They have to know they wouldn't last 3 weeks against a U.S. military onslaught.
Their leaders know this. These announcements are meant for their own people. Also consider; the moment its widely known that the US is only a threat to N. Korea (Europeans; NO ONE HERE GIVES N. KOREA A SECOND THOUGHT, NOT EVEN AS AN EXCERSISE IN CAPITOLISM, BARELY AS A PREMISE OF A SECOND-RATE FILM) becuase their leaders say so, thier grip on the country is shot. The driving force behind any totalitarian regime is the threat of external force. Read your Orwell. Classic "War is Peace" ism in effect there.
IT WILL BE FINE. Christ. You make me feel like I have to qualify all my posts for every mouth breathing, neckbeard, bean counter on the internets. Go date. A GIRL.
Forget the nonsense and pay for the extended life battery, when available for your phone. They're worth it and changing a battery in the middle of a conversation is not an option. My phone works for hours more with my elb. Heaven.
you don't need a 64-bit system to deal with 64-bit numbers - it's just dealing with them is a lot slower as the compiler emits library calls to perform the arithmetic...
A lot slower? Nah. Negligble, at best. It'll be fine.

Preparer;
I laughed with much glee at the attempts of the the puny humans to calculate the cost of this death star "super weapon". It surely could never rival the power of our star system destructo ray! Make sure Kang and Kodos have prepared the invasion fleets!
Had one of these at my desk during several jobs in the 90's. I think the main benefit was in having coworkers ask me what the hell they were and them demonstrating them, but I've always had one, enjoyed using them, and never had significant wrist problems. Ringing endorsement? No, but worth $20, sure.
I disagree. I think a revolution needs to happen. Something that makes these murderers pause for a second. Just one second. A kind of "Oh my gosh, maybe a life of pillage and rapine isn't going to be so profitable in the future..." Sure, you can white knight your way around and see how far that gets you. Sooner or later a Batman is needed to do the work that no one else will.
I'd agree with you normally, but in this case the banks are completely wrong. They're criminal, in fact. Here's a little known fact: name almost any large "institutional" bank, chances are you'll be naming a bank that was and has been complicate in the on-going laundering of drug and terrorist money. Name ANY ONE. To the tune of BILLIONS of dollars. ILLEGAL in ANY jurisdiction and punishable by YEARS in federal PRISON. NOT ONE of these "institutional" bank's major presidents, CEOs, CFO's, board members, NONE OF THEM, have been made to answer for these crimes. Fines have been paid, a billion in the case of HSBC, probably the worst offender, but NO ONE human being has been made to answer for these offenses, some of them used to fund the killing of thousands of people. "Too big to fail" was Obama said, didn't he? The government is complicate, but they at least are the one institution that is at least paying lip service to justice. Seems to me that the banks are the ones doing the screwing.
Turning this into a game with the hope of making money is cynical and tasteless.
Maybe, but totally protected under the 1st amendment. People and companies churn out tasteless crap all day. Perhaps they should all be censored. Good thing I don't have to buy Apple's crap.
...the game ran afoul of the guidelines for including Japanese flags in a WWII naval sim.
So if Godzilla were to attack New York would Apple deny a sim after the fact because it was unfair to monsters? Its absurd to disallow a game for including historically accurate imagery. The Rising Sun ensign isn't even a current national symbol of any current nation/state.
Well, experience is an interesting thing. As I grow older, YES, I find that I am able to leverage my over 20 years of C usage into less looking up and more valuable jobs... funny how that works.
I must be an aberration; when a C/C++ job comes around I actually enjoy going to work. With my collection of canned solutions and libraries at my disposal, when the employer oks C/C++ in the project, I actually feel empowered instead of hindered. Like Frodo in the Fellowship of the Ring, I have the STL's "Axe", Boost's, "Bow", and GNU/C's "Sword". Sry for the homage to common geek imagery.

Well known & popular product ships with security issues- company fixes said issues. Srsly... /.????
I clicked on the link offering Mega's response it came up with an SSL error, untrusted certificate, awesome.
Your browser informed you that it doesn't recognize Mega's CA, awsome. (And not a big deal.)
As long as we have the current system, there will be loopholes like this.
Look kids, you have to pick your fights. For me its been Apple. Apple has been my windmill. All others are nessessary evil.

I've never understood it.
Now you kids get the hell off of his lawn!

Ok, now THAT was funny.

Not, perhaps, the most compelling of arguments.
Oh? Good enough for me. But yes, I suppose yelling fire in a theater on fire is redundant.
most adults consider that monsters are not real
Totally irrelevant to the point I was making. Stay on point to be an effective, persuasive, writer.

Into what platform should companies sink development time instead?
Not Apple.

Xbox Live Indie Games and Windows Phone 7 only support C#...
Ok, think about the statement. Then tell me how many XBox GAMES are written in C#...
Put "C" into several orbits. Sry.

D is a solution in search of a problem. Hasn't been relevant since the STL, and libraries like boost put it into several orbits over D.
No no no... mod up. He/She has a point. Google isn't THAT precisely as relevant as Google, Inc, would have you believe.
Seriously. Isn't it about time we all came to grips with the fact that Javascript != Java?
