The JRE installer is 16 megabytes. That really, really isn't a big complicated code base.
1. The offline installer is at least twice that
2. Compiled size is not a reliable predictor of codebase size/complexity - a 'Hello World' in a managed language will compile to more code than it would in C, and that's before you start talking about libraries.
I am going to fucking kill Java! I destroyed Larry Ellison before and I will do it again! (throws chair across room)
Posting again because I messed up the previous post, sent from a smartphone (my first/. post ever from one).
You mean MS knows what I've bought from the MS App Store? That's terrible! I mean, what if Google knew what you bought from Google Play, or worse, if Apple knew what you bought from iTunes?
So in reality us Brits have to be able to work with either system and be able to convert between them.
Not really, you are only working with a small subset of imperial units. I bet that you don't even know how to convert between a Dutch and a French inch.
We don't need to - everyone knows the British inch is best:)
You do know goodmanj only described the apogee without making a single comment about the shape of the orbit? You see, 99.999999% of readers will know what he meant, but you have to show off the fact you know high-school maths to boost your ego to over-inflated levels. Hence the brain asplode.
This is hardly surprising, with Android smartphones, tablets and chromebooks as well as Google web apps if you've invested in that Google platform - and so many people have - then you probably don't *need* Windows. Not to mention creating a Windows RT tablet doesn't exactly do much in terms of integration for existing Windows customers (that is non-Metro UI users).
Looks like some MS employees have modpoints - this is about as far from Troll as its possible to get.

Ballmer? Is that you? :P

It's an $800 sub-par tablet
My Nexus 7 cost £200 (~$300). And I've yet to find anything it can't do (within reason).
a complete list of all the hardware devices, including make, model and driver version
How else would it know which drivers to offer?
every software package installed on your computer
MS software I can understand (again, how else would it know what updates to offer), but I seriously doubt it'll include non-MS packages.
Proprietary software is unethical because it infringes on your right to use and modify software as you see fit.
I'm all for open source, but I wouldn't file this as an inalienable right.
There used to be http://del.icio.us/ but it seems they've changed it.

Cation - Positive ion
Anion - Negative ion
I think that's the right way round.
Except they heard you had taxes, so they got taxes for your taxes too.
I already pay enough tax tax at the petrol pumps - no need to pay any more.
Where's ptrace on Windows?
Einstein said God doesn't shoot dice, but does he shoot pool?
Maybe he does; never actually asked him.

Do you really think there's an API for asking a plugin if it's playing audio? And if there is, do you think the plugin will always tell the truth?
What you should be doing is walking right through without getting scanned or patted down. Ignore the TSA completely.

The one spot it ends up landing happens to be on the multi million dollar mars rover. That would be something.
I just got this mental image of God being complemented on an awesome trick shot :)

They can't retroactively do it either.
The hell they can't! They're the key-holders, they can up-end the situation any second t hey choose.
They won't, even if they could. They don't need to - you've already bought Surface and Windows.
the one is actually easy to implement
For HTML5 audio/video, yes. For Flash/Silverlight, not necessarily.
Unless there was some kind of white list you could add them to - but maybe that is overcomplicating the situation...
Not really - it'd be the same as scripting whitelists et al.
It's the only vuln linked to as far as I can see.
And how many more iPhone exist now compared to 2008?
they had the largest credit card breach in history. Their reaction? "have some free games".

I always wonder something; Do you guys ever get bored being so repetitively shrill?
