Innocents? They provided him the information. In most countries just doing that is enough to get convicted for treason. If they didn't want the information to be published why did they give it to Wikileaks to begin with?
Do you think there is anyone with a flawless personality? I still admire him for what he did exposing all that information. But it doesn't mean I need to appreciate his entire way of life.
the posting of so much crap to slashdot that is to my eyes disengenuos shill corporate apologist bullshit is making it less and less of a place I want to visit
You bet. Plus what is up with popups for cookies that you can only get out of by either closing the window or pressing 'I Agree'. Fuck you Slashdot.
You don't know the definition of what a monopoly is. Perhaps YOU should read the letter of the law. The fact is Microsoft forced manufacturers in Asia to drop BeOS and Linux desktops and laptops because if they did not do that their Windows licensing costs would increase. In fact that is the reason some people think Sony dropped their laptop business altogether. They just don't want to bother dealing with Microsoft anymore if they can avoid it.
Dude. Have you ever bothered watching the charts on dashboard? The oldest version that is still in common use is Gingerbread which is Android 2.3. In fact it is getting displaced by Android 4.x.
Hah. iOS. It has exploits too. Every heard of jailbreaking?
Apple hasn't upgraded my iPhone 3GS for yonks now. In fact I have good reasons to believe someone stole my Apple account login ID last month when I access the Internet via 3G. Then you tell it is more safe? Hah.
Does that userbase overlap with the Facebook userbase? Can you get $42 per person? Can it not the easily displaced by something else? Skype actually developed meaningful things like the SILK codec. What did these bozos develop?
CEO pay is overrated. From what I can see CEO pay is not directly tied to performance at all. Not to mention that most CEOs get to be CEOs because they like power to dictate over other people. Salary is less relevant.
You have two options. One is that you NEVER resell the software to anyone. GPL does not forbid you from doing such as long as you don't redistribute it. The other option is to simply cease to use the GPLed software. If you have distributed the software to a 3rd party you have to distribute the source to ALL of it however.
The story is bullshit. Not going to happen. I can see them replicating the Android API and virtual machine but not the kernel. Plus it would take them a lot of time to do it and they would be continually behind Google in API development. Good luck. Not.
Probably. But they aren't as dumb as you think. I have met them on occasion in conferences and they seem to have a pretty good grasp at maths theory, physics, etc. Many of their diaspora are top notch research staff in North America. So dumb they are not. Their problem is they are too isolated by sanctions and can't easily access modern machine tools and other things required to actually build stuff.

No. This is a good idea. They risk being out of the market. If companies like MS and Apple keep owning this space they won't have a place to be in.
Yes exFAT alone is enough to slap this moron MS apologist in the face. Explain how that is something irrelevant Mr MS apologist.

Dude. It has the same hash value. What do you think?
Try reading about the Enercon vs GE case.

Impossible of course.
Light? Try using a fully upgraded 3GS and tell me its fast. It isn't. Plus its full of security holes because Apple doesn't support it anymore.

Board is usually 'institutional investors' i.e. banks and insurance companies. Small stockholders don't have a chance of influencing it.
He just drank too much of the koolaid.
Skype? Hah. Remember ICQ?
The funny thing is Facebook bought for billions a company which makes software running over XMPP. THAT was pathetic.
Games probably use native code.

If Microsoft can't touch it all the better. They are the scummiest software company on Earth. Well them and Oracle.

'Atlantis' is Crete. Minoan culture.
It is not like IM was invented yesterday you know? Some of us have better things to do than figure out what's the irrelevant app of the day.
I bet there are more people who are allergic to beans than to consuming animal protein.

Dude. Stuxnet was allegedly written by them and/or the US. So...
There is no concrete proof of it of course. Just some pathnames.
