And they will still have their freedoms on their Intel Macs, it's only the ARM devices that will be locked down. Remember that iOS kernel is not opensourced, even though it's an ARM port of XNU.
Flamebait has a very distinct meaning. And you did not describe it. Flamebait is a post that is in it's essence nothing than an attack on people('s) views without substantial reasoning taht will defintelly result in an unproductive flamewar.
If you disagree with someone, don't use flamebait. If you mark someone flamebai just because you disagree with them, then you are abusing your mod points.
Yet you are commenting on the non-story. The reaction to Stallman's personal notes just shows that Jobs was the leader of the Apple cult.
I don't really care what Stallman said, even though I don't care for Apple and feel that Apple's integrated approach is detrimental to user freedom. And most of those policies were Jobs' policies. Even though, these policies look really strange when listening to his 2005 speech.
Am I in any way happy or relieved that Jobs is dead? Nope, I am sad that he died. Am I relieved that his influence is gone? Yes.
Bravo for the truth. Heck why not reduce each monkey's random string length to 1 and see how long it takes to come up with every letter of the alphabet, in any order ( a few microseconds), then claim that your monkeys have covered the set of all human knowledge, past, present, and future in the English language.
And then you're screwed by an introduction of letter etalon to the english alphabet.....
Google needs teh patents(that's the reality of US legal system). Oracle needs more than milking Google, they need their hand in the Android gingerbread jar. If they end up not working together, that will be a huge blunder on Oracle's side.
A) A court decision does not equate to a law in any Civil law countries, which Belgium is.
B) Rarely does a judge in a Civil legal system interpret the spirit of the law(unless that is explicitly stated in the law). Interpreting the laws' is prerogative of constitutional/supreme courts.
The American obsession with people that died almost 2 centuries ago, that lived in a totally different world and had a different world view, is rather disturbing...
I'd argue that J2ME is NOT Java. You can't port anything useful to J2ME from a proper Java application. It's easy to port code to Android, on the other hand. As Android is still on Java 5 syntax, it'll be harder to port things in the future. But I doubt that Google is in a position to upgrade development to Java 7 at the moment, because of the lawsuit....
Was America Invents law retroactive? Prior art and first to file are not mutually exclusive. In fact, publicly disclosing your invention prior to filing would constitute prior art and thus be grounds for application refusal.
I am not a bad developer, btw. I am senior level, btw.
Do you know how much an hour of your work costs compared to a gig sick of Buffered ECC RAM? Newegg says highest priced DD2 is $80 per 1GB. Now do the right thing, calculate how much your company would spend on buying the memory and letting you spend 1 less on a specific task, as opposed to spending 1 hour more and not buying 1GB RAM...
The opcodes themselves are one to one, just like you would transform an add command to a Power CPU to a x86 CPU. In the end it's still an add command.(By the same logic, LLVM is guilty of the same thing)
Next, and most important point, is that the.class file format is radically different to.dex format. Sure, they're convertible.. Just like ODF can be converted into OOXML.
Apple, IBM, and SAP are members of the OpenJDK project
Are you an Oracle DBA, per chance? Because you defend one of the most hated companies in Java land. You just have to remember how anyone in Java world viewed Oracle's products prior to BEA acquisition.
You might think IBM's involvement in OpenJDK might mean something positive, but IBM is still a very aggressive competitor to Oracle. IBM is pretty much on a all hate relationship with HP and hate+cooperation with Oracle.
Really... Have you ever developed with that crap called J2ME? Android is breath of fresh air in the mobile Java related world. If it weren't for Android, Java on the smartphone would be dead by now.

And Apple fanboys are his children?
free food foundation and the free house foundation
Yeah... Those don't exist anywhere... It's like free knowledge through libraries or something! Communist pigs!
And we know how "integration" features of iOS are removed from OS X.... Oh wait, not removed - added.

Make that, could 999,999 monkeys get a first post.

Patents.
So. After a few days of sympathy for Steve Jobs, we're reminded why Apple is losing their "darling" status in the tech world.

I wonder why prior art is still valid defence in Europe then... Oh, my guess some people are just uninformed.

Hm... Maybe because we actually deliver those applications?

Then they should start working WITH Google instead of just demanding protection moneys using patents.
Flash is almost always fully preloaded, while Java is almost never. I bet you have Java Quick Start turned off...
It their promise in writing? Or are those just empty words?
Have you actually studied the bible? It contradicts itself more than any political figure ever...
