Tell that to Bradley Manning who is sitting a Millitary Jail in Quantico.
Isn't it his own fault for telling people that he had leaked the information? No one forced him into the situation he is now in. He brought it entirely onto himself. He wasn't forced into signing the NDA about not leaking classified work which clearly states the manner in which you will be punished if you break the agreement. If he truly thought this was something he should do, he's going to have to face the consequences that come about with breaking that agreement with the government.
Except that what he was doing does not fall under the exemption. The exemption was that you can jailbreak YOUR OWN phone. This is the same reason why it's legal to break CSS encyption on DVD to use copyrighted clips in fair use works but it is not legal for someone to run a business where by they are stripping CSS off of ripped DVDs and then selling those unencrypted discs.
Both Techdirt and the submitter seem to have reading comprehension problems.
Pretty much every piece of software out these days has a EULA declaiming responsibility for anything that happens with the software, up to and including serious financial harm.
And just like with pretty much every piece of open source software as well?
Because people might have to actually learn to be good programmers instead of chunking out crap code and depending on a highly exploitable VM to make up for the deficiencies in their programs?
I didn't realize that Java and.NET were the only two choices for programmers. It must blow your mind that people were able to do all sorts of programming tasks before either were invented.
Oracle may yet be the end of Java too. Stay tuned.
And they will be met by resounding cheers from the world. The sooner that shit dies, the better. Plus it'll be hilarious to see all the whinging of the Java weenies.
I'm nothing yet you continually respond to me and threaten me with the internet tough guy act.
Oh you better head upstairs from the basement. Your mommy and daddy might be coming home to bring you some more cheetos to shove down your gullet just in time for your next teabagging session.
i was pointing out the ignorance in the grandparent post assuming that anyone that is having fun must be a jerk,
Except that they never made any such assumption. He was talking about a well-defined group of people that almost anyone has met when playing on pub servers. The 12 year old teabaggers are basically there to do nothing but try to ruing peoples fun. He in no way said that everyone who played multiplayer was a jerk. How exactly did you ever get out of elementary school with such poor reading comprehension skills?
No, he just Googled up some random address. He thinks he's being macho and tough especially by posting about his "shooting range and cache of assorted weapons". This kid is some high school dropout who thinks he's hardcore because he goes around "pwning teh n00bs" and teabagging them while his parents are off working to pay for his cheetos and totinos pizza rolls.
you can't win at a game and believe individuals that dominate you must be doing it to have "fun"
No and I never said anything of the sort. Try going back to elementary school and learning some reading skills?
if your fun is ruined, that is your fault. start taking responsibility for you own inadequacies.
I never said my fun was being ruined. I said if someone else is having their "fun" by ruining someone else's enjoyment then they should fuck off. I still stand by that.
you ARE completely pathetic.
Awwww, you still seem to think that I care what you think of me. Maybe you should go back to teabagging in your FPS game to show how hardcore you are to the "n00bs".
so your time is ruined because you claim you don't have as much time as you claim it took someone else to get good enough at a game that you can't beat them...
No, I didn't make any such claims. You seem to be falsely attributing someone else's statement to me. My point still stands, though. If what you consider to be "fun" is to ruin someone else's enjoyment in a game, yes, you don't deserve it.
keep making excuses... you're the jerk.
Whatever, kiddo. I'm sure someone someday will be impressed at your griefing and teabagging skills.
you're completely pathetic.
Awww, I'm just going to start crying over this. Some internet tough guy called me pathetic! I won't be able to sleep because I'll be crying all night long!
Yes, you are correct. If what you consider to be "fun" is being a jerk and ruining everyone else's good time then you really need to evaluate your life. That and move out of your parents basement.

Java is the new COBOL. Get over it.
So basically you will do what amounts to nothing.
Do they expect us to follow it?
Because you're going to do anything beyond whining about it in your parent's basement?
RickJWagner? Yep, it's a shill review.
*facepalm* Is the concept of a joke something new to you?

There are definitely tons of shitty C and C++ programmers. The OO.org developers would be high up on that list.
Are you a programmer, by the way? I mean one who writes code for a living, not because they're in school or in their spare time or whatever.
Yes, I am. On a daily basis I help write and maintain programs in C, C++, Delphi and various bits in x86 and ARM assembly.
Or having to install a VM with tons of security holes.
If you're writing a GUI app, and not using native widgets, you're just proclaiming to the world: "I hate my users!"
Which is why OO.org/LibreOffice need to ditch the hand-rolled widget set and use something better like Qt.
Because people might have to actually learn to be good programmers instead of chunking out crap code and depending on a highly exploitable VM to make up for the deficiencies in their programs?
Why do you assume that cheering for the demise of Java means you want .NET to take over? What's with this false dichotomy? Both are monster fail.

Hahahahahaha. This has got to be the lamest internet tough guy post ever made to Slashdot.

The default is not even limited ammo?
That's not what it is meant by "limited ammo". It means that dropped weapons have less ammo in them versus on a normal setting.
Yet, people wonder why those of us who remember goldeneye and before look down on halo.
No, most people playing Halo are probably having too much fun to care about your nerd rage over Halo.
Yes, you are correct. If what you consider to be "fun" is being a jerk and ruining everyone else's good time then you really need to evaluate your life. That and move out of your parents basement.
