HTTP is still all the rage. GMail is still email. Twitter is not an IRC replacement. Youtube is also not an FTP replacement. Web boards are starting to get aged themselves.
"If you right crappy code full of security holes, what do they do let it run anyway even though it will negatively impact THEIR hardware owners?"
If you stopped righting (?) and started thinking you'd understand that you can also (ahem) write shitty software in C, C++ or Objective-C. It's not what you use, it's how you use it.
"You CHOSE to buy Apple fully aware of the restrictions, then blame Apple when those restrictions finally affect you in a negative way."
More like, "you CHOSE to buy Apple fully aware of the restrictions, then Apple CHANGED them and you blame them because they NOW affect you in a negative way."
I for one am going to point out that the tons of apps were there before the restriction was put in place. People who were looking for the iPad version of their favourite iPod app will be out of luck if they didn't use The One True Toolkit.
Instead of shrugging off stuff they can't bundle with Ubuntu ("it's not free so you're on your own boyo"), they offer a way to get it legally for those who wish to do so. In the meantime, Ubuntu still ships with H.264-hating Firefox, choosing it over Chrome/-ium. Oh so evil of them.
How about banning bad and lazy applications then? How about restructuring the store so that it presents good and fast apps before the cruft? If the app store doesn't scale well with popularity, maybe it's the store that needs fixing, not the developers.
Oh, and while we are at it, do game consoles official SDKs also tie me to owning a Mac/Windows/specific flavour of Linux before I can even begin to consider starting any development? Do game consoles forbid you to use frameworks that build upon "the official SDK"? Are game consoles artificially limited to the makers' store? Have people have had any trouble of not-just-working-ess with the XBox because of this? Can I publish a puzzle game for the Wii, or am I forbidden because it partially overlaps with Nintendo's Brain Training? If I want to write a PS3 game in brainfuck, is there any EULA getting in my way?
Yes, but what would you rather do, patch your production server with a patch from a company you can sue or rather grab the patches from not-as-reliable semi-anonymous sources who are doing their own redistribution and just hope they weren't tampered with?
"Google does have a plan to avoid the most egregious privacy concerns. "Recursive Resolvers are strongly encouraged to conceal part of the IP address of the user by truncating IPv4 addresses to 24 bits." Coincidentally, 24 bits maps directly to the minimum address block that can be carried in the Internet's routing system. Carrying any more than that won't help solve the network distance problem using the routing tables. For IPv6, there is no corresponding number that everyone agrees to, but the authors of the draft suggest truncating IPv6 addresses as well. Of course, the owner of the authoritative DNS server still gets to see the client's full IP address when the HTTP request for the actual content is sent."

10.04 user since the whereabouts of alpha 4. No regressions here. Just sayin'. :)
Well, you probably need to be a licensee to sell licenses, right?

Welcome to Slashdot. You must be new here.
Just when I thought I had managed in the impossible feat to make a /. submission where nobody complains about the summary... :(
US billion or UK billion?
Are you telling me other card makers have even worse solutions than Xinerama for multi screen setups?
Sounds like what they really want is Chrome OS, then. (When it'll be out, that is.)
That would be accurate if you could choose to not have a password.
Considered that "Service Unavailable" is one of today's "tending topics" on Twitter, I'd say that's a bit more than one CDN node.
Car analogy fail. Windows isn't offering download links for Mac OS X or Linux. Try again.
I didn't say it pops up at the first boot. Actually it didn't for me when I installed Ubuntu 9.10.
That's because you shouldn't have done a manual installation in the first place!

Glitches? What glitches? Consider that Quake Live comes with TUTORIALS and official maps on strafe jumping, circle jumping, plasma climbing...

Yes, you can move the start bar to all sides (through drag and drop).
Somehow I think making a list of people who aren't spammed (yet) isn't a very good idea...

Unfortunately it takes more than a child to understand extrapolating a sentence from its context invariably changes its meaning.
