Getting the product to someone who is willing to buy wasn't "negligible value" until fairly recently. If it was so damned easy to do, it would be ripe for undercutting.
I know, I know, this is Slashdot and making money is evil. Save it.
Ah, so all we have to do is ignore the data points that contradict your prejudice and you're still right. Excellent! Did you work on the team that determined vaccines cause autism?
What does "our" mean in your context? Is there some special subset of people who were allowed on that aren't capable of making money now? Cause I don't want to disillusion you or anything, but you can't mean "geeks" cause a fuck of a lot of us are making a ton of money from "your" web.
Yeah, that Android platform is barely working at all, huh? Might as well fold up the tent. Stupid execs.
Or maybe you're trying the old "if it doesn't work for everything, it doesn't work for anything" ploy? I can't tell, I have a hard time deciphering which particular stupidity you people get up to at any given point.
It's a group of people working to destroy the platform for a misguided sense of vengeance. The 14 year olds will be happy for free games. People who want interesting new experiences will watch the platform go the way of the dreamcast.
It helps that Sony makes about the shittiest interfaces out there. I'm not sure if they selected humans for their user trials, or maybe just skipped them altogether.
Don't take it so personally - particularly since you didn't evangelize. I was just responding to the query that seemed to form the core of your post, in general form.
Thanks for insulting me in reply, though. That really tells me a lot about you.
Maybe you should assume your fix wasn't correct? It's kinda presumptuous to jump to the conclusion that some other problem must be happening when it's your work coming back to you as insufficient.
It's a good rule to exhaust the possibility that you fucked up first.
Not to be rude, but since you aren't a native English speaker, you aren't really equipped to decide what fits the language better. I was going to reply to an earlier response of yours asking if English was a second language, because thinking that a non-word flows better than an actual word is a pretty good sign. I see now I would have been correct.
Slashdot Mirror
Watch The Wrath of Kahn. I don't even like Star Trek and I remember this.
.jar files are loosely based on .app packages only in that both encapsulate directory structures.
I guess "being used" as an objective conflicts too deeply with "evangelize my ideals" huh?
You know, if it were a patent, Slashdotters would be crying about how it's not different because it's "on a computer" but once it's a crime...
Funny, that.

What part of paying with a credit card in a store doesn't reveal your identity, location, and time of purchase?
Really stupid people bitch about stuff like that.

You realize of course this story is about a man who very likely murdered someone.
Are we so privacy-crazy that we now take a murderer's side?
Good luck organizing it. You won't find enough people to bother with it, since most people aren't flaming assholes.

Where do morals figured into this?

It doesn't matter if people are won over. It's not like the anti-patent people are going to be swayed.
That doesn't mean it isn't fun to point their stupidity out to them, though.
Just pointing out a logical truism. No need to make assumptions about my life.

That's... well, to hell with being polite, that's just crazytalk.
Jimbo needs more money, man, you know... he's gotta feed the monkey.
Didn't that occur to you, man?
Not to cast aspersions on your wife, but logically speaking, until she's dead you haven't disproven anything.
I tried to text you to warn you that might happen, but my Android routed the SMS to your mother instead.

You brave anonymous coward.

On the one hand, it's certainly true that science is overwhelmingly portrayed in mainstream American society as evil
Where do you get this idea? I'm not going to say I'm the most mainstream guy around but I don't have that impression at all.
