If Hulu has "an evil plot to take over the world", then we all can rest peacefully tonight knowing this move will ensure this does not happen.

+1 for preaching the truth!

IT'S A TRAP! There are far to many other programming languages that are not tied up in corporate copyrights and litigation.

So when do we get to hear about Jack B. Palmer vs. Infosys in a civil case of corporate harassment? I swear these companies are just plain stupid.

I'm reminded yet again why I was and still am leery of Java. So Oracle's Chewbacca defense is Elvish? Oracle is becomming a collective used douche bag. First they screw over MySQL, lame duck Open Office, and now they want to go down the road of burning all the bridges Java has built because they never got off the golf coarse with smart phones. Finally a company worse than the one I'm stuck at.

"Hacking" has a certain feel and conotation to it. When in reality most if not all major US firms just hire or outsource their development and thus openly hand over the family jewels. And these major corporations know this as they want the sell goods in different places. It's just a more P.C. form of bribery. You want to sell to China, then you need to hire engineers from China. China has it's sights on long term goals, where as corporations in the USA has their sights on the business quarter to meet Wall Street expectations.

Lets get back to throwing rocks. USAF can either start creating high earth orbital guns that can rain down large inert ordinance or start harvesting asteroids and push them into a trajectory to their intended target. In both cases let gravity do all the hard work. No missile defense shield can stop a house sized chunk of iron going 30K mph. That should have the power of an atomic bomb without the radiation.

Using high precision explosive ordinance is so passe. Time to act like gods and get back to wiping out entire countries; not just small Toyota pickups in the middle of deserts.

I'm sure glad car companies don't feel the same way about people trading in their used cars.

I'm surprised how well preserved it's in. Looks like it landed itself inside Iran. Which gives some pause. If the drone and it's technological components are sensitive military secrets, why didn't that thing self destruct by nose diving into the ground or blow up at high altitude once it lost communication with command and control?

Or is it a trojan horse of sorts? You'd think the Iranians are now twice as shy to hook anything with a network port to any of the devices on the drone. Or is the drone laying in wait for that one wrong screw marked "top secret" from being turned to take out Iran's military engineers? It's a risky move as you know Syria, Russia, and China are about to pull up the cash wagon and hopefully drive off with parts.

Or is it just plain old stupidity? The US military and CIA is something to both be impressed and embarrassed about. Some of their plans are just awe-inspiring cold world James Bond cool shit. Then there is those moments where no one thinks to secure USB ports on top secret military computer that only yield to palm plants to the face.

I can't wait to see how this plays out and I hope it's not as simple as they lost their ball over the neighbor's fence.

So it would seem that Mozilla's reliance on Google, has made the organization weak financially if their funds dry up. If Opera can survive under their own broader agreements without one massive sugar daddy, then so can Mozilla with Firefox.
