No, it was posturing. This is also something I said years ago. Many people did believe that Google was planning "more cities" and was going to be a major telco, buy all sorts of spectrum, etc. Google Fiber has had a moderate impact in the cities it launched in, but overall it's been about as impactful as Verizon FIOS or AT&T Uverse.
How do you see that happening? They've already got the bandwidth sharing deals in place with the existing cell carriers...
Carrier: Google, get your users and your phones off my network. Google: You said they could use your network at our agreed prices! Carrier: I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.
The instant Project-Fi becomes anything more than another one of Google's whimsical dalliances, it'll be quashed.
I said it years ago when this shit started up. Google doesn't have the money to become a national ISP.
The major telcos are worth far, far more than Google is because they have infrastructure in place which simply cannot be replicated today without trillions of dollars or a huge "fuck you, get it done" from Congress. It's not just about last mile costs, it's about the "franchises", crooked politicians, existing lobbyists, landlords on the take, etc. for nearly every city and town in the country.
Hint: They're going to hit similar problems when they try to expand "Project Fi".
If you use code that is GPL, you just don't have any choice but to agree.
Wrong. You have the choice of not agreeing to the GPL, not ever seeing the GPL, ignoring the GPL, etc. and violating copyright law as a result.
The GPL is a copyright license. If you don't agree to it, you NO rights to copy anything.
Mostly correct. US copyright law doesn't invade every aspect of your life or cover every inch of the globe (yet).
glitch! is correct, and he's modded Troll. And I'm modded flamebait. Fucking Slashdot retards.
Unless you can prove they explicitly agreed to the GPL, the allegation here is that they violated copyright law. Copying something covered by the GPL does not implicitly mean you've agreed to the GPL. This is the distinction glitch! and I are pointing out.
You wouldn't really even need a debugger. Just binary code built to the same target. If you can find long enough nuggets that match, baby you've got a stew goin'. From there you can trace back to your own code's source and make sure it's not some trivial shit that everyone writes the same way (or the compiler rewrites the same way).
My butthole quivers at the though of riding with Lyft. Just once glance at the app on my phone is enough to send my anus into a 15 minute winking fest. And should I see that glorious pink carstache? Well... https://youtu.be/0cUS-wEU6FA
Even on land wind turbines are barely worth it because of the constant maintenance costs. You literally have to have men climb up them and oil them every few months. Don't forget to add in the cost of the men who fall off and die.
What's wrong with aging tech? If most airlines are on TPF and TPF works and TPF is still maintained by IBM, what's the problem with TPF? Something being old doesn't mean it's bad. Quite often, the reverse is true. The mainframe is still the king when it comes to reliability and transaction integrity, for example.
While HDDs will always be the main solution in servers while SSDs are at best used as cache, because their electrical vulnerability and their firmware crapup, and lower chance of retreival, make them too high risk.
Our servers run RAID 10 SSDs. If we need more storage we buy bigger/more SSDs.
If the application is on Linux I can use it and so can anyone else who cares. If it's on Windows I can use it and so can anyone else who cares. Windows is ubiquitous, despite its shittiness. Also emulators exist (yes, WINE is an emulator, it's just not emulating hardware). If it's on OSX and only OSX it's likely not worth using. If it's on iOS and only iOS it's likely not worth using. If it's on Android it's likely not worth using but I can use it and so can anyone else who cares. Windows is ubiquitous, despite its shittiness. Also emulators exist.
There's a reason every shitstain Intel chipset I use has its bluetooth, NFC, and wifi radios disabled and, where possible, antennas disconnected. I also kill off the IR port.

What seems to be your boggle, driver?

You are fined one credit for a violation of the Verbal Morality Statute.
Uk does that too, and its the dumbest thing, because the red/yellow is the new green.
Yup. This would be the outcome. And The Simpsons took this to its logical end years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
It was more of an attempt to "shake the tree"

The old "opt-out" mentality? For all you know the PHBs at VMware wipe their asses with toilet paper with the GPL printed on it.
By reading this post you implicitly agree that you're a dumbass.

Name three things the CIA has done that were not related to their clandestine and treasonous attacks against the American citizenry.

Wind is a trash method of generating electricity.

The office has no respect for its duties, the nation, the nations citizens, or itself.
Respect has to be earned.
If you abuse a right, you risk having it taken away from you
No, you don't. Rights aren't privileges. The right to free speech is inalienable.
That's what BIOS (or "UEFI") updates are for.
The OS shouldn't even know of the CPUs microcode.

Snopes would have "debunked" all the stories about the NSA spying on us a few years ago.
Nobody said "muh gunns" but you, you racist, ignorant, bigoted shit.
AC was pointing out that causing a birth defect is degrading the baby, thus if these contaminants never degrade, they can't cause birth defects.
No one believes that shit.
For those who don't know the rest: IBM farmed out all labor to the 3rd world and it the product was delivered in a busted, useless state.
