Die Java! Die! Go Oracle! Kill this shitastic language! Once it's dead, the horde of Java "programmers" can go back to being fry cooks like they were before Java was created.
Call me ignorant here, but how hard would it be for people to enable TLS 1.1 or 1.2 support in browsers and sites, since that apparently isn't vulnerable?
I think it would be hard for them to do this quickly. The Google Chrome solution is really a stopgap until then.
Stopping at a redlight can be considered a loophole to avoid paying the fine. Thus you should pay a royalty

Extend for non binary decisions and enjoy!!
Quick patent it. Then nobody will be able to stop at a red light without paying you.
Surely since the poor are more likely to use social services they should be taxed more than the rich. Why should Bill Gates pay his $13,000 flat rate when he is unlikely to use madicare, medicaid or the state school system?
This is Slashdot. Don't you know that the rich deserve every penny that they have, and the poor CHOSE to be that way?
Right, so they deserve to be imprisoned if they don't pay the $13,000 each in tax that the flat rate would have to be to maintain current levels of revenue. The above figure assumes that children are also paying - after all they did decide whether or not to be born into a wealthy family.
Apple fanboys are pathetic. Worthless hipster DOUCHEBAGS that don't know anything about technology and just buy the latest shiny device because a fancy commercial convinces them that they need it.
OMFG DROID BIONIC????!!! HOLY FUCKIN SHIT, that thing looks fuckin AWESOME. omfg DUAL CORE PROCESSOR and LTE, this thing makes my Thunderbolt that I just bought last month look like a pile of puke. I need that, I'm buying that the DAY IT COMES OUT.
Anyway, Apple fanboys are stupid and just buy the newest super greatest next product based on hype.
Its nice to see a reasoned and balanced argument here
Seriously we moved passed "Caveat Emptor" centuries ago. Hence rulings on product safety, reasonable quality, being as described and not facilitating uncompetitive practices.
Sorry I can't find any references but I remember a few years ago the RIAA said they wanted something like this. They used their usual dishonest wording and said something like "equipment should not allow the installation of any systems that allow the circumvention of DRM".
My guess would be that they did see it beforehand but didn't appreciate how much smaller the rooms were because it was either empty or dressed to look bigger than it really is.
That is a real danger if they saw a show-house. A tactic used by 26% of large UK developers is to use smaller than standard sized furniture, which when done professionally is not obvious and makes the room appear larger than it is.
Not that I'm suggesting my very poor government tries to build it's own device but surely a tablet sized kindle would be better? Some of those documents must be pretty bug, surely e-ink is the way forward in that regard?
Am I just being naive?
I'm sure you're right - but the cynic in me says that this is more about "what freebee can I get paid for by the taxpayer" than "what will be useful in doing my job". These iPads will get more use in playing "fart apps" in the house of commons bar and viewing porn in hotels than they ever do in the debating chamber.
Slashdot Mirror
Good point. I'll just go hide in my cave from here on out, shooting anyone who gets near enough to look at the rock covering it.
What! Are you a Muslim?
I use FB (yea yea) but you'll be hard pressed to find much about me on my profile other then the fact that I listen to Metal and like photography
No I wouldn't describe the photos in detail on my profile either
What landed on your head to make you switch to ....... java?*shutters*
If I'm honest it was money. But I don't miss pointers, references, destructors, the pre-processor and many other things in c++
And a how many minute job to earn money to buy the certificate from a CA to sign your signature?
$60, and about an hour of back-and-forth emails in identity verification for a class 2 identity cert. Surprisingly cheap and easy.
You might not think so if you were a start-up in India.

fry cook! If only .... I was a C++ programmer
Oracle only said they'd keep it open source. They never said they'd let you use it.

Having looked up "1.2. FTFA" on google I now feel like a complete idiot
I don't really think the next economic meltdown will cause the extinction of the human race (© 2001 Discovery Networks ), or am I missing something?
No , its just wishful thinking that it will lead to the extinction of Fatus Amercanus Nausiosum
Now the world will be mine - bwahaaahaaaah
I'm sure people will have difficulty finding prior art on that one....

Germany since there's no requirement to inform the other party there.
When surrounded by homos you have to watch your backside

I might be wrong, but I seem to remember that the market share of Apple is higher in the US than in Europe...
But unless they have an extremely high level of empathy they won't be crying out in pain over the next iPhone being blocked in Europe
I'll be buying the one with Meego installed.
Meego is dead, Webos is dead, and I don't feel very well.
Obviously, because of his loose tongue, WP7 will surely fail.
Yes, they are preparing a scapegoat.
Isn't it great to see someone turn round to a bully and say "no you give me your lunch money muthufucah"
Windows will be very hard to pirate properly now.
Why is this great news?
Because now people who can't pirate will switch to Linux instead! :D
.... until they find that they cannot install it on their PCs.
Buyer Beware.

That's very liberal of you
