Let's face it, no review by anyone that you do not personally know is worth anything.
Professional reviewers 'do it for the money' and can therefore be either bought, or just recognised and given preferential treatment.
Reviews by members of the public can be faked. Anyone can sign up and claim anything.
Some people just love to complain, and will do so in every forum at every chance. Negative reviews will always dominate. (This very article is a negative review, in a way). Satisfied customers have no reason to leave a review.
1) They started the Android project before Java was open-sourced.
2) Sun has slightly different licenses for desktop and mobile use. The desktop license is GPL with a classpath exception (letting you write non-GPL java apps to run on the virtual machine), the mobile license is straight GPL. Google didn't want to force developers to only produce GPL apps for Android, so they could not use this.
Unfortunately, since you have failed to provide any references to external corroboration, details of specific events, or anything except vague waffle, you have been assigned to the 80% BS side.
Really? because I see very different things in that terribly written report.
Only 11 per cent of murder victims were killed with a firearm, the lowest proportion on record Shooting deaths peaked in 1993, when 29 per cent of victims were killed by a gun. The statistics show homicide rates have fallen by a third in the last six years.
That would seem to imply that gun killings have dropped, taking the overall number of killing down with it. This has of course changed the proportion, but that's irrelevant.
So, the dirty fix is to always request a random bogus sub-domain before making the real request?
That way you cause your own cache miss, and the dns server goes away and updates itself again, but this time the hacker isn't busy bombarding it with fake responses.
Obviously not a scalable solution, since it would kill dns caching.
This also makes me wonder if widespread attacks of this kind would be self-defeating. hackers x, y, and z are busy attacking the same server, and every cache miss is wiping out the last successful poisioning.
So this is just like allocating a single object, and re-using it.
That's called a singleton, a pattern that is gaining a status as an 'anti-pattern' - i.e one that should be carefully considered and probably avoided unless you know why.
Take your nice C program, with it's single global buffer, and try and run two execution threads through it in parallel. But before you do, tell me, so I don't get on a Plane that day.
Unfortunately he also skimped on the fundamentals of heat transfer. As we get hot, we perspire. This thin film of liquid absorbs heat from the skin and air and turns to vapour, transferring that heat away from us.
In a stillsuit, where does that heat go? If perspiration is allowed to evaporate, the suit has to somehow cool the resulting vapour to reclaim the water. If the perspiration is not allowed to evaporate then the skin is not cooled, so you need to apply some other cooling method.
Actually, having just come back from China, I can tell you that they have a booming domestic car and motorbike industry. There were several Chinese car makes I have never heard of, and they seemed to make up about half the number of vehicles on the road.
What weapons?? Take my house and just two of my friends. In our combined houses we have:
Throwing knives - one friend is a black-belt, I think he made them himself.
Gun - Other friend is a a pistol shooter.
Bow and Arrows - I foolishly took up archery a year ago, slacked off after three months, still have the gear.
Flammable liquids - we all have petrol cans
Paint - yup, we all have that
Slingshots - Friend's kids have one I bet
Rocks - Seriously? I have a garden path full of them.
Hold on, you think that if you searched any random six suburban houses you wouldn't find at least one hunting rifle, lot of kitchen knives, lawnmower petrol, house paint, kids toys, and stones in the garden??
What, do you live in a rubber walled room or something?
I have a couple of power strips under the desk, and the charger's leads all come up between the desk and the wall, and then through a small Velcro loop (attached to my in-tray). This gives me a 'charging medusa' and I just extend out whatever lead I need. The weight of the leads hanging down the back of the desk means gravity self-retracts the connector back down to the loop when not in use.
A decision which relied on the premise that the software was licensed, not sold, which in turn was very much against the earlier Vernor vs AutoCad decision.
Basically, it's a mess, and sooner or later it will have to be sorted out by a higher court.
To my knowledge Psystar are not making copies, and are therefore not in breach of Copyright. They are re-selling the legal copy they bought as part of a bundle.
They may be in breach of the EULA for installing it on a non Apple branded machine, I've never read the EULA, so I don't know.
Copyright is *the exclusive right to make copies*. As long as you are not making a copy, that right has no impact on you.
Software developers attempt to make a lot of the 'installing is copying' claim in order to make licensing stick, and I'm unsure what case law there is to support or refute that claim.
Logging to a disk file might work when your application is running on a single box, but when you have something that runs on a pool of a hundred servers distributed across three different data centres, and you get a bug report that customer x "was using the service just after lunch yesterday and it did something funny", you're going to have fun trying to find the log file.
Any alternative that supplies electricity. Off the top of my head:
- portable generators
- jumper cables
- auxiliary battery packs
Most likely would seem to be a trailer with a generator arrangement that they can deliver it to where ever you are, and you then rent per hour / day / whatever until you return it.
That it isn't an energy source is a point worth repeating, because people can forget it. However, it is an energy storage method which can reduce our needs for base-load power generation.
Imagine if this was successfully and safely scaled up to powering your house as well as your car. Now, you can run your power grid off solar and wind power because the intermittent supply would not affect you. You can also load balance power demands much more easily and prevent brown-outs, and in the event of a long term power supply issue people can ship in stored gas to keep the lights on.
Water injection is used in some internal combustion systems to improve efficiency, but is actually operating as a coolant rather than as a combustion agent.
Reclaiming lost energy from the brakes is plausible, and I believe most hybrids do exactly that, however it's a fine balance as the weight of the reclamation system can often negate the energy saving.
Unfortunately, what the USA is actually doing is encouraging the collapse of the NPT. Under the NPT Iran has a complete right to produce nuclear fuel and operate nuclear power stations, but that is exactly what they are being told they won't be allowed to do. At this rate they will have no reason not to simply withdraw.

Photons carry all their mass as energy (m=e/c^2).
Two reasons they didn't use a JVM for Android:
1) They started the Android project before Java was open-sourced.
2) Sun has slightly different licenses for desktop and mobile use. The desktop license is GPL with a classpath exception (letting you write non-GPL java apps to run on the virtual machine), the mobile license is straight GPL.

The right answer is better education. Educate people about the importance of scientific, repeatable, reviewed studies.

I thought it was a reference Quarantine (Greg Egan).
Now imagine every video camera in the word has drm on the hardware to prevent this.
And every TV has drm to prevent you playing it.
That is what they are now aiming for.

A legal victory in an anticompetitive business practices suit is unlikely to have an impact on copyright law.

Most likely would seem to be a trailer with a generator arrangement that they can deliver it to where ever you are, and you then rent per hour / day / whatever until you return it.
I'd go for option 3, a small trailer with a diesel generator in it towed behind the car. Handy place to put extra luggage as well.
