i'd suggest changing the thread policies. Fixed... now 'members and staff' can create threads instead of just 'staff'... didn't realize it wasn't already setup that way.

ESPN said they were down 8-1 (not 8-3) and came back to win 9-8... although, i guess at one point they must have also been down 8-3en route to the come back... so i suppose you're not entirely incorrect

We have plenty of people as expert in reading these as [Florian], and some much better. A monkey could do his job better than him. At least a monkey wouldn't completely lie through his teeth at every turn then vehemently attack anybody that disagrees with him in a talkback forum.

Sad indeed. but i think we all saw this coming. except for the hard care blackberry fans that really truly thought it would persevere.

Perhaps we should rather call the remnants of Nokia "Nukia", either for what they are going to try doing to Newkia, or how they are likely to end up for their apparent plan of suing their competition instead of actually competing. It's inaccurate to talk about a "remnant". Nokia sold about half of its business to Microsoft, not the whole company or even a majority. Of course, the phone business was the most publicly visible part, so most people seem to think all of Nokia was swallowed. But in the spirit of Groklaw, let's try to stick to facts. Nokia still will have quite real production going on, and can't a pure patent troll. While i mostly agree with you on this, they do have the capability of enforcing patents against other phone makers without the fear of receiving reciprocal attacks. That's the key part in being a troll, not that you aren't producing ANYTHING, but that you aren't producing anything relevant. If you aren't making phones, but you are using phone patents to sue phone companies, imo that's basically being a patent troll because you know there will be absolutely no repercussions against your actions. Now, at this point we have to wait and see which game microso- i mean nokia, wants to play here. will they remain on the sidelines and use their ip for enforcing against parties that are actually violating, or will they jump on the "let's sue the brains out of every android manufacturer" bandwagon.

Operating a business is not the antithesis of being a patent troll. If they aren't making smartphones anymore, but they are using a bunch of smartphone patents to sue royalties from other companies... that indeed is being a patent troll. I agree with others, MS has carefully planned this every step of the way. From planting Elop there, to making the deal for windows phone only OS, to eventually [merging], but keeping the patents in a separate company so that MS can't be countered sued if they take someone to court.

This thread was moved a couple times and eventually deleted altogether because each member has a custom field in their profile to add an encryption key.

Unless we can find a new medium to manufacture with, Moore's Law will eventually have to end. There's only so small we can make these components. I don't think we are ANYWHERE near understanding quantum computing to the point where that can be reliable, so unless we can find some middle ground between now and then, i think we are going to fall off that curve a bit.

“The patents system doesn’t work for software because it is almost impossible for genuine technology companies to create new software without breaching some of the hundreds of thousands of software patents that exist, often for very obvious work,” Matthews said.
Somebody gets it !!!

lol I had read the article earlier in the day before you posted it here. The first thing i saw was the date and thought it was a typo (a really bad typo, wrong month, wrong year... only thing they got right was the day)... then i started reading the article and it eventually clicked that it was supposed to be a joke.
