> Gee, I'm awful glad I don't have Java on my personal machine any more.
Same here. Hasn't been on any PC of mine for years and years, and it never will be. Just installing Java slowed my last PC to a crawl, which is unacceptable.
"...insists that it is not possible to reverse the unrequested change"
Yeah, because it's impossible to edit a database. I mean, once it's changed then it's changed forever. Everyone who knows anything about databases knows this.
Do you have any examples of this? I'd be curious to see a couple as I can't seem to find examples after some searching.
I think you may be mistaken, and part of the reason is because IMAX sent an apology letter to Ars as follows:
This is an IMAX-sized mea culpa to you, your team at Ars Technica, and your readers.
We are very passionate about our brand and sometimes we can be overzealous in trying to protect it. Unfortunately in this situation we acted too quickly without truly understanding the reference to our brand.
Again—we apologize for how this was handled and we will try to be better at taking compliments moving forward!
So as near as I can tell, a company like IMAX cannot prevent you from referencing them in an article or other publication.
Slashdot Mirror
Lol, ouch.
Ditto to that...I have no facebook, no twitter, no linkedin, instagram, pinterest, etc etc etc. And I don't miss it a bit.
Damn right. Suck it up, haters.
:)
Suck it, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, David Barton, Micheal Savage, Sean Hannity, Pat Robertson, John Hagee, and all you other haters- just suck it.
And because of this ruling, it's now legal for Antonin Scalia to suck a dick in all 50 states.
It's about damn time.
We've always been at war with Eurasia!

Thank goodness I don't use Java or have it installed. It's a dog and will never be installed on any PC I use.
I was clutching my pearls so hard that I barely made it my fainting couch!
But all the Mac fanbois tell me that Apple products never get viruses....
As mentioned below, there are references in the article to the page that contains the apology.

But does MongoDB use systemd yet? That's the real test.
If homeopathy worked, the military would be using it, and they're not.
This is one of my "litmus tests" for whether or not shit is real. Does the US military use it? If so, then it's probably real and probably works.
The military will use whatever works regardless of cost or practicality. But if it doesn't work, you won't find them using it.
Perhaps if we all took super-small does of radioactivity we'd get that homeopathic effect and we'd all become immune to nuclear bombs.
Hey, can I buy that tiger-repelling rock?
I'm sorry, but shit just doesn't work that way. Please stop trying to rationalize belief in this ridiculously stupid theory or treatment.
Did you hear about the guy who forgot to take his homeopathic medicine? He overdosed! :)
Homeopathy is mind-bendingly stupid, and yet loads of people claim it makes sense to them.
It makes my head hurt to think about how these people must "reason" things out in their daily lives.
Lol, I had the same exact thought here.
> So, if an anonymous person says that candidate X is a pedophile,
:(
> but offers no evidence, I will take it as the ranting of a liar,
I agree. Sadly, not everyone thinks as clearly / logically as you do.
The ugly truth is that a lot of people will believe anything they hear without a shred of proof, and then they go out and vote.
So glad I never made a facebook account. No facebook, linkedin, pinterest, no twitter, etc etc etc.
Like dog shit, but covering the planet to a depth of 50 feet.
Exactly. If I had mod points, they'd be yours.
Um, never. That's not what "murder" is, okay?

Thank god someone understands this. If I had mod points, they'd be yours.
