German rulings do not apply to Europe or any part of Europe other than Germany.

A German court ruling doesn't even apply to another case in the same German court, nor a Dutch ruling to another Dutch court. None of these countries are common law countries, which means precedence is non-binding. They do however _look_ at other court rulings and look at the arguments and conclusions, which you can do across any curistiction, so in most countries (since only very few are common law like the UK and US), looking at a ruling from another country is not that odd especially when the laws are the same or similar.

It's easily disabled

No it isn't. From mobile it is no longer possible to disable, it just redirects nobeta links to beta, and there is no login to beta, so no way of logging in and enforcing your settings. Yeah it is THAT broken.

They don't. They need to buy something with the money or withdray them. The transfers can easily be undone and the money will return to where they were taken from unless they are fully out of the electronic system.

That and Python is not nearly as fast to use for oneliners. Perl is strongest as a shell replacement for writing powerful scripts, efficient scanning&parsing or a quick hack.

In a court they don't have rules against lying, that is too ill defined; they have rules against intentionally misleading the court. Which is what happened here. Which is pergury.

Now try to say Federal Intelligence Service. In German they drop the spaces between nouns that form a new whole, but you have similar syntax in spoken English, you just put spaces between the nouns when you write them.

This is more about HDMI being a broken standard to me. I just don't like DisplayPort because it's sort of Apple's thing.

It is fortunately only the silly mini-displayport port that is Apple specific. I still have nightmares of trying to buy a displayport cable at a computer store and they send me to the horror that is the Apple section of the store, which was rows and rows of incompatible crap.

Sweden tried a transaction tax in the 90s, but they made the tax too high (1% if I remember correctly). The results were not good for the Swedish economy so they rolled the law back. So there you go, even socialist countries like Sweden can rollback socialist laws if they turn out bad.

Yeah, but it hasn't had PHP/Perl style string injection before. That can get nasty. though I am sure this feature is compiletime only considering the "security" focus of the language. If not it could be a serious problem (think PHP SQL-injections).

Take a simple one from Mac versus Windows: On the Mac, in a dialog box, the default button is always the right-most button. So you have a dialog box that says, "Are you sure you want to do this?" and the right-most button would say, "OK" and the button to the left of it would say, "Cancel." On Windows, the default "OK" button would be on the left with the "Cancel" button the right of it.

Oh, stop trolling. You have obviously never used Qt, it will automatically fix the order of the dialog buttons for you. You can even launch the same application under GNOME and get one order, and under KDE and get another. It is controlled by the widget-style it uses. And it does more than that, it also matches the reading direction of the language you are using so that it reverses for Hebrew, Arabic or other right-to-left languages.

There are things that you need to handle yourself in a crossplatform application, but that is not one of them.

I was refering to Swift. Objective-C is just unused everywhere outside of Apple because it is a horrible language.

More perl and ocaml. The syntax is ML like with a severe case of a double Perl and JavaScript infection.

Who the hell references arguments with $1 and $2?

Any idea how to download it without iTunes?

You don't. That would break the whole idea of vendor lock-in, wouldn't it?

Why do you think Swift is platform specific? I think it is will almost certainly not be; Apple will be more interested in getting the new language adopted rather than locking in people. Therefore at least the core language is very likely to be neutral. In fact, there is a pretty good chance it will be available through the llvm channels, and have a BSD license.

Objective-C is not technically platform specific either, it just is in practice, because there is no room or reason for yet another wannabe C++-killer. There are already plenty of languages better than C++, another one wont make a difference, so Swift will be like Objective-C, Apple only.

Coffee hot enough to give 3rd degree burns to the genitals will probably get a lawsuit anywhere. That case gets trotted out as a negative example every time, but if you take the time to read up on it, it's the opposite.

If by anywhere you mean the US, yes. It would still count as cold coffee in Europe, so no, no one is going to sue over coffee colder than normal.
