Wait there's content here generally above the caliber of 4chan?

One of two things are going to happen: Oracle loses the suit to google, Java is open sourced and apache takes it over for business as usual. Either Apache or Google will host and promote development from that point forward. Both of them have a vested interest in seeing it go somewhere. Or, it could go the other way - oracle wins the suit against google, now they're sitting on an IP goldmine, and they milk it for the settlement and promptly sell it to Sony. Blu-rays are all java, Sony is willing to pay $BIG_MONEY for the IP, I'm sure, and Oracle isn't really interested in owning yet another language. They sell it to Sony with a license lease forever for a dollar or something similar and then Sony owns it.

There, now it's settled. Please remove your post from slashdot.

I only trust Wikipedia for reliable sources I haven't vandalized yet. From the first paragraph on the League of Nations: The League of Nations (LON) was an intergovernmental organization founded as a result of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919–1920, and the precursor to the United Nations. At its greatest extent from 28 September 1934 to 23 February 1935, it had 58 members. The League's primary goals, as stated in its Covenant, included preventing war through collective security, disarmament, and settling international disputes through negotiation and arbitration.[1] Other goals in this and related treaties included labor conditions, just treatment of native inhabitants, trafficking in persons and drugs, arms trade, global health, prisoners of war, and protection of minorities in Europe.[2]

Just like the League of Nations prevented that fictional "world war 2" those crazy teachers keep wasting our time with?

Get his dick out of your mouth before trying to have a discussion.

Why this is funny is because this would have been cited as a Bush moronism, but being offended by it is clearly a sign that the offendee is an Obama fanboi.

In space, no-one can hear you scream (either in horror or pleasure).

Which is more reasonable: Hunters shooting out the fiber? That argument supposes that for the rest of the year they're not playing with guns. Game animals landing on infrastructure? The hunting seasons correlate with the migration patterns and mating seasons. This time of year for most of America, the deer are starting to get rammy. It's not that hunters secretly come out of the woods at night and bash people's cars in, it's that the deer are getting horney and moving around and cars happen to hit the deer. It just so happens that deer want to make deer babies and it makes them easier targets, which is why it's hunting season.

In America our broadband is so abysmal that even "crappy" displays already outrun the quality of the video (or gaming) experience brought in by the available bandwidth. Every time I see something like this I tend to think "oh thats nice, but what will I watch on it?" Yeah it might be cool for netflix, but the average geek (me) already has those streaming over his pencil-thin bandwidth.

make obamacare include a provision so that all the fatties get free liposuction which we then faction into biodiesel.
