Honestly, I find it rather deplorable that they would post this. Regardless of any bad press they have, if they win in the end, the truth would come out.

The first thing most lawyers would say is "keep your mouth shut". Posting this doesn't do anything but make this pissing match all the more public.

I hope they can stay classy.
If you're just comparing percentages, then yes 0.9 > 0.5.

However, overall the comparison doesn't stand up. 1 gallon for 50 miles vs 2.94 gallons, the 50 mpg is what is saving more gas, therefore it wins.
Probably because it is too generic (well... a specific but general use word)... kind of like this situation. The real idiots here are the ones that granted this trademark in the first place. Plus it was a bit of a joke.

Every single one of your replies: calls me names, insults me, offers no citations. Every single one of your replies repeats the same claims over and over about a legal risk for giving advice. A half a dozen people have asked you for an explanation and you refuse to even elaborate.

You can think what you like of me, normally I'd say I'm sorry that I've left this impression on you. I just don't understand where you're coming from on this topic and it's clear that many others don't either.

edit: I meant a "ban" on the practice of giving legal advice, I didn't mean to imply on the person. You're right "ban" is the wrong word anyway.

Dude, you're even more interested in calling yourself names than just participating in the actual conversation. I'm sorry that I've failed to express myself well here but I'm losing patience with trying to have discourse.
You are correct. There was a lot of resistance from generals who were well versed in conventional warfare. Many of them thought that guerrilla warfare was either cowardly or somehow below us.

Richard Marcenko, the founder of the now defunct SEAL Team 6 (got transformed into the Developmental Warfare Group) discusses the attitudes he encountered throughout his navy career in some of his earlier novels. (he does write fiction now, but some of his earlier works were based on his life.) I know that he's an extremely controversial figure and that his writing ability is questionable, but he was both a SEAL and an officer at a time when the military was just starting to realize how significant a role that guerrilla warfare would play in future conflicts.
One other thing comes to mind -- the conflict in the Pacific had a more distinctly nasty racial and imperial cast than the conflict in Western Europe. The fighting was more savage, and the enemy more demonized (on both sides). This made it easier to carry out the destruction of a whole city.

I'm siding with WhosHere on this one (although it doesn't matter). Here's why.

First, they asked Brian to change the name from "Who's Near Me" to something else, and he apparently agreed to, but his rebranding was to "WNM (Who's Near Me) Live" which is basically the same thing except that "Who's Near Me" is written smaller and acronym-ized in the brand. But it's still the same name.

Second, a lot of people are talking about how the name is generic. That's exactly the point. When you're using your phone and see "Who's Here", you think, this will tell me who's here. If there's another app that's called "Who's Near Me", you think the same thing. So it's more than just them both having the word 'who'. It's more like if one app were called "Shoelaces" that tied your shoelaces for you, and then another app named itself "Tie Your Shoelaces" and did the same thing. It's, people will look at this app and know that this is what they use to tie their shoelaces, a trademark should prevent another app from being able to do that.

Third, "It is also offensive to me that you would think my time was only worth $100/hr, considering I turn down requests offering 4 times that rate regularly". I'm tired of the fake arrogance in C.S. culture. Brian's 26, I don't think he regularly gets offers for $400 an hour, and even if he did there's no reason to put it in that e-mail.

This is impersonal and based on limited information.
Before coming to the USA for the first time I read the following in a guide: "Americans often communicate via inflected grunts and groans, such as "uh-huh" for yes and "uh-uh" for no.
"Hey Steve. It's John at Cisco. We've got a trademark that's just a descriptive combination of two common English words. We've noticed you're using one of those common words in a different three word combination as your trademaek. We demand you give us your domain name, because, ummm, derp…"

Could anyone seriously trust these guys with their social graph data after they've pulled a stunt like this? Like you say "It's business". This behavour seems to be a clear indication of how this "business" will treat _your_ rights when they think their business would be more profitable if they ignore them.
In case anyone missed it, this is a reference to the oft-brilliant Tom Lehrer :

> Every single one of your replies: calls me names, insults me

Oh, my God! You're right! It's almost like I'm reacting to the tone of conversation that you set by calling me names, or something else equally logical!

> A half a dozen people have asked you for an explanation and you refuse to even elaborate.

And, half a dozen people have gotten replies explaining that I am not legally permitted -- as in, I'll be held in contempt and go to jail if I do -- to elaborate on the firsthand knowledge I have regarding a similar situation. I've seen it happen personally, I advise against it as a result, I'm sorry, I can't elaborate further. The end. The irony here is that I went after tptacek for this a few days ago and now I'm in a similar situation myself.

I know what I'm talking about. I can't provide evidence to you, and I don't care if you believe me or not, but I will still share my opinion that it's legally questionable territory.

> I just don't understand where you're coming from on this topic and it's clear that many others don't either.

The several people and lawyer who agreed with my position make perfectly valid explanations that I did not think of, and not a single soul replied to them, but everybody's happy to pile on jsprinkles because his tone isn't perfect. Don't come back high and mighty about discourse when you started this conversation with three annoying, smarmy comments. Go fuck a rake.

Please, I'm begging you, bring back the Bitcoin remark so I can laugh at it again. And, keep deleting the comments that I'm referring to to undermine my position. Don't worry. I remember.

He also didn't mention that he tried to sell his app to them 2 years ago. Or that they made him an extremely generous offer this year.
That is not true. I took the DAA class and you could choose your own language. I used Python.
yes. he does say "he talks to her", but explains that he knows she's dead, and he only talks to the thought of her, rather than seeing her. that's one seriously funny section of his book.
I am a supporter of Environment Texas - however as a Texan I strongly support SpaceX use of this private property whose commercial benefits far outweigh the risk to nearby wildlife.

This southernmost part of Texas is economically depressed and needs the investment. I can easily imagine that 40 more acres can be conserved somewhere else as an offset.

Personally, I agree with you, here, and that has always been my policy.

It seems to me like the author of the article agrees, too, though. I think he's saying that shyness comes from putting your emotions first, and I assume he thinks shyness is a bad thing.
If you're talking about water just lying around, maybe so, but US water standards are if anything ridiculously stringent compared to much of the rest of the world [1]. Read that page carefully, and observe that while the US standards may appear at times to permit things somewhat higher than other standards, the US (along with Europe) strongly enforce them, so it's not that comparable.

As for the air, it is generally clean in the US. Sort this chart by "above or below world average": [2] Also note the line about the US being very well sampled, so if there's an error it's not there.

It isn't 1965 anymore.

actually he didn't repress his grief. he understood that grief for her doesn't change that she's dead, and other people bugging him about her death doesn't make it any better. So he decides he might as well just continue doing what he was doing, because how he deals with her death is not his colleagues concern

Well the fact that we're here on HN indicates we may not be the best to dispense advice!

That being said I use a Chrome plugin http://www.stayfocusd.com/ and during my working hours I limit the amount of time I can spend on certain sites. It's actually pretty helpful without making me feel that I'm cut off from my favorite sites - I usually almost never have my time limit expire. It really makes you aware of how much time you're spending on non-productive sites, though.
Jesus, the Internet Hate Machine is brutal. You haven't heard the other side of the story and you already want to BOMB them?

Are you really sure you want to BOMB people to support him?

It's not that "nobody cares that it's wrong", it's that they reasonably disagree with that: not everybody thinks it's wrong!

It seems the fact that copyright infringement is "wrong" is an axiom for you. Going from that position, I could see why the discussion seems poor: other people have different axioms! Of course, if people are arguing about something, treating it as an axiom is not productive.

Also, there are people who hold the exact opposite stance: it's not piracy that's wrong, it's copyright.

Take a look at the free software movement--not only do they believe you shouldn't legally limit people from distributing software, they actually go farther and believe you shouldn't even make it difficult to modify and reuse code! There are some very intelligent people in the FSF, and they've contributed immensely to the software world, all on the opposite premise: it's not infringement that's wrong, it's copyright.

Now, I could see how you would disagree with them. An unfortunate proportion of HN seems to--look at any thread about MIT/BSD licensing. But you shouldn't just dismiss their philosophy out of hand and implicitly believe that spreading information in spite of copyright is wrong.

Ultimately, it's not that "piracy" is justified, it's that it doesn't need to be justified in the first place. What needs to be justified is restricting distribution in the first place.
If there's one good example that our military underestimated the importance of cyber-security until recently, it is that the U.S. Army Cyber Command was just established in 2009. Before this happened, there was definitely work being done by the Army in this field, but it wasn't the large-scale, coordinated effort that such an important threat demands.

In the years leading up to the creation of the Cyber Command, there were many field grade officers who expressed the need for such a unit. These officers suggested that the military needed some sort of presence in cyberspace, mostly to ensure the safety of U.S. networks and partly to enable us to effectively respond to cyber-attacks around the world.

This article has a lot of good information about CYBERCOM.

Seriously, I read both articles, and you put a gun in my head, and I'd tell you I still can't tell you the names of these 2 apps. Who's where? Who's here? Where's Waldo? Who cares? Such generic names, no branding.
Better inter-app communication a la intents on android would be great.
For iOS6 multi-tasking on the 5th generation iPhone, if the rumors of a ~170 pixel taller display are true, I would like to see a persistent dock mode when you activate the multi-tasking switcher. So basically you double-home-tap and the app resizes down ~170 pixels and the dock appears. The dock stays on the bottom of the screen as you switch between applications and use them. When you're done with your little flurry of heavy multi-tasking you double-home-tap to hide the dock again. This should also work nicely on an iPad sized display. For the ways I multi-task on iOS this would be almost a perfect system. Most of the time I'm jumping into another app for a very brief stay -- just long enough to copy something, reference something, or act on an event, then I'm returning to whatever I was doing. On the iPhone this presently requires a ridiculous number of home button taps. On the iPad using the multi-touch gestures require a lot of swiping. The Mission Control style switching this article suggests would be OK but I feel like it would still require a lot of extra taps and swipes.

As a supporter of free (as in speech) software, I'd probably end up helping them fix bugs in the code, as long as they paid the favor forwards.
Since when has number of free downloads in the app store been a measure of business model viability? The fact is they are pursuing destructive means to grow their business, as an investor I would much prefer to have founders who were investing my monies in a constructive way especially given the generic and dissimilar app names. I mean how good a product do they have if they feel that the name of their competitors app is having such a material impact on their business?
What I want, and what would convince me to not jailbreak, is quick reply. The iPhone is powerful enough to handle the extra processing and it makes life a whole lot easier.
> I think you should throw away all your legal rights to a trademark if retaining those rights means you have to be a bad person.

That's noble, but bad for business. When you have to make a tough call like this at the helm of your own company, if you come from the heart (like that attitude), you're going to lose. It's unfortunate that the world has developed the way it has, but it's also just about impossible for a tactical shift at this point: heart has no place in business, and those who can successfully use their heart in business had to be very, very careful in how they did so. And they weren't always the cleanest, either.

I appreciate your honesty and your position here, but "that just isn't the way business works". You'll get taken advantage of, thinking like that, because not everybody has the same heart you do. Sucks, but is.

Given your knowledge of Marcinko's reputation I'm surprised you used him as your reference material. When Marcinko formed ST6 he selected the first members from an already existing specwar community. The same thing can be said for Beckwith and the creation of SFOD-D which predated ST6.
You might do well to wait for both sides of the story before lighting your pitchfork and calling to "rake these fuckers over the coals". Because looking at some of Brian Hamachek's emails to WhosHere, it appears you've been had by an untruthful sob story.

A computer. What you want is a more general computer. There's nothing wrong with that, just saying.
Clearly, no one wins from this ridiculous exchange. All parties involved need to man up, get in a boardroom and bang out a deal.

Prior to that, they should both delete these posts and same themselves further embarrassment.

Agreements are hard to make sometimes, and compromise sucks, but the ramifications of spending time on crap like this instead of building your business is massive.

Best of luck to both parties, here's hoping they can put the egos aside long enough to do some business.
"I am very worried that Microsoft may be about to shoot itself in the foot spectacularly."

Just in case you ever have to turn off someone's Windows 8 computer - best memorize this ...

"In the Metro interface, hover your mouse over the Zoom icon that appears in the lower right corner of the screen. The Charms bar should then pop up displaying several icons. Moving your mouse up the screen will reveal the names of each icon, including Search, Share, Start, Devices, and Settings. Click the Settings icon and then the Power Icon. You should see three options: Sleep, Restart, and Shut down. Clicking Shut down will close Windows 8 and turn off your PC."

Yep, Microsoft buried the shutdown option in the settings menu!

When you see one of these at your local retailer, for a laugh ask the sales clerk to shut it off.
Yes, in their own defense, but not in the defense of others unless they are licensed to practice.

I have heard of a handful of cases (related to immigration law) where persons who offered legal advice were held accountable for providing bad advice online. They did not hold themselves out to be lawyers, but they did hold themselves out to be knowledgeable about immigration law. It's not common for people to be held accountable for this because not many people go so far as to cross the line into "unauthorized practice."
