This is all well and good for google, they have the financial means to provide some support; but what about the millions of other small websites out there ran by people without the time or money to support their site or communicate with the users. If I put up a simple tool online to use for myself and it became popular, would I legally be required to communicate with the random people coming to my site in Germany? Id sooner shut some of the sites down than be legally required to provide some level of support or communications.
I hope this isnt an april fools joke (a judge making an intelligent decision) but assuming its not, this is a pretty significant win for developers in general.
bitcoin isnt a popularity contest, its an open distributed currency that was originally created to get away from the current system. asking if government regulation is a good tradeoff for increased popularity means you clearly dont get why people created bitcoin or are switching to bitcoin
Its too bad slashdot has been reduced to articles like. I applaud google for helping out the individuals rights to choose what software they run on the computer, and find it shocking that the new slashdot owners are posting an article trying to shun google for helping in an anti-trust case. Aren't we supposed to be on the side of those people fighting for things like this? Next up our new slashdot overlords will be poking fun at the EFF.
It doesn't have to wind up being an atmosphere thats really compatible with human life but life in general would be good, and I acknowledge millions of years might not be enough time, but I don't see humans lasting on earth more than a few million more years at most .
They should be loading their rovers and satellites up with as many forms of bacteria and simple life forms as they can. We should be encouraging spreading life as much as possible. It might not effect us now but millions of years from now we could have planets in our solar system with lots of carbon based life and atmospheres more hospitable to humans so when we eventually destroy the Earth we have a few fallback plans.
(B) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
That one worries me the most as its very vague and the terms obstructing and impeding can be interpreted any number of ways. Simply talking out against say a trial could be considered impeding justice, and by doing so the government can now use military force against you.
PowerColor makes video cards based on Radeon chipsets that support 3+ monitors and have been making them for a long time. They weren't really mentioned in the article but worth looking into.
We do trust current robots implicitly. Robots of all types of deployed and mostly run our industrial and manufacturing industries. They are showing up in the homes as well. The typical robots that you read about or see in movies are typically empowered with logic and AI well beyond anything we can actually create. As long as the 'intelligence' of robots continue to be (easily) understood and fully grasped by us this will not change. When robots start advancing beyond our comprehension that is the point when we will start to fear them, but that holds true of anything beyond our comprehension.
This entire secureboot setup gave all the power and leverage to microsoft. Its not even a matter of do you trust the company, its a public company that who knows might not be a round in a few years, do you really want to risk giving the key to update and unlock new computers to a company and hope it all works out for the best?
HTC makes pretty good phones from what I've seen over the years. They aren't the top of the line devices but they aren't far behind either usually at a fraction of the cost (especially getting refurbished they get really cheap). They come with a good set of hardware and software and update the software for each new phone for a few months, but after that they tend to forget about the phone and move onto the next piece of hardware without looking back. They should spent the next few years focusing on revamping their software support to fall in line more with Samsung and Google's level. While CyanogenMod is a currently available alternative for some, its not available for others. Many of the HTC CM trees still suffer from too many problems like excessive battery draining.
I'm surprised this hasn't been a basic requirement for patents of all types from the get-go. The application should also be required to show that their patent shows significant improvement over previous software, not just a minor obvious tweak.
why bother paying tons of money developing new software, going through the painful growth and ironing out all the bugs of the new software, educating people on the new software, importing your current clients into new software, getting modern hardware to run the new software, installing modern networking equpment for the new hardware to run the new software, etc.. theres just no real reason to upgrade the software. There won't be many new exploits for COBOL based software as well, since its not used by the average person.
Building the giant damn in china effected earths rotation slightly, how would taking on all this extra mass effect us? Maybe not with just 1 meteor but if we do this several times there could be serious unforseen effects on our planet such as climate changes, changes in our orbit around the sun, etc..
Its generally impossible to accurately predict write and read speeds on a drive, only average speeds. This is even moreso when the reading or writing is done over a network. Beyond that updating a progress bar too often takes away processing power from what is actually installing or being done on the system. A single progress bar often represents many tasks being done in the background. If your first tasks are say installing files to a hard drive, you can semi accurately guage a progress and a completion time, but if at the end you are also doing some cpu intensive calculations like post install optimizations, its hard to tell how long they will take until they have already been done without slowing down the install by benchmarking the processor before the install begins.
The entire reason I ever watch TV at all anymore is for something unexpected, even sometimes to watch the latest commercials. If i know what I want ahead of time, I'll watch it on netflix or something. If I want some random entertainment I sit in front of the TV, please don't take that away from me.
So in other words, the ubuntu phone supports nothing. Its up to manufacturers who already dont update their phones to take on the responsibility of writing compatible kernel patchs for another phone os they wont make any money off of?
This isn't the case, each device supported officially or unofficially by cyanogenmod took alot of developers working on each individual phones hardware. Most phones all required their own set of patchs and tweaks to get things working in the kernel. Cyanogenmod supported hardware was painfully done 1 phone/tablet at a time. The problem is a mix of both vendors and google.
Great video Ubuntu, but while saying the new OS will support all existing android based phones among others, you didn't really go into any detail. Most android companies throw together a set of patchs to get the android environment working with their specific hardware, so we wind up with a ton of slightly different android patched kernels not very compatible with eachother. In supporting a range of hardware how do you plan on dealing with this issue? Will there be seperate repos for each phone or will there be a generic ARM repo ?

With all their current pollution, i doubt china would even notice.
Nobody will really miss them.

I'm pretty sure the US courts handle IP infringment a lot more harshly than any of the stuff NK does.

You can resell it all you want, that doesn't mean the console will play it. New games will be activated and tied to only 1 console.

Thats one of the more recent sparc servers, there shouldnt be much of a problem.
