The question is if the FBI is actively seeking the child abusing producers of child pornography or if they are really only interested in catching the people who download it. It's all very distasteful but I'm more interested ending the abuse than throwing every twisted individual in jail for a period of time. I understand that it's a global problem which is why governments should work together to stop the madness.
We need a standardised virtual machine that languages can be compiled to run on
NO!!! What we need is for people stop using scripting to turn web pages into applications when 99.99% of the time I JUST WANT TO READ THE GODDAMNED WORDS ON THE PAGE!
Yes, they could do so... partially and maybe fully, eventually. The reason that they could is that they own some content, the "Netflix Originals" which could be DRM free. It may take years but if people appreciate the DRM free component enough that they only use Netflix, it will force the hand of other content providers and it's a domino effect really.
Wake me up when you have a mobile OS where the main app development language was invented in the 21st century, and is, for example, safe, simple, and well-designed.
oh you want to write in a script language? ok, snowflake, enjoy your javascript.;)
The W3C Encrypted Media Extensions only defines a way to use Content Decryption Modules (DRM) but there is no definition for the the modules themselves. If their interface and format were 100% defined then that would be ok. However, they have specifically gone out of their way to avoid defining CDMs because they want to make CDMs platform specific and be able to reach deep into your operating system to "verify the environment". Just say they can have the EME if they completely define the CDMs and suddenly you will have exposed the fight for secrecy.
I have no problem promoting gun safety but what i do have a problem with is stupid law's that are just these feel good laws usually by liberals that claim to work to attack gun violence problem but reality do NOTHING to stop the problem.
Reduced accessibility to guns will ultimately result in fewer attacks being carried out using guns. How many attacks are there with high-grade explosives? Not many because they are tightly regulated.
Instead of thinking about processing power in term of Hz, you should be looking at a CPU's/GPU's overall computational throughput. When you look at things that way, you will see there has been a massive uptick in processing power in GPUs. x86 CPU have stagnated a bit due to lack of serious competition for the high-end but everywhere else it's thriving. Massive parallel processing is the real future of computing, so get ready for chips with a thousands of sub-GHz cores running independent and identical tasks because that future is coming.
Tesla (Motors) is sooo backed up with orders that they cannot crank out electric cars fast enough. When they aren't at 10000% demand, that's when they'll start advertising.
The best Linux machines are interesting architectures but there is no Windows support and unless they are willing to make a laptop that only runs open kernels like Linux (which they aren't) they will never make the best Linux laptop.
They worked closely with the legendary MECC to help create those early educational titles of legend all kids of the 80s remember (some fondly)
Apple, now, doesn't do any of that stuff. Why? Who knows.
This is actually a piece of history I know! The lead organizer for Apple, know only as Stephanie died on the job. She was found at her keyboard and while they aren't certain, their best guess was that it was dysentery. Someone even posted a picture of her tombstone.;)
Have we learned nothing from our mistakes?! This is the new africanized bee aka killer bees! If one of these smartphones gets into the wild it will destroy the delicate smartphone ecosystem as we know it! Do you want killer smartphones because this is how we get killer smartphones!;)
Texas, we had no problem with your peculiar behavior, including the provocative "don't mess with Texas" line and then you started fucking over the rest the rest of us with your insane ideas on patents. So fuck you Texas and have your independence because we don't want you.

Firefox has never caused me a hint of trouble on my computers unlike Chrome that eats up ALL available memory and slows things down to a crawl.
Just wait a bit and Mozilla will copy it and put it in Firefox. ;)

Fuckch Rome? Why are you bringing Rome into this discussion... are they heavy Chrome users? #Ambiguity
... whose time passed...
whose or whomse? ;)
Almost everything with UI can be done properly using CSS3. The only thing missing are animation actions and then it would be complete.

better to have some sort of standard for that, some hope of getting Netflix on Linux, than not.
Actually, Netflix is transitioning their content to Microsoft's PlayReady 3.0, so you will NEVER get a Linux version that isn't part of a "smart" TV.

This was inadvertently make DDoS for hire a legitimate business model. "Being attacked? Defend yourself and DDoS your foes into the afterlife!"

I moved to Canada to escape the DMCA laws in the US.
I have some bad news for you.

You can check out what is publicly/globally available on github: https://github.com/nasa
On their main software page, there is a LOT of stuff that is by request only but github is all the easy to get stuff.
You're so brave on an internet forum putting down "rednecks"
Excuse me, good sir but I did not mention the term "rednecks" or anything like that.
This sounds like a surefire way to get only the best trolls! ;)
nope.
