Because "web service" is a separate term of art. It's like a news article saying a "fully automatic rifle" was used in a shooting, when it was a semi-automatic rifle. Reporter could say "Well, you pull the trigger 3 times and 3 bullets come out, that's fully automatic!". No, it isn't.
It's confusing. I assumed it was a web service that somehow aggregated the interfaces of all these other web services. My immediate response was "Well, that's pointless. Why wouldn't I do that in my own code - that's what a web service is for.".
Only to go on and read that it's not a web service.
Yeah, I mean what the fuck would we call such an idiotic thing. Maybe something silly like "Security in layers" or something. That just _sounds_ dumb, amirite?
True, you never hear of any mass shootings in any of those civilized EU countries. Their strict anti-gun laws prevent lone nuts from going and getting some guns and shooting a bunch of kids, for example.
That's all very grand. You're very civilized, your system is just so practical I really envy it.
Now when are you going to go out and riot and throw Molotov cocktails at the police? Do you know yet, or should I just wait for the next minor cut to welfare/"the dole"?
Shrug. Sounds like it's just a difference in opinion between authoritarian Europe and the US. 75/100 people in the US would say someone should be allowed to do all that shit.
We'll see if your tight control over thought in the EU helps when some minor government cutback triggers the next mass riots.
Yeah, I mean that massively dominant operating system coming out with a major new revision with extensive, user visible changes - pfft, who gives a crap about that!
Bring on the news about a slightly remixed Linux distribution of the week, where they changed the -O2 to -O3 and found it made.002% difference in the performance of 'ls'!!!! That's real news, by gawd!
How did this tripe get modded +? Samsung didn't use an apple logo. A better one would be Reebok suing Nike for making a high top shoe with a heel and laces. I mean, why not high tops with straps you copycat fucks?
Nonsense. Samsung is being sued because they are top android dog, and others not being sued only because they aren't threats yet. Apple is suing to stifle competition, quite simply.
The Apple Defenders are cracking me up defending this.
The judge had the gall to say "The court is of the opinion that Apple's minimalistic design isn't the only technical solution to make a tablet computer". Seriously.
If you don't understand how absolutely ridiculous that is, the idea of a "minimalistic design" (even if you then go into details about silly things like rounded corners, no buttons, etc...) as something you can own, then there's simply no hope for you.
Germany's a bit nutty anyway, so I don't put too much stock in it. Worst case Samsung should just add a little button somewhere, change a few angles here or there, and resell. Then it can continue the slow domination of Apple again.
Amazingly, you could make the same inane comment no matter what way the judge ruled! It's a win win for stupidity. If another judge in some other country finds the exact polar opposite in his ruling, I guess it's possible we can have an opinion then, or is that not cool too?
This is the only rational goal of an economic system - give people an incentive to work. And even capitalism isn't perfect in this. If every person in the US who could conceivably work and provide value to someone did so at their fullest potential, our GDP would skyrocket insanely. Probably multiply by some not small factor.
But we don't. Among those of us who work, even a good number half-ass or bare minimum it. Then you have the fucking deadbeats who don't even do that.
Gibberish. "Misappropriated" by whom, exactly? The "financial crisis" of 2008 was caused by greed, and it's part of the system. It's expected. People made bad fucking investments. Unfortunately, we bailed them out and short-circuited the natural feedback system, so I expect it to happen again within 20 years.

No, it wouldn't. You don't know what RISC is, it's not about the number of instructions.
probably running x64 code, which was designed to be much more RISC like in the first place.
That doesn't even make sense. You do know that adding more registers doesn't make something "much more RISC like" right?
And what does the story title say, well before it was changed...
Right. The site accesses web services, but it is a web application because people interactively use it.

Depends. If I hire 500 scientists to consult on cancer and research cancer, is that on "compensation, wages, salaries"?
I get it, you're cool cynical guy.
Let me guess, the evil car companies (and oil companies, natch) are holding back zero point energy and highly efficient batter technology!
Fruitcake.
I don't know, but I wonder how many "Tee haw, where can I download this for Linux, tee hee" comments we'll get from the neckbeards.

It's the only fucking one there is! It's a tablet, a rectangular screen with a bezel. Are you on crack?

As a resident, _and_ as a business.

Exactly. The only perfect system would be a perfectly altruistic God Emperor of some sort distributing goods and services perfectly.

Capitalism is just another word for freedom, and freedom is fraught with peril. No shit, Sherlock.
It does hurt. Your level of barely coherent populist ranting hurts my brain you fucking parasite.
