None of which actually stops their use or forces them to pay.

I say airmail it to Russia or China. That should give them a WTF moment for sure. "Dear god, he's driven into the ocean!"

Have you forgotten that Java is now also owned by an almost identical same large company, that is by far less trustworthy than anything Microsoft ever hoped to be? Comparing Oracle and Microsoft's openness to a community is like making the comparison of tolerance between a Taliban insurgent and the Dahli Lama.

If you believe in something, have the balls to stand and die for it, otherwise you're just a coward or as history has shown, probably french. No revolution ever succeeds without real strength. Peaceful revolutions do not exist, never kid yourself otherwise. The govn was already looking for ways and reasons to control the internet and protests, this doesn't do anything to stop that. The simple fact is they have it anytime they want it and there is nothing the masses can do to stop it short of violence.

No one gives a shit about the source. We care about being able to run our own apps on it. In this sense, android allows it just as easy as windows does, with apple saying "no sir, go f yerself, this is our empire". No one mentioned it being open source, just being open to allowing you to run what you want. Now get off your code cave troll and go back to your git repository.

Congratulations...your military space station now has 113 anti satellite missiles now targeted at it China....welcome to the space race. Play nice. Remember, no one can hear you scream in space.

Quit your bitching. You get paid enough to do it. If you don't like it quit. There's more than enough they could do to fix your windshields if they wanted to, face it, you're not worth the money to invest in for a few annoyances a year to your own employers. It's the airlines faults for building runways and airports in the middle of population zones in the first damn place. As annoying as it is to get temporarily blinded, its just as annoying to all the people you're flying over to constantly hear the planes coming overhead.

I heard a rumor that there really isn't any internet traffic out of china, that all they really have is government teams of people posting stuff out for them to make us think they're actually connected. Instead all the people are actually surgically connected into the world's most powerful HUMANCENTiPAD.

Firefox download becomes a page 50 search term. With everything but links to firefox and failzilla appearing when you search for it.

When will these morons figure out you can't legislate out bullying. There's only one solution to bullying and that is standing up for ones self in some way. Making a law for every little thing doesn't solve anything. One would think they would have learned that with everything from speed limits and graffiti to prohibition and the war on drugs. Then again, this is NY senators who thing that simply having more gun laws will stop gun crime, and we see how well that has worked out for them as well.

Then I ask what the UCMJ says about when the Constitution is at odds with the current PotUS or the Order of the Officers above him? Or in any combination? At what point does the soldiers responsibility become to defend the Constitution of the United States against *all* enemies, foreign and domestic, even if those enemies are the President and the appointed officers?

News Corp and Apple. What they couldn't get the Chinese Government to sign off too? Call me when it is a news source someone will really care about or something that can't already be done for free.

Further proof that no matter how good of a system we design, the universe will design a better idiot to use it.

And people still wonder why Atari went basically out of business the first time (or was there a second time?) I can't really remember. It is all blurred into one giant bad decision after another :)
