"So long, asshole. You can't fire me because I quit. I'm sick of the idiocy in this company; you retards wouldn't know how to manage a software project if your lives depended on it. I'm starting my own company that will be a hundred times better than yours, and I'll help a hundred other likeminded individuals become millionaires. Enjoy your life as a mediocre mid-level executive at a failing bank software company--jackass."
I agree, and the fact this was modded Troll is laughable. Android is a slow buggy piece of shit. Java is a piece of shit, and a horrible idea. Anyone who disagrees obviously never used computers back in the 80s and early-mid 90s, when they weren't complete shit. Today, on a quad core Phenom II w/ 16 gigs of RAM, I can't even click double to full screen a Youtube video without the fucking thing skipping. When I unplug my phone from its charger, there is a full 10 seconds where it's damn near unusable while the phone mounts the SD card etc. Hell, it's laggy just in normal use; and this is with an *overclocked* aftermarket ROM! This is unacceptable.
When labor laws are being violated, you need a union that can draw support from and build upon an established base
No. You just need a pair of balls, so you can stand up for yourself instead of immediately drawing back into your crowd of buddies for support. Stop being a coward.
Troll. Sounds like you should get a union where you work- maybe use collective bargaining to improve your pay and work rules...
LOL. And yet, so utterly shamed and disgusted by your attitude, which typifies the typical American "don't give a fuck so long as yer gettin yers" non-forward-thinking DUMBFUCK viewpoint on the world.

Unlike the banksters and CEOs. They are not overcompensated for their terrible performance or anything. They practically bankrupt our country and send us into a recession and not only do idiots like you reward them by not prosecuting any of them, you continue to keep them employed and pay ridiculous bonuses and salaries. The fact that you would be willing to murder your own brother to keep a public school teacher in a war zone from getting a 4% raise, but don't make a peep about CEOs and wallstreet robber-barons who give themselves huge government bailouts (your tax dollars, moron) and bankrupt pensions so that they can be 9 figure millionaires instead of lowly 8-figures says quite a bit about you. Fucking cunt.
Yes, it is insane to pay those who are teaching the children well. Much more sane to pay lobbyists a few million a year to make sure the teachers have no say in legislation.
This whole situation illustrates the absurdity of nationalized/Federal control over anything, especially education. Every single place is held to the same rigid standards, even if they should really widely differ from place to place. Why can't Chicago have competing school systems, an open education market, without all the Federal oversight and standards and blah blah blah and red tape out the ass? If I spend the millions of dollars and effort it takes to build a goddamn school, and successfully convince thousands of parents to send their kids there......shouldn't I be qualified to be in the business by default? Why the hell are some bureaucrats in a smoke filled room somewhere allowed to have a say over who gets to be a teacher or not? Shouldn't that power be in the people's hands?
The whole education system is fucked beyond absurdity and has been since time immemorial (early 1900s), so that's why all the confusion these days over what the fuck to do. Doesn't anyone get it? The answer is freedom. Liberty: it's the answer to damn near every major problem we face today. The education system is the root of our problems. Freedom in education is absolutely essential if we expect to once and for good raise this country out of corporate slavery.
I guess I don't need this pesky AMA membership and Doctor's license (another unnecessary origination that should be voluntary). I'm off to practice medicine! Maybe if I practice enough I'll get it right!
Cool. Good luck.
There are lots of good reasons to be required to join an organization before you can do something.
Also, the world is full of people who cannot learn how to do even that relatively simple task reliably and safely.
And yet they're here, and successful to various degrees after four billion years of evolution, and your "everyone else is stupid but me" theory can't explain that.
I once spent a year in Afghanistan writing documentation to explain to front line soldiers (your basic issue 18-20 y.o. private) how to unpack, set up, operate, and do basic troubleshooting on a half million dollar 2.6 meter satellite communications terminal. During operational changeovers, I wrote instructions to explain to soldiers at these established sites how to take their system off the air, point it to a different satellite, and bring it back online with a new modem "boot file" uploaded through an embedded Linux command line on the Linkway modems.
I also taught small 5-8 man classes in which these same soldiers got hands on experience deploying the equipment and learning how to anticipate and troubleshoot potential problems. We did it over and over again and everyone got their chance to participate. Lots of good questions were asked and plenty of learning took place.
In many cases they and their equipment would literally be dropped out of a helicopter in the middle of nowhere, and they would have to get this satellite system unpacked off the pallet and out of its various boxes, set up, and on the air using nothing more than this sheet of instructions. In many cases at the more remote locations, they had *no other* means of comms with support personnel until the satellite was on air.
We deployed hundreds and hundreds of these systems, and we made all sorts of changes to the network in this manner. Maybe 2-5% of them required any kind of extensive hand-holding. These very few people seemed to be just outright idiots; most were competent to some degree. Some didn't fully "get it" at first, but they kept at it and succeeded. The vast majority successfully got their systems on the air with perhaps a little difficulty along the way, and learned some things from the experience. Only in rare cases was a technician actually needed to be sent out, and the majority of cases it was due to faulty equipment. (Apparently Cisco routers, modems, and HPAs don't like being dropped out of helicopters.)
Never once have I met someone who could not be taught to do just about anything. It all comes down to how well you explain it, and understand their point of view so that you can explain it in a way that makes sense to that person.
Basically this company wants to be part of the Android group, but at the same time, build a competitor to Google's interests in the Android platform... using a forked version of Android. So Google is basically saying "if you want to be dicks and go against our interests, we're going to kick you out of our club."
An Alibaba exec fired back, saying, 'Aliyun OS is not part of the Android ecosystem so of course Aliyun OS is not and does not have to be compatible with Android. It is ironic that a company that talks freely about openness is espousing a closed ecosystem.'"
However, if I had had a camera in my car recording everything, I would have had pictures of the person who did it, and they would be responsible for all of that. Hence, the victim of a crime, and a hit and run is a crime, has a very good reason for wanting a police state. They forget the little things they did to others, and remember only their own distress that someone robbed them of their property. As long as Americans, and I am specifically talking about the US here, are criminals, there is going to be a continual clamoring for more security, as long as everyone is personally responsible for everything.
You're right, but got it exactly backwards in the last sentence. Government has steadily removed responsibility from the people, through educating them to be weak and helpless without aid from others. Then passing mandatory insurance laws and the like was simply child's play, by promising guaranteed protection from all ills (i.e. auto accidents) which the citizen was naive suckered into. He would have been financially better off to have just set aside that auto insurance money, and all the other money that he's wasting on insurance companies and other miscellaneous bullshit he doesn't need, and invested it wisely to compound it. Then he would have had the money to deal with life's misfortunes. The fact that I (a careful, prudent, and smart person and driver) am being forced at gunpoint to pay for someone else's mistakes (via the insurance racket), is simply unconscionable in a free society. I have preached this for years and I'm glad to see people are finally beginning to wake up and realize this. Mandatory insurance = a mandatory robbery at gunpoint.
The easiest way to avoid the police under the most Orwellian camera system imaginable is: Don't look like a criminal, don't act like a criminal. Whining about how you should be allowed to do whatever you want and act however you want is childish bullshit. You act like a child, you're going to get treated as one. You act like a douchebag, you're going to get treated as one. First impressions, and all.

THEY will have zero network transparency and will not run on remote Xservers.

No, but your stock broker will.
A neutral presentation is the first thing you're taught when you study journalism.
This isn't "journalism" you fucking stupid noob. This is SLASHDOT. The idiocy you are suggesting is EXACTLY WHAT WE DON'T WANT.
That's from the user base, not the site.
No, but the whoooooosh sure is

I'd rather blow my brains out than live like that.
In Soviet Russia....diamonds buy you.
And you know it's two people for a few weeks, how?
He has a brain.
Just because you can do the a small part work as a coder does not mean you know the larger effort it takes a company to do something.
Look in the mirror.

Poverty, home problems, crime, etc. are the actual problems.
Which is mostly caused by.......the educational system.
It's a vicious cycle.

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions"
It is illegal for a group of CEOs to join an organization dedicated to fixing prices.
And yet the largest price-fixing organization in the world, the Federal Reserve, exists by government decree.
Why should public sector be any different from private sector?
Because I'm fucking tired of deadbeats living off public charity.

What's your point?
But if you took away the scores, the American kids would be left scratching their heads wondering WTF to do.
This is all due to Android's openness.
Basically this company wants to be part of the Android group, but at the same time, build a competitor to Google's interests in the Android platform... using a forked version of Android.
