In my completely (full disclosure) anecdotal opinion yes, these technologies DO make it into consumer products, but the change seems to be incremental, not all at once. So I've seen batteries get better over time, but I've never purchased a product with a battery that is a game changer.

wtf are you talking about? You remind me of a numbers nut job that crank Noory was interviewing on coast to coast am. After a few minutes of her blathering even George was going "Huh"?
They don't build temples to the Red Brigade, hide in 'em, and plan terror attacks. Which is the bigger threat in your mind right now? Radical Islam, or the Red Brigade? If your hiding under your bed right now because of the threat from the the Red Brigade give your girlfriend my number. She will welcome the refreshing change I'll bring to her life.
Islam is evil because religion is evil. There never was a more harmful plague on mankind. Killing each other because MY imaginary guy in the sky is better than yours. What nonsense.
Nope. Was keeping my passwords in a plain text file on my phone and encrypting that directory, but that got to be kind of cumbersome. Now I'm going to sound like a shill (for myself) but I decided to write my own password app. Probably not as slick as your "Keepass" thingy there, but I've looked at a number of apps and all fall short in my eyes, they usually do waay too much or waaay too little than what I need. Mine is simple; it keeps all my passwords together in one spot, and the list is exportable as an xml file (the passwords are encrypted using aes-256). I can export all my passwords to another phone (or tablet) or even to my pc if I want (which means I'll have to create a manager of some kind for the pc if I want to go that far). Its like 80% done (just wrote the export code in today in fact), and it'll be done in a few days I think. I'm not trying to shake up the world here, its just been a nice little exercise in android development and I get a nice little password database that does exactly what I need it to do. This is not a commercial app, but if you want a copy let me know and I'll post the link to it on the app store as soon as I have it done. It will be beer free and nagless. So if you find a bug FIX IT YOURSELF.
Oh please, show me a language that doesn't have what you call "ugliness" in it. Having to use unicode strings in your app because it'll run on windows (why microsoft couldn't use the saner utf8 character set is beyond me) but, yes, "that's the way it is". Not sure how that's an indication of "ugliness". You want something to work, do it right, or create your own mechanism. You're completely free to take the android platform and create your own programming environment using what ever language you want if you find jni so ugly. However, if you find that you need to create a union between your language of choice and another one, lets see how you handle it. As I said, java is not my go to language. But that's how i write my android apps. And if I want to access a c/c++ library for some reason, a jni object to get to it is just not a big deal to me. It is to you, not to me. So what.
Uh, no. As noted earlier, just because you are a third party doesn’t make you immune from constitutionality and law suites. Evidenced by the many issues we've seen in the news the last few years by bounty hunters breaking in the doors of the wrong house. They most certainly have had to face constitutionality and law suites, as well as the local authority they were acting under. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, in many jurisdictions bounty hunters must be deputized by the local sherrif.
interesting opinion given that the power seat is currently occupied by a Democratic ass. But yes, those damn Republicans are responsible for everything that's wrong...
A little confusing; the client is usually the accused, unless this were some kind of civil case, the rules for those are different from criminal trials. Anyway, A conversation between a defence lawyer and his client are definitely protected and covered constitutionally under client-attorney privilege, this has been the law in the land since the founding. That jurisdictions break it doesn't make it legal.
BAD attitude to have. People sitting in jail aren't necessarily convicted yet. Add to that the number of convicted people sitting in prisons because of rogue prosecutors; ie; wrongly convicted, which DNA testing has shown a number of. If we had your attitude we'd continue (not that we've stopped, but we've seen a growing number of these) we'd be the most murderous (from executions) and punitive nation on earth. And I have a hard time with that, given we're a "civilized" society and all. I'd like to hear your attitude after you were fingered for a murder you were no where near.
Java call from native which is really ugly to do...
Not really, you call your C API from a jni layer, big deal. What's so messy about that? The bigger problem in my mind are 1) Everything has a version you need to be aware of, from the api to java itself to the vm to external libraries to widgets, which is typical in development but its really kind of hairy with android. Still, development is possible. I've written a few android apps, its certainly doable. But calling an api from and ndk library through JNI is hardly "ugly", its not even a big deal. Google has chosen Java as its platform language. That's how you access native code from a java code base; JNI. Its not ugly, just the way it is.
This is a non-story. Most ventures fail, this is not news, this is a typical example. As for the engineering, I'm not exactly sure what problem they were trying to solve that conventional rotor wings couldn't over come, but a lot of inventions start out to solve one problem and are actually more beneficial for another. Acrylic was invented this way, among many other things. Its not uncommon to set out to solve X, and turn out solving Y. So, rather than look at this as a failure let's celebrate this as the ability to access money to try things out. Even stupid ones.
The TSA illustrates Smith's Maxim perfectly: "The reaction of every state from the beginning of time to threats, real or perceived, external or internal, has been to simply victimize its own people. Always and in every case, without exception."
To date AES-256 is still secure, at least the NSA doesn't confirm or deny they can break it, most researchers assume they haven't yet, although quantum decryption methods may change that, certainly. And of course one-time pads are by their nature unbreakable.
Yeah, I used 2.0 about that time. I liked it, and REXX was very powerful, a very good scripting language. But, yeah, time to move on I think. OS/2 is relegated to neckbeard's still maintaining their Amigas and C/64 machines playing block/character graphics games.
Macro or C script; known secure is known secure, if Torvalds produced a more elegant solution for the problem at hand, well, just because rants a lot doesn't mean he's wrong. He's annoying, but not wrong.
She did leave HP a mess. She was the one to cause a lot of their top engineering talent to walk, she tried to shift HP to a products company with the Compaq acquisition which was a huge boondoggle in the end, and hp's stock price fell 55% under her watch. You don't get fired for doing a good job.
I certainly agree on that. Which reverses the constitutional mandate that the accusers (the prosecutors) are supposed have the burden of proof; they must prove the accused is guilty. The money in the system shifts that burden to the accused in very real terms. Making the judicial system completely broken. This MUST be addressed. Not needs, MUST.
Here's a thing that would appear to point to a (another) big flaw in the system; prosecutors are apparently immune from their flawed actions. They're slow to remedy wrongful convictions in these cases this Annie Dookhan tainted, and they don't appear to be accountable. Many of the news articles (and there are a lot about this lab, not only was this Dookhan character tainting evidence, but a co-worker routinely dipped into the drug bin and was high during her processing) remark on the fact that the prosecutors involved refuse to do anything about the thousands sitting in jail based on these faulty tests citing they followed procedure. I can't think of a bigger flaw in a system wherein the ones in power refuse to correct the situation. The criminal justice system in this country is in dire straits. Thanks mainly to the war on drugs.

You do have a point Sir Neville Chamberlain.
