Is that because of the popularity of the films or because of the unusual costume? A bit of both I suspect.
Now when I look at those films again they look like absolute crap. Wooden acting, cheesy costumes, lame story, rotten screenwriting, stupid physics, cheap effects, and to be frank, Leia isn't that hot. Seemed fine at the time. I'm kind of embarrassed about that.
Cheap Android phones don't make much money for anyone.
Rubbish. Well over a billion Android handsets per year drives a huge industrial supply chain, making billions for everyone from suppliers of raw materials to foundries to manufacturers to retailers. Oracle says the Android industry generates $32 billion annually. I say that's an underestimate, and I say enough wishful thinking from bitter Apple groupies.
It would cost more than the machine is worth. Then you will have a new control on a worn out 30+ year old CNC machine.
It depends how much your CNC machine weighs. These things are basically sold by the pound. The structural requirements of the basic metal hasn't changed a lot over the years, and the cost of making it hasn't come down. So it may well be worth investing in some modern controls and/or motors for your 50 year old 20 ton machine. The cost of everything except the big iron has come way down.
Why YouTube views have gone down is unclear, but some good theories are floating around. SocialBlade Community Manager Danny Fratella pointed to two potential causes: view audits and altered video-promoting algorithms.
How about endless, intrusive ads without the slightest relevance? How about annoying auto-spam video play by default? How about other video sites that offer a way more pleasant experience? How about google powerpointers should take their faces out of each other's buttholes for a moment and listen to what users are saying?
I assume they manually pilot the drone using video over cell network. Still, many delivery destinations would be unacceptably hazardous, flying between power lines in a blinding snowstorm being a good example. 7-11 at least has one huge advantage over Amazon: they have way more delivery sources, much closer to the destination on average. But they have many of the same problems. This is a great PR generator for the pioneering companies, but that will change instantly to clickbait for news orgs the first time a drone crashes into a human. Then, enter the regulators.
Spotify needs DRM to keep their streams from being perfectly ripped. DRM and open-source are somewhat incompatible. It's not a Spotify problem, but a reality problem.
Any perception of reality that leads them to conclude that Flash is the correct solution would indicate a severe issue with mental competence.
every other website across the ENTIRE INTERNET still seems to at least attempt to use Flash
Are you on the same internet I am? I rarely hit flash sites now. The streaming sites seem to have almost all made the mode to html5. I get occasional complaints from my kid about flash game sites not working, and that seems to be it. Some crappy games, a few crappy web sites, that's all that is left. Flash menus are pretty much completely gone, thanks for that.
What an incredibly crappy license. I had no idea Oracle was abusing their stewardship of Java so badly. Just one of many little gems: according to Oracle, you have "rights to view, download, use and reproduce the Specification only for the purpose of internal evaluation. This includes (i) developing applications intended to run on an implementation of the Specification, provided that such applications do not themselves implement any portion(s) of the Specification..."
It doesn't have to be a buyer, Microsoft could just get a new CEO.
No. You have no idea what you are talking about. Microsoft's "promise" carries considerable legal weight and cannot be undone by a new CEO on a whim. There may indeed be questions to ask about the coverage and durability of Microsoft's promises, but such questions lie well beyond your limited comprehension of the situation.
Worth mentioning that if Java dies, the thing that will replace it will be C#. So pick your poison.
Never thought I'd say this, but leaning towards C# to fill the role of training wheels for the internet and fountainhead of crappy applications. The devil we don't know, you see. Or do we?
Slashdot Mirror
A lot celebrities died this year.
Roughly 1% of the general population dies every year. Since there are a lot of celebrities, a lot of celebrities die every year.

Angelina Jolie is iconic? What movie has she even been in that was iconic?
Mr and Mrs Smith was an absolute blast.

the majority of all profits (roughly 95%) goes to Apple

your plan is being undermined by those who truly own the device
Welcome to the world we were warned about.
Do I detect a flash mob of bitter Apple groupies?
Fixed the headline.

Consumer Reports is what it is, and for lots of stuff it is great...
Especially great at trashing Apple when it deserves to be trashed.

How about getting the application developers to move off of it before killing it off?
How about letting the flash application developers rot in a special corner of hell?
What's wrong with Spotify admins?

Fuck Oracle.
You try to mask your ignorance by bleating in platitudes, but it doesn't work.
Like I said, you have not the slightest clue what you are talking about. I'm betting that you do not even know the word "estoppel".
"Better to shut one's mouth and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt."

anything that Oracle is doing now is something that Microsoft's buyer might do in the future.
Seems like a pretty far-fetched theory to me.
but leaning towards C# to fill the role of training wheels for the internet and fountainhead of crappy applications.
Why, specifically? I've done both, I can give you advice, maybe.
Demonstrated legal minefield for Java, in the form of troll Ellison.
The rats know the Oracle Ship is burning and are trying to milk every last drop from the Java cash cow before they scurry into rafts.
It's beyond me why anyone would use Oracle when Postgres is available.
