Yes, tetris is relatively simple for an experienced programmer. Now try explaining all the above to someone who doesn't even know what "programming language" means and get them to implement it. Good luck,
"There are a load of systems where making something like Pac Man or Tetris is possible in a day or two for someone with no prior programming experience."
I really doubt that. There's a lot more to those games than the artwork, there's a hell of a lot of logic under the hood that no novice is going to replicate at all, never mind in a day or two. Unless the IDE comes with some pre-packaged logic designed for these games already.
But attacking a childrens hospital because of one particular case that Mr Self Appointed Judge and Jury clearly had issues with is really setting a new low bar. I honestly hope they put him in a cell with Big Bubba and throw away the key. And at 31 years old the guy needs to grow the fuck up fast. This is the sort of shit that teenagers pull, not a supposed adult.
"Had it been targeted against the incompetent doctor(s) i would have no problem with this."
So a stressed out doctor who may have worked 80 hours that week makes one mistake and you think its ok to cyber attack him systems which may compromise patients records or even their treatment??
Why the fuck do people like you think you're judge and jury??!
Even easier - just cut horizontally into the card from the right hand side about 2-3cm. It severs the antenna but the card is still usable in all non contact devices.
It must be good because it saves Joe Dumbfuck from having to remember his PIN and spending 5 secs entering it!
Seriously , if the banks and stores had suddenly suggested bring out a system whereby you just shove your card in the slot but don't need to bother to enter your PIN any more for the shop syphons off your cash there would have been an outcry. But because its contactless - Oooo! Magic! - no one seems to Get It.
"The fact that you relate him to robbers tells how off your mindset is about him."
That fact that you think you can extrapolate between an example and what I think of him shows you're just another idiot SJW posting as A/C because you only bother posting in threads where you can rant.
"gave him assurances that he would not be extradited to the US which they refused to do."
Assange is wanted for questioning for possible crimes having been committed. Why should the swedish legal system make any concessions to him?
"They are obeying the letter of the law while completely spitting in the face of it's intent."
The only person "detaining" him in that embassy is himself. He can walk out anytime he wants. Whether you agree the swedish case has merit or not, this UN ruling is just imbecillic nonsence from a committee that long ago lost any credibility. What next - bank robbers are being "arbitrarily detained" in a bank if the police show up before they've escaped?
Firefox used to be multiprocess, in the sense that if you started a new instance a new process would start. But they then heard about threading and decided it must be the solution to everything so now when you kick off a new firefox instance (on linux anyway) when one is already running it checks for some shared memory, and if its there hands over to the current firefox process which kicks off a new thread then the process you started dies. A very complex, inefficient and security poor method of doing things. But probably looked good on some former firefox devs CVs.
Is the javascript emulating the OS and all applications itself or is the javascript emulating an old PC and then the windows binaries are running on that? I'm guessing the latter since doing the former would be a boatload of work. Impressive whichever way they did it.
Its only centralized with a 'z' if you're american or canadian. The rest of the english speaking world uses an 's'. So you might want to check your facts first before you pull someone up on their spelling.
Yes, but morocco is on the border of the Sahara desert. I don't think there'll be many problems with sunlight during the day so his comparison with overall european effectiveness of solar power is idiotic.

"I fear the same thing will happen to these; they'll be smashed and graffitied to death in minutes"
And pressing the red emergency button and running off will probably become a favourite pastime for the local kids.
Tabs are bloody useful for indentation since people can set the tab width to whatever they want when viewing code. Good luck doing that with spaces.
"A jury is a pretty stupid concept. "
I think my initial subject line was too kind to you. You're clearly an utter moron.

That should read non contactless devices!

" which makes you a huge ASSHOLE."
ITYM a-r-s-ehole. I don't own a donkey. Though you're doing a good impression of one.
"Fuck You."
Aww bless, Julians baby brother is on /.
Yeah, isn't that odd. Assanges bluff got called and now he's backpedalling with help from his corrupt equadorian chums.

Do try to grow up at some point.

FTA:
"The worst is an out-of-bounds read bug (CVE-2016-1521) that allows attackers to crash the system"
Err no. It'll crash the browser (or whichever userspace program is using the library). Thats a bit different to crashing the kernel.
Bring back the X Font Server and get off my lawn!
No remote doesn't work for me and a new profile rather defeats the point of having a browser with all your settings doesn't it.
Its just words unless its enforced. Which is isn't. Try paying in cash for some online services. Good luck.

In a number of jurisdictions around the world , pirating media counts as theft and is treated accordingly.

Careful what you wish for. If the law was always followed to the letter by the authorities all those pirates would have criminal records by now.

"Solar typically supplies slightly less often than wind, at least in Europe,"
Err, Morocco is in north Africa you halfwit.
