Q: There had speculation that Samsung might be awarded damages as well because of its claim that Apple had infringed its technologies.
A: "What was key to us... is that [the technologies] had to be interchangeable."
"And so consequently, when we looked at the source code - I was able to read source code - I showed the jurors that the two methods in software were not the same, nor could they be interchangeable because the hardware that was involved between the old processor and the new processor - you couldn't load the new software methodology in the old system and expect that it was going to work. And the converse of that was true."
Edit: Specifically, he convinced the other jurors that because the "methods in software" were not interchangeable ... well, rereading it I'm not sure what his conclusion is.
He's talking about mailing lists where people submit patches and such, so 90% of the email is text only. And (here I'm guessing) he's talking about replying to, say, a patch email and having it html-fied.
The blog linked to an img of a newspaper from the period. Here is the Library of Congress's archive of the same paper, showing the same letter. Now, that doesn't show that the Tribune wasn't duped as to the letter's source, but it does show that the grammar is from that period. Assuming you trust the LOC.
Lennart is a Fedora dev known for writing replacements for linux subsystems. For example, he started PulseAudio and systemd, a replacement for init. Recently, he's suggested a replacement for syslog where the logs aren't written as plain text.
I would guess the last one was the impetus for this petition.
Official fighter pay is reported to state commissions and can be found on many sites after the event. What is not disclosed, and is probably the lion's share of most fighter's income, is sponsorships.
I don't know who gets a cut of the PPV -- I suspect GSP and Silva and not many others. For the rest, their disclosed pay is in usually in the low 6-figures.
In the past there were a ton of stories about tactics used by Dana and the Fertitta's to keep overall fighter pay down. E.g. they wouldn't bring in fighters who were making big money at other promotions (such as Fedor and Overeem), for fear of setting precedents. They do seem more open to that now, though, as Overeem is in the UFC and Fedor might be soon.
Edit: Some examples from the last event (copied from Wikipedia):
Henderson - 250,000
Rua - 165,000
Wanderlei Silva - 200,000
Cung Le - 350,000 (total WTF)
Faber - 64,000 (including win bonus, plus Faber is a huge draw, another WTF)
I had 15 or so collections (misspent youth, what can I say), it took me a year of off-and-on effort to clear them out. I had a very boring high-paying job, so I could take the time to do it right, and could afford to send out registered letters all the time.
I second creditboards.com. It can be difficult and demoralizing to find what you need on there, but it's worth it. I've got several collections removed from my own report, and I'll help anybody who asks.
Since you're dealing with a small valid debt -- the first thing to try is the Right Thing. Call the Dr's Office -- not the collections agency -- offer to pay if they will take the bill back from the collections agency. Whether they can do that depends on their arrangement, but for a small Dr's office they probably can. After that, you may need to contact the credit bureau's again, but it should go much better.
If that doesn't work, then you need a VALID complaint for the bureau's. Any discrepancy between the truth and what's on your report is worth trying. If the date is wrong, or the name of the company, anything. Keep trying.
This last part is my opinion, but I don't think you should EVER pay to the collections agency. They will not remove things from your report because you paid. If you ask, then they know they have you over a barrel, and will try to get more money out of you. Pay the original company.
EDIT: Another great weapon is local state law. Collection agencies have to abide by the law of their state, and the law of your state. I'm in Texas -- our laws are very strict on collectors. Your agency is in California -- I believe their laws are strict too.
Of course apples are kept for long times. 14 months seems iffy, but in order to sell apples all year round, you have to store them for many months. Most produce is sold this way, but apples are particularly good for storage. You can store apples in cardboard in a cool dry room of your own house for months.
Unfortunately, I can't offer anything specific to that video.
But I can say that many of Derren's tricks are combinations of forces, multiple tries (how many ad execs participated?), compliant participants, and my favorite "dual realities". Dual realities are when a magician's words have different meanings, depending on how people have been prepped. And with video, you don't know what sort of direct priming he cut out.
In general, I've come to believe that the explanations he offers are NEVER the real mechanism for the trick. The pseudo-explanation. The wonderment that the given explanation might possibly work just adds to the trick.
I admittedly don't know anything about squatters -- but if you were going to squat in order to own a house, why would you treat it like a rental? You're trying to take ownership, you would treat it like it was yours.
There must be some aspect to this that you all know about but I'm missing.
To be clear, I was talking about physical cpu's, not cores.
But honestly, that's not the right way to think about the licensing. Sure, you need a license for each physical cpu, but beyond that you're just licensing for vRAM. So the real question is, is 24GB vRAM per license low.
By my reading of this pdf, each physical CPU requires a license and each license allows for 24-48GB of guest ram. It seems they're specifically trying to limit licensing by vRAM, rather than CPU because there are more cores in CPU's now.
