Must have been a pretty crooked judge to not charge them with obstruction of justice and throw the case out immediately.
I think by now everyone knows Java was responsible for the vast majority of drive by infections on the web. Lately they've made Adobe look secure by comparison. By adding development features instead of fixing their security of even just their stupid updated that stalls out permanently all the time, they've shot themselves in the foot. Half my customers at my computer repair shop absolutely refuse to use or install java under any circumstances. Lots of companies are banning all java-based software for security reasons. My former employed switched their multi-million dollar bank account to another bank to avoid the original bank's java web plugin-based internet banking. Java is dying. Who cares if 8 is coming out?
A piece of hardware like this on a closed console with an insane level of controls and fees? No ability to run arbitrary code to make third party apps and mods for it? The hardware in the brand new PS4 is a joke compared to a real computer. It's so limited by a massive variety of factors! Put it on the PC or it will flop.

Actually, you're an idiot if you download a brand new patch to anything without seeing if it's crap first. Let the stupid people download it on day one. This has been standard IT procedure since Microsoft invented "service packs."
I'll do you one better. What good is it to have 16 million pixels if they all suck? You ever zoom up on a high res smartphone's pic of an all one color area? It's got more noise and color jitter than a 2 megapixel camera from 2003.
First of all, how is it that all stars moving apart from each other rapidly is not "first direct evidence" of the universe's expansion? And secondly, how could the expansion of the universe amplify gravitational waves? Space stretching would thin out the waves because they would be expressed over a wider area. Also, you don't create more gravity without adding mass or energy. Neither is occurring due to universe expansion, and of course the fact that mass and energy can't be "created" under any circumstances anyway.
4 year programming colleges are a stupid waste of money and time and hiring managers in IT need to base their hiring on proficiency scores on assessments, not what college you went to. Here's my 2 year college's programming course: find out what field you want to work in during semester one, then 2-4 are basic programming, intermediate programming, and advanced programming. Here's my approximation of the 4 year degree in programming: 2 years of general eds followed by exactly what I just stated there. The only difference is sometimes it's spread out so you're guaranteed to cross language version or framework release years, making your education less useful. Even between my 2 years they jumped from VS 03 to VS 05 with.NET 2.0.
First of all, China could too and probably more successfully. Secondly, Russia pretends to have this big military and lots of armor and blah blah blah. When Russia said something about the size of their military or number of tanks being higher than the US, I remember whoever they were interviewing from the US military said "We don't call them units. We call them targets, actually." They have to be modern and working to be considered threats. I don't think we're real scared of leftover tanks that didn't sell at Russia's garage sale after WW2.
In case you're not familiar, Allibaba is where they sell illegal ripoff counterfeits (that are marked as such), low quality electronics that break instantly, and where basically every seller is a scammer and doesn't speak english or have a customer support department. Yeah...that'll show Amazon what's what. This is going to make the impending Facebook and Apple stock crashes look small by comparison.
I was immensely smarter than the average student and had the grades to prove it. I was in the Gifted and Talented program in early education and had advanced math training, etc. When it came time to go to a very cheap, local technical school since that's all I could afford, there were zero scholarships for smart people. My ACT score didn't get me a damn thing. I had to have parents in a certain club or be an immigrant or have 1 parent or be a minority or be pregnant or have a family member in the military. At least I started college during my senior year of high school and got 9 free credits on the school's dime.
It was such complete bullshit, I almost ended up as a car salesman if it wasn't for money from my grandma and the Pell Grant. I became the best programmer in the college's history and the only one to get a perfect score on the final 9 week project in advanced programming. I finished 18 week algebra in 7 weeks then became a college-paid math tutor and programming tutor and all my students passed. When I graduated with 2 degrees and near-perfect grades, NOBODY would hire me without a 4 year degree (hello, two 2-year degree?!). I learned in college that 2 + 2 = 4 but nobody saw it that way. So I took the Tek Systems standardized programming assessments. I beat 89% of their programmers worldwide. STILL no job because of the college I went to.
So I told them to go fuck themselves and gave up. Then I got a job at 23 directly hired as head IT manager/CIO because of my 2 degree fields + 7 years of experience repairing computers as a side business. I'm still at that job and I'm the youngest head IT manager I've ever met. I bet I still can't get a job as a programmer. Something needs to be changed, BADLY!
Some of the earlier "finds" referenced in this article had a lot more evidence and a lot less of a geographic area. I think right now the flight is determined without a doubt to be "somewhere in asia, maybe." It was maybe being flown by a pilot but maybe by hijackers. It was maybe flying for 0 more hours after it last checked in or maybe 5 or maybe something in the middle and at a unknown speed.
They have about the same odds of finding it on the moon as they do at any particular geographic point with the current level of evidence. So what they need is more evidence, not just a really good search team from the Navy.
They should all go work for Microsoft. They released a badly designed, poorly planned product that doesn't really work and everyone hated so they dumped the bad features and fixed it prior to release. Microsoft took 8, sent it to the department of "who even gives a fuck anymore", and came up Windows 8.1 and 8.1 update 1.
Exactly! Given that even segways are an antique, I was thinking more of this: http://theonewheel.weebly.com/
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! Except there are other variations lol. Plus it's only 21 pounds, not ugly, and 1/10th the cost. Nobody is going to drop $6000 on that. A folding electric moped or bike even costs less than that.
Wow, this is shocking they were able to pull this off! I would have thought that by the time the first or second one was found, they would be too caught up with the next version of firefox being rolled out or the browser simply locking up over and over and over due to the flash plugin spinning in a loop. It's really hard to find vulnerabilities when the browser doesn't even work and they keep changing the playing field.

So Oracle + government + morons in charge causing scope creep + IT contractors. That's a recipe for a category 5 shitstorm.

You're missing something...the fact that I mixed 2 languages together to purposely make it not a real language.

Carboniferous? A living rock that only eats carbon? Quick, hide your BBQ briquettes!
When did his name change from Satoshi to Dorian? Did I miss something? The last article said they found him because his name literally was Satoshi.
If (PlatformIndepenentProgrammingRelated == True) And (RelatedToJava == False) {
Good!!!

They cracked the code on good web programming standards lol.
You'd have to be an idiot to not suspect a stolen plane is for terrorist uses these days.

Hey, I have an invention and it was already found to be illegal in my country. Want to invest in that too? It's a sure-win!

At least they're transparent about their transparency.

The US better put a hell of a lot of birds in the air just in case. I seriously doubt they can stealth it though so it passes our radar, lol.

Netflix did but unfortunately it's STILL DVD-only!
