The issue seems to be not that it was an option but that there was a hidden clause that allowed the company basically to renege on the option, buying it back at the purchase price. Read TFA.
The others I mentioned are scripted using the JSR-223 interface; not something you'd use for anything really deep. Scala is just Java with the compiler replaced by the same guy who more-or-less wrote the current javac, but allowing himself to define a new language with a lot of the mistakes in the design of the Java language itself mitigated. It's totally OO and totally functional at the same time, yet can use existing Java libraries with an amazing level of transparency.
This just in: "Mono for Android includes the core Mono runtime, bindings for native Android APIs, a Visual Studio 2010 plug-in for developing and testing Android applications, and a software development kit (SDK). The enterprise edition costs $999 (£613) per developer per year, including maintenance and updates. A five-developer enterprise licence costs $3,999 per year, and a professional edition costs £399 per developer per year."
We already can program Android in Java (and Scala) and script it in Python, Lua, BeanShell, Perl, Tcl, JavaScript and Ruby. I hadn't noticed the multitudes crying out for Mono.
Wait for it; Schmidt will be named to his buddy Obama's "White House Council on Jobs and Competitiveness", and it was thought best he not be GOOG CEO while doing so.
And yes, the system is designed to be able to launch even if an attack (or something else) has damaged part of the system. You know, like "the Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it"?
It's called "redundancy". Would you want a weapon system that is disabled by any damage that might occur? Like in a war?
Too bad you can't use disappearing ink for grocers' apostrophes.:-)
And yes, the press has been in the tank for Obama and the Dems all along.
I'll be quite happy to replace my Congresscritters, and perhaps have a shot at it now that the electorate is no longer quite so hypnotized. But quite a lot of damage has been done; a lot or repealing needs to happen.

...and the fast-path treatment they're getting from Obama's FCC.

Why have an application that is tied in with a competitor's product?
Like G+ and Google Search on iPhone?

No, but surprisingly it's not TPM/HuffPo/DemUnderground/DailyKos either.
No. You made that up.
See? Ipse dixit. :-)
Shocker.
What does any of that have to do with Android?

BZZZZT Game over, thanks for playing. ;-)

A guard caught with a cell phone gets administrative punishment under union rules. A guard caught with drugs goes down for a felony and loses his job.

Be nice to mention what platform it's for.
...the character set isn't the problem.
And I say this as an old APL coder.
(There aren't many new APL coders.)
Obviously more fact checking is needed.

Why not simply make it a government agency and pay them with tax money? Obama would like that. We could call it "Ministry of Truth".
No, wait, it was actually http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1174
That would help explain why the Keynesians have no problem with running up the tab and leaving it to the kids.
you can't even consider using some algorithms that c programmers use all the time
Like buffer overruns.

Actually, IBM now finds itself in a situation previously experienced by IBM, too.
