The Java language is far from dead in the enterprise. Those who use it there will gladly pay Oracle for their production systems, and use OpenJDK everywhere else. There is a crap ton of existing code out there being maintained, and new code all the time.
Java is far from dead outside of the enterprise too, on mobile. Not the way Oracle would have liked it with everybody using JavaME, but on Android, which is what has really breathed some new life into Java (not so much Minecraft). The lawsuit there has soured many on Oracle and Java, and it looks like Android may be moving away from it at some point down the road - which makes me sad because we've only just gotten Kotlin support. And Kotlin is a better Java.
I'm keeping my eye on Kotlin native and the javascript compiler. but the open source Java ecosystem has some pretty great libraries (moshi/jackson/gson, retrofit, okhttp, poi, bouncy castle,etc.)
User A takes a picture. They have a copyright on said picture.
User B shares that picture on social media. This is the first copyright violation. (But is it necessarily User B's fault? Linking to a story/page often automatically includes an image, which is most likely copyrighted).
User C embeds User B's twitter post, on their site, including the infringing content.
Should User C be held liable for the copyright violation, but not User B? Should User B be held liable for User C's violation?
If the social media service (or 3rd party client), when User B shares a link to a page containing the image, automatically adds the image to the post, thus resulting in an inadvertent copyright violation on the user's behalf, should the social media service (or 3rd party client) be held liable, or is it still User B's responsibility, and social media service doesn't give a rat's ass because they're covered under DMCA?
I have 101Mbps down, 10Mbps up cable. It's the highest speed I can get in my area at the consumer level, and comes with a 1TB monthly data cap. I pay $200/month for that, not including taxes.
The only other ISP is the phone company, and it's DSL packages in my area top out at 40Mbps down, 1Mbps up, at $55/month. I used to use them, but it took forever for them to offer anything over 10/1, and the reliability was terrible.
I'm lucky - I have two options, and they're both faster than dialup. Most people in the US only have one option for high speed access, and some don't have any.
I'm not counting satellite access here - 50GB data cap, 25/3 speed, terrible latency - thanks physics!:(, for $50/month.
Some of us are quite willing to pay, and would LOVE to pay one tenth the price for five times the speed.
How could this be offensive? The whole point is to call out places of cultural or historical significance. The only people that _should_ be offended by this would be holocaust deniers.
I have had to run Atlassian products a few places. They're much better than some of the more proprietary packages on the market. The only problems I ever had were due to running on windows virtual machines, and an overtaxed db server. Pretty much all their stuff runs much better on real hardware, running Linux.
Yep. It's cordova - which means web apps (technically hybrid since you can bridge to native functionality). I haven't used a single cordova/phonegap app that I've liked, and I actively look to avoid them. It's generally pretty easy to tell. I'm sure this is just ticking a box for marketing, nobody building anything remotely serious will even consider this.
Yes, they are and have been telling Android users to f off. If you want to use Android to watch their videos, you have to use their bastardization of Android.
While Jitsi is nice and all, it looks to me like they have a licensing problem. Jitsi has a dependency on ZRTP4J, which is under the GPL, and Jitsi is under the LGPL. Can anyone explain how this is possible without a license exception? And if they have a license exception, where is it documented? and isn't transfered upstream? If so, why not just make ZRTP4J LGPL instead of GPL? And why are they releasing the whole application under the LGPL, and not the GPL anyway?
Using usernames exposes your users account names to anyone they email. That's not a good practice. Security by obscurity, I know, but it can help.
givenName.surName@ generally works pretty well, and givenName.middleInitial.surName@ in the case of a conflict should help. If there is a conflict at givenName.middleInitial.surName@, you can add an index, eg., givenName.surName.00@ - just make sure you do something like specify what characters are ok (for example, not allowing accented characters or whitespace).
You might also want to have policies and procedures in place to handle special situations - for example someone has a significant privacy issue or has a name that isn't... well... polite:) when you string givenName.surName together.
Don't forget copying your floppy disks after getting a powerful item, then importing the character repeatedly from your different backups and giving the item to rest of the people in your party.:)
I wonder why the comparison was made against the nook color, and not the nook tablet? The tablet is more of a direct competitor. $50 more for the nook tablet gets you the same cpu as the fire, 2x the ram (1GB), 2x the internal storage (16GB), support for up to an additional 32GB via external storage, a less reflective display, and a microphone.
You can even run the amazon app store, kindle app, and amazon instant video player app on the nook tablet. Both the Nook Tablet and the Fire have been rooted, and both have been reported to be able to access the Android Market.
Heh. Until somebody gets the idea to use the Interstate Commerce Clause. Then creating and sharing yourself without going through a big publisher will be banned because it's a non-commercial activity that "would have a substantial effect on interstate commerce, even if the individual effects are trivial.". (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn )
I'm actually rather pleasantly surprised that the big software companies haven't tried to use this against open source (at least as far as I know), although I suppose they might if we ever manage to get rid of the big stick they have now (patents).

Java Applets (browser plugin)? Dead.
Java desktop apps? Dead. Nobody's going to argue that.

Indeed, that was my first thought as well. But I think "Miranda", the actress who played the void of Nell's Primer would possible be more fitting.
Aristotle was possibly inspired by this video:

How about Android? Use all those mad Java skills, but skip all the "Enterprise" BS. Might be fun.

Google already offers a variety of different hosting options:
* Google App Engine
* Cloud Compute
* Blogger
* Apps for Business (Sites)
What I find interesting, is if they're a registrar, can becoming a Certificate Authority be too far behind?
Power is not a problem. Curiosity is nuke powered, not solar, so it can run for about 14 years.

Kindle and Amazon VOD can go suck an egg.

Amen to that. WindowMaker rocks(ed).

1) You don't matter.
2) It doesn't appear to support tablets with camera's for that matter anyway.

Yeah, they're mixing metaphors. Superman and Dr. Who, do NOT go together. I think it should be the Dark Knight core. No super powers. :)

HIPPA is privacy. I think you mean ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).
