You are assuming that it is within the realm of possibility for her "brain" to get in gear. Based on the linked articles, her own inane statements, and her general lack of anything resembling intelligence, I am pretty certain the gears are fully stripped and may not exist in any usable form.
That being said, Teri Buhl, please keep digging. You have been added to the likes of Charles Carreon, John Steele and Brett Gibbs. Congratulations on your demotion to the rank of internet parasite.
As a current member of the IT/IS world, and one who did his time in a help desk role, I could not agree more.
We typically used PICNIC when discussing user related issues.
I will have to remember the Layer 8 reference. Have not seen that one before.
She could go for broke and hire Charles Carreon and Prenda Law(John Steele and associopaths) for her legal team. Then we could all take a ride down one really trippy rabbit hole.
There is no obviousness to this. Quirky's design is simply a dust pan with teeth to clean the broom. OXO, on the other hand, includes a recessed area to facilitate collection of dust, hair, etc... to include what the teeth knock off. Quirky got butt hurt over nothing. OXO did not sue or take any legal action. Quirky got their knickers in a twist over something stupid.
Here is some more funny...listing of the Patents they own, applied for, purchases, etc...
Soverain Software currently owns a portfolio of more than 50 issued and pending U.S. and international patents. Many of these patents resulted from Open Market’s pioneering research and development, and date back to applications filed in the 1993-1995 timeframe.
Among the technologies addressed by this portfolio are:
Internet-based systems for making secure payments
Online purchasing methodologies
Online shopping cart system
Online advertising creation and product fulfillment
Online customer service
Hypertext-based linking and authentication
Multi-merchant/-site transaction processing and order fulfillment
Session management in the stateless environment of the Internet
Mapping telephone numbers to URLs - Doesn't Apple have this one in the bag already???
Just a funny little point for this shady ass organization. Digging around the Soverain site, I found a link to a PDF about Patent Validity(Patent Valid and Infringed). The PDF it links to only shows the East Texas Ruling, but mentions nothing about the Appeals court overturning and invalidating these patents. http://www.soverain.com/pdf/patents_found_valid_and_infringed.pdf
As in most cases, trolls(or those who exhibit trollish behavior) never learn.
From Merriam-Webster(http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/queue)
1queue noun \ˈkyü\

Origin of QUEUE
French, literally, tail, from Old French cue, coe, Latin cauda, coda
While this arguably needs to be done and would be cost intensive, it would be fairly easy to point out the research that was paid for by taxpayers. While the process would be long and tedious, it could be done on a per school/program basis to assist in simplifying.
Is the school a publicly funded University/College?
- Taxpayer funded
Did the school or research program receive state/federal grants?
- Taxpayer funded
Were donations/grants from private entities non-specific in regards to financial ROI(return on investment)?
- Taxpayer(the private entity pays taxes and potentially receives a tax break for the donation) funded.
"1. The customer is always right.
2. If the Customer is wrong, see rule 1.
It really is that simple."
As a former retail employee(a majority of which was in management), this is not really a truth. A better way to approach it is, "The customer must always be satisfied."
I worked for two of the 4 major Wireless providers as well as a medium size mobile electronics retailer/installer. There were many times the customer was dead wrong, but we did not directly point this out. We educated the customer, showed them their options and alternatives, and then let them come to the conclusion that they were indeed wrong. In most cases this resulted in a satisfied customer(even if they ultimately returned products/cancelled services). They walked out knowing that we did everything in our abilities to resolve the issue.
However, and i say this also working in the IT industry now, the customer is not always right. That mentality causes more issues for the service/product provider.
You are such an ignorant and willfully stupid individual that clicked report and the signed and clicked report just to speed up the process of hiding your drivel.
At no time was there any mention of copyright, but you would have known that had you actually read and understood the article.
IP was mentioned as a patent, but nothing about copyright. Please, please do us and the world a favor. Stay in your basement, rely on grocery delivery services so that your mind disease does not propagate to the remainder of the world.
Persons like yourself bring nothing productive to this discussion, this site or this world.
Have not read the article yet, but as a Texas resident with children in public schools(luckily one of the better districts), state funding for the districts is based in part on attendance numbers. My understanding is that this district is implementing the RFID chips in order to concretely prove their attendance numbers to obtain funding.
From the Wired article:
"Like most state-financed schools, their budgets are tied to average daily attendance. If a student is not in his seat during morning roll call, the district doesn’t receive daily funding for that pupil, because the school has no way of knowing for sure if the student is there."
But with the RFID tracking, students not at their desk but tracked on campus are counted as being in school that day, and the district receives its daily allotment for that student.
Texas has some pretty stiff laws in relation to school attendance overall. Parents can be fined/jailed for their children not attending school or for proof that they are participating in an approved Home Schooling program.
Then in similar vein, sue every single computer company. I have a dell laptop with a 500GB HDD, but out of the box i only had 470GB free space thanks to OS, preinstalled application, drivers, utilities, etc...
Honestly, I used to work in Retail and had people return thumb drives for this reason. We would try to educate them, but ultimately 85% would just return it. They would then go 4 doors down to competitor and buy a similar item. We would then compare notes on the same people and they had returned it there.
I am a regular reader and infrequent commenter on this blog and I want to compliment both of you for refraining from attacking the author of this post and providing commentary that promoted logical and sane discussion.
Kudos to both of you.
I am not sure you caught everything there. I am pretty certain this was a dig at the bias displayed here in many ways. Both from a political stand point as well as a commercial one.
In addition to the other statements, I will also add these little nuggets for you. Consider any establishment that sells blended ice cream desserts. Examples would be Sonic, McDonalds, Dairy Queen(if you have them), etc... They routinely use Brand Name items when listing these on their menus. Dairy Queen: M&M Blizzard, Butterfinger Blizzard, Kit Kat Blizzard and a decent amount more. McDonalds: Oreo McFlurry, M&M McFlurry. Sonic: Butterfinger Blast, M&M Blast, Oreo Blast.
These options have been around for decades and yet neither Mars nor Nabisco have gone after these companies. It is possible that there are contracts or agreements in place, but that still does not detract from the premises that the name of the milkshake is descriptive of its ingredients.
Common Sense(not so common any more) points that this is an ignorant and self abusive move on that part of Nutella.
I believe he is presenting multiple options for pay out from Malibu Media should they lose.
"In the event Plaintiff’s allegations cannot be sustained, the five John Does will have adequate remedies to recover most, if not all, of these litigation expenses and/or damages from Plaintiff, such as a Rule 54 motion for costs, a lawsuit for abuse of civil process, a Rule 11 motion for sanctions, and a motion to recover excessive costs under 28 USC § 1927. More fundamentally, as mentioned above, because this is a copyright case, a successful defense will likely result in an award of attorney’s fees to any John Doe who prevails..."
In the above from the article, it includes legal fees/costs, at least 2 possible sanctions(fines), a lawsuit option and option to recover excessive costs. Just for the five defendants this could get expensive very quickly for Malibu...
And you are a technologically illiterate moron! See comments from the person you are attempting to refute:
"Anonymous Coward, Sep 19th, 2012 @ 4:05pm
With today's lens equipment and high resolution digital SLRs, the photographer could have been 1 to 2 miles away and still gotten pictures. A 600mm or 800mm lens provides an impressive amount of magnification with little effort. Even a 400mm lens with a 2x extender can work. Put that extender on a 600mm or 800mm lens and you can really get up close."
At an assumed distance of 4 miles, most any reasonably price telescope purchased from hobby or enthusiast store would have given exceptional clarity. Reasonably priced means around 400-600 dollars. Now take a professional(only in the case that he/she is experienced in the use of the equipment, not in their behavior) photographer who likely has Thousand of dollars/euros invested in their equipment and you have a person who from a 2 to 4 mile distance can capture relatively decent photos without breaking a sweat.
Hell with my Sony point and shoot, I can sit in the outfield at the local MLB baseball field and tell if the Catcher shaved and if he did if he nicked his face.
