Excellent! My bits are extremely small and light!

"My thermostat will never be connected to anything and does not need an end of life thank you very much."
I can see the advantage there, but wouldn't it be more useful if you connected it to the solenoid or what have you so it could control the temperature in the house?
"Who except for criminals and terrorists are actually going to buy this thing, or am I missing something?"
I'm going to go with
"Don't use C and its variants like C++. C "
Yes. Also, the problem with Rap is that it is in English. If they just wrote their masogenistic statement in a different language all would be well!
Seriously, please stop with the ridiculous claim that the language is the problem. The problem is that nobody is perfect, no process is perfect, and mistakes will always happen. They will happen far more often when the system is implemented by people who understand so little about software development that they think the language is the problem.
"Except that the quote merely has her telling him not to do it. She doesn't say why."
FTA:
"He said, “Is there not some way it could be blue?” And I said again, “No, don’t do it.”"
It seems pretty clear from te article that she told him he should not do it because there is no way it could be blue, no?
"The primary is issue is how slow javascript is "
HTML5 has absolutely nothing to do with Javascript.
" and how hard it is to develop in and how hard it is to make compatible w/ all browsers in use."
HTML5 is a new standard and all browsers haven't yet caught up to it, but they will. That all being said, both Flash and HTML5 are frigging stupid technologies to use for creating video games, and Flash is frigging stupid, whether you are developing video games or not.
" Someone could easily do all their criminal business on a smart phone."
That's all well and good, but they can't do that and be in a situation where the only evidence of criminal activity is on the device. By definition, if you are using it to perform all your criminal activities then you are connecting to an external network. There will be logs (i.e. evidence) elswewhere besides on your phone. That is where the warrant comes in, see?
"Absolutely - trolling to me is getting idiots to prove themselves incompetent. "
Holy shit! You done trolled yourself!
"No, terrible analogy."
You seem to think that because you are too stupid to understand it, that it is incorrect.
"Michael Jordan is a paid professional. You are not, but because you are free, thousands cheer for you, after all, you never miss a basket (because thousands cheer for you).
Blam, you miss a basket. Only fucking idiots would still be cheering for you."
You are too stupid to figure out that the people who write OSS are more often than not professionals. The fact that you think ametuers could write something as complex and ubiquitous as OpenSSL is prima facia evidence of your idiocy. Now off you go little cognitively challenged troll
Scientists will study your brain to learn more about your distant cousin, Man.
