Except that the next thing is that due to google, all human jobs will be replaced by robots who can talk and drive cars and no one will have any privacy as the human race is phased out.
So.. maybe it will say that Google invented the new people and there used to be a disgusting version 1.0 made of putrid juices.
external batteries strapped to them. It's the "I made an incompetent decision buying an overpriced phone/computer spiked with Jobs' incompetent ideas, and I'm too egotistical to admit it," style.
From the stupid fawning, worshipful articles I've read over the years equating Apple with Jobs, I'd say the media didn't know. They equate "bullshit artist and slave driver" with "progress!"
because of the media's worship of Jobs. What's he anyways? An executive? The man famous for bullshit? "Reality distortion field"
For bad decisions like making the first macs impossible to expand? For bad decisions like not making products where you can change a battery that's lost half it's capacity in six months? Don't you feel a bit cheated?
I am so sick of the cult of authority worship. It's part of the worship of the wealthy. It's part of the denigration of work, as the executives go around saying that engineers are and should be interchangable, we're fry cooks, and working us to death is slightly more efficient than allowing us lives. And so we should all be worked to death.
that's mostly the work of one programmer, for instance luajit http://luajit.org/ mostly the work of Mike Pall.
He's transitioning to open sourced without him though.
It's not perfect (for instance writing his own assembler instead of using a standard one for the interpreter makes debugging changes to the interpreter hard).
The Republican party is never going back to being sane, the threat of being primaried is worse than that of killing their constituents. They will prefer to refuse Medicaid, lower taxes on the rich till the government looks like Greece and starve Medicare etc.
The Democrats move back to the right after being elected. The Republicans scream and shift blame and deadlock but they won't ever be able to govern responsibly ever again.
came out in favor of total surveillance even before the debate.
It's amazing how fast the Republican candidates are running away from the freedom position now that they're actually running.
But it's a sad fact that too many people will agree to anything and follow anyone when they're scared. When Bin Laudin knocked down the towers he also scared the country so much that the bill of rights is totally, permanently doomed.
I vaguely remembered that that (or a similar product) was analyzed and it actually did nothing.
There was code in it, but all that code was bypassed. One imagines that the programmer couldn't get it working but had to ship something - and his bosses couldn't actually tell if the driver DID anything.
they're trying to prevent what they're always trying to prevent: being blamed or losing their jobs when some nutcase parent gets upset.
The purpose of policies is to be seen pretending to do something about fictional problems that have no solutions for the simple reason that some very loud people believe there's a problem.
As I understand it, it's like Lua, except that variables aren't declared, and they're in a global namespace. And they're limited to 8 characters long. And if's and loops are limited to single lines (that are probably limited in turn to 80 or 60 characters - whatever their punched cards were eh?)
Basically unusable for large systems. But used for them anyway.
Any shop that's forced to use Mumps should write a compiler for a better language that outputs Mumps, and convert their Mumps code to that better language. It would take a much shorter time than maintaining Mumps code.

He doesn't SOUND like a Republican
Damn it, now I want to take Jobs' side.
There aren't words strong enough for you.
Licensed the GUI from Xerox, invented by people like Alan Kay.
So that we can be forced to write self-criticisms or sent to re-education farms?

1) they can spy on everyone in perpetuity
2) they can't make rational buying decisions
Yay?

Mod parent up
I thought Brazil was colonized by Portugal and invaded by France. Why is it for "Englismen" to see?

being blamed or losing their jobs when some nutcase parent gets upset.

programs in a menu?
If you're going to have a graphical user interface that's organized with menus, how is it not fucking obvious that the programs will be in a menu?
won't splash back. I've seen this stuff, it isn't magic. What are they relying on people being too drunk or stupid to know how things bounce?
It's super expensive paint. So what they get is that the sidewalk smells instead of the wall.
it does worse? You just found out that the benchmark is bullshit.
At this point they can watch every phone call we make, watch where we walk every minute of the day, watch what websites we go to, read our email.
They can no doubt get in back doors on our computers any time.
Why should they care if we encrypt our hard drives? We're on the internet when our computers are on!
I have news for you, people who intend to be criminals, pedophiles included, flock to join law enforcement agencies.
I remember someone relating a story about having a friend in the CIA who also happened to be a pedophile ...
