Under copyright law, you can ask for money based on (purely hypothetical, so make the number high) sales lost, and also you can include any money the perpetrator earned by using the copyrighted material. The number can be quite high.
Programmers get so focused on making things work, 95% of the testing they do is geared toward that, toward doing whatever is supposed be used for, given correct input. They forget to test the negative
I guess that makes it easiest to learn for the highest number of people (at least, European language speakers). I've been thinking of different ways to learn languages. My current thinking is to learn a bunch of words quickly (maybe two thousand words), then learn a few of the grammar rules, then spend a lot of time reading (and watching movies). Of course if you actually live in a place where the language is spoken, it's easier, but that's not always possible.
Billeto makes sense in Spanish, but native English speakers will equate it most easily to a bill in a restaurant, or a dollar bill. And then wonder why the Spanish word is not "ticketo" which clearly makes more sense.
Appletalk definitely did do us a service, by exploring the limits of that language paradigm.
The geek has been trying to dethrone Microsoft Office for longer than I care to remember without having any great impact on Microsoft's small business and enterprise markets.
A solid replacement for Excel is entirely the barrier there. Once that exists, the Microsoft Office empire will crumble.
Another benefit of the GPL: you can dual-license to make sure everyone contributes back in some way or another (You can technically do the same with a BSD license, but no one would pay for it).
Never understand why google wanted to use Java in the first place.
According to the internal emails, they were behind schedule, and they decided that was the only complete programming environment they would be able to get set up in time. There wasn't a lot of explanation justifying that point, though.
OK, now I was curious enough to actually look for examples of Einstein humor. To some degree, he has the sort of self-deprecating humor that you'd see in eastern Europe. Einstein humor quotes:
You ask me if I keep a notebook to record my great ideas. I’ve only ever had one
It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.
I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
Maybe that is the kind of Yiddish sense of humor, I don't know. It doesn't quite feel Russian to me (obviously it's not), too optimistic.
Kind of an interesting example. To some degree, Einstein, in his mannerisms and such, reminds me of Stallman, though from a different era. Check out Einstein, and compare with Stallman. They both have the same whiny, high-pitched voice, for example. They both had similar cultural backgrounds, as well (though again, separated by a few generations).
However, if you aren't going to buy anything that has had a remote code exec vuln, you should probably consider using pen and paper, exclusively!
Uh, a computer with no OS installed should never have a vulnerability. Ever.
It's not a hard thing to do, there are plenty of models that have succeeded, even from crappy companies like Compaq.
If you're going to release something that allows hackers to have ultimate, undetectable control over the computer, you better give it a security audit. All indications are that Intel does not have proper security processes for their systems. This is just one example.
Stallman's greatest achievement was spreading the idea of free software. His second greatest achievement was the GPL. GCC was a great achievement and Clang is a derivative (note that it uses basically the same command-line interface, and many of the GNU extensions to C), but I don't think anyone is rushing to switch to Clang except Apple. In any case, GCC has changed quite a bit since Stallman was working on it.
Privilege escalation exploits are a dime a dozen, so ultimately all those permissions can be circumvented. They serve to block semi-good actors (people who are only trying to track you, not completely control your system).
oh my god he needs to stop acting like the bearded freak show on the city corner on a soap box screaming THE END IS NIGH.
Why? It's pretty clearly working for him. Note that Psychology Today just gave him a platform to spread his ideas to a new audience. They didn't interview Simon Phipps, Director of the Open Source Initiative, or even Bruce Perens or Eric (sorry Bruce). Acting like a false prophet has advantages in directing the media.
The main thing he would benefit from is avoiding his tics, like biting his nails while talking to people. But overall his persona attracts a lot of positive attention.
Also, some of the most widely used Linux systems don't use GNU,
Which was the original rationale for using GNU/Linux (even if it wasn't the original motivation). With android and busybox, the rationale makes more sense, and the distinction between GNU/Linux and Android/Linux becomes useful.
At one point, he single-handedly matched an entire team of programmers in productivity, feature for feature:
In his outrage, Stallman spent nearly two years single-handedly re-creating (and sometimes besting) every new Symbolics feature in the MIT code, keeping LMI alive. The feat astounded his fellow software designers. Eventually Stallman saw there was no future in Lisp machines and decided to do something constructive rather than vengeful. “And that’s GNU,”
He also sometimes carries zero-dollar bills, which he uses to bribe people, including passport agents. As Stallman says, “It’s legally valid and any U.S. agency will give you zero dollars in gold for it.” He gave one to Barney Frank hoping he’d vote no on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which bans breaking digital restrictions management. (Frank voted yes, and Stallman “lost all respect for him.” Plus Frank kept the cash.)
I don't have any experience writing to their mobile platforms. It sounds like you *wish* you didn't either.
tbh I enjoyed the mobile platforms that I got to work with, which was mainly 7. People were paying me to do it, and giving me the phones to work with, so as far as I was concerned, it was just a new toy for me to play with. And there were some good ideas.
If I'd had to make business decisions, things would have been different.

You said English is "not the most important." But then you gave reasons that seem to support that English is the most important.
I'm not sure how to apply that to this situation.......
Programmers get so focused on making things work, 95% of the testing they do is geared toward that, toward doing whatever is supposed be used for, given correct input. They forget to test the negative
How would you solve that problem?
I'm not sure the collaborative features are as popular as you claim. Certainly some people use them, but.......

Is there a proof-of-concept or anything for this vuln? I can't find anything.....I did find this, which clearly shows that HTTPS is vulnerable to hostile governments, but that's not the exploit you're talking about.

If they had been able to dismiss it successfully, would that have set a legal precedent?
For one thing, Google would suddenly have a valid defense against Oracle in their case over Java..........

So subtract the hours of the product manager from the estimation. Still not an easy feat.
I don't judge people who have alternate lifestyles.
Well sure. The team of programmers had families and lives outside of work and they stopped to bathe.
By literally cutting out everything (including sleep) he could do the work of three programmers working eight hours a day.

Despite his quirks, he's achieved more than you or I will.
In some ways, that's the definition of greatness: overcoming your weaknesses to accomplish something.
