But seriously, what was their phone strategy? They weren't developing their own mobile phone. Android was released in 2008. Oracle didn't buy Sun until 2010. I guess Sun had this one: https://www.engadget.com/2006/... They released over 2 years ahead of Google. Over a year ahead of Apple And then nothing.
Were they just planning on nickel and diming platforms for Java usage?
I know it hasn't been an option recently, but the new AMD CPUs, including mobile, look pretty good. Wouldn't it be easier to just switch to them? Or do they have their own equivalent of IME?
What is the value of the FIFA Coins? Is there a line in the TOS that says the Coins have no value? I will laugh if this gets thrown out on a technicality of value of virtual currencies.
Just let student loans be cleared through bankruptcy. End federal loans. The price of college will drop tremendously when no one is able to acquire the money to pay them.
Think of how many people are terrified of math, and struggle with basic arithmetic. Now they're going to make these people take an intro to programming course. They will hate computers as much as they hate math.
Maybe Chicago schools should focus on literacy and arithmetic before they start requiring everyone to program.
But will it make the Android app not suck and take up all available resources, and then some? I've uninstalled Facebook and Messenger, and now my phone runs like it's brand new. On the bright side, I now rarely use Facebook. So I've got that going for me.
With current encryption techniques, nope. And here's the kicker. Let's say it's theoretically possible to do that. Say like master locks. Any bad actor can buy a copy of the phone. They can then do a brute force attack to get a key that will unlock all phones. In theory, it's computationally expensive.
Now imagine someone writes a script that tells them whenever someone accidentally uploads their aws keys into an open source repo in GitHub, and then uses that to spin up a bunch of VPS's. That's a bunch of free computation power. This scam has been used to generate bitcoins. How much do you think people will pay for a key that unlocks every Android phone in the state of New York?
Or here's a simpler one... Bribe or blackmail someone who has access to the master key. It could just be someone in IT with admin access. Or a janitor who can access any room.
I loved SanDisk's Sansa Fuze. I prefer to have a separate device for my music. Unfortunately, all the subsequent versions really sucked. I hope Western Digital creates a worthy successor.
Rep. Lamar Smith will do anything to reduce the money available to study climate change. Don't forget, this is the same guy who sponsored SOPA. I guess he'll do anything billionaires ask of him.

Maybe it's because the price of movies keeps going up and a significant percentage of the population has seen their wages stagnate.
That's an absurd hyperbole.
That seems harsh. Does this prove the part of his post about being scared to disagree?
I thought HTTPS requests only reveal the root domain, not the full URL and not query strings.

Oh good, unpaid volunteers deciding what's allowed and not allowed on the site. I'm sure they'll follow the guidelines, right? RIGHT?
There are dick pics on my phone. Obama can't have my dick pics!

What was so illegal about this software? There seems to be a bunch of options for ripping BLue Ray and DVDs, as well as extracting video files.

Maybe something like this?

I'm so sorry, I couldn't resist. I agree with your general sentiment, but given that you're criticizing someone else's English...
It's you're, not your. And that's for both times you used the word.
A machine was supposed to replace the captain. It went crazy and went to war.

You have the option of CAL or per CPU core.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
All I need is a ZPM. The rest of the needed equipment is in Cheyenne Mountain Complex.
Will somebody please think of the children?
Seriously, what happened with the Fire Phone? Does no one say the idea was horrible?
