The real problem is human nature, not that one particular religion. Kill one religious figure, another will fill its place (or the former will be a martyr).
And why not also go back and kill Jesus of Nazareth? Millions have been killed in his name. Do you reckon those wars wouldn't have been waged if this or that particular prophet hadn't have existed?
What I find most disturbing in all of this is the rabid brand loyalty (brainwashing?) on display. I don't get the apple/iPhone fans with their "mine is still better" and "Samsung is just junk" responses - when Samsung supplies the hardware for the iPhone in the first place!
I don't own a smartphone nor any Samsung or Apple computers. I don't care about either of these companies. But I do care about the tech world and I'm very disturbed to see mega corps using patents as a cudgel to prevent competition. Apple's approach is antithetical to a free market and to technological innovation. I find it extremely distasteful and if I ever did want to get a smartphone, this recent episode would be enough to put me off Apple. I like companies that compete by being the best, not by having the most lawyers.
Yeah, I'm sure it's impossible to improve on the situation that the US Patents office has given the world.
I have a d1 but it's a bit of a let down - the result is never all that much of a surprise
So... you agree then that no-one else is using Obj-c?
Obj-C is behind C, C++ (and Java) on the Tiobe index. Javascript, however, ranks way way lower than I believe it should.
Java was a popular programming language before it was chosen for Android, unlike Objective-c. If Apple had chosen C or C++ people wouldn't have made a big deal of it.
It's not an either/or situation - paying for an iPad doesn't mean that Apple stops advertising.
Moron. What's interesting is that this is a full JIT JVM, not just a bytecode engine like Dalvik. There have been JVMs in the ARM space for ages, but not JIT JVMs and not the the standard JVM either.
But whatever, just spread FUD and ignorance if that's easier for you.
FUD
New Zealand has freedom of speech and ranks higher in press freedom and lower in corruption than the US. Does that mean we should run everything?
The answer to the question "Who believes UN governance will result in improvement?" will give a lot of insight into the motives behind transferring control to a UN agency. My immediate suspicions include: the copyright cartels, repressive governments, and telecoms/tier 1's seeking to create international monopolies
How about citizens from the rest of the world who would like the Internet controlled by a body that we actually have some say in?
I mean, just take Europeans, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, Japanese, Koreans. This sub-group of Internet users collectively outnumber US citizens by a large number. They all add a lot to the Internet. Why should they be dictated to by the US? Why should they be denied a voice in how the most important technology of our age (which is of vital importance to modern business) is run?
2) Led by the UN = most of the UN members are crooks, dictators, religious extremists, military leaders who killed the civilian leaders to gain control, basically the scum of the non-business society so its basically dictator-net. Expect lots of censorship and control around killing all dissenters and forcing one lunatic religions beliefs upon people of other lunatic religious beliefs (or non-beliefs)
What. The. Fuck?
Most of the UN members are THE ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD YOU INBRED MYOPIC FUCK.
And for the fucking record, where I live has a better record on censorship, corruption, press freedom and human rights abuses than the US.
" it's faster than Python or Bash. And sometimes not even that if you include JIT time."
TROLL.
what is a fanboi?
If all else fails, lower your standards.
