So basically you say you are disputing what I'm saying and then you go on to say that this same project had daily problems with pointer problems. So in the end you just end up proving what I said.
The title isn't saying that this is the first solar-powered plane to have a successful flight. They are saying this is the first successful flight that this specific solar-powered plane has taken.
There are way too many MBAs out there who think suits trump techs. It's not true. A great company needs both great leaders and great workers.
The GP didn't say that suits trump techs. In fact they said:
Right now Jobs has dozens of people at or near Woz's technical level working for him. Apple needs many techs at this stage.
You seem to be arguing against a point the GP wasn't making.

Also, while Microsoft was correctly slammed by the courts for making it slightly more inconvenient to run competing browsers, there's no problem at all with Apple banning any apps that might possibly interfere with their business models.
Conveniently forgetting that the issue with Microsoft was leveraging a monopoly in order to do so? What monopoly does Apple have on smart phones?
Buffer overflows are caused by lazy and stupid programmers abusing a simple an elegant language that has all the power you need to prevent buffer overflows by simply taking the small step to bounds check your buffer as you proceed to willy-nilly stuff data into it.
So according to this logic every C programmer must be lazy and stupid because you can not find a single, non-trivial program or OS kernel, etc that has been immune from even a single buffer overflow or null pointer problem.
Amusingly enough, the interpreters/compilers for all those languages were originally developed in C and/or C++.
It would have been rather hard for the original Lisp compiler to be written in C since it predates the existence of C by almost a decade. Not to mention how for a decade or more that Lisp was pretty much running only on Lisp machines that were built to natively execute Lisp code. And most of the original Smalltalk implementations were also not written in C.
Person A gambles away every penny he has, aided by the con game being run by the online poker service.
What con game? How exactly is person A being defrauded of money? Losing all your money by voluntarily playing poker on a site isn't the same as being defrauded off your money.
But the company in question packaged the original movie along with a "sanitized" version.
So what? How does that change the fact that they still need permission to create the sanitized version? Such a work wouldn't fall under fair use. This seems to be the same bullshit logic that people used to claim about downloading game ROMs. You don't just get to download ROMs off the internet just because you may own the original game.
Then again, I suppose if Hollyweird can sue someone for building a custom version of a movie with the swearing and naughty bits bleeped out, while including a copy of the original version of the movie to make sure the end consumer has actually purchased a license, who knows?
Except just because you have a license to the movie doesn't mean you get to do with it as you please. Fair Use wouldn't cover creating a whole new version of the movie with parts cut out and swearing bleeped.

I heard a story a few days where Parents lost custody of their kid because, "They were teaching the child that the government can not be trusted."
Because prisonplanet and infowars are news websites of great repute. Oh wait...
I suppose simply unfriending her would not be feasible. (Maybe she'd take away his computer if he tried or punish him or something)
The kid lives with his grandmother and the mother has no custodial rights. That would make it a little hard for the mom to punish him in any way.
A no contact order against your mom? How exactly is that supposed to work?
The same way any sort of restraining order works?
Well then you should be even more worried about sticking something in her orifices.
Did you read my post?
Would you really want to stick your fingers up some random persons ass?
I'm pretty sure that your girlfriend isn't just some random person.

dayofswords was talking about Qubes. Unfortunately timothy was a moron and posted together two different stories.

I simply don't care about the wealth disparity since I understand pretty well how that 5% got 60% of the wealth.
They inherited it from their parents or grandparents who actually did all the work to earn it?
Duh? Is this really a surprise for anyone that Google would do so? Really?
So Google makes it's revenue by catering to hackers? You're joking right?

Except that the data that Google has is probably not even remotely comparable to the data set that this guy had.
If you use Python, Java or whatever you are too far away from the metal to do the interesting stuff.
That's because they are specifically designed to abstract away the computer hardware.

why they didnt sue them until this point ?
Because google wasn't trying to a sell the data they've spidered from facebook?
How is selling ~300,000 units in one day disappointing?
Speakeasy is an 11 year old company. What was being claimed was that some new companies were going to come along. This hasn't happened.
