A lot of the new tablet offerings are Android and they have very impressive specs. I suspect that by next Christmas you'll see a good mixture of IPad and Android systems. I was going to buy an IPad but, after looking at the Samsung Galaxy I decided that there may be good alternatives to the IPad.
I'll be Google has been working on alternatives to Android, just in case, they lose partly or fully to Oracle. It will set them back, some, but they have built a reputation for being able to build a good mobile OS and that will help them in the next round. Besides, they have a very good case that many of the Oracle patents are invalid due to prior use or obviousness.
I wonder if this will help the next person they sue in court. When they come up with their $80,000 per title claim, a good lawyer would simply refer to the amount they felt was fair to pay the artists themselves. IANAL.
So what this means, is that if you have an IPhone, they can search it. If you have a IPod, it cannot be searched since it is not a phone. If you have an IPad with phone support, it can be searched, but an IPad without it cannot. IANAL and I didn't RTFA, but this is what this ruling seems like to me.
Around here, there is quite a lot of popular support for lifetime driving bans for the first offense. This might be an overkill, but I'd support that for 2nd one.
One of the things that surprises me about the states is the willingness of people to hang others as long as they don't think they could ever be affected. I suppose it's an old tradition, but I think we should have reasonable penalties for actions which endanger or hurt others. I think the penalty for drunk driving should be high since it does threaten the lives of others, but a lifetime ban on mobility basically makes that person a welfare case and a burden on society.
You would achieve more by allowing limited driving (to work) in a clearly marked car only. And, perhaps, the ability to work that restriction off with a year of community service. Everyone benefits and the offender feels the penalty.
It seems there is choice in Europe. I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but you have a pretty wide choice of using a cell phone subsidized by the provider or an unlocked phone.
The word everyone is looking for would be obsolescent. Just because a newer processor comes out, it doesn't mean that the old ones stop working en masse.
The statement isn't even true, however. Not as long as the older gear is still useful and the inconvenience of replacement outweighs the advantages.
How true. I've still go a lot of/. comments to write using my existing hardware.
However, having recently upgraded from Intel Core2 E8300 to an AMD Athlon II X4 640 (and corresonding mb), I can say that it is still very much worth the money to do so.
What new technology, chips, etc do you see coming?
I just switch back to AMD (Athlon X4 640). The mb and processor cost about what the Intel processor with similar speed would have cost without the mb. YMMV.
We've found that since most transactions aren't cpu bound, increasing the number of cores, and, therefore the number of transactions which can be simultaneously processed, increased throughput, at least when you're talking about 700 connections (of which probably 100-200 are active). Would love to hear what others are experiencing.
Personally, I can't believe that you can patent using the best method for a message. Sheesh, if this were the car world, they would have patented using the best tool to mount a tire. It just gets weirder and weirder.
I know that/. no longer caters to a technically literate crowd but you take the cake. I feel stupider for even bothering to reply to you.
Don't lose too much sleep over those kinds of posters. I know one in person and they are very simple people who try to compensate for lack of knowledge with one-line derogatory statements against anything they don't understand.
Really...isn't it time to rethink all of these different, but same (except for the whacko Python,PHP stuff) and come up with one standard language? Extend it with different libraries if you want
Sounds like a good idea... in fact, it sounds like C extended with C++ extended with GTK+.
C/C++ is low enough for OS's and drivers and extendable enough for GUI's and web based libraries.
I've used java for the lat 11 years and it's good for cross platform, but in retrospect I wish I'd done the application in C++ and GTK. YMMV.

Hey, all I care is copy/paste in Chrome seems to actually work!
Yes!!! I just noticed that, too. Thank you /.
There was one Android nasty just after Christmas

That was perfect. ROTFLMAO.
I wonder if this will help the next person they sue in court. When they come up with their $80,000 per title claim, a good lawyer would simply refer to the amount they felt was fair to pay the artists themselves. IANAL.
Using their own valuations presented in other court cases, they'd be looking at a settlement in the billions of dollars.
Yep, 2.4 billion, if you go by 8,000 per title or 24 billion if you use the 80,000 value, to be exact.

Linux really IS communist!
Wait, this just in .... the soviet union and the communist block have disbanded ...
Personally, I think it's just a rumor.
In the real world ( read as 'unix world' ) ...
As opposed to the Windows world where every release is considered experimental? ;-)
Okay, I can see that it is immoral and perhaps a misdemeanor, but a felony with a possible jail sentence of 5 years? Sheesh.
It seems there is choice in Europe. I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but you have a pretty wide choice of using a cell phone subsidized by the provider or an unlocked phone.
I wonder how it is in Asia, Russia and so on ...

Seems like more than speculation to me.

What you are describing is done by the java virtual machine (JVM).
