No, Adobe most certainly did not "hear us after all". If they had heard us, they'd give up on Flash and make HTML 5 authoring tools. Consider how vile Flash content is running in the runtime for which it was designed, the CPU overloads, the crashes. Now just how well do you think it's going to work when translated into a completely different runtime???
Also, I forgot Mullis, who was using LSD when he figured out PCR. So two of the greatest advances of the 20th century, right there, off the top of my head...
Anyone under the influence of illegal drugs think they're sooo intelligent and creative and imaginative and infinitely smarter. In reality, they can't even think straight.
And yet, the structure of DNA was figured out by a man who was on drugs (LSD) at the time.
It's a clever lawyer trick, but Java itself uses copyrighted APIs.
I think you mean Java itself uses pre-existing APIs. As far as I know, no API has ever been copyright, and Oracle's claim is an attempt to ram through a breathtaking expansion in the scope of copyright for software.
But they cannot be used to release any resources, like sockets, streams, files, connections, etc.
How the hell do you get an error closing a socket or a file? Seriously, think about the question for a second...
Yep, program termination is perfectly fine, because that's a programming error that should certainly never get past basic testing. In fact, it should never even show up in testing, because avoiding it in C++ is so damned easy, allocate in constructor, close in destructor, and you'll never get an error on close, unless of course you've already corrupted memory hopelessly.
Unless you're Keith Alexander. Then it apparently does not apply at all.
Perjury laws are enforced extremely rarely except for cases like Martha Stewart where you're a suspect for something else they can't prove. They are almost never enforced against anyone in government, nor against expert witnesses. (BTW, I personally think is wrong. I'm not arguing for it, just stating what is.)
Perjury is saying false things INTENTIONALLY while under oath in court.
The "intentionally" part is necessary, correct. But the "in court" part is not necessary. Perjury applies to intentional lies in all sorts of official proceedings and documents.
Then it's not his property, it's the neighbourhood association's property.
Who the fuck do you think the "neighborhood association" is, dumbass???
It would be composed of the property owners in the neighborhood, who also own some part of the property jointly, meaning, if you can follow this complex trail of logic, that he is one of the owners of the property in question.
Then there's the TV, the TV cable box, a heater...everything got the electrical tape band aid treatment. I even put a black screen wipe over my cell phone in it's charger cradle that likes to let me know it's charged by beaming me in the face with green light. Tablets get charged with their cases closed and the laptop charger goes face down into the carpet.
NONE of that shit, with the sole exception of maybe the heater, belongs in the bedroom. Period. End of discussion.
Is that your sales team is lazy. They could most certainly turn this to the company's advantage and make it a strong selling point, but that would be different than what they're used to, and require some though and effort on their part.
Even that, at 5 cents a kWh, 12 kWh comes to 60 cents of electric power a day. Their contraption looks like a couple ten thousand dollar thing, and the economics are simply not there.
You weaken your point when you exaggerate like that. $0.05/kWh electricity is pretty rare, $0.10 - $0.25 is the common range, and if you want to use a single number for a quick sanity check, $0.15 would be a pretty good one.
At a guess I'd say he's referring to the iPhone 5C which is still on sale and is essentially the technology of the iPhone 5.
Perhaps. But given the context and his exact words, he was obviously implying that the iPhone 6 is the old technology he was referring to. Then when challenged, he just posted a link to an iPhone 5, without clarification. So, yes, the 5C is 2-year old tech, and yes, Murdoch5 is dishonest;-)
Which I can only see as a glowing endorsement for the efficiency of iOS in how it manages to still run so smoothly even on older hardware.
There are more Android devices to choose from. Choice is good for consumers, but means that individual models can't hit Apple's numbers.
That's generally true. Although the top-line Samsung models don't have a lot of competition, and it's legit to compare them to iPhones. But I'm not really trying to do that; I'm just pointing out that Samsung does not provide the numbers.

or not, for long-distance transmission, High Voltage Direct Current systems may be less expensive and suffer lower electrical losses.
Sure, now with a century's worth of time passed, and significant advances in DC power electronics over the past couple of decades...
Simplest explanation is always right.
No. Most likely. But in the absence of more information, most certainly NOT "always right".
What makes you think the servers can deal with multiple copies of data sanely?
What makes you think TCP cannot deal with duplicate packets???

It's nice to see rich and powerful corporations starting to stand up and oppose these abuses...
Avahi is disabled...
Why bother? Just leave it alone for a few minutes, and it will disable itself ;-)
7) Apple vertically integrates a component of supply chain using change it found in their lobby's couch cushions.
Except that Apple does everything they possibly can to avoid having to own any component of their supply chain...
He won a Nobel peace prize for starting wars all around the world lol.
Name one war he started.
You don't realize that "interview" is a parody??? Nor do any of the people modding up your post as insightful???
Idiots. (Or jokers, which I guess would be OK, but sheesh, that's what +1 funny is for...)

Uhm, no, they are NOT doing fine.

Uhm, a link to a 2-year old iPhone 5 says absolutely NOTHING about the iPhone 6. Care to try again???
It's amazing the iPhone sells, it's old technology outfitted with pointless style...
What exactly is old technology? Take a moment, think about your answer ;-)
