All the more reason net neutrality matters. A LOT.
Hmmm, do I want the disney internet, or the work internet, or the Time-Warner internet, or the HBO internet...
It will become mindless channels instead of the broad communication tool it is now
.... I'm confused as to how this is liberalism???
So, I'm all for them switching away from MS....
But the idea that they need to sync their software upgrades with their hardware upgrades is RIDICULOUS.
Are you kidding me? How do they deal with patches? How do they deal with exploits?
Hardware on an ATM can't get replaced THAT often and if that's when they want to run software updates?
So..... here's the thing....
except you're pissing off the biggest governments in the world (US, Russia, China) by creating a currency they can't control........ currency is used as a method of control
well I know exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to steal and terrorize anyone who accepts it.
Flame was ridiculously amazing, and those same programmers are still at work doing SOMEthing..... I'd bet they had a hand in some of these.... they seem too well co-ordinated, first one, then as the media coverage starts to die, another....and wait a week, we'll hear of a third.
The reality is that this is an opportunity for Amazon.....
Amazon has an app store, they could have the ability to sell Blackberry, IOS, Android apps all from the vendors so that when you buy an app it's device agnostic.
Then the app-stores that are phone specific now become ONE app store that allows you to take your apps with you. One App store that you can pick which version/compatibility to install.
Amazon just needs to be able to import your Play Store Sales, and Apple Sales so that you can get those apps from them.
...suddenly a vulnerability is found and a kid rips off the first DDOT (Distributed Denial of Transportation)
and all of London's cars come to a grinding halt...
The useful ones.
then you can only half go there.
Yeah, Edison profited off the research of his students, and everyone around him......a bad example to be used if they want to prove patents are useful.
So is the Secret Court lying, or is Yahoo's Marissa, google, lavabit and a handful of other companies that supposedly challenged their compliance lying?
because someone is, and my guess is the people that are running the 'secret' courts are lying.
Relationship is a net loss?
I guess you don't walk on sidewalks, drive on roads, use public infrastructure or enjoy clean water.
electricity? phones?
mmm hmmmm....
This is about switching Carriers, not Rooting.
What? In this age of virtual machines and snapshots?
I really doubt that.
See if you look at what they're doing, they're not actually trying to stem the flow of their "IP".
If their IP was valuable, or if they had a reasonable case, they'd take it to redhat, etc...
I mean if I invented something and someone big was selling the same thing.... and I had a case for it.... Why would I go after small potatoes Users rather than the big guy with $1billion dollars?
Unless my goal is to just extract small payments out of everyone because I know that I don't have a real case. Just be enough of a nuissance that people pay me to go away rather than fix the problem. I have no interest in fixing the problem, that doesn't benefit my wallet. Especially if the problem is trivial.
Where's the IBM suit? Oracle? Redhat? no, they could change things so that I wouldn't get my paychecks.
Why not at least tell people what's infringing so that I can be honest? Patents aren't secret anyways, so any patent I have is already public, but how I'm using them isn't. NDA's all around so that nobody ever knows and can't file a class-action for my security payments..
Pay me or I'll smash up your small bar.
as a long-time ATI fan....
the ATI drivers DO suck. They don't upgrade nicely, often break their own config......which sucks..
but I can deal with that...... no problem....
However killing support of a card when it's 1yr old I can't do. I'm sorry, Fuck you ATI. Give me Driver support for 3 years MINIMUM
