    Yes but they wanted to piss on the Linux users. If they wrote it for linux first they could simply compile it on Mac and it should work both being *nix.

    I would laugh at that if it did not sound like a lecture in the HR class I am forced to sit through for my degree

    interpreting html is heavy processing? really? maybe on the old dumb phones but for any modern phone it is not an issue. they just found an loophole in the rules and apple allowed it that time

    yet again, opera cheated. it is rendered on their server and sent to your device as a binary not as plain html. thus skirting the rules

    that would be an easy fix require two different check sum methods say both md5 and sha that way you would have to find a piece of data that was in collision with two different methods which would be much much harder

    maybe if you wrote a emulator for that 8 bit risc processor that emulated the arm running linux (http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/04/02/191203/gnulinux-running-on-an-8-bit-processor). but if that was slow this would be monstrously so but it would be the ultimate geek cred

    People do trades on Wall Street that last for milliseconds. What makes you think they'll invest in something that has no guarantee of working, then takes perhaps 60yrs+ to have the first possible return on investment?

    you know i seem to remember another point when we sent out explores to to a new world without the guaranty of profit or of returns in the investors lifetime we later called it the Americas.

    so of course they are going to encourage you to use there service instead of their competitor.

    lets say you run a used Toyota lot would and people come to you wanting to buy a pickup are you going to recommend that they go talk to the Ford dealership down the road because they have a better pickup? hell no. you are going to recommend your truck and display all of its good points, why because you are trying to make a profit. that is what businesses do. If you as the costumer are trying to ask the dealership how there product compares to their competitor you are being foolish you need to go to a neutral third party say consumer reports and compare them.

  17. Re:Thank you on Richard Stallman Falls Ill At Conference · · Score: 1

    By making it all but impossible to make money out of liberated software in a manner that the FSF approves, Stallman has done more damage than good to users of software. The Open Source people have done good in limiting the damage, and actually helping companies recognize the beneits of open source w/o taking a bath on their revenues, or else, all that the world would have had would have been closed-source software.

    oh really no one like redhat or ibm or hp or google can make money off of gpled software? i think you will have to go tell all of those and more that they are lossing money and need to stop trying to make money off of gpled software.

    what we should do is simply down mode obvious shills and then ignore everything they post. do not reply to any thing they post. they will get the hint and leave eventually

  19. no not funny. Sadly its true. most people would trust Microsoft because that is who they use and have used for years. sad but true

    that actually would not be a bad idea. Knowing apples stance on there devices and how much they hate jail-breaking or people who dare to desire to run xp in a duel boot. what they should do is simply lease people the devices for like 5 hundred years that way if you do jail break the devices they can go after you. Mind you everyone of us would go to war on them but we are not their target demographic. we are not hipsters or the technically inept.

    Your funny i almost spewed coffee on my screen when i read that. What your weren't joking?

    no seriously yes they have a lot of open projects and use a lot of open code like webkit, cups, and darwin, but to say that osx is open it not true. they are most definitely closed source just look at the majority of the user space code, oh wait you cant, because it is not open. what osx is however is unlocked you cant run any code you want, but that dose not equate open
