besides, mostly the lawsuit is not about the syntax of the written language, but of the bytecode / vm side.
Say what now? The Oracle/Google lawsuit is about copyright infringement of the Java library APIs, as thoroughly documented at Groklaw. I don't know which lawsuit you're thinking of.
Just so you know, Google won't put as much time into deciding which denomination of bills to toss in the general direction of The Man as you just put into analysing it.
So, this paddling from your mom that you're clearly obsessed with... how much did you enjoy it, on a scale from "semi'ed" to "spanked off to it every night since"?
Just like those factories in China where they lock the workers up in dorms, and wake them up march them back to the assembly line whenever demand rises, day or night! Technology is super cool!
Eh, the thinking seems to be that women are just so ditzy that we can't trust their chosen privacy settings, bless their pretty little heads. Stick to knitting and kittens, girls, leave this complicated intardnets stuff to manly men with manly neckbeards.
Either me a solar energy company that runs its entire operatio - extraction, through refinement, through fabrication, installation and maintenance, including keeping the meat alive - entirely on solar panels, or kindly fuck off and die in the same cold, dark cave that we'll all be huddling in if we take one more step down the risible Greenwashed Brick Road that is photo-voltaic.
Uh, we're so late to the party that we should never have evolved. This is primo real estate. If even one other species had struggled off its own lonely rock in the Milky Way, even once, in the last 12 billion years or so, then we'd be singing the Ghoyogian National Anthem by now.
Like the apocryphal monkey throwing darts at the stocks page, Cringely does get things right occasionally, but not because he actually understands or is capable of explaining them.
I was just thinking that Microsoft will likely shit a brick in its rush to volunteer to censor Bing in an attempt to have it mandated to (literally) tens or hundreds of millions of minions of repressive regimes (like China, the UK, USA...) around the world.
Note carefully that volunteering to censor is not the same as censoring. All they have to do is make the claim, delivering on it is an entirely different issue.
Indeed, as the judgement clearly showed, Max Mosely only commissioned a perfectly standard S&M incarceration scenario in which the use of German language, German accents and German uniforms was completely co-incidental.
Paul Francis, uh, "scientific" director of the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, has figured out that if I choose to declare that I'm gay on my public Failbook profile, then people can use that information to determine my sexuality?
Whoa, that's some cutting edge research there. Thanks for looking out for me, Paul.
Marvellous, except for them being given an hour (on the taxpayers' clock) to cut a check. The time to do that was months previously: private citizens aren't given a grace period once the truck shows up.

Sometimes the post really is all about you.

Eh, you can't make scissors that are completely safe for folk that insist on running with them.
Eh, they just need to tighten their grip.
It's only by the grace of the Christian God that they're apparently too retarded to realise that they could just walk on with a stick of dynamite.
No? Put it inside a vibrator. Or, heck, just write "ACME DYNAMITE" on it, it's got about as much chance of being found by the TSA either way.

The numbers are still there, man, it's, like, totally just a bunch of bits and bytes and junk.
Or do we only apply that argument to music and movies and porn, hmm?
A guy who shot his own face off is a deserving recipient of hundreds of surgeon-hours of reconstructive effort, right?
That's great news: I presume that it means that we've already fixed every birth defect in every innocent infant, yes?
How very Modest.
Speaking of provokateurs, I agree that you and them should shoot it out.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Narrow slits, an industrial press...

*WINK*.

Just so we're clear, there shouldn't be a smiley at the end of that sentence. It's +1 Insightful just as it stands.

Ah, so you have a Windows phone! Now we just need to figure out who the other guy is.
Yup, still works. Sorry, Alfred, I interrupted you while you were shilling. Please do go on.
Lawyers don't seem to be getting bored with it. And like most budget items, you either use them or lose them.
Good. I find their Deja Thoris strictly comparable. Needs to be more red and a lot more nekkid.
