Again, Rick, I apologize, I skimmed the article while having a really bad day and came out swinging. And then my procrastination filter kicked in before I could properly apologize.
You're right, I was having a really bad day and skimmed the article.
Okay, fine, I'm being an asshole.
I read the article. The author intends to create an environment where a select few take a risk so many can gain access to the material.
I hope he gets hit by a truck today. I really do. There isn't, nor will there ever be an argument where the enablement of child molestation and rape is acceptable. And if there is collateral damage, then so be it. I'd…
Since ethics isn't fixed, then what watermark do you suggest to define a universal ethics. It's like euthanasia, is it ethical for a doctor to commit murder if it's to stop terrible suffering? It was ethical to own…
Not only excusable, but encourageable. It's a LAW. It's maliable. If it's wrong, fix it. The reason we have them is to govern what we can and should do.
Of course they are, but they are paying licencing fees to use the features that they are. Otherwise they would be sued.
Well, absolutely, Samsung is leveraging Google's, and many companies R&D. But R&D isn't cheep, intuitive, or obvious. Blackberry decided not to copy Apple very much, still created some great phones from a…
Again, that may be an act of war, but since it's not against it's own people, it's not Orwellian.
No, I'm not, and the reason you think I am is because you're not looking at the whole picture. Apple invests it's shareholder dollars in R&D on the promise that they will return on that investment. Apple spent years…
Don't worry America, Canada still gets screwed by all y'all.
You won't have much of a choice after 5 years, all new cars will be semi-autonomous. A few year after that, people will enjoy the benefits so much that, that there won't be much demand for driveable cars. It's the same…
Since nothing about that is totalitarian at all, I don't think the term Orwellian is correct. Having computers recognize us and authorize or authenticate is solely at the whim of the consumer. It becomes Orwellian when…
Well, no. You can look at an LCD monitor and say "look, prior art for a tablet" but that doesn't meet the legal meaning and requirements, and nor does this for the purposes of this case. Stop making the argument about…
You're creating an actual instance of that object preloaded with whatever you need rather than a mock of that item which implements a fake implementation. They're not really competing since Mocks are most useful when…
Yea, once your model gets more complex than a dozen or so objects, then something like this is awesome. I only with there was an equivalent in ASP.Net MVC which is the current bill payer. (Plant is the closest I've…
I think in order to stay positive one must ignore reality.
??? This doesn't even make a tiny bit of sense.
Actually, this really pisses me off. Heaven forbid that all the hard work we do as developers actually come with a reasonable compensation option... like money. I think more sites need to go pay only, I'm tired of every…
That's how we used to make GUIs. Miss those days.
And look how that turned out... Just sayin
I'm stupid, epic fail? Nice.
It's funny, because for me this is it's greatest weakness. I prefer not to wonder if I'm making the wrong decision every line.
In most religions, it was a death sentence to leave the religion. So that couldn't possibly have had anything to do with it?
