Don't be purposefully stupid - it shows. And no, linux does not have "10,000 developers at work" unless you cout everyone who ever worked on it in the last decade, no matter how small their contribution. And as everyone likes to point out, the kernel by itself is pretty useless - how many lines go in the average distro would be more accurate.
Also, the bug wasn't in the kernel, so comparing apples and oranges...
Windows has about 50 million lines. When there's an exploit in, say, IE (a similar situation to Android), they fix it. Google's excuse absolutely sucks. I like my Android, but maybe I should look at an iThingee next time around, especially since they have much better support for visual assistance.
War Plan Red was developed by the United States Army following the 1927 Geneva Naval Conference and approved in May 1930 by the Secretary of War and the Secretary of Navy and updated in 1934–35. In 1939 on the outbreak of World War II and Britain's war against Nazi Germany, a decision was taken that no further planning was required but that the plan be retained.[3] War Plan Red was not declassified until 1974.
The war plan outlined those actions that would be necessary to initiate war between Britain and the United States. The plan suggested that the British would initially have the upper hand by virtue of the strength of the Royal Navy. The plan further assumed that Britain would probably use its Dominion in Canada as a springboard from which to initiate a retaliatory invasion of the United States. The assumption was taken that at first Britain would fight a defensive battle against invading American forces, but that the US would eventually defeat the British by blockading the United Kingdom and economically isolating it.
It's worse than that. They are saying that if you don't submit a patch with your bug report then you can fuck off, because they don't care. Even if you do submit a patch they'll only "consider" it, meaning when they feel like getting around to it. Which will be never, because *they don't care*.
Who the heck do Google think they are - Linus Torvalds?
And that is Google's fault, for allowing the carriers to control what gets patched and what doesn't. They made a bad deal just to get quicker acceptance, and now we're stuck with it.
You missed the point - they haven't updated Ice Cream Sandwich) (4.0 - 4.04) and Jelly Bean (4.1 - 4.3.1) to fix this problem. Installing 4.4 definitely takes them off their old version, and it's not an option for many (probably most) people.
So they really didn't fix it in Android 4.3. Not everyone wants to upgrade to the lastest and greatest - ask windows 7 users what they think of windows 8.
They claim not to have the resources to do maintenance because it's 5 million lines of source code. Gee whiz, how many 100s of millions of lines of source code are there for OSes - and yet they don't get EOLed in a couple of years.
What other bugs (in this and other projects) are going to be labed WONT_FIX?
Not only was I ready to pay for it, but so was my employer at the time. Would have been happy to pay a couple of grand (same as I convinced a previous employer to get on the Delphi alpha/beta testers program) if it had worked as advertised, but even the generated apps were way too slow to be usable. Even Java was (a lot) quicker - and that's not saying much back in those days.
I paid $500 for Delphi 1 when it came out, $374 (upgrade price) for Delphi 3 Pro, and would have happily paid $500 for a native linux version. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Just like I would have happily paid for a BC++ linux version, same as I did for the Windows version.
I think that, if it hadn't absolutely sucked performance-wise, many of the people who had already bought Delphi would have been quite happy to shell out of a linux version.
If your computer is old enough that it doesn't even run vista (Jan. 2007), it's probably time to buy a new computer (1/4 the price, 4x the specs) and run your copy of xp in a vm.
While Jupiter really wants to grow up and become the brown dwarf it was always meant to be, it didn't. The radiation it puts out is hardly enough to make up the difference between the solar energy received by Earth and by Europa.
The energy to keep most of Europa above the freezing point of water comes from gravitational forces, not radiation. It's enough to even drive volcanoes.NASA's Europa FAQ
When there is money or power involved, you will ALWAYS find sufficient lawyers ready to argue both sides of any question. Why not use the tools already at hand - copyright law - to just register your copyright (assuming the value of the work is actually worth something) and then sell unlimited, transferrable unrestricted rights to use, alter, and reproduce your work for $0.00.
It is a surprise. Think of it - the environment is only 30' in height top to bottom, the bottom is subjected to continuous bombardment by gravel and rocks so nothing can live on the bottom, and anything that is slow (low-energy) gets stoned out of existence, and it's -2C.
No sunlight, sulpher, or thermal vents to add energy to the ecosystem, hundreds of miles from the open sea, and you stick a robe down there and fish swim up to it? There's a reason they said the conditions were the closest you could get to Europa, which has an ice crust over liquid water.
Since the site only has scientific value because it has been sealed away for millennia, I'd have thought they'd take more care about preserving its microbial integrity and not just go diving in it.
Please look at the pictures in the last link - they show a probe about to be lowered into the borehole - that 3" pipe at the bottom of the pic. Nobody went diving unless they were blended first. Also, the site has value because it shows that animals needing high energy (to avoid the constant rain of gravel, dust, and boulders) can survive in such austere conditions. Look at how the sea bottom is totally dead - nothing stationary or slow can live there.
You're thinking of Kylix from the bad old days; wine was needed for both the IDE and the apps. From what I can find it still appears to use winelib.
In a way, this makes sense (even though it's disappointing) because it's easier to make a shim to each os/display manager than it is to rewrite everything. But still...
No, you claimed it showed 81% of people don't lie to interviewers, and I called BS and provided a counter-argument. There is zero from this study that would make anyone think that 81% of people are honest in interviews. As another example, think of how many people exaggerate, puff up, or outright lie during job interviews.

it was fixed. it is fixed... in Android 4.4. Android 4.4 is free update. People don't have the patch because carriers don't patch 2 year old phones.
And this is a problem with the current android ecosystem.

Ah, the fallacy of the excluded middle. Everything is yes or no, black or white. No "50 Shades of Grey" for YOU!
Why do men have nipples?
Gee. you must have a real hard time with keyboards :-)

It was also accepted because the title sounds like they found a single fish after an epic rescue mission.
Sorry, but "Fishies" just doesn't sound right, unless it's Cat from Red Dwarf saying it :-)
Or drop some Cheetos crumbs into it :-)
> No sunlight
Why does the fish have eyes?
Why do you have an appendix?

G'Bye troll. Go find someone else to play with - I'm busy for the next few weeks.
