I think it must be her time of the month.

There are countries inside the US?

50 at the last count. Four are Commonwealths; Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, the rest are states.

Re: Wonderful... NOT

A map of the area of a client computer (10) is requested from a map server (11). Information relating to a place of interest is requested from an information server (12) by the client computer (10).

This should be easy to work around, don't have separate map and information servers.

We can start talking about linux on the desktop when consumers start buying linux on the desktop.

So can we talk about my mum and her Linux Mint desk top then?

Re: A am not a lawyer, but...

Don't know about libel, but aren't DCMA take down notices filed under penalty of perjury?

In that case ...

I'd like to name element 127 Nybalium. In order of all the geeks who have helped with the processing of the data.

Re: New anti trust case please

You may get your thrills from being in a terminal window and trawling through usr, lib and randomly named directories, constantly sudo'ing all the time. But the rest of the population gave that up a couple of decades ago for efficiency.

That's true.

Did I mention I use Linux?

Two Ansewers

1) In the UK you are correct, in the US it's different and Jury interviews are allowed.

2) The legal teams are not in house lawyers each company brought in external layers for this case, if you are really interested check out groklaw.

Re: They did what?

You get a patent in each country, and each country has it's own rules. Just because the UK says it's invalid does not mean that it's invalid under German rules. Having it ruled invalid in one country can certainly help you in another as you can point to the reasons the first court accepted but the second court does not have to accept it.

Re: Randum numbers

Who the hell down voted your correction? +1 to counter balance it.

Re: Oh, joy -- our US gun nuts have reached El Reg.

I've always thought that the anti-gun lobby has missed a trick by not calling in the militia, on Superbowl Sunday.

Re: Arrr, harr-harr!

I did complain to the ASA, I was politely told to get lost.

Reminds me of all the furore over Jerry Springer the Opera

I watched it, at what got me was not that it was offensive, but that it was not offensive enough.

Bring back the meaning of life all is forgiven.

*If you found anything in this post offensive then my I respectively say:

FUCK OFF ASS HOLE!

Re: however....

Re: Irvine Welsh...

That's so old tec. Dead trees and all that malarkey. What you need is some high-powered multimedia mashup with a community investment package from the BFF and/or Channel 4 if you are going to get any where in his new thrusting world.

Re: Does Outlook.com support POP3?

Currently 4 posts 3 down voted with the word Android in them. Lets see if I can trigger it as well.

So Virgin closely monitor your data?

I doubt it. They are having to read the packet headers to root the data already. So all they need to do is check the Source Address in the packet.

Re: Free publicity...

Not really, I got to you comment and have forgotten their name already.
