Comment Re:So, I buy the non-CA compliant vehicle in Nevad (Score 1) 66

Then register and drive it in California

This won't work. As soon as you cross state lines and try registering it you will be required to prove that it meets the road worthiness code of that state.

The closest you can get to your idea, is to live outside of California or have someone out of state own your vehicle.

Intel's plan now seems to be to get money from the government. This kind of thing can work to influence some politicians.

Btw Gelsinger grew up as a Mennonite, so he's probably also being sincere. But in the words of the legendary Ron Weasley, "He needs to sort out his priorities."

I think by now Americans would have learned "thoughts and prayers" don't work.

Although it seems marginally more effective than American corporate management.

They only work in the way it seems to be an excuse to not address the actual issues?

For the USA, here is what the Copyright Term Extension Act has to say:

Following the Copyright Act of 1976, copyright would last for the life of the author plus 50 years (or the last surviving author), or 75 years from publication or 100 years after creation, whichever is shorter for a work of corporate authorship (works made for hire) and anonymous and pseudonymous works.

I do think the music industry is being greedy, especially for anything from the 1890s. I also agree this is not in the interests of the artists.

I think it's more likely that Broadcom wants to be an Oracle. They don't want the high cost of supporting customers that actually need a lot of hand holding, so by pricing things high enough, the companies that can switch away do so, leaving only the big fish that need little support, but pay big money just in case they do at some point in the future.

Hmm, MySQL meet MariaDB?

If you don’t like the public nature of the internet, then don’t post on social media. It doesn’t matter what contract or belief in copyright you have, when you’ve put something out in public it’s there for all to see, whether it is by a bot or human.

Feel free to hire a lawyer, but i would suggest avoiding public speech first, to save on those bills.

Comment Re: One reason to abandon Java/Javascript altogeth (Score 1) 26

If you are treating Java and JavaScript as the same thing, then you are either a Scrum Grand Master or if youâ(TM)re a dev, then you need to hand in your dev card.

Oracle can claim ownership of Java branding, but Iâ(TM)d be hard pressed to see it claim ownership of the JavaScript trademark. Mozilla is closer to being the true owner of said trademark, if anyone is.
