the real choice is "write for iPhone, or write for every other platform".
Unfortunately, this is result of Apple's decision (whether it was their intent or not). Until the Apple App Store isn't the "biggest market available to the mobile developers"* they will have to make a decision: iPhone first, iPhone only or everything else.
I still think Apple will blink on this issue (a very small 'blink') and give up a little bit of this ridiculous effort. Small dev tools will still be allowed but Adobe will still be out.

The world needs to be FLOODED in child pornography. It must be put everywhere, so that there is not a single place, not a single site, not a single freaking lamppost that does not have a picture or a video of some child fucking.
Um, if you're going to go to that much effort, can't you at least make it regular porn? You know, the good kind? I'm sure you'd make a whole lot more people happy if you did that.
One thing makes me happy: everybody will die. Death, that's the fucking cure to idiocy.
I'm sorry to be the one that has to tell you this, but idiocy is far too pervasive to be wiped out by death. There are just way too many people doing or saying too many things that are stupid. It will survive their deaths, and even yours and mine. The internet is a giant library recording every stupid deed, stupid thought and stupid thing people have, and will, ever say. Thanks for doing your part.
Several of the biggest names at Sun have departed since the Oracle merger. The memories of Sun are fading fast. IBM probably would have been a better suitor for Sun than Oracle, but now it's all over but the crying.
Personally, I'll need to hear it at least a few more times. Could you please randomize the order so it doesn't look like the EU's anti-IE browser choice screen?
A "gentlemen's agreement" between companies not to pilfer employees isn't a bad thing... unless you're not one of those companies. Didn't Apple poach their latest iPod manager from IBM? Doesn't sound like they always play by the rules of their "agreement".
The language requirement by Apple is related to multitasking. Is it a hardline move that threatens many small iPhone/iPad development tools & environments? Yes it is, and for that reason alone it is stupid on their part (and a dick move in general). Is this squarely aimed at Adobe? Absolutely, and they can so they will.
I think Apple will find a way to give in a little so these small development tools can stay in business. Being a dick and a bully doesn't go down well in the court of public opinion. Having a $99 developer program isn't really $99 if you have to buy a Mac, too. Apple will blink a small blink, the little guys will sigh in relief and Adobe will still be getting the finger from Apple.
how about this: if every student gets an A, then everyone gets an equal share of the money... if anyone doesn't get an A, then no one gets any money and it is refunded to tax payers.
That will simply end badly. A 'young anarchist' or a 'rich kid' who wants to screw the other kids can cost the others who 'worked hard' to earn their share; Ralphie Wiggam can be in your class and you're screwed; some bullies will threaten marginal kids who will then fail due to fear and stress; etc. Give them all a "bonus" if everyone gets at least a "C"? Sure. A better bonus for better average grades? OK. All or nothing? That always ends with 'nothing'.
if we know that all "C" students are really just "A" students who haven't been sufficiently greased to do the required work, then what's the motivation of society to make that happen? are the children any more useful to society because they completed more busy work in elementary school to get a few extra gold stars to increase their letter grade?
I understand that you aren't thrilled with the idea of paying/motivating kids to get good grades. And I respect your position as a parent and a tax payer. But if you think it's just the "A" or "gold stars" that a child gets from doing the "busy work" then you're missing the point. The better they do on tests, and the better their homework is, the more they have learned.
I don't really like the idea that we need to pay kids to get their workload done, but why not try it? I do see that it could turn out a crop of the most selfish, money focused, narcissistic adults we've ever seen... and if it does they can all go work on Wall Street.
I agree that this should be something that parents should/could handle, but not all families do (or even can). The best way for parents to be involved in this decision is to voice their opinions about it (pro or con) at their local school board meetings.
Families that are 'better off' than others would still probably see an improvement in their children's performance because there is a big difference between "having money" and "earning money". The latter has a very different feel and has the potential of being a strong motivation.
I think you forgot to mention how Al Gore and the Internet made all of this possible. I'm sure Apple had something to do with it, too, but that's another thread entirely.
Let's face it, atoms do show up out of thin air. How else can you explain the weight I've put on lately? Damn new heavy elements. I sure wish those scientist types would stop discovering them.
Look, the education system in America hasn't exactly been seen as the 'cream of the crop' for a while. Just because they omitted data about our knowledge of the 'Big Bang' and 'Evolution' doesn't mean we didn't learn it, it just means some asshat within the White House didn't learn how to edit properly.
I still now that the 'big bang' was that hominid Lucy getting laid, resulting in the first darwinian instance of 'natural selection' whether the WH admits it or not.

Maybe he's not stupid for doing this? If he loses the civil suit then he may have grounds to appeal the decision because he feels the judge was obviously against him?
Can't wait to see how people blame the victim on this one.
I think it's pretty clear that these 'honorable institutions' are actually enablers. Accepting that the cost to compensate individuals is lower than fixing the system sounds awfully familiar... Ford's Pinto comes to mind as does the recent Toyota situation. They're not killing anyone... they're just ruining their lives for a while.
I'm pretty damn confident that we're clear sailing.
I'm fairly confident that's not going to be an issue.
And, on top of that, MS doesn't own the project, I do. "Shutting it down" is not an option for them.
Um, then what are you doing wasting your time here on/.? Shouldn't you be locked in a caffeine fueled coding frenzy, programming until your fingers are bleeding? Open source software won't write itself, you know;-)
His name cannot be s (16831)
Is that a hint? Does that mean it could be one of the other 25 letters? Or maybe one of the 20 remaining consonants?
... MS pulls the plug on this and leaves OSS developers hanging high and dry? Or worse, pulls some slight of hand with licensing, copyrights or patents and forces OSS dev's to stop in their tracks waiting for MS's next move?

It's how we motivate adults at work so why not kids in school?
If it turns out to be a better use of resources and we turn out students who do better in school then it can't be all bad.
FTFA, it's 1.7 Watt-Hours (6100 Joules) generated, rather than 1.7 watts. It's still peanuts though really.
It true that 1.7 Watt Hours isn't much, but it doesn't need to be a lot, it just needs to be enough.

I guess this is also the one good thing for iPhone and iPod Touch users...since they can't run Java anyways, they are also immune.
