  1. Re:So, how long before... on Will Netflix Destroy the Internet? · · Score: 2, Informative

    It was designed to connect research institutions (universities) to each other and to military research institutions (DARPA). It was not designed to be resistant to attack, much less nuclear attack. The ability to reroute is, and was, necessary because physical equipment and lines are prone to intermittent failure.

    You, and whoever modded you Informative, are ignorant idiots.

  2. Re:Should be good for the economy on 2010 Election Results Are In · · Score: 1

    At least we still have proper grammar! The United States is not led by religion any more now than it ever has been.

  3. Re:We've tried this before on Mr. Pike, Tear Down This ASCII Wall! · · Score: 1

    The problem with Java is that the language itself as no concept of properties. Per force, the IDE must handle getters and setters for you.

    Both Objective Pascal (the language commonly known as Delphi) and Objective C have a separate concept of properties. This allows an abstraction between the class's data model and its public interface. It also allows the compiler to auto-generate missing getters and setters (where you only write methods to handle special cases, such as data conversions or initiating side effects).

    Your purposeful ignorance and your sig are perfectly complementary. Of course, your mind may not be closed; it might just be absent.

    Why would anyone care about that? Dalvik doesn't use Java classes.

  6. Re:This was obvious. on US Supreme Court Expected Political Ad Transparency · · Score: 1

    You cannot trample the rights of individuals just because they're exercising those rights as a group.

    In what way are the individual's rights being trampled if the rights of a legal entity are curtailed?

    I hope you die. Really, your waiting for your impending death must be agonizing. Why not stop waiting for your life to finish and just kill yourself? Thanks.

  8. Re:Death by ACLU association. on ACLU Says Net Neutrality Necessary For Free Speech · · Score: 1

    It's rather questionable whether the 2nd amendment grants rights to the individual. Obviously, the generally-held view is that it does, but that doesn't require any particular organization to hold the same view.

    What's an IPAD?

  10. Re:And??? on 'Back To the Mac' Media Event On October 20th · · Score: 1

    You may think Macs are too expensive for what you get, but you don't need to spend anywhere close to $2000 to get something running Mac OS X.

  11. Re:Not going to happen. Here's why. on Verizon, 4G and iPhones · · Score: 1

    In all likelihood, that's just telling you whose network you are on.

    But I really don't have anything to base that on; I'm just guessing.

  12. Re:Broken News... on Astronaut Sues Dido For Album Cover · · Score: 1

    I don't recall ever hearing the name. I certainly didn't recognize it. Not everyone keeps up with (every aspect of) pop culture.

    Please, never do that again. Federal Express has nothing to do with what you're writing. Use "e.g." when you mean "For example".

  15. Re:Portable device for both Ubuntu and Windows on Chrome OS Arrives On the iPad — No, Seriously! · · Score: 1

    And Apple provides drivers for several versions of Windows with every Mac OS X install. What's your point?

  16. Re:Idiotic Summary on Chrome OS Arrives On the iPad — No, Seriously! · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm a registered iOS developer, but even I have to agree with the principle of your parent post. Ad Hoc is a way to get betas out to testers before submitting your app to Apple. It is not a way to get your app to a random and/or unlimited number of users.

  17. Re:NAT != Security on Can Large Scale NAT Save IPv4? · · Score: 1

    You can't have the same MAC in two separate devices on the same Ethernet LAN segment. But duplicate MACs on the same device is fine, or duplicates on separate segments (unless you're doing Ethernet bridging to make them one logical segment).

  18. Re:Citizens United on Does A Company Deserve the Same Privacy Rights As You? · · Score: 1

    YES. Do you fucking live in the same world as the rest of us?

    Besides, you purposely ignore the real downside -- lobbying. Lobbying is nothing more than legalized bribery, made legal by those who directly benefit.

    Yes, it would. What's the smallest physical screen that can do that resolution? What would it cost? How many minutes would the battery last?

  22. Re:Shared libraries are a big key on Devs Bet Big On Android Over Apple's iOS · · Score: 0

    Umm, the reason that Unix does not suffer from DLL hell is because of the installation policy (which is what MS changed), not the underlying tech. If iOS apps are installing shared libs in a common location, you can and will have DLL hell.

  23. Re:Shared libraries are a big key on Devs Bet Big On Android Over Apple's iOS · · Score: 1

    If apps can provide their own shared libraries and, you know, actually share them, then one app can overwrite a shared lib with one containing a trojan. It doesn't even need to use the lib itself, so it would always appear blameless during a superficial investigation of which app is triggering the code.

  24. Re:Did they on MPAA Asks If ACTA Can Be Used To Block Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    Copyleft is a made-up term. The GPL is a copyright license. It grants to the receiver of a code-base a license to copy and redistribute the code, and it attaches some stipulations to this permission. That is exactly what copyright is about -- distribution rights.
