Serves JavaWebStart coders right for relying on third-party, online systems.
In that vein, one can consider what would happen if Google suddenly stopped hosting JQuery: about half of the javascript-using websites in the world would stop working.:)
I really don't understand all the hoo-ha - maybe the people who don't have a reliable net connection should buy one of the MYRIAD of competing products which don't have that requirement?
There is no competing product for sale. Blizzard has a monopoly on Diablo 3. Other games in the same genre are not going to be nearly as good.
Yet another reason to prefer emulators: you can delete or move the SRAM save file, effectively resetting the game, OR giving you multiple save slots. Too bad there's no playable 3DS emulator out yet.
As you know, a lot of open-source software can be compiled for ARM out-of-the-box. The F/OSS world can continue using existing apps even when the processor architecture changes.
I could use such a mail account for communications with the government. After all, they're gonna read it anyway, aren't they?
Of course, for everything else, I would use one of the many gratis email providers found around the Internet.
Not true; there's no problems with GPLv3 software on either Windows or OSX. Only locked platforms like iOS are incompatible, which is by design on the FSF's part.

Tell that to x264 and FFmpeg.
That's only Germany, and the final legality of that declaration is still unclear.
The European Patent Convention clearly excludes computer programs from patentability, as seen in Article 52 (2) c.
However, the European Patent Office has flatly ignored this paragraph, and granted many software patents.
The debate continues.

This critic argues that the bill fails to address the most important problem in patent law: that it still exists!

Thank you. I had the same notion, but you explained it much more clearly than I could have.
They could go the Prince route, and make the game "previously known as Scrolls".

Fortunately, the pirate option remains.
No. There is still more data to collect.
I wonder: what happens when the rest of the world finally realizes that the US govt can't pay its debts? What kind of collapse are we looking at?
Most non-touchscreen phones would have survived with their screens intact.

Good thing I use SeaMonkey, then. The slower development cycle makes it more stable.
Now we just have to wait for compilers to start adopting the new spec...
GCC supports most of the specs already.
The article is probably referring to the first finished C++ ISO standard, 14882:1998. Hardly the "first iteration" of the language.
On one hand, I want people to have control over their data, so this is good news.
On the other hand, I want people to have unlimited Internet connections, so this is bad news.
I have both these things myself, but even the richest man would be unhappy if the world was empty...

Slashdot is not an America-only site, you know. Turks come here too.
I'd like a textual diff between the first and second editions. Any ideas on how to get/make them?

And on the stone was etched a single word, more ancient than the clans themselves.
Hiigara. Our home.
That's why most of us just ignore them.
