That has not just happened in consulting services. Higher band levels have been demoted. Global Sales Markets can only hire at band 7 or above. Band 9s and 10s in the Global Markets are being RAed left and right. Early professional hires are being put in customer facing roles with no prior customer experience and very limited technical experience.

<p>The brand-new user interface is the first thing you’ll notice in Vivaldi 7.0. Floating tabs, sleek icons, and vibrant themes breathe new life into the browsing experience, allowing users to personalize the browser’s look and feel. </p>

<p> The new UI density setting lets you customize the interface to suit your preferences, whether you prefer a spacious layout or a more compact design. </p>

<p>One of the most exciting new features is Rocket, a tool launcher written entirely in Python using PyQt6 for the GUI. It simplifies running Docker containers, particularly for security tools available in the Parrot repository and beyond. </p>

<p> In other words, instead of manually downloading and running them via no-so-user-friendly Docker commands, users can now select the desired one directly from Rocket’s UI, which handles the rest. </p>

<p>The era of the i386 architecture is coming to an end in Kali Linux. Starting this week, support for i386 is being significantly reduced: the i386 kernel and images are being discontinued. This means no more new releases or images for the 32-bit architecture. </p>

schestowitz

<p> Before you get worried, let us reassure you—everything is perfectly fine and this change was completely expected. In fact, Kali was one of the last holdouts that supported the old x86 architecture. To make things clearer, let’s shed some light on the terminology: [...] </p>

"I'm done dealing with all this insane security protocol. You had me install Mumble years ago and it took me hours to figure it out. I just tried now and have no idea and I'm not doing that again. It won't let me connect to that address.

Please just use a normal communication channel. It's not a big deal. We are right.'

Oh there is a strategy, but it doesn’t include non-enterprise customers. They have been and will continue to be partnered off. IBM went all in on scaleout Power replacing Intel (especially for LINUX), and it’s been a disaster as the ISV’s said “no thank you and embraced Intel solutions instead” Scale out margins run at 1/3 of what enterprise margins run at, and this isn’t sustainable, when you consider IBM’s high cost over

schestowitz

head. The CFO’s mention on the 3rd q call of a redhat/Dell Linux partnership only reinforces how IBM is viewing scaleout HW. It doesn’t fit into the “enterprise only” go forward strategy, and we have seen how IBM deals with products that don’t fit (Palo Alto). Yep they sell them off and partner with them instead.

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Board of Appeal back-pedals on referral in view of "unequivocal" lack of legal basis for the description amendment requirement (T 56/21) - The IPKat

schestowitz

"DXThomas, it would be interesting to get your view on some real world style scenarios.<br /><br />For example, you have claims that have been amended during prosecution to address Art 84 issues and the resulting claim set is one which, while looking very different to the claims as filed, are accepted by the examining division to meet the requirements of Art 123(2). The only way to make the description conform to the allowable claims is

schestowitz

to largely rewrite the entire description because the language of the claims, whilst now clear, is not verbatim found in the description. This scenario is common for applications that originated in Japan, China, and so on. You would be a brave attorney indeed to do a full rewrite instead of pushing back against the requirement to conform the description. <br /><br />Another example: your application is an n-th generational divisional.

schestowitz

You have been farming this family for many years and have just about managed to convince the examining division that your current claim set, based on a throw-away remark at the end of the description as filed is a standalone invention vs the parent, grand-parent, great-grand-parent and so on. Your application has just been allowed but the invention is so specific in its scope that the overall structure and way the description was origin

schestowitz

ally written means that most paragraphs probably include some things that are within the scope and some things that aren't. There is no way to disentangle these things without a full rewrite. This is a scenario that is common for families that applicants want to keep alive for as long as possible. Again, you would be a brave attorney if you are going to advise your clients to go for a rewrite rather than pushing back against conforming.

schestowitz

<br /><br />No doubt you can envisage plenty of other of these kinds of real world style examples. In fact there are probably many more of these kinds of examples than examples where conformance is an easy task. <br /><br />What is your approach in these kinds of cases? Do you go for the full description rewrite or do you half-heartedly change a word or two in the summary and proudly declare that your description now conforms when it do

schestowitz

es not (on a strict interpretation of the T-decisions that support description amendments).<br /><br />I suspect if the boards actually knew how many granted descriptions don't comply with conformance and how much extra work the examiners would have to take on to enforce compliance, they would quietly update the guidelines and find an interpretation of the EPC that would allow them to drop the description amendments requirement."
