Why can't you extract Java into the/opt directory and set your app's classpath to point their. I do that on Linux all the time. Then the app's I want to run on Oracle Java run on Oracle Java.
Not trolling... I don't use BSD really, but my understanding is that some of the BSD distros are more server focused. I don't mind being corrected but my understanding is this could be a legit alternative if the idea of splitting Linux is a no go. I don't know why BSD isn't seen or heard of more (I do know it is used and has a strong following, but doesn't seem as prevalent as Linux... Mac doesn't count here). For BSD adherents, maybe this is the break they are looking for?
Personally, I think all the previous versions of the iPhone (before 6) are butt fucking ugly, clunky looking things. And funny enough, their new phones look more like Samsung phones than their old POS designs. The only people who like (or are ooh and aah "inspired" by) the designs are hipsters who buy Apple for their hipster chic-ness and anyone else they can convince it's hipster chic. I also think this stupid idea would be so common if media types didn't give Apple such prominent media placement on TV and film all the time; they wouldn't be so cool. (At one time they had an advantage over Windows when they used Motorola chips in the 90s with monolithic memory as opposed to segmented memory when using media software in the pre pentium days... but now they have no advantage.)
I've used both extensively and haven't seen much difference except that the OSX 'Finder' app is the worst piece of shit file manager ever built and I keep feeling cheated that I have to pay for every little thing, nickle and dimed on Apple whenever I need to find something that works reasonably like a better file manager. Other than being Unix based it's got nothing over Windows (and I hate Windows 8, but given I can add 'classic shell' it's no worse than OSX). And fuck you if you say Windows isn't stable. I have no issues with Windows stablility since XP, and I have had OSX lock up so hard you could use it to cut glass. And retina displays? I don't care of the resolution is high, if you make the screen so fucking small I can't read it anyway, I don't care. People don't just buy 24 inch monitors for resolution. So in summary, fuck right off about 'inspiring people'.
Fuck, nothing better to throw me into a rant on the topic of computers than telling me that Apple design can 'inspire' me. Fuck right off.
I agree. It is why I enjoy the Fallout universe. Even if parts of the story are frankly lame, the fact I can wander around and find better 'mini stories' and interesting characters makes it worth while. I have finished the game a number of times trying different approaches: piling on individual attributes/skills at the beginning (get to max at agile or intelligence etc, and at small arms or sneak or melee weapons as fast as possible etc), being good, being bad, being neutral, etc. I'm looking forward to the next release.
If they ever do go online, I would prefer being able to be the lone wanderer if I still wish. And as far as the PC/console game, I'd rather not have to always be online. That one thing has been the major reason I don't game very much any more.
This is what they have been looking for: long term drug therapy they can charge whatever they want for. Pay or die. A cure doesn't pay enough. Yes I am cynical.
As to uncivilized retards making it into space, any place that still behaves the way you describe doesn't exhibit much intelligence and has very little likelihood of ever making it into space. And face it, any corporation that will make it to space has more resources and brain power than most uncivilized countries. And to to be generous, the places that can make it into space are the places that sell the tin pot dictatorships you speak of their fourth rate war gear. So if there was any concern the industry that does make it there will have access to far better defence technology than your banana republics. For the foreseeable future there is pretty much no chance that space flight will be so common or easy that we see the kinds of space pirates written about is science fiction. So all told, your point is moot.
Since you started a pissing contest: Sure. I have lived long term in two countries, worked in 3 on two continents, and have travelled to and through at least 14 countries on 3 continents (worked in 4 provinces and 5 states... only two of which count in months, been to six of the ten provinces in Canada, and 41 of the 50 US states). And I pay attention, from multiple sources, to what goes on in the world. And I suspect the reason you can claim to have worked in 14 countries is because mostly the countries are fairly tiny and close together, which means not that big a change in terms of the general culture. Anyone who moves around North America can make the same claim. The difference is it is civilized here, unlike it seems, anywhere you've been (compared to Africa, what went on in Ferguson MO, is a blip).
"any resources obtained in outer space from an asteroid are the property of the entity that obtained such resources."
Sounds to me like it says that whoever gets the iron, gold, iridium, space fairy dust, whatever from an asteroid owns it. I don't see how that is different from what happens on earth (aside from the space fairy dust). Whoever digs the hole generally owns the minerals extracted. What I didn't see is how they determine who owns the mine or has rights to mine a particular rock. Being a pretty extreme environment, at first it may just boil down to possession is nine tenths of the law. But I personally don't see any issues with this. Whoever gets the stuff out should own it. Just as long as they don't fuck up returning material to earth and accidentally drop a football field size chunk of iron or nickel (or whatever) on a city at orbital velocities. Maybe better to make the finished goods on the moon if they need gravity, or in lunar orbit first. Keep the big dangerous shit away from the planet.
I call it shitty, because it is shitty that people don't care enough. I don't know how you can take it that I don't care just because I think it's shitty that other people don't and/or are fatigued about it. So don't bitch at me. And the reason your suggestions won't work is because most people in the U.S. (and in many western countries) are too fucking apathetic to actually try to pressure their representatives to do something about it or vote for someone who will. Personally I eschew libertarianism, And as for Green Party, it depends what their platform is. Some, maybe many among them are too socialistic for my tastes. Some realize that business is important and try to strike a sustainable balance. Those I could go for. But without a populace willing to learn about their own systems of government and will to do something about it, it won't fly.
Easy: have an apathetic electorate. We the people by the people and all that.
"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active.

If you don't do something, then people that will do something, will get what they want. And it won't necessarily be what you like or even want; and you will have to live with it until when and if you do something about it.
I used to play that every day at the arcades. I knew one guy who was so good at it he could put in a quarter and play for hours and walk away with tons of extra men; if he didn't want to put his name up on the high scores.
They got money for the competition phase, then whatever bones Lockheed threw them. It definitely was not awarded to both parties. http://www.defense.gov/news/ne...
Read up on the Battle of Queenston Heights. America had a 3 to 1 advantage and even killed the British General Brock. But America suffered a decisive loss. Or how about The Surrender of Detroit where an entrenched American force surrendered to the British even though they numbered twice as big as the British force. It was the engagements during the war that count. Not a side show that happened after, even if those parties didn't know it was actually all over. Hey, I generally like America. I lived there long enough. But facts are facts. It was victory for the British/Canadians considering the objective of America was to take over Canada, which they didn't. Canada was successfully defended, which also counts as a victory. Not the overwhelming ass-whooping Canadians like to think of it. But still a victory. And it was 200 years ago. So get over it. Everyone.
When America introduced the Susan B Anthony dollar, it didn't fail because it was bad. It failed because the mint didn't remove the paper dollar from circulation combined with the fact that people in general don't like change. Canada introduced a dollar coin and removed the paper dollar from circulation, denying people the choice. The dollar coin has been successfully in circulation for at least 25 years. If you want to get people to adopt a new standard, don't give them the option to use the old one.

FTFY: Apple's design choices inspire hipsters
Personally, I think all the previous versions of the iPhone (before 6) are butt fucking ugly, clunky looking things.

Exactly why I don't go to church. Which I hate. Because now I have to always tell the truth. Tell the truth or go to church. One or the other. Sigh.
And your point would be?
Because you would be dead.
And it has an expected end when things go back to normal.

Same complaint in Canada. When they have no choice, then they do it.
When America introduced the Susan B Anthony dollar, it didn't fail because it was bad. It failed because the mint didn't remove the paper dollar from circulation combined with the fact that people in general don't like change.

If you want to get people to adopt a new standard, don't give them the option to use the old one.
At worst the War of 1812 was a stalemate, at best it was a British/Canadian victory. Even if marginal. Only commenting on the basis of correcting a error (or outright troll/lie). I won't respond to any more of your trolls on the subject.
