The 9th court precedent covers precisely this kind of extra-territoriality, you can’t simply ignore it just because you don’t like it.

The judge’s ruling is binding on Moto, they’ve not claimed otherwise and you can be quite sure that they’ll respect it – because it certainly won’t be overturned at appeal – any appeal would be to the 9th circuit – and telling them that the Judge has no right to make such an anti-injunction ruling would be hilariously unsuccessful.

Moto isn’t even trying to make that argument in its legal tussles with Microsoft. Instead it is arguing on much more narrow legal grounds, because it knows it doesn’t stand a chance attempting to find the battle the way you seem to think it should.

Or a space elevator.

You’ve said it and I’ve demonstrated that the 9th circuit disagrees with you, and that their decision requires Judge Robart to disagree with you.

Moreover if the Supreme Court disagreed with them they’ve had several years to overturn it.

Precedents ARE facts, when arguing before a court in the US precedents are generally far more important than statute. You’re not talking about France or Germany here.

There’s nothing in the constitution that protects the right to an abortion, and yet it’s legal everywhere in the US, because of a precedent.
There’s nothing in the constitution that protects the right to an inter-racial marriage, yet it’s legal everywhere in the US, because of a precedent.

If you ignore precedent then you ignore the law.

If you want to take that approach good test would be to cover a bunch of different, but still authentically British accents.

Does this mean we’ll be seeing this from IKEA soon? How on earth will they make it flat-pack?

I think you’re getting confused. The drugs in question were completely legal – they were merely Canadian.

Before a moderator freaks and bans me for profanity – that actually reads ‘Happy birthday Clint’

Here was me thinking this was about drunken skydriving escapades

Oh and if you don’t like wiki, how about a refresher course from Georgetown Law?

The person who needs to read wikipedia here is you

If you can’t appreciate subtle distinctions like this then I’m not surprised legal matters make you so irate.

And finally, the 9th circuit? Your kidding right? Found yourself a good source there. You are also aware that among ALL federal circuit courts the 9th is the most overturned there is right? I used Google & got that little nugget. Thx for the tip.

You realize that Seattle is within the 9th Circuit right? Until such time as the Supreme Court chooses to overturn that ruling, it is a binding precedent on Judge Robart. The fact that some other rulings of the 9th have been overturned is irrelevant, and in fact is less significant than it might appear once you realize that the 9th circuit is by far the largest in the US, with the most judges, the most cases to oversee and the most rulings made.

The US is a common-law country, so precedents like this form an effective part of the legal code.

Hopefully I’ve cleared up some of this confusion for you.

I doubt it’s a strategic decision to make G+ on iOS worse, since Google really wants G+ to be a success at this point – and Android really doesn’t need the support.
I also doubt it’s an issue with iOS not being able to support it technologically, or Apple’s App submission rules, I think it’s really just a matter of resourcing.

Google has a significant problem when it comes to resourcing iOS developers, in much the same way that Apple has a significant problem when it comes to resourcing Windows developers.

If you’re a really good iOS dev you don’t want to work for Google for reasons that I hope are obvious. Instead you’d probably rather get a job with a startup, or with Apple,
On the other hand if you’re a really good dev already working for Google, you don’t want to get transferred into the iOS development team, for reasons that should be even more obvious.

So the iOS team within Google will always be a little unloved, in much the same way that the Windows dev team within Apple will always be a little unloved, and the OS-X team within Microsoft will always be a little unloved.

He’s misusing the term, everybody who isn’t a hacker/programmer is a luser

The UK may have been the best place to do the review, but his point is still fair. Vlad’s accent is a fascinating mish-mash of London and Eastern Europe, but it’s probably not one that either device is optimized for.

Americans may all believe that Vlad sounds English, but I can assure you that English people disagree.

It’s an old quote from Gil Amelio where he unintentionally revealed exactly what was wrong with Apple’s senior management.

‘You know, Gina, Apple is like a ship, that ship is loaded with treasure, but there’s a hole in the ship. And my job is to get everyone to row in the same direction.’

It’s apposite here because RIM is in the same situation, sinking with a hole below the waterline and the CEO is busy trying to get people to row faster, rather than dealing with the hole.

Wait, so you’re saying you checked the entire civil code? The whole thing? Wow, I’m impressed.

But still after that incredible feat you stil didn’t manage to read or understand my second paragraph. Also I really don’t know why you keep talking about ‘the authority to enforce orders in a foreign jurisdiction’, because the Judge hasn’t done any such thing. he’s enforced an order on Motorola – the German courts are not being ordered to do anything, and indeed could not be.

It must really suck being so badly informed but really, rather than just get angry when you’re shown to be wrong why not take the opportunity to learn and be less badly informed next time?

He linked to faux news, I suppose that the truthiness is infectious.

Have you tried VLC? Depending on your specific hardware it may allow you to play and rip multiple regions.

Even if it isn’t based in the US, it’s still subject to DMCA if it does business in the US.
