What is telling is that they are hiding "upgrade" to Windows 10 in a KB number.
Why don't they simply have an entry in Windows Update that says: "Upgrade to Windows 10"? If someone hides it, MS should respect it and stop un-hiding it.
The fact that they hide it in what looks like a normal update instead of being upfront about it says a lot about MS and their lack of confidence in 10.
Installing patches has always been dodgy with Windows, but now it is also time consuming, having to search third party sites to find out what it really does.
Proposed amendment have to come from Congress and get a 2/3 vote from both houses before it can go to the states.
Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate
They supply communication devices, not the networks. They aren't by any rational definition a common carrier company. I don't see how that law applies to Apple.
Almost all code is Turing complete. A Turing machine is a mathematical expression, therefore code is mathematics.
If you don't like Turing machines, the Lambda Calculus is equivalent to a Turing machine. That is math as well.
You can pull out anything in code and it can be pointed out which mathematical category it is expressed in. Relations are math. trees, lists, hashtables and graphs are math, objects are math, neural networks are math, conditional expressions are math. Code is math.
Does your definition of math end with arithmetic or something?
It is the President's constitutional duty to bring forward a candidate when a vacancy occurs. As much as it pains you, Obama easily won two elections and is the President for 11 more months and there is a vacancy on the court.
The Senate has zero constitutional authority to tell the President that he can not or should not nominate someone.
I see reading comprehension is still not a strong suit of the teabagger set.
Read what I was responding to.
Also, there isn't a GOP Presidential candidate that polls better than either of the two Democrat candidates. Trump can't even get 1/3 of the GOP which is less than 1/3 of the general electorate.
No, I don't belong to either party as they are both evil in pretty much the same ways, except the GOP decided that it is the governments job to do nothing but block progress. These dim bulbs came out immediately and said they will block the nominee, despite not knowing who it is. That is indefensible and shows a dereliction of duty. Obama could come out and say that the sky is blue and those teabagger morons in Congress would immediately pass a resolution saying it is green.
The hard core, bureaucratic Java devs that I know hate the addition of lambdas and proper closure support. I kind of agree with them, the lambda implementation is massively complex, a pure testament to the suck that is Java.
Auto-completion is not a feature of any language. It is a feature of IDE's. I am not shocked you don't know the difference between a language and an IDE, it is a common trait among Java "devs".
Java is the only language I know that requires an IDE to be at least somewhat productive.
The fact that Java require 10-15 times the LOC that proper languages need is something that Java zealots never seem to grasp.
They are as simple as it can be, you must really love java if you are looking for complexity in a method call and calling it ugly if it isn't complex. The semi-colon in the Java example offers no more clarity than omitting it. Even the one Ruby example with no parenthesis is very clear and concise.
The fact that a comma at the end of the first line is all the visual clue one needs to know that it continues on the next line, whether it is a person or a compiler.
The only time they are really needed is when putting multiple expressions on one line, then it offers non-redundant clues.
JRuby is Ruby implemented in Java. It uses Java threads. The difference between Java threads and JRuby threads is that you don't typically create an entire class for the thread to run it. You just create it and run it wherever.
It is the same syntax and usage as Ruby threads, but behind the scenes it is a Java thread that runs it.
Ruby still uses green threads, but it does support fork() on operating systems that support it, and that has zero bearing on JRuby.
Or am I missing a deeper point?
Yeah, I agree, the OP went a little too far, but only a little.
Scala uses the same byte sizes as Java but it doesn't have to.
Well, JRuby doesn't have a character type but an ascii string of 1 character is 1 byte and can go up to whatever size is needed to hold the codepoint, so it is not the JVM demanding that characters are 16 bits, it can obviously be worked around.
Sotomayor actually had experience in a courtroom as both a lawyer and judge. You might disagree with her positions but she is unquestionably qualified to be on the court. Those are two different things. I disagree with Roberts, a lot, but he is also unquestionable qualified. Your biases are blinding you.
Myers was a corporate attorney with no judicial experience and barely any courtroom experience. Bush might as well nominated someone that barely passed the bar a week earlier, their qualifications are close to being equal.
She was as qualified to be on SCOTUS as "Brownie" was to head FEMA. Their only qualification? Buddies of Bush.
She was withdrawn after Senators from both sides of the aisle pointed out that she was completely unqualified.

Huh?
In OpenSuse using the binary from Oracle gives no issues. It installs in usr/bin/java and unlike Windows, I never need to change JAVA_HOME because there are softlinks in usr/java/latest to the most recent java version, so I never have to futz with update_alternatives unless I need an older version, which I never do.
I am not sure what weird thing you are doing to get the behavior you describe but that is not the case with any version of opensuse I have ever used and I have used every version from 9.x to Leap 42.1.
Formally sign a user agreement? You mean clicking a checkbox on the download page? I am not sure that qualifies as formally signing anything.
I don't know Kotlin but not using ; in a language like Ruby is no worse in regards to multiline expressions(there are no statements in ruby) over java.
some_method(a,b, c)
or if you like:
some_method a,b, c
No whitespace issues or ambiguity.
Compared that to Java:
someMethod(int a, int b, int c);
Is the semi-colon really that meaningful?
Using a semi-colon or anything to denote the end of a statement or expression is largely redundant. It is weird that programmers get hung up on non-issues like this.
The JVM is king in the server room and will likely be that way for a very long time.
I hate Java the language, it is a verbose pile of feces and it provides very little type-safety for all that verbosity compared to Scala. Ocaml or Haskell. The fact that Scala and JRuby exists makes working in the JVM environment very nice, although I prefer Erlang in a server environment for most things since its concurrency is better than anything the JVM can offer.
I am not sure Kotlin offers any advantages over Scala but the more solid non-Java languages for the JVM the better it will be for everyone.
1. The citizens have no say in who gets placed on the Supreme Court. Read the Constitution.
2. The citizens did have influence on the process, when they overwhelmingly(by the only thing that matters, the Electoral College) elected Obama, twice.
3. Obama would be in dereliction of duty if he did not being forward a nominee. Again, read the Constitution. He has 11 months to go in his term. It is his Constitutional responsibility to nominate a successor.
It is amazing how many right winger are obsessed with the Constitution but don't understand it and are more than happy to have it violated when it suits their purpose.
Because I have to pay for all the health care other people get, instead of them paying for it themselves.
What do you think the insurance you pay for right now does? Do you know how insurance works?
You are already paying for other people through your insurance premiums PLUS your taxes. Shifting those costs into a single bucket is bad? Even if it lowers your overall costs to obtain healthcare?
With single-payer, it would save your premiums, co-pays, plus all the associated costs your employer pays for as well.
Why is it not okay to shift the burden of health insurance from your employer to another party?
I could be wrong, but I remember reading that Wayland was started by the X11 devs.
I agree that it is a ways off from being production ready.
Linux distros are getting too cavalier about using software that isn't ready. The pulse audio debacle and btrfs being the default in some distros are egregious examples.
Relational databases are not the end-all be-all of data storage.
People that think so are like the OO fetishists, who think up of the most convoluted class hierarchies possible like RDB fetishists try to use the relational hammer to force data that doesn't fit it.
I have also noticed that many, not all, RDB fetishists confuse relations with associations and think the relational means "how tables 'relate' to each other" but that is a different rant.
A relational database is a powerful tool when used in the right circumstances, No-SQL databases(key-value, document, graph, etc) are powerful tools when used in the right circumstances. Both are broken tools when used in the wrong circumstances.
I am not sure why you brought up JS, weird non sequitur. You don't see the misunderstanding and misuse of OO that you see very commonly in Java in Javascript.
It is not a new concept. They are a perfect fit when relational databases are either overkill or don't fit the data and the way it needs to be stored and accessed.
There is a reason Postgres has NoSQL options.
You sound like the OO fetishists, usually Java API monkeys, that think that everything is an object, even if you have to contort it into a useless "shape" to get it into an object.
But they aren't ok with being "out of luck" so often.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights doesn't exist to make life easier for cops. In fact, it was designed to do the exact opposite.
Working as intended.
The cops don't have to be okay with it. If they don't like it they can move to a police state where cops have all the power and the citizens have none.
That the cops can't break my encryption before the sun destroys earth is not a problem of any sort.
Yeah, most safes can be cracked. Others destroy the contents when cracked. Yes, most hand-written cyphers can get cracked, what if it was complete gibberish? I like that the founders purposely make things harder for law enforcement. Again, none of this is a problem.
You seem to be hand-wringing over the mere possibility that something is 100% secure, for reasonable definitions of 100% secure and cops "don't like it".
That the cops don't like it is a good sign. Anything that makes the cops work harder is a good thing.

That the GOP leaders can come out and say that before anyone is nominated just shows how unhinged they are.
