What exactly was all that original in the design of Java? It borrowed the syntax of C and C++, took the virtual machine idea from Smalltalk and the bytecode idea from p-code.
Oh and the EU will definitely need to work out the branding rights to a fart app. We want them to make sure that everyone knows that only a genuine fart app can be labeled as a "fart" app. We don't want the consumers to be confused by people passing off imitation "phart" apps as the real thing.
Exactly. The only people who are whining about stuff like this are the idiots making whole websites entirely in flash or who don't know how to follow best practices for web development. Making a website accessible to text readers, etc is extremely trivial if you follow web standards.
How do you have to pay more? If you are designing your webpages and using CSS2 correctly, you have no additional work. Your webpage should degrade gracefully and there are no problems.
Will we all be stuck with text only websites, which is what Section 508 virtually sets up as the ideal.
No. It's called graceful degradation. You can have all the fancy shit you want but your webpage should be a coded in a way that if certain features aren't available that it gracefully degrades into a simpler form.
Is this ignoring the fact that the vast majority of the Linux kernel development is done by paid programmers? Or that many of the KDE developers are paid by Nokia? Or how GNOME is mostly developed by people funded from Novell? Or how a lot of GCC and libc development is funded by IBM and Red Hat, etc? The fact of the matter is that the core parts of the GNU and Linux projects are being worked on by people paid to do so by corporations. They aren't doing it for free.
The fault lies squarely with the manufacturers of the equipment.
The fault lies with the people who were forced by the US government to put backdoors into their products so that the government can spy on people? lolwut?
and we might actually have a "small government" party post-Reagan!
Until they realize that they will then lose all those government services (Medicare, Medicaid, etc) that they use that they want the government to keep its hands off of.
Huh? I was only quoting the AC's own article which he used as backing for his statements. I'm sorry if it says something you don't like, but I wasn't the one who drug it up.
Wow such an insightful statement. Do you have any other tautologies you would like to share? How does this do anything to contradict my point? If some people kill themselves due to emotional issues due to such trauma, one can not say that "being alive is better than being dead". It may be true for some, but not all.
On the other hand, everyone who gets murdered becomes dead as a result, no exceptions, no choice in the matter.
And as such, murder is prosecuted more harshly than rape or sexual abuse. In the case of the England, the sentence is mandatory life in prison.

This is the reason God gave me the right to own a firearm.
Really? Care to quote that section of the bible to us?
So basically really nothing original at all nor anything invented by the Java developers. Thanks for clearing that up.

Well we don't want to see the once proud, but now impoverished, Fart app industry of the EU be killed off for good by this move.

The Joy of Cooking cookbook would like a word with you...
Except that, like in many cases of drunk driving, the person who dies isn't the reckless (or drunk) driver it's the person they hit.
Oops. Didn't notice the name. Can't believe I fell for him.

Which isn't even remotely the same as his claim of it being "moved to a less-friendly license". The code is still CDDL. Nothing has change.

The US isn't guilty of enabling Iran. The US is guilty of intrusive policy.
No, it's actually guilty of both. Iran wouldn't have this capability without the intrusive policy pushed by the government.
It's not that we don't trust our government
You would be wrong.
or moved to a less-friendly license (OpenSolaris anyone?).
Huh? OpenSolaris is still under the CDDL. From whose ass did you pull this shit?
The good news: Such as catastrophe just be enough to take Jersey Shore off the air.
But then all the guidos and guido-wannabes will off themselves. Hmm... Okay. Proceed.

Or a Carlos Mencia standup act.
Come on, slashdot used to be smarter than this.

In fairness, that's not all GOP'ers, it's primarily those that come from the bible belt or need their electoral votes in Presidential elections.
Yes, but they are the most vocal and active of the party and are routinely referred to as the "base" of the party.
They haven't done much,
You mean nothing. What little they have shrunk has been far outweighed by their gross spending.
hence the rise of the Tea Party.
Tthe party of "keep the government out of my Medicare!!", right?
No, not at all. In fact there is quite a spectrum in between your false dichotomy.
Yes, and many don't.

Considering how many people who have been through such trauma commit suicide, one would tend to find that to not be a universal truth.
