Still, what jurisdiction would care?

This is a problem for Apple, not Samsung. Really. Even if Samsung made the phone, the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung S4 have a popularity which beats anything currently made by Apple.

Why is it a problem for Apple even if Samsung made the phone? Because Galaxy S3 is already an oldish model and Galaxy S4 doesn't have it, and the error can be fixed via an update if it eventually will be seen as a serious nuisance.

Apple has many issues. Even the minor bugs on their main phone competitor Samsung may set the Apple crowds' pubic hair on fire.

All Microsoft phones are still missing in action at the time of writing.

Given their origin I'm not surprised...

Jokes aside, I would have expected news like this come from a country with a culture originating in China or the Mediterranean.

Countries with borders facing the North Sea tend to have lower rates of corruption; with France as the pathetic exception.

I'm actually running Debian with Sid installed (I would be running Ubuntu if it wasn't for the delay between their respective releases) . Its kind of sad that Ubuntus main benefit (since Debian experimental releases are too wild) is that its everything you like about Debian Sid....great support; almost cutting edge, with backported fixes for stability(although not as Stable as Debian stable... but that is not cutting edge) with some sensible defaults...because it is basically Debian Sid.

Hell I quite like the fact that users tried to make Debian pretty (and fast).But the move towards recreating elements rather than *selecting* popular ones (Mer seriously) like say KDE 4.8 Oxygen, is going to hurt them. I hope they have success with Qt... where I think KDE (and all the other garbage...like a new package manager) might be a better fit.

So yeah not obligatory...I'm using it with KDE now, and accept other roots when I use that (and GNU/Linux)

Not is someone could go about producing a rolling (cutiing edge) GNU/Linux release (with an enormous rescue me button) then I would look forward to it.

Why not use a computer model? There has been very large money already spent on nuclear explosion simulators. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and other places have the computing expertise. Why would anyone use the real thing today? It is so unpredictable, you cannot calculate on it very well ad hoc. In a simulator you can at least determine how much unpredictable you want.

That was brilliant.

Thanks

Is it the Ubuntu guys who don't get it, or is it me?

Canonical taps Debian every six months and then add their own extras like brown colors and Unity. Then comes Mint and flavors both Debian and Ubuntu with mint.

But, in the meantime Debian changes, too. So, when Canonical or the Mint girls come back to the mothership there has been a number of changes, being more up-to-date than either of the children.

Is it the Ubuntu guys who don't get it, or is it just me?

This is not very new:

"a back door into a military central computer in which reality is confused with game-playing, possibly starting World War III"

So where is the news, except the setting?

Good! Rare is many according to the law of big N

Rare?! If only one in a million fits, that would be an enormous amount of habitable planets!

They had examined 900 in detail and and already concluded that a few might fit. Well, it sounds more like one in a hundred, which then would be even more GREAT!
