Bela Legosi's dead...

It's all about copyright, correct? Copyright only applies to creative expressions. Purely functional expressions are not protected. APIs only provide context for calling functions and passing parameters. They, themselves, do not perform any function but merely describe how the function should be called.

The original ruling was mistaken. Google's use was not Fair Use. What was copied wasn't subject to copyright to begin with. Google used Java APIs but wrote the code behind the APIs. Oracle invented a new copyrightable thing, Structure, Sequence, and Organization. There is nothing in law to support this view.

Funny you mention that. When I first heard of it, I bought the game. I didn't download it or play it, I just bought it. And I explained to them why I did as well! ;)

"...no way for an OS to detect it."

It's not easy, but it can be done. The USB keyloggers present themselves over the USB bus as a keyboard, but not necessarily YOUR keyboard. They will have the same USB vendor/device ID across all of the devices. So look for that ID in place of your normal keyboard. Boom, detected in software. ;)

PC-MOS used 32bit Enhanced Mode of the 386 to make a multiuser/multitasking DOS. Making sure you've correctly defined the unused address space between 640K and 1024K was absolutely required and was a bit of black magic.

PC-MOS was good at a few apps, terrible on others. If it worked, it worked well. Most of the time it didn't work. :(

(Trained and certified on PC-MOS back in the day.)

Where does the time go?

Did the lack of this feature affect your buying decision? If it's a part of the chipset that the phone vendor didn't implement because nobody wanted it, can you really be upset for not having it?

OTOH, Other markets really use this feature. If it's there and people want it, it will happen. This might be the first step.

The officer may be guilty of misrepresentation, but I blame NASA for not telling folks how to handle a NASA phone. CITIZENS have no requirement to answer any questions or facilitate a search. Leave the phone and keep walking.

Nope.The first woman to lose a presidential election was Victoria Woodhull in 1872, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.

Filthy casuals...

You've been here a long time. If you haven't left by now, you're not going anywhere.

It's beta code for an OS that came out last week, something unsupported by the vendor. It doesn't work with AV and you want a refund. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-...

I agree, you should move to another vendor. Do Avast a favor.
