of course. {object I love} did it first - yay!! {object of irrational hate} did it first - nah, it's irrelevant. they suck. it's just marketing. etc etc.
Of course, with iOS, since apps run on the OS, it's fine.
With Androids, Linux can be 64bit, but the dalvik VM... that has to go to 64bit too... I'm sure Google will enjoy spending their time working on that instead of whatever they were planning on doing for 5.0.
Definitely a new way to look at security - yeah, our stuff's shitty, but has there been a huge increase in breakins huh? HUH?! HUH?!! Yeah! So shut the fuck up!
#68892 - best comment on the bug: 'Not quite sure how the severity scales are generally used, but shouldn't a trivial command that breaks the one feature that is being splatted all over the homepage as having significant improvements be a little higher than "non-critical" ?'
2% isn't much? Let me quote the relevant bits again.
If every fucking little patent is worth 2.25%, how are they even going to sell the XBox?! There were hundreds of patent holders for all the patents "used" in the making of the XBox.
And why should Microsoft license their stuff cheaply? FAT is not a SEP. *YOU* choose to implement it. You were not required to implement it.
However, H.264 is a standard, and if you want to play mp4 videos, you *HAVE TO* implement it.
Please go read up on what FRAND and SEP is before you try to talk about it again.
You will notice that no one is pressuring anyone to add their standards to SEPs. These companies volunteer because they know if they don't, their patents are worthless. If your patent doesn't make it into H.264, who gives a shit about it? Who would license it? No one (or very very few people)
It would have taken a further step on their part "hey, we are the new owners, we're killing the original lawsuit against msft by motorola, and msft, will you kill your lawsuit too?".
On original point - the problem is that this was a SEP. Standard Essentials Patent. You need it for H.264 and other standards for interoperability.
I could give a rats ass if you're suing over non-standard essential patents. Even Apple got hit by one and had to either pay hundreds of millions or re-engineer things. But it was Apple's decision to pay, or re-do. *BUT* if it was a SEP, there is *NO WAY* to re-do. You have to implement as is, because you need to interoperate with others.
That is why friends don't let FRAND abuse of SEPs happen.
Your sense of reality is warped. If every fucking little patent is worth 2.25%, how are they even going to sell the XBox?! There were hundreds of patent holders for all the patents "used" in the making of the XBox.
Also, GOOG bought Motorola. If they wanted to, they could have killed the lawsuit outright. As simple as "hey, we are new owners, we're killing this stupid lawsuit".
Nice description until you veer off into Applesux land. Apple has categorically stated that it will never use SEP to attack others. None of the lawsuits they initiated involved SEPs.

Oh, you mean to say we should be forever stuck in 16 bit mode right? Because moving to 32 bit would make 16 bit machines outdated...
"Talking point". I have not seen a bad thing from the things brought in from iOS. No idea where these people get their talking points from.
I'm talking about government surveillance.
Is it better to have open, known surveillance, or secret, unknown, surveillance?
Why? Is one necessarily better or worse than the other? Because the Bible said so? Or something else said so?
Oh, you mean like RSA tokens and the seed files? :P
Why? So many other avenues of attack. Don't bring out the silliest arguments and expect us to debate it from the extremely silly point of view.
Because you're an idiot doesn't mean the rest of us are. Serious.
The other AC posted a very interesting article. You should read: http://grimoire.ca/mysql/choose-something-else
I prefer 68. She does me, and I owe her one...

For example, #1341. 10 fucking years old.

What about stupid shit like this: http://www.darkreading.com/database/expect-a-surge-in-breaches-following-mys/240001958?cid=nl_DR_daily_2012-06-14_html&elq=7e0510c44883432fa8e79c2ebde2ecb8 "The vulnerability itself is in the way MySQL accepts passwords -- the bug makes it such that there's a one in 256 chance that the wrong password will still grant the user access to an account. So an endless loop of attempts will eventually grant an attacker access. It was a bug so unique that Moore says some MySQL developers ran into it, couldn't reproduce it ,and eventually chalked it up as a fluke."
Is MySQL even ACID compliant yet, without addons?

Because you already know what they're coming out with? Amazing!
Damn. I wish I hadn't commented earlier because I actually have mod points :) And bonus - you even managed to tie it back to the topic!
Someone, mod parent +funny :)
Hell, *I* want Mospeada!! Those Cyclones are damned cool!

I was looking for evidence that:
Yes, because focusing on protecting one Constitutional right as opposed to picking and choosing when to protect or attack the others is evil.
though, upon re-reading, I see the AC was being sarcastic and not actually calling ACLU evil...
Just don't use paypal to get funding...
Evidence?

So, fearing the government, I now give full access to hackers who owned those hotel computers and internet cafes? Yay.
