Jeez. I actually do Java every day as my job, but I have only been installing it on Linux for the past number of years, so I did not realize this was the case.

But I said nearly 5 years ago, that Oracle will do it's best to ruin Java. It seems to be relegated to server-side only more and more. (this is the only place we use it as well) The only thing propping up Java is the fact that people do not trust Microsoft, otherwise C# would have taken over the business world by now.

Comment Games who's key point is not playing a game. (Score 1) 81

These are never good. In fact I think they can really not be called "games" as that sort of implies something someone does for entertainment.

More like "interactive social experiments". These are never fun, or entertaining, and rarely useful. I include all of the "games" where the goal is to make the player feel or think something.

Comment Uber isn't stupid (Score 3, Interesting) 230

Uber isn't stupid. They know the existing transport monopolies are maintained due to political connections aka lobbying. Uber knows there is no way it will be able to upset this status quo without support from local politicians. That, unfortunately, means lobbying. Love it or hate it, it's how things get done these days.
