But seriously, when you try to argue with a senior editor know what everyone tells you? Read the 20 awesome Wikipedia entries that validate their statements, however unjustifiable they are in real arguement.
Yep. I tried adding some facts to an article about a famous/popular author, namely that he was a eugenicist who advocated the elimination and sterilization of the lesser humans. This was challenged, with the sources given as not reliable enough. I offered to hop over to the university library and photograph the intro to one of his works (original printing) where he went on about this. I was told that would not be acceptable evidence.
Did I start up a dispute resolution process? No, this guy was a fan of the author - even if I had emerged victorious, he would have just later deleted it when nobody was looking. It wasn't worth winning this one as I didn't have a dog in the fight.
which aims to bring educated people together to work on tech-related government policy.
Super, more of the "we're the smartest guys in the room" who want to tell everybody else how they should behave. But with propeller beanies this time.
Guess what? There are people who are smarter than you. Even the smartest people can't forsee all possible outcomes. Millions of smart people making billions of decisions will always have a better outcome than the smartest central planner.
It's an information problem, but apparently even information professionals can't seem to see that. Ergo, anybody qualified to attempt this would refuse to.
And, let me guess, the CrunchGov group will refuse to take responsibility for any mistakes they're going to make, right? Good, so long as we have a well-aligned incentive structure, this will never devolve into corruption and greed.
Better suggestion: spend your time inventing the future, especially one which obviates the need for stupid politicians. See also: opportunity costs. Oh, right, those don't count in public policy.
There are only two benefits to the TSA system: obedience training and corporate welfare. All other premises can be disproven.
This lady pushed back on the conditioning so they made an example out of her. Sheepdogs need to bite ankles once in a while to keep the sheep in line. She should be glad she didn't threaten the corporate welfare or she'd be headed to prison.
Don't like it? Do something. Playing by the rules that created this system doesn't count.
Saw this live here in Australia at the windows 8 Harvey Norman launch. I'm not kidding you, a butterfly nearly landed on my nose
I'm afraid the caterers went foraging for their own mushrooms to meet budget. Sorry 'bout that, and your shoes are waiting for you down at the station, along with the platapus you tried to staple them to while going on about the new LG gear.
This does not apply to OpenJDK because it was created under the Gnu General Public License (GPL).
I'd like to look in on the mirror universe sometime where Google decided to base Davlik on OpenJDK and avoided the whole lawsuit thing and had a performant vm to boot.
So be happy, you can confidently rely on OpenJDK being around for decades.
"They" have a need to try to achieve perpetual and infinite growth.
No, most of the powerful globalists are very interested in population reduction.
They think things like, "all those people with their dung fires will heat up the atmosphere and interrupt the thermohaline cycle around Greenland, causing the Gulf Stream to divert, plunging our swank European property into Siberia-like conditions. So, they have to go."
the recent foolishness that has defined a corporation as a "person"/Santa Clara vs. Southern Pacific Railroad/, 1890.
And it was just in dicta, not even the binding part of the decision.
This all started about 20 years earlier when John D. Rockefeller had (read: bribed) Congress put an end to the temporary nature of corporations. Continue to the creation of a private corporation to manage the money supply, a personal income tax to give it collateral, and all manner of tax code and regulatory mechanisms that bring us to today where only the large multinationals can play in many business fields.
I'm pretty sure somebody did go in and fix the X11 desktop..... It was Apple w/ OSX.
Do you mean DisplayPostScript from NeXT? Apple never used X11 for their primary display (ignoring AU/X and mkLinux for the sake of convenience here) so they had nothing to fix.
They didn't return my emails asking for price info but I later found an article from the register quoting arround $10K per slab. IMO that is just too much for what they are offering.
Thanks. That's interesting - they were on FLOSS Weekly talking about being more cost effective than x86. I can get really nice 64-core 1U AMD systems for under $5K, and those are 64-bit superscalar branch predictive CPU cores running at twice the clock. Inter-VM networking is faster than 10GbE so now I don't get how they could claim it. Power costs won't make up that difference in the machine's useful lifetime.
Good advice. If you even attempt to master it and do decently in your studies, you'll wind up being these other guys' boss in fairly short order. "Somebody has to babysit the MIT kids" is a phrase tossed around the Boston tech sector.
It means that this "post" is really clickbait. And now we know why no one RTFA.
Yes - please, nobody make any more topical comments about the "death knell" phrase or you're just going to encourage this kind of submission whoring and editors who play along. They'd love to see a long thread debating the merits of whether or not TLS is about to go extinct, and there will be trolls to fuel such an absurd thread if you allow it.
They'll have to make do with a small number of page views on the meta bitching about the poor editing.
And make no mistake, Windows phones will once again be killed off by Microsoft soon with or without Nokia
Eventually, probably, but not this go around. This time the strategy is to install their guy in Nokia, burn it to the ground, and absorb through acquisition the remains to make a full-tilt effort against Apple and Google with Microsoft Phone 8. They'll need Nokia's hardware people and patent warchest to attempt this. Because if Microsoft fails at mobile, Microsoft fails for the long term, at least in its present form. Yeah, maybe it becomes a SaaS provider, but that's not what keeps it rolling in the billions.

Longer than Oracle Java, I'd bet good money.

When said bureaucrat can, ultimately, send a SWAT team armed with assault rifles to storm your apartment over it, it becomes a bit of a concern.
Ah, the dark underbelly of the arts and useful sciences. Oh, wait, NO IT'S NOT!

The idea [insert current event] is an abomination of logic, reason, and ethics.
Congrats, you've just described modern government in a generic form.

I've never read an accurate telling of the Dell/Apple story.
Why is this inaccurate?

If you want a real ARM beast, look into the Slab servers at Baserock. 2400+ cores per rack, air cooled. Plus, they're an open source company.
Too bad the ignorant mods haven't heard the Dell/Jobs story.

Can we assume this is dealt with or n/a for OpenJDK? Why aren't the large users of Java cooperating to remove Oracle's significance here?
Breach of fiduciary duty. Or in other words, acting against the interest of shareholders by selling Nokia down the river to Microsoft.
What, just because every other company that got in bed with Microsoft ended up acquired or destroyed? Good luck getting a judge to go along with it.
it's not even certain that had they gone with Android, they wouldn't already be dead.
Nokia quality hardware that's well-supported by an App Store and something like Cyanogenmod? Sign me up!
I like my Motorola handset well enough but it's just not as well-made as my old Nokia gear.
You should make an account so more people will bother to read your contributions.

So, does Perl drive you crazy or do you have to be crazy to program in Perl?
Some people just can't get their head around Perl. That's OK, there's always python. We'll treat you with compassion.
Does that seem right to you?
He 'stole' from rich people. That's how it works in the 21st century.
