There is simply no way this is actually a good faith attempt to benefit the citizenry here. None.
Well I don't know about anyone else, but I'm convinced! I'm glad you didn't try to cloud the issue by any kind of pesky evidence or anything!
Actual, real-world programs do more than "implement algorithms". Turing-completeness is completely irrelevant in pretty much every single practical programming situation.
Yes, MS is well known for suing students running VB.NET on Mono.
At least in the crazy universe inside your head.
Summary:
1) I hate Javascript.
2) asm.js is bad because I say so.
3) I hate Mozilla.
Number of factual statements about asm.js or its problems: Zero.
It does. That is why dark matter is the leading theory at the moment. It is the simplest one, with the least additional elements, that can actually explain all available observations.
There are plenty of simpler theories that can't, though, if you prefer things that are known to be wrong.
It is technically possible but practically impossible, for two reasons: One, it is very hard to get even backwards-compatible extensions approved for addition to PNG. See the failure of APNG for an example. Two, such a change would not really be backwards-compatible, and the files would be named "png" but would not actually open in any current PNG reader. There would thus be very little advantage of adding this to PNG rather than creating a new format.
PNG is quite old and tired at this point. Both BPG and other newly proposed formats such as WebP have lossless modes which easily beat PNG at compression.
WebP has lossy and lossless modes, just to clarify, and is actually a good candidate to replace JPEG, PNG and even GIF, as it also has animation.
Did you actually try doing that? Because IIS is doing quite well on that score, last I checked.
And it's far better to make the code visible to all then to wait for the exploit to be found in the usual ways while everyone was in the dark about it.
That is quite a strong claim to make without providing evidence to back it up.
Do cite your examples, then, and argue why they are equivalent.
Intelligence, as a very baseline requirements, should be adaptable.
Pretty much every single AI implementation is designed specifically for a given task. It can not adapt itself, without outside help, to a problem outside its initial scope.
That is not intelligence.
It's not that the flash is low grade, it's that it just plain doesn't exist, and the card will just discard data after a while. What flash there is in there probably works, but is useless.
The price is the dead giveaway that it is a fake. Flash memory does cost money, and it is sold at minimal margins. One fifth of the price means less than one fifth of the memory, every time.
The card will pretend to be as big as they claim, and it will silently just lose your data.
