> make their player models 30x smaller for a month
I like the obvious visual shunning aspect but something tells me these tools would just be able to find more exploits with their player models a different size.

Re: Self regulation...?
Hush you. The housing melt down was because the evil government required the rich to lend to the irresponsible minorities and not because of a giant lack of regulation and self regulation failing miserably. Said argument works great if you gut the public education system for a generation or so.

Oracle security hahah
Remember this post as I will actually praise Micro$oft. I do have to admit you seldom read articles about .Net vulnerabilities remaining unpatched for long so Oracle really has no excuses. In fact that the only company out there with worst security and practices is Adobe and even that is questionable at this point
Disable Java NOW, users told, as 0-day exploit hits web

Re: wow
thus why I said on consumer desktops/laptops. The corporate world is the main place it found its niche. Its not a bad language necessarily (although managed code in general is a joke imho) but the Snoracle VM implementation has always been sh_t. Java's biggest problem has always been its steward.

Re: @asdf - wow
Well if you use Chrome you get flash sand boxed which is a decent compromise assuming you don't mind Google collecting data. Damned if you do somewhat. As for Java as mentioned virtually no non corporate desktop will notice its gone. Java has largely been a fail on the consumer desktop.

not to be devils advocate
Granted many of the complaints above about the US are valid and we have soiled our name quite a bit lately but still Chinese companies and innovation have generally been an oxymoron until very recently and that this has to do with the government sponsored industrial espionage (yes the West does it too) is finally starting to pay off.

Funny how quiet the UK side will be on this now their government is being as assnine as the Yank's government that they love to comment on. Assange is a douche bag of the first order but the UK government is almost making him a sympathetic figure at this point.

Nice another person who understand that using Dreamweaver and PHP scripts hijacked off the net does not make you a professional developer. Web graphical designer or Web hack are more appropriate. Well done.

Yeah and unlike Google they really don't give us much for not worrying about our privacy. Google at least gives us the best browser imho and a pretty decent open free (relatively of course) mobile os as well.

There fixed it for ya. Five years straight in the red and 1/5 the size of its hey day is exactly because the nerds who built the company no longer have any say or have passed on.

Re: A sign of things to come
The ability though to buy half life 2, years in the past for a PC, forget about it and then recently download the steam client for your Mac and have most the games (many games of course have no Mac port) you purchased years ago available on the new platform is very nice. Like finding cash in an old coat you forgot about. Kinda of torn on Steam. Yes its DRM but its the only one done even half way right.

the problem
Yes its all legal and above board but it does glorify some things that are necessary but shouldn't be glorified. Its one thing to enjoy shooting guns responsibly but the whole gun porn worship thing is crass and obnoxious. I don't care if people in my community own guns as long as I don't have to see them in public.

no surprise
No surprise on Nintendo as they don't seem to follow the rest of the industry on alot of other legal things as well. Nintendo is still just about the only company openly hostile to the fair use provision of the US copyright law (that you are allowed to have a copy of roms you buy to say play on an emulator) even though its the law of the land.

add it to the list
Well since Microsoft has already made a mockery of ISO and Ecma why not add another 4 letter org to the list? Keep believing there is any major organization in western civilization not completely corrupted by money. If you ever hear Gartner or IDC fyi mention a specific company know that company paid big bucks to get that mention.

Re: Piracy??
And I am not saying piracy is good in any way. I am just saying most of the artists I love didn't do it for the money and in many ways loathe the corrupt western money whore aspect of our culture in general. I like the Grateful Dead biz model (lol not that they considered it that way) of letting people freely share your music including recording concerts and making your money on the tours. Of course not everyone can do that.

Re: Runaway jury? (@ShadowedOne)
Honestly Germany I think has a jury of judges and I always thought that was a lot smarter. I understand in the days of kings you had to worry about the judicial system not being independent but in most western countries that is no longer a concern (thus the whining about activist judges in the US). Honestly I don't trust my peers to decide my fate. The way the US education system is I hardly trust my peers to make me a sandwich.
Ready to patent that 'new' invention? Google is here to dash your hopes

Re: Good on them
Me thinks Google might get some resistance from the system on this one. Lawyers would much prefer you pay them hundreds of dollars an hour to search for you and in most countries the law is largely written by people who are/were lawyers by trade. Easy prior art threatens the whole giant legal fee generation system that is the patent system.
