To take advantage of the new features in HTML5 the user had to update to the latest browser. Nothing prevents a different scripting language from being introduced to the browser environment, since the new language would live alongside Javascript and people would update to the latest version of their browser software to view content using the new language.
Eventually the browsers would evolve from "Javascript built in / NewLang plugin" to "Javascript built in / NewLang built in" and ultimately to "NewLang built in / Javascript plugin".
Your rhetoric doesn't align well with reality. Imports of sugar from Mexico grew under NAFTA. HFCS has more to do with profit margins and "Big Food's" ability to squeeze as much merchantable material from its raw materials.
If a large food corporation purchase corn and process it for food, the corporation would rather process the by-products into a useable/sellable ingredient than having to pay for disposal. They can undercut sugar as much as they want since break even or a little loss is still less of an expenditure than disposal.
You must be using a different definition of "copying". Since if the complaint is with "B" for copying "A" then you must have the same complaint with "A".
The difference between Apple and MS is subtle. Apple uses a proprietary connector on its mobile products to create an accessory market that the competitors can't take advantage of. Apple doesn't prevent the users from using the product with this connector by actually providing an adapter cable. The fine article above is talking about Microsoft making a proprietary connector for Kinects and not offering an adapter with the intent of preventing the Kinect from being used on the PC. MS probably has a PC version in the works and don't want the one that is on the XBox One to cannibalize its sale.
You do realize that the actual article is talking about Xbox One Kinect will have a non-standard connector and not offer a method of connecting to a PC?
That is totally different than what "Spy Handler" was accusing Apple of doing. Don't let the details of the actual article interfere with your Apple bashing.
The link you just gave says " The most accurate description is CLU’s “call by object” or “call by sharing“. Or, if you prefer, “call by object reference“.
In other words, it IS call by reference. The author is trying to be clever.
I think he meant that all Apple products come with a standard USB, firewire, or thunderbolt cable or use standardized wireless protocols like BT or WiFi.
asm.js - which turns anything from a LLVM intermediate representation into javascript code that runs around 2x the speed of native c/c++ code in supported browsers and as fast as any other piece of JS code in all the other browsers
I'm more than a little skeptical of your claim. A presentation at GDC 2013 by Alon Zakai, only claims that asm.js is faster than handwritten JavaScript. I assume you misinterpreted his "2X of native" quote as being for C/C++ and not for Javascript. Later in his presentation where he specifically talks about compiling C/C++ to JavaScript he only claims "Fast code execution, getting close to native speed".
His hypothesis makes sense but it only looks at the time constraints. I assume he did this because it is the easiest thing to legislate and not have to deal with constitutional matters in the US, since the constitution directs the government "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;"
It would be nice if we could shorten the patent life to 15 years, limit the exclusive use of a patent to no more than 5 years, and mandate reasonable licensing during the remaining 10 years of the patent. Nontechnical patents like design patents should have a term no more than 5 years.
And taking said picture violates the naked person's expectation of privacy. Of course, Arne Svenson will put that to the test with his "Neighbors" exhibit at Chelsea gallery. Interestingly, your assertion associates Svenson to photography like google is to wifi..
This is to prevent people from profiting from endangered raptors. It seems ridiculous but it eliminates the need to prove that the animals were harmed by the accused, since the accused could simply say they bought them from a supplier. The idea is to kill the supply chain completely and for the most part it works.
This law only becomes an issue when people sell goods made with these feathers (e.g. a recent fine for selling dream catchers made with eagle feathers). The park ranger isn't going to come into our homes and look for feathers...
So your criticizing my assertion that workflows are better served with git than svn is supposed to distract us from the fact that you don't fully understand git? Your original assertion "GIT for OSS, SVN for Enterprise" is an old argument that lost its steam a very long time ago.
Using git doesn't prevent you from having a centralized repository like SVN. In fact, we use it in that manner too. What git does allow is the developers to commit to their local repo while they develop and pushing their changes to the central repository when they feel the code is ready. This allows them to have all the niceties of rollbacks and fine grain logs without the hassle of development branches being formed on the main repo. They can still use branches in git to keep in sync locally, work on a branch as a sub-group on the main repo, or allow a single developer to work on a side item from multiple locations (i.e. take their work with them).
I can use GIT like SVN, but I can't use SVN like GIT.
FYI - I didn't say all corporations have distributed workflows, nor did I say my company's projects are exclusively distributed. I just said MY project was better served by using a distributed repo. The more traditional projects still liked git for the "my co-developers like the ability to check in while they develop and then push the changes once they are confident that it won't break the build on the official repository." Also the project leads like gitolite better for managing access than svn.

It would be much easier for him to simply stop using firefox and switch to a different browser. Mozilla needs to keep this in mind.

Easy. This isn't free market. This is government expenditures. Government should spend tax payer money with domestic companies with domestic workers.
Now you're being silly. Profit was never discussed, nor do I see a problem with MS making a profit.

A much better solution will be to make a better language standard in all browsers.

If you actually owned an iPhone, you'd know that it comes with a 30-pin to USB cable.

Cool. My coworkers use TortoiseGit because they are already used to TortoiseSvn.

Are you sure you didn't mean "preposition phrase" since it was tried "to conclusion"?
Don't use default passwords.
Yes. How else will they prevent the competition from doing the same?
Funny! Especially when you consider the poster's handle. Hope others realize the joke.
How much additional money is actually being spent? Is this much more expensive than the costs associated with incarcerating Assange for up to 5 years?
Seems much quicker and cheaper to let Assange impose his own 5 year sentence.
How much is this costing Ecuador and how long are they willing to host Assange?
