Not really. Not saying its trivial, but with 99% of the applications out there, the actual coding isn't all that hard for someone who does it professionally, but it *is* time consuming to do it right.
What *is* hard is getting the requirements from your client, getting them to stick with it long enough to finish the project, and then supporting them afterward.
Umm a normal car today ( and recent past ) has more embedded computers than you can sneeze at.. And basic ECM's have been around for a LONG time. All of these take code.
And yes they are, " what you are doing is wrong, do this instead" really is telling someone what to do. Not that they can enforce it of cousre, but they are telling us what they think we should be doing.
I don't like what we are doing either, but if you think you have the right to tell another sovereign nation what they can and cant do like this, you can simply go to hell.
Besides, Europe doesn't have a spotless record either.. Hypocrites.
Why are we blaming apple here? They bought an *existing* patent. It was not their invention... If you want to blame anyone or shout prior art, shouldn't that be towards xerox instead?

No, say it isn't true..
They are all rooted ( as are china phones ). But buyer beware and do your homework. Some are good, most are complete garbage.
I don't think X11 for android exists.. And i know it doesn't for iOS..
You can do SSH + VNC...
Well that girl that was attacked last night, she should have put her self on the opt-out list. We assumed she was ok with it.
I'm not into more government intrusion into our lives, but the entire opt-out concept should be illegal. It should *all* be opt-in.

Like what variety of mushrooms they are smoking?
How about a printer that just takes data and prints it... No special drivers, nothing.. send it a Postscript file and it prints.
The censors cannot possibly hope to keep up.
Perhaps they fully understand this and that is all part of the plan, with the eventual goal to ban it completely.
So we get to see a room full of racks.. Oh, some painted the racks pretty colors.. *yawn*
Sure, their raw power is impressive, but pictures of server racks?
Umm i suppose that means something different over there than it does in the states?
Or are they really that idiotic? ( oh wait, i guess this post will be banned too... )
Some people will never let go. I can think of 3 off the top of my head: RMS, Theo, Andrew...
The perpetual 'war' these people ( and others ) only serve to diminish their contributions.
So give them the "password" that erases the drive.. "sorry, i don't know what you people did to my computer".
Or the password to a partition that is of non issue. Like a bunch of Gutenberg books
My 30 year old 'hobby car' has an ECM. While you cant reprogram it externally its a computer with an EPROM that holds its code.
And it wasn't the first..

Who owns the moon? Hasn't it been 'claimed' by the US and Russians ( perhaps more .. )?
Umm internet access isn't a human right.

Yes that was the case, but today, there are other options for people that don't want to register here in the US. Which is my point, no one is forced.
And no the UN is a bad answer, for ANY question. ( well except if you are asking what should be disbanded )

As an EU citizen, I find US practices completely unacceptable.
Then don't register your domain here if you don't like the rules here. Problem solved.
The whole world would be much saner, happier and peaceful place without US.
ya, right, remember that the next time we bail your ass out of trouble. Idiot.
Nothing new there.
We would have been interested in your answer.
Define "we". Most of us have tired of him decades ago.
They used to have similar 'export laws' for similar reasons. I assume they still do.

The patent proceeded apple too, they bought it from xerox. You will need to check the actual patent, not the apple connection.
Also, depending on what it references, it may still hold.
Because its illegal to share that knowledge with some countries. For good reasons.
