  1. Re:Google Translate on Is Linux At the End of Its Life Cycle? · · Score: 1

    His comment was actually a literal translation of term "life cycle" into Russian. So, no, there is only one logical translation and interpretation here.

    I believe they had an argument over it with Tannenbaum....

    G1 users are hit by only one of the two. Teh one that is essentially a "local" exploit. The remote exploit (HTC + Flash Lite) only hits Android 2.1 based phones with HTC Sence. Way to screw things up HTC!!!!

    Yeah, but nice restaurants' product is not the amalgamation of ingredients it's the knowledge and skill of the cook.
    The PCB and other components are dirt cheap. Even when manufacturing high quality goods. Other mechanical parts, assembly and packaging is so cheap these days, that you would weep if you knew the real numbers for high quantities.

    It's not even about that... You will not loose braking power and the cushions will deploy if your GPS dies. If you ECU dies, your life is in jeopardy... The car can be a useless pile of metal, for all I care, but my life has to be kept safe.

    Because most of them are brain-dead monkey coders. I am working with a 15 homo erectus* team right now. I mean, if I didn't know they were actually human, I would think they got some of those monkeys they are having problems with to do the job.
    2 people out of 20 people team will be worth something, but the rest are absolute IDIOTS!

    Long rant in short: Indians, if you are not brain dead leave the country so we can find talent(there actually is great talent there), but don't try to present those brain dead baboons as smart humans it hurts you in the long term.

    * - They are definitely NOT sapiens.

    PS: I am already very much hindu-phobic, no chance for rehabilitation. But that stems out of the nepotism and other cultural(corruption) intricacies of indian people.

    You are implicitly agreeing. That's how licenses work... But GPL only enforces itself on you when you are redistributing.

    Console accessories are NEVER sold at a loss... The consoles may be, but all of the accessories are crazy expensive. See Wii Gun - a piece of moulded plastic for $10!!!! Now tell me that it's not a rip-off.

    Oh they should wise up, because their stupid moves are biting them in the general market. Because the geeks that were offended 10 years ago my MS are now high up in the management or at least advising management. Windows Vista is a good example of this. The OS wasn’t exactly that bad, but geeks made it look worse than it was and most listened....

  17. FFS, this is bad... on Apache Declares War On Oracle Over Java · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Any Java developer worth their salt, will know that anything else coming out about Oracle's plans for Java are nothing compared to this. ASF is probably the biggest source of software for Java developers. To the point that most Java software has components from ASF bundled, even if indirectly.
    All of Oracle's Java based software has components from Apache. IBM's Webshpere software has components from Apache. JBoss, Spring, Google's tools... All of them...

    Well... IBM doesn't need to convince any courts of any patents violations. Because IBM can ask each employee to take a granted patent application and beat all of Oracle's employees to death with them :-D And there will still be granted patent applications left over for standbyers to join in mass-murder...

    If they try to aggressively monetise Java, then they will be picking their fight with IBM. And Oracle doesn't want to do that under any circumstances.

  24. Re:Good for us Sellers on Amazon Prevails In State Sales Tax Dispute, Thus Far · · Score: 1

    Nope. You pay the VAT of the country where the the party subject to VAT laws resides. Only companies can be VAT subjects(hold a EU VAT code). So if a person buys something from another country, than the VAT of the country where from (s)he buys the product applies.(Ex: You are an NL resident and buy something from Amazon UK, you will pay UK VAT rate.) Only companies are exempt, since VAT is always reimbursed to VAT subjects.
    BTW: That is the same rule that results in duty paid alcohol and tobacco when travelling inside EU.

    Divisionised big companies tend to have that problem... They declare "Total synergy" in operations, but in reality different cultures in different divisions make it an internally hostile environment.
