's easier to take things out than to wedge them in. The Model A's supplied memory was doubled, as they found it was cheaper to omit components between models, than to use different components between the models.

If a medical device can be made available to heads-of-state, why not task the NSA with proving that it won't be a vector for carrying out a political assassination?
