Not mine, nor I guess RMS'. The first thing to do is to sign in to
your Google acct. Sure you can use it offline, but you can't "use"
it for anything useful until you've established your chain of
obeisance and put your firstborn in escrow to the Mountain View
chocolate factory. Talk about walled gardens ...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Replace "United States" with your own country, "China" with
"United States", and "Huawei and ZTE" with "Microsoft,
Apple, Google and Facebook".
Oh, look what I just did.
Yes, Google comply with local laws in whatever region they're operating in.
Which means they aren't safe from predatory governments.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Had a big smile some minuts ago: Checked Florian Mueller's
"blog" and boy, the puppet working very hard to discredit
anything Android! :)
Guess he got some e-mails , not the nice ones, that ask him to
be more efficient or no more money ;)So he put up a lot of
garbage, as usual :)

PJ has often mentioned her aversion to enable cookies (even temporarily) to
access sites. Do new versions of browsers have a mechanism to enable for only
the acquisition purpose and then to disable? That way content is available and
no tracking occurs. As I understand it there are other purposes than nefarious
ones to use cookies at a site. Unfortunately, any good thing can be abused
(stated as a maxim / postulate).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Oh dear, when will they get it right. The Pentium integer bug

Judges Rule for Judges on Pay.
Contained in the article is a direct opposition to a 1980 Supreme Court Decision
which is quoted as saying "precedent set by a 1980 Supreme Court ruling
that said Congress could block or reduce future judicial salary increases so
long as they hadn’t already taken effect".
It appears that the Federal Circuit is again thumbing their noses at the Supreme
Court. That seems like tugging on Superman's cape.
Having read the 1980 decision I can't imagine that the Roberts court will
overrule it. The Federal Circuit is asking Roberts to substitute his personal
opinion on judicial pay for constitutional law.

From the business pages of my morning print edition is an article
extolling the
virtues of exporting to China. A bland graphic has
the cryptic caption
"Chinese giant Huawei is now the world's largest patent
holder"
...
China's huge and burgeoning R&D capacity is producing
more and more of the world's IP.
This is evidenced by Chinese giant Huawei.
Founded in 1988 as a contract manufacturer, it is
now the world's largest
patent holder. Its IP growth is fuelled by 76,000 R&D personnel out
of a
total staff of 150,000 - the proportion of R&D to operational head count
alone says
much about China's focus.
