Hopefully the First Circuit court doesn't forget their 1999 ruling in Iacobucci v. Boulter where the upheld the right to record public figures on public property. But according to the article the judges seem to find the reasoning of the city to be quite absurd so that is a good sign.
If I truly believed in the cause, yes. It's just fucking hilarious to watch people like him who make empty threats of rebellion within their comfy lives while actual courageous people in Libya, Egypt, etc actually do something to improve things.
Because he is part of a long string of Slashdotters that threaten rebellion and post Thomas Jefferson quotes about the "Tree of Liberty" and yet nothing EVER comes of it. Why should I assume that he is any different? I'm more than willing to be shown wrong that this time around the armchair general does something other than bitch.
To further add on, for example if you want to work with 8-bit unsigned values you have to start with a 16-bit signed number, cast it down, then you have to do an "& 0xff" to get the actual value you want. Why do I need such needless complications to my code when they could have just gotten off their lazy asses and just created proper unsigned types? Apparently people writing C, C++, etc compilers seem to be perfectly capable of creating unsigned types despite the vague notion of how "complex" it is.
Sorry, but that explanation is bullshit. The leaving out of unsigned types makes code that deals with what are truly unsigned types needlessly more complex. Gosling's explanations sound more like bullshit excuses (waaaaaaah having to implement unsigned math is hard!!) that sound like laziness on the part of the designers. The fact of life is that many things require values that are never negative so having to use 16 bit integers, for example, when one wants only unsigned 8-bit numbers plus the fact that you then usually are needing to do bit manipulations to get at the actual values you want, etc just make Java a pain in the ass to use.
That's about as dumb as saying why do you want a car when you have a washing machine. Unsigned integers have little to do with wanting a "biginteger". For example, when dealing with 8-bit bitmaps and doing pixel manipulation you WANT an unsigned byte because you are not going to have negative values. There are numerous other cases in which you are dealing with 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, etc values that will never be negative and not being able to represent them naturally with an unsigned integer is fucking stupid.
yet another red warning light that the revolution needs to happen and happen soon.
And yet you will do absolutely nothing to make it happen besides bitching and moaning and possibly posting some tired Thomas Jefferson quotes. You just want to sit back and play armchair general from your parent's basement like a pansy.
It's impractical for the people who are obviously trying to drown people in a huge stack of paper so that these emails are much harder to sift through.
That's not what he is talking about. Findings of a jury or of a judge trial is not whether someone is innocent, but whether they are guilty or not guilty of the charges. There is a difference.
Because the FBI is under the DHS and the FBI has for more than a decade or two been involved in piracy cases. That would be why. Just so you know, the DHS doesn't involve just organizations dealing with terrorism or the border.
Yes, let's get rid of all our nuclear plants for higher polluting coal plants and let's destroy vasts amounts of ecosystem so that we can use less efficient solar and wind plants. Brilliant!
Merkel vows to replace nuclear power with alternatives that do not increase greenhouse gases or shackle the economic growth.
Which basically leaves them with no viable alternative. Solar, wind and water can not produce the same amount of energy as nuclear even under perfect theoretical conditions let alone all the extra land required to build these alternatives.
No. This is just another anti-nuclear FUD article from mdsolar. Secondly, if the US did phase it out what exactly is going to replace it? More coal plants? Yeah, that sounds like a brilliant plan but would be an extremely amusing backfire from the anti-nuke nuts campaign.
Agreed. We can't demand that government regulate everything.
Sure, but when Verizon has explicit agreements with the FCC after licensing the spectrum from their LTE services, is it not reasonable to expect the government to hold Verizon to that agreement? Or are you ignorant of the fact that Verizon made this agreement and is flagrantly violating it?
Slashdot Mirror
The problem is that the guy recording them got them on video punching a suspect. Of course they were going to do whatever they can to squelch that.

Especially when I doubt any of these same police officers ask consent of the drivers they record with their dashboard cams.
If I truly believed in the cause, yes. It's just fucking hilarious to watch people like him who make empty threats of rebellion within their comfy lives while actual courageous people in Libya, Egypt, etc actually do something to improve things.
How do you know that for certain?

She could very well be the next president of the United States.
As if the US doesn't already have enough problems. What we need is an even more idiotic person running the show than the last couple of idiots.

Yeah, but you can't download Windows source code nor most of the parts from MacOS, so Linux is a good case study.
Huh? Sure you can.
impractical for whom?

But how does that drive ad clicks for digitizor if one links to the official source? Silly you.
Who cares if it has DRM? The DRM on all current e-book formats are all easily removed.
Don't forget about the numerous easy to Google cases of coal plant explosions.
Yes, let's get rid of all our nuclear plants for higher polluting coal plants and let's destroy vasts amounts of ecosystem so that we can use less efficient solar and wind plants. Brilliant!
Th US will then move to 'clean coal', whatever the hell oxymoron that is, and natural gas.
And then the same idiots like mdsolar will be bawwwing all about that yet they were the people who ended up leading us down that path.
No, I just needed to see "mdsolar writes" to know this submission is just pure FUD.

The first one is correct. It is 'Does' as in plural "John Doe".
Agreed. We can't demand that government regulate everything.

Third party developers might have trouble writing an IDE that is distributable via the App Store, but Apple themselves are under no such restrictions.
So on what systems do you suppose these Apple devs are going to be working on if not something comparable to the current line of Mac OS X machines?
