Oh fucking bullshit. Enough already. Sorry, your "private cloud running on your cool home server" has absolutely fucking _nothing_ to do with bringing up an enterprise private cloud.
Shrug. We have better care. If you get cancer your best bet is to get treatment in the US. Oh, sure, it costs a lot but pretending you get worse care here is a lie _if_ you have decent insurance.
Yeah, but that's mostly a bunch of lies Europeans and self-loathing Americans tell each other. Our health care system only looks bad in terms of cost, the infant mortality numbers are outright fabrications and longevity is heavily cultural (we're fat).
Cost and availability you can certainly ding us for, but as an upper middle class American the health care available to be is as good or better than pretty much any European outside of the super wealthy.
Rubbish. Complete rubbish. Good luck with the army of $200k/yr math/CS geniuses you'd need to go over every line of code. And you can get the source to Windows and do the same.
Unless you are a large corporation or a government you do not have the resources to do much but install it from some repository "somewhere" and hope nobody hacks you. And even 99% of governments or large corporations don't sit there and go over even a moderate percent of the code to confirm it's secure. Sure you can harden it considerably but ultimately there could be 50 obscure holes, intentional or not.
Yeah, it's not like there were people _busted_ for trying to subvert Linux and likely people who weren't caught. Linux is _totally_ secure dude - trust me!
Sure they are, there Johnny Future. You are truly "Guy who tells everyone how out of touch they are for 'still' using things that _everyone_ still uses."
Let me guess, those losers using PC's are so out of touch for still using them. Oh, and car drivers? Pfft, why I just saw a flying car prototype so you're totally a 1930's loser if you still drive cars maaaan!
If Facebook offered them that much money, they are complete nimrods to turn it down.
Maybe they didn't think that the alternative is Facebook (and maybe others) dropping a cool $1B on a similar app of their own that better integrates with existing social platforms. Wonder how much their company will be worth then?
Idiocy. Greed and idiocy. Will be hilarious if they can't even sell for $0.5B in 6 months.
The curve will be around the horizontal axis, just like the other curved phones that already exist. Top to bottom curve. Hence "Shorter". They can probably shave a mm or so off of it, but no I didn't whip out my calculator.
Correct. HFCS and Sugar are approximately (very approximately) equally bad for you. But if you ask your typical anti-science hippie they will tell you HFCS is the debil and sugar is a little bad for you but it's, like, natural maaaaan!
Yes, I always put my phone in my pocket _sideways_. Because I do this truly bizarre thing, their phones which will curve from top to bottom will totally fit around the _horizontal_ curve of my leg with I put them in my pocket _sideways_.
Hmm.. I feel my sarcasm didn't come across well, I wish I could draw a picture to better illustrate my sarcasm.
Looks like we should be, the original study was silly and more recent studies have shown no dangers. But your fail is the same as all the other "durr, should we allow cyanide turr hurr" fails.
Trans fats can be safely consumed in moderation. Period. The FDA has no reason to be banning it.
What controversy? There is none. There is no scientifically sound reason to ban or specially label GMO foods - period. Pretending there's a controversy is a popular tack of the anti-science lot, I guess.
Yes. And when Arkansas or some other back-woods shithole bans gay sex, we can tell the gays the same thing. And when they ban soda you can tell all those soda drinkers to quit whining.

Really? Have you seen Azure? I don't mean "scoffed and dismissed it without knowing shit about it" like many would do.
It works very well and provides a _shitload_ of features, both PaaS and IaaS.
Shrug. We have better care. If you get cancer your best bet is to get treatment in the US. Oh, sure, it costs a lot but pretending you get worse care here is a lie _if_ you have decent insurance.

Lol, oh teh noes! A company optimized its own software for..it's own software. Quick, call Brussels!
Lol, only on Slashdot. Modded to +4 for paranoid ramblings about bribery...

More difficult...than what? Do you know how easy Java and C# are? But good luck maintaining that spaghetti code. I'm sure it is _totally_ secure too.
No, he probably means writing gobs and gobs and gobs of difficult to support and debug software. But yours is right too,
Fuck using a scripting language for anything beyond a "script".
You sound foolish. It will curve top to bottom, I'll come back to mock you when it's officially announced.
The curve will be around the horizontal axis, just like the other curved phones that already exist. Top to bottom curve. Hence "Shorter". They can probably shave a mm or so off of it, but no I didn't whip out my calculator.

There's also geometry - more screen size in a shorter device.

Apple is not developing large screen phones with curved displays, they are inventing large screen phones with curved displays.
Oh noesies! 1.2g of trans fat?! How ever will little Jr. survive!! There's nothing wrong with small or even moderate amounts of trans fat.
You mean battle one imaginary demon instead of another?
Looks like we should be, the original study was silly and more recent studies have shown no dangers. But your fail is the same as all the other "durr, should we allow cyanide turr hurr" fails.

Bullshit. The reason is that HFCS scaremongering is not based on anything approaching scientific reality.
What controversy? There is none. There is no scientifically sound reason to ban or specially label GMO foods - period. Pretending there's a controversy is a popular tack of the anti-science lot, I guess.
Yes. And when Arkansas or some other back-woods shithole bans gay sex, we can tell the gays the same thing. And when they ban soda you can tell all those soda drinkers to quit whining.
.5/g per serving of Trans-fats will not hurt you. Silly point.
