Look at the number of companies in European countries. Belgium has 14 and is so much smaller than the US. All we hear though is how US companies buy our innovative startups and move them to the US when they are on the brink of creating a new medicine.
So that means about 3 new malware samples came from the official store based on their sample.
Also keep in mind that the android situation was sampled by their anti malware app which is installed on the phone while the IOS thread was discovered by an external security analyser and submitted to them so there is a certain skew based on methods/platform spread that should be factored in when looking at the numbers.
As far as I know, Google hardware and combined software kind of allows me more privacy/freedom than other mobile operating systems/hardware.
I don't think it is fair to include the vast data they have when talking about how invasive they are. Other companies (even small ones) try worse things (uploading all my contacts without asking/going through sms's/selling my banking information/....).
But I grant you that we are indeed in a dead spiral when it comes to privacy.
Actually,
The original Android company had two phones in development: The sooner and The dream. The sooner was more blackberry like with a physical keyboard, the dream was well, the one you call the redesign. (first artice I found: http://bgr.com/2013/12/20/ipho...)
But don't let facts distract you.
RTFA: In addition, LG will be making ongoing payments to Microsoft to cover Microsoft patents as they relate to Linux-based embedded devices that LG produces.
1) i would prefer multiple implementations of one spec: ms vm, sun vm, ibm vm versus Macromedia flash(speaking about 5 jears ago) 2) java is everywhere(not runs everywhere) you're cellphone, you're embedded chipset, you're desktop 3) java is cross platform (and more than just that) 4) java started in a time where open source was not like it is now
ps: i'm using linux for the last 7 years, and i still prefer java above all alternatives, and now it is open source stop nagging about it because the only true alternatives are mono and flex, one is closed source, one is still trying to catch up.
I'm a teacher for 5 years already and i lecture courses in java, LAMP, linux and some other stuff depending on the demand. I can speak from experience when i say the following: When you are teaching students which have already had course in Microsoft Visual studio (Visual basic) You will have a hard time arguing with your students(they gravitate to lazyness). Even though, we teach the first year using a simple text editor for all of the obvious reasons: somethinmes you need to now some things by heart. The years after that we use netbeans, the all in one IDE. When using a simple text editor and a command line you will never get as far (at first sight) as the IDE crew, but i'm convinced that in the long run they will have a better understanding. You shouldn't try to teach advanced topics that requires an ide thinking about bigger programs, enterprise technologies, writing unhuman readable xml formats etc... the main thing to remember is not about the language or the ide itself its about grasping the concepts and a good teacher is able to explain them without a language on a chalkboard.
lol, i tried mono ( hoping i would not have to install windows which i needed because i need to teach aspdotnet) and there are some quircks in it ( eg disable a asp control and is really is disabled while in the studio you still can manipulate it, in mono you can't). not talking about the worse error reporting i have ever seen. the say you have an error, where it is, but i doesn,t help you at all, their error stack is really bad not to mention the fact most of the errors are runtime errors. not to mention the fact that if you copy a project to an other pc you have to create a new project and import it to get it working on another pc. luckely with the help of textpad you can edit the.webinfo files and sollution files. and a last thing that really makes me pissed is the need to install iis before vs.net if you don't want problems and the stupid integration with iis. be then again, it reminds me why i switched away from windows
ow, right, a dialog with an ok button on it, not intuitive, you only got one choice click the fsck*ng ok button. but i bet the most difficult part of a debian installation is when you get two buttons on one screen, an ok and a cancel, i can understand it gets a little difficult, two choices!!! wtf, installing debian is clicking ok a several times, partitioning hard disk and insmodding drivers, ow, no hardware detection, wiiii, last time i checked, the deb-3.0-xfs detected all my hardware so no autodetection is deprecated now. the only difficult thing is reading like 3 manpages of 25 lines(man apt-get, man apt-cache en man man)
since I'm using the internet i stopped believeng the pourdhomme's anarhy was a way to go, all people are born good, but since i'm using internet i see that most people have not consience that tellss them that sharin is the way, edonkey users limit their upload to a byte a second, napster user refuse to share, gnutella user behave like morons. it's really pissing me off seeing this behaviour, it even makes me think if people in irl are behaven slitly different because they might be able to use me in the future. maybe the moment they get a chance to abuse me they'll just do it. chances that the gnu community turnes in this i (a)buse but why should i give back. maybe thats a reason why i don't want every one of those freeloaders/egoist to use linux, they'll be the rotting apple destroying allt hat i love in the open community. i could go on for hours about this, but you get my point. those who don't get it are provbably those i want to block, but hey, we are open, just like democrazy can vote itself to totalarism, open can evolve into closed just by being open.
I'm sorry, but this is a rip off of a story i read somewhere else (use google, take any random line and c/p it)... please, unless you are the original author give credit to the ones who deserve it and don't go karma whoring with something that isn't yours. If you would have posted the link, people might be able to read the fulle story
common, do they really think that giving tux the "done-before" uncle sam outfit gives it an independant look? like You americans made linux. or worse like you are they only indepandant country. I think lately tux has been abused in so many forms i should be getting pissed about it, but really? uncle tux????
hehe, since va linux became va software, there seems to be a sh*tload of FUD comming on this place. lets have a new fight instead of ms vs open/free source/software lets have something cooler.. lets start fighting each other. Who of you started this crap? (so i can bithcslap you) This is not the way linux should go.. or was the insight of 'unity, sharing, freedom, fairplay, whatever even in software' just one of my regular hallucinations. people with semi-compatible argumants should compromise, not get in fights, you get in a fight with those that deny you to have an opinion. and wtf... maybe rms isn't as smart as i was hoping, was it really nessecairy to go in te counterattack?
well, actually there is a belgian who still runs a +200 employees helpdesk in ireland (serving request al over europe)... only know since this week, but, well, you always have some diehards who refuse to die
Ow, and a filesystem dos not manage files? and files are not documents?
the way thy discribe it makes me think they only filed it to sue people. they use very technical terms as 'save', 'save as....', 'save files'. reminds me of someone lookinhg at a random windows menubar, asking himself, I can't code, i'm a layer, how could i make easy money out of this my way. Hmmz, seems like noone patented the save as menu. Ow waitt, i can't do that. lets patent a new general mechanisme behind it.
hmmz, is that a help menu. maybe i should patent about boxes.
it's not like they created something and the filled a patent request. they just filled one because they knew the idea was so general and someone had to create it. this is like the kindof 'my dad has a bigger gun than your dad and he wil woup your ass'-kids bragging/game but for retarded corparate players
anyway save our poor europian souls and sign the petition againsty software patents@ http://petition.eurolinux.org/index_html ?LANG=en at least that way you can hidein europe:)
pfff, every seen how licq sores your password, i wrote a script, it's called cat an you give you configig file as an option, for more effective use you use 'grep Password='.. do i look klike i care if someone uses my licq???
if i realy wanted to avoid someone to link to images/pages/whatever on my site.. i would limit it in my apache config.. (i once read an good article about it, but since i'm linking to some images i' m not gonna put it here:) )those who nag about it should shut up now, if you don't want someone to do someting, don't just ask em, force them...
My point is, that when your first priority is to protect stupid people from doing stupid things, you often also protect smart people from doing smart things.
I'm not clear with this point... i agree it protects stupid people from doing stupid, but is does not protect smart people from doing smart things. It hides some stuff, but it allows them to rtfm and open the hood and find the same button, not on the dashboard, but at the oil resevoir... It forces them to read the car manual before being able to screw arround with the car. this also makes it possible for 'not-smart' people to read the same manual and also be able to do the 'avanced-button-push-stuff' if they really wanted too.. making some things harder to find, doesn't make them harder to use, it just makes sure that noone kan by accident hit the button or be tempted to push the button when they shouldn't.
you wanne get yourself killed, i had this (linux being less userfriendly than other market players, including beos, windows and macosx)discussion in be.comp.linux for 4 day, when one was convinced, another took his place, untill i had to stop discussing about it (because i have other things to do too). (Try to explain how good beos was at this to someone who never used it. )
hmmz, if we would tell the newbies it's the new way to share mp3's i bet we can get gopher alive:)
anyway, i recentely rediscovered gopher(2 weeks ago, at the start of the exams), and i was amazed.. no banners.. imagine!
hmmz, just a question i ask myself... did those people tried to move their pc from one lan party to another? my experience learns me that that ain't to good for your harddisk. now imagine driving day in day out with a pc powered on (not parked) through a bumpy road.. how long do they pretend to offer a warenty? I mean, after one day your stuck woth a broken harddisk... just a question, anyway, i want one of those magic HD's
you're right, there is no point in advocating that everybody should switch to debs, just like there is no need to start advocating that microsoft is evil.. lets all keep using good old ms, and if something is good lets just shut up about it, because the old way ain't broken(or not that much). Hell, as much as i heat advocting things as you put it, whitout it, nothing would change, because noone would hear about the new and better alternatives...
debs are the best, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise:)
maybe whe should have a slashpoll about it.. but then again dolneal/myneal or whatever isn't likely to be accepted as the official name for the mysql dolphin.. myabe dotphin might be something... naaah
