Pernicious nonsense. The Tea Party is a group of patriotic Americans who seek to return this great country to the principles on which it was founded: liberty and equal rights for all, except slaves, Indians and women.
And now, let the flood of "Oh, Apple would never do that" replies begin:
Oh, they'd like to. But do you really think they'd get away with it? They got away with it on iOS, because that was a completely new market. So there wasn't a previous version to compare it with. If they cripple an existing product (Mac OS), you bet their users will complain.
Git and Mercurial (hg) are not sites, they're programs. They have nothing to do with code review. You could say that they do promote "efficient code exchange", but so does any other VCS. Are you seriously trying to tell us that these big labs are not using version control while developing their systems?
So what if they do? The US Treasury will pay that debt, at a fixed interest rate, no matter who holds it. How does this give China any power over the US?
All who follow the mighty Jobs know that the only proper religious symbols are cmd-c, cmd-v
Why such harsh language? No, they're not heretics. Just a few of our brothers and sisters - OK, a few of our brothers - who've been led astray. We may disagree with them, but we can keep this disagreement civil. Hearken to the words of Mr. T: yea, we do not hate the fool; we pity the fool.
No, we must reserve our hatred for the vile, damnable, iniquitous cult of the yy and the p.
Its very telling that manufacturing, in general, rarely if ever had to rely on prison labor or slavery
Nazi Germany did it. So did the USSR. As for the rest of the industrialized countries: they had already outlawed slavery by the time they became industrialized.
If all of the above is true, why the hell didn't he say so? Walking out of the interview just makes people think that he's got something to hide, or that he's a petulant asshole (I'm thinking both).
I'm sure there is. But it doesn't matter. It's 2011 - banks don't care about old-fashioned criteria like 'credit-worthiness' or 'proper identification'.
I have an issue with people throwing away the excellent JVM just to use a new language.
Right at the top of The Friendly Article, for which a link has been conveniently provided: "It is built to run on the JVM".
so much effort has gone into making it portable, secure and reliable, why re-invent that.
Because of the patents held by Oracle? It's still up in the air as to whether or not those patents mean anything, but if they do, then we may be forced to reinvent it.
They're releasing the implementation under a BSD license. And unlike that other giant software company back in the old days, they don't have an overwhelming market share, so they can't just ram new standards down everyone's throats. If they make it incompatible, then nobody will use it. So it looks pretty good so far.
Slashdot Mirror
under normal circumstances and ones in which nuclear reactors are supposed to be engineered to handle, things like this don't happen
Well, thank goodness! For a while there, I thought we had a major disaster on our hands.
If the Japanese can't do this shit safely, then who can?
The Muppet Show did one episode with Mickey Moose and Ronald Duck. And I don't think they got in trouble for it.
Whatever happened to providing a useful service and having your clients pay you for it?
"We've partnered with organizations to help us combat this and to distribute newsworthy content in the appropriate manner."
What plausible interpretation of this sentence can you give that doesn't involve selling content?
Talk Abbottabad place to hide.

Right. Because it's impossible to be repressed by anybody who's not an agent of the government.
Last I checked, non-competes were also unenforceable in California and a couple other states. So the US doesn't suck completely.
So it's actually worse... they don't just give out people's info to the cops, they give it out to anyone who can pay.
How can a patent be subject to the GPL? That doesn't make sense.
to enable Jersey for example you only have to add a couple of lines to web.xml
If it's deployed in Glassfish 3, you don't even need that.
Toxicity isn't a binary state, it's a continuum. So yeah, technically sugar can be toxic, but that headline is just cheap sensationalism.
Most Americans should eat less refined sugars, and more fresh vegetables. This is supposed to be news?
China holds a lot of our debt
So what if they do? The US Treasury will pay that debt, at a fixed interest rate, no matter who holds it. How does this give China any power over the US?
No, the key word here is points. For a single frame, you only need the x and y coordinates of 12 points.

The best minds of our generation are tasked with determining strategies for financial companies
And we all know how that worked out.

No, Java's syntax is a problem. Not as big as the other problem you mention, but it's still a problem.
