Hardware was not ready for such a product in 1991. However, Microsoft did have a similar chance in 2007. There were smartphones before the iPhone, the big novelty of Apple's product was the multitouch capacitive screen, which MS invented for Surface. They just didn't think about shrinking it down for use with a phone.
Documentation describes what you intent a piece of software to do. It doesn't assure that the documented piece really does that, but it can help catch design flaws if you realise that that's not the functionality you wanted.
The reason for not building interstellar probes is that there is nothing interesting between stars. A good telescope can tell us much more than a deep space probe.
Because in a controlled media rumors are the only source of sensitive information. Whether true or not, they are an information source not under the control of the government.
Oracle, who thinks it can be, has used J.R.R. Tolkein's Elvish language as an example
False analogy, and terrible pun. Programming languages are not languages but standards. And, sadly, many standards are copyrighted, so I guess programming languages are also eligible.
But if he uses Java anyway, why not utilise the JVM itself as a virtual machine? It has far more features than this 16bit minimalistic thing, and after decades of optimisation it has become reasonably fast, at least much faster than any emulator he will come up with.
They had to because french words are indistinguishable from gibberish. (I just realised that indistinguishable is probably responsible for a large number of monkey failures.)
The university can't change the laws of course, but it's still a ridiculous practice. As an alternative, they could install "alarm" leds everywhere in the building, and turn them on after every threat. The people who decide to remain regardless of the alarm do it on their own responsibility.
Because they didn't actually want to hurt people, and they knew that their threats will be responded. If the system had been different they would have either bombed abandoned buildings or detonated during the night.

The problem was that those Ericsson phones were more like techdemos than polished products.

A guy creates a site that makes it easier for customer's to use their service, why the hell are they suing him?
Now she got Slashdotted too.

After reading the patent it seems like they got it for a specific implementation, which they believe is similar to the one WOW uses.

Provided they are lies. It's hard to tell when everything's censored.

At least until you have to call the garbage collector.
Oracle can't attack you, she only has a passive attack.
They don't want to be considered credible they want to instill fear for their extortions to work.
North Korea is really like the old lady that lives a few doors down from you with all the cats AND A NUCLEAR ROCKET.

It was a succesful bluff, and played a major part in ending the Cold War.

Pattern recognition is a very important part of intelligence.
Yes, but we have to ask them for their consent.

If this is true we should start designing a rocket that can return samples from Mars.
National TLDs are somewhat useful if you want to filter content by languages you understand.
But the biggest fear is fear of the unknown.

I always taught that responding these threats was stupid. No terrorist is dumb enough to tell you where will they strike.
