Not on Verizon, though.

Why is strong/dynamic typing considered such a big deal?

Google apps on iOS are a clusterfuck. You should see YouTube, for example.

You say it's antisocial behaviour like they do that just for the sake of it, when there is money to be made. Like sending spam, etc. You want a botnet? Then compromise stuff, and then use the botnet for your benefit. It's not antisocial in any way.

In any case, a huge amount of Android devices out there run outdated versions of the kernel, drivers or Android itself with privilege escalation vulnerabilities.

The only thing that is insane here is that we all deem this as "normal".

I guess they mean the original Pentium. Is that still actively used?

For some time, iirc, it was about to be called Blas de Lezo.

Only that this is not a sexual setting and the fact it is a "she" changes nothing in this context.

Race of whom? Cruz, Trump, Bernie and Hillary are all caucasian. What am I missing?

That would be madness. Imagine a browser that did that, or that crashed the tab in case of a JS error. There would be no pages left :P

What doesn't? Imagemagick, for me, is the one stop shop for all kind of image filters, resizing, recoding, etc

Tell that to HTML engines ;P

>Brazil is the seventh world economy, if you count the number of nations in north america and europe, being the seventh world economy is a great deal.

GDP per capita is what matters here. And GDP per capita in Brazil is a joke. I think a country full of poor people can be called a poor country.

In my case I have always liked and followed the Bitcoin scene because everybody in his right mind knew it would turn into a shitshow.

I mean you have the combination of an open source community, libertarians, and a shitload of money. The outcome is pretty obvious.

It's not like his attitude was more mature. https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/724749571495075840

What makes you assume that?

Better idea: https://gist.github.com/rhenium/3878505

What's Twitter going to do against that?

>If somebody else comes out with a chip that's substantially better than x86 for servers

I like it that you make it sound like that's easy task, when it's gonna take a good amount of time and a few billion dollars to do.

"x86 is legacy" is a very good meme.

Or maybe it's a bot. Somebody should try to make it post a story with $$ in the title and see if it escapes it to the PID... :-)

Licencing an OS is being open? Because, remember, on (for example) a Samsung mobile only the Android frameworks and the kernel are open. The rest, including kernel drivers (SoC, etc), built-in apps, the Google frameworks and apps, etc are completely closed.

Apple is not licencing iOS to OEMs. They are also very far away from a monopoly.

Apple's market share in Europe is so laughable they literally can do whatever they want, but not allowing other browser engines on iOS is certainly not grounds for an antitrust lawsuit.

By now I haven't heard anything of how they make or will make money. It's like nobody addresses that. I know a messaging app is not exceptionally expensive to run but still. Anybody has any hints?

That's like asking why does Windows use \ instead of /. It's not hatred, it's just... the way things work. Changing it would be very costly and would create compatibility problems for decades presumably, so why do it?

I don't have anything against fun things, but seeing the same memes we have all seen every day for years now is not really funny.

That's my thought too. I'm sure most of the so-called "security experts" who like to talk about how important privacy and security are for the rest of us are sitting on lots of 0-days.

Seriously, it's 2016, stop it with the memes.

My idea is that if they try to access your contacts, instead of receiving a potentially unhandled "access denied" exception, they should just receive an empty contact list. Et cetera.
