If a fighter jet touches its wheels to the ground, is it a car?

Don't need to be rooted to sideload an APK... it is just a checkbox away in standard Android settings.

Oracle would say a re-implementation of ideas is a copy.
Apple obviously would say it is a copy.

Much worse... you'd either be storing raw PCM or you'd be re-encoding.
Better to get the mp3 or aac stream from the .flv or .mp4 file.
ffmpeg -i zomg_justin_bieber_baby_baby.flv -codec copy zomg_justin_bieber_baby_baby.mp3

Ubuntu needs to get off their asses and release their Android integration they demo'd a while back. They're keeping it to themselves not even available for purchase. I think they're looking for a manufacturer to build a device while there are tons of people ready and willing to install it on their own rooted devices.

You had the previous 2 CEO's of Sun contradicting each other and the current Oracle CEO not able to give a yes or not answer to "Is Java free".

How are 12 Joe-Six-Pack's supposed to come up with a yes or no answer to something explained to them through car analogies?

Aren't both of these protected by patents / copyright?

Google removed all Tetris clones from their market because of this.

MIT should have chose a better game and a better implementation language. Should have invented both from scratch.

Curious as to what those ways are. Could you explain?

If this sets a precedent I hope whoever can charge extortion fee's for C and GCC really sticks it to Oracle while giving others who don't abuse patents / copyright a free ride.

If they are indeed a couple of Java wizards with a strong interest in developing for Android, they don't need to go to Google IO to do so.

My perch ring falls off from time to time from their fat asses jumping to it from a distance of falling down on it from the top.

I remember reading in Bunnie Huang's book on Hacking the Xbox that a computer just enumerating 2**256 (let alone doing anything useful) would require enough power to boil the oceans.

Maybe it wasn't 256, but it was related to cryptography.

Isn't 4 a small number of cores for a GPU?
Aren't cores in GPU's called shaders?

I think the use of Git makes it pretty safe to begin with.
If someone gained access to do commits to what people consider as the "master" repo, any tampering would have to be done at the head because of all the hashes.
Hopefully the maintainer would realize this the next time they go to push to it Git would tell them that the remote is ahead of them by X commits.
In the case of Linux, I think Linus is the only one who pushes to the master branch, so he would notice.
