Universes can most likely not just spring up for no reason.
Why not? Why does something HAVE to have a reason? If it does have a reason, what makes you think you have the ability to even understand it? If you don't understand something, do you just sit there and say it must have been God? What is the reason for there being a God? I'm just asking because throughout human history people have always explained things they cannot explain as God's doing. However, to date, they have ALWAYS been wrong. There has always been a scientific reason.
Even if there's a God, what makes you think you could possibly understand such a being in any way? It would be completely beyond your comprehension. This is what baffles me about religion, is this notion that humans are somehow capable of understanding something that is omnipotent and omniscient. It's just a ridiculous notion. So going to church, praying, etc. seems utterly meaningless to me even if you believe in a supreme being because you could not possibly understand what he wants from you. In fact, why would he want anything from you? If he wanted you to do something, he would just make you do it. Do you think God has such an ego problem that he needs you to pray to him? These notions are so unbelievably ridiculous to me that I cannot fathom how anyone can make such logical leaps. It requires you to completely turn off all of your critical thinking skills.
Then explain why half of all Android devices are still on Gingerbread or earlier. Seriously, this problem is so well known it's just a truism at this point. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab that will never make it to ICS or later because Samsung doesn't give a shit.
Android phones rarely get updated. About half of all Android users are still running 2.3 or earlier and the uptake for new versions is glacially slow. This makes android extremely vulnerable. If someone discovers an attack for 2.x, it's game over for millions of phones. Android also has a leaky walled garden that allows users to easily bypass the Google Play store and go to any market place they may choose. Hell, it's not even unusual to find infected apps in the official Google Play store.
Apparently you have no idea what Keynesian economics actually is. The austerity programs in Europe are the antithesis of what Keynes would recommend and their economies have been in the shitter in a big way.
I've never seen an intern work on anything of any significance. Certainly nothing worth $6k a month. That said, I think interns should be paid...just not anywhere near this much. They aren't worth it.
Who decides whether you should be able to have weapons like Stinger missiles? See, I'm guessing your neighbors might have an issue with you having such weaponry.
99.99% of all Java is server-side Java. Chances are, that the majority of the websites you visit are running Java server-side. For example, Google, Ebay, and Amazon all run server-side Java. Almost every bank and insurance company runs on Java. It's very ubiquitous. There's nothing wrong with Java except when run client-side but I would simplify it to say that any client-side browser product that isn't Javascript is potentially dangerous. In fact, I can guarantee it because every one of these technologies has been hacked in the past multiple times.
I think my post made it clear that I understand why Java is attacked by hackers so 90% of your post is pointless. And for the record, I don't "love Java". I never have even when it was new. I write Java for a living and it makes me a shitload of money doing so.
And please spare me this notion that being able to run anywhere is some kind of flaw. It has nothing to do with it. Client side execution by your browser is the significant variable.
ROFL...are you fucking serious? You can find a lot more security holes in C and C++ than you can in Java. The ONLY reason you see all this shit about Java security is that Java can be run client-side via a simple download by your browser. There are very very few languages that allow this and I can guarantee you that any other ones are thoroughly explored for security holes by hackers. Ever heard of Flash? They've had many many security holes too but that's because they are a target. There are no safe fucking languages. Get that ridiculous idea out of your head. It's about the language's ecosystem and when that ecosystem ends up getting quietly download by somebodies browser, it's gonna get fucking raped by every hacker worth a shit.
I have to say that I'm pretty shocked about how utterly clueless the/. community is about this kind of technology. Sad stuff.
lol...you seem to be working under the false assumption that you have the same rights as the President. While he may not be a king, he does have more rights than your typical citizen (as stated by the Constitution). There is also nothing in the Constitution that says your right to protection is equal to his.

Do you know what they do with the data they scan? If not, then how can you say the are doing evil?
It's sandboxed like Chrome: http://www.webmonkey.com/2012/06/flash-firefox-play-together-in-new-security-sandbox/

Are you seriously this big of an idiot?

Except for the fact that infected apps are found in the Google Play store as well.

It's the app that crashes, not the OS but lets not let facts get in the way...

Actually, they won't do it because if they do it for one company then every company will be asking for exceptions for one reason or another.
If "IT is a cost center" then you're not doing it right.
Sorry, I meant Stinger missiles.
Who decides whether you should be able to have weapons like Stinger missiles? See, I'm guessing your neighbors might have an issue with you having such weaponry.
And who decides whether it's appropriate for you to be able to defend yourself with said class of arms?
You way underestimate the impact of CDSs and the crash. You can start by reading here:

CDSs helped fuel the MBS craze. MBSs would still have been a problem but CDSs greatly magnified that problem.

I hope you support all of the DHS protocols like frisking 90 year old ladies with colostomy bags at the airport.
Nimrod is fucking ugly as shit. I'd rather use Java any day.
I dunno...I hear Android and Samsung all the fucking time.
The President has guys on the top of his house with Sidewinder missiles. So, based on what you said, you should be able to have them too. Correct?
So it should be ok for you to own any kind of weapon you deem necessary?

I'm guessing that it's because the CDC keeps stats on causes of death and injury.
