How many times have we seen 'redacted' legal documents as a PDF with black bars overlaying the text? (See Groklaw for past examples.)

Does this demonstrate a failure in understanding information security?

Assuming your family doesn't stone you to death first. Remember, the pr0n from Prenda Law's clients is gay pr0n. Since Prenda has accused your IP address based on their slipshod investigation, then you must be guilty.

Watching the Prenda pr0n means you downloaded it and thus committed copyright infringement. The only way to obtain Prenda gay pr0n is to download it, as Prenda's clients do not offer their gay pr0n for sail. The fact that Prenda sends you a settlement letter doesn't mean you are guilty, it is merely an accusation based on a slipshod "investigation". Of course, if you don't pay, all your family and neighbors will be contacted for further "investigation" to ask them if they know anything about you downloading the gay pr0n of Prenda Law's clients.

The six figures he's talking about comes from the statutory damages for copyright infringement. (Not that you're guilty, but just merely accused. But hey, isn't it just cheaper to settle for a few thousand bucks rather than spend much more fighting it in court, and potentially losing, meaning a judgement against you for six figures?) Plus you don't want your family and neighbors finding out you may watch gay pr0n and thus they stone you to death.

> I am not ashamed to admit I watch porn.

Just FYI . . . for those following along with the Prenda fiasco, the Prenda pr0n is all gay pr0n. Yes. Seriously.

People who are merely accused by Prenda risk having their relatives told that you watch gay pr0n, so that your relatives would stone you to death, even if the Prenda accusation turns out to be untrue.

> An absurd TLA overloading.

To be more concise, simply say: ATO. (ATO = Absurd TLA Overloading.)

A super man or super model is good. Especially if super sized, but not mega sized enough to choke on. But not in a super position but rather reclined. But then there is the issue of not super sizing but having smaller portions more frequently which is also super.

Edlin is fully functional as a general purpose text editor.

So that leads to the question: why aren't people using it?

That is an excellent point. That sword cuts both ways.

So Google (or anyone, eg Samsung, etc) could point to this decision as precedent that an Android phone should only be charged some small percent of the part of the device that does the bouncy scrolling, based on how much money the bouncy scrolling feature earns of the overall device price. (Basically not much.)

Do you have any evidence of that? That false accusation has been spouted for years by SCO shills.

Groklaw is archived by the Library of Congress. That's quite a privilege and compliment. Groklaw has won numerous industry awards.

Years ago, in court filings, IBM expressly disclaimed any connection with Groklaw. If SCO, or anyone for that matter, had any evidence of this, it would definitely have been pointed out to the court that IBM was making false statements.

> I question the longevity of a company named 'Wicked Broadband".

Why? Wicked AT&T has been around for a long time.

It's not a lie. There is a shortage. Seriously.

There is a serious shortage of American STEM graduates who will work for little to nothing.

We need more H1B's to correct this problem.

Lots of mostly junk patents can be successfully used to extort money, or even ban competitors products from the market.

Bouncy scrolling. Rectangles with rounded corners. Slide to unlock. Etc. Obviously these patents must be worth a mint, while Motorola's patents on actual underlying technology, developed by engineers in a lab, are worth little.

Florian Microsoft is a paided shill. Don't quote him. He has a considerable record of being wrong. See Groklaw.

It was all about patent defense from trolls like Microsoft, Apple, Oracle and others. Google bought Motorola for one porpoise: using its patent portfolio defensively.

How about a fleet of autonomous wave energy harvesting robots that collect trash in the ocean?
