I would suspect there were likely copies of the old code. If you are sufficiently affected by the change, perhaps you would be well-served to track one down and maintain a fork?

The way I read his argument was- "It is ironic that the US is concerned about the patents. Patents only have weight because governments give them weight - They could declare the patents public domain at any time."

I'm just curious if sales figures have been announced, or why you're saying it's not selling well?

The way I read it is that they’ll first ban plastic straws at sit down places, then charge extra for plastic straws for takeout, then ban plastic straws for takeout as well as sit down dining.

The EFF received quite a few bitcoins early on, which it redistributed. On the one hand, they'd be worth quite a bit today. On the other, without ways of getting more people interested in bitcoin, they might have just stayed an intere

Your argument seems to imply that people thoroughly read the TOS for every website they use. Even if you do that, most people don’t, regardless of country. “Disclosing” things by putting them in the middle of a document that people don’t re

Use a guided program such as StrongLifts 5x5. It’ll guide you through the exercises to do, how often to do them, and how to do them properly.

I buy Audible credits, which come out to ~10/book. I don't see an option for them on the non-logged in page, but I buy a set of them, and then can use them how I want, not per month. While the Netflix model is nice for residual co

We see this over and over - People guess how many iPhones Apple is selling, and predict a big problem. ( https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2016/10/03/iphone-7-... ) Later, Apple releases number

Not OP, but I personally was pretty heavily affected - I run Robohash.org, which runs off a bunch of Digital Ocean droplets. I needed to fire up ~ 30% additional nodes after they did their migration. I didn't measure as carefully as I

I've heard that they have a patent cross license agreement, which is why AMD can use x86 and Intel can use AMD64, but I hadn't heard about the ownership. I don't see Intel listed at http://www.nasdaq.com/symbo

Part of what I find frustrating as a user is that I don't like ANY of those features :) While I'd prefer a model without any advertising (and am willing to pay for it), I can put up with unobtrustive ads, without tracking, like Da

I’m interested in one as a new speaker. I don’t expect I’ll enable Siri. I want to use it as an AirPlay target. I was previously considering a Sonos, but the Airplay2 support will be baked into the OS so I don’t need to use a clunky 3rd par

A lot of TV shows and movies are now only available on Hulu. I've started subscribing, and am seriously considering dumping Netflix.

I've talked to people in the past who associate a union with factory work, and they don't feel like it applies to them. I sometimes point out that every movie star they've ever heard of is a member of a union. I think part of

I've spoken with several companies that just finished transitioning to Windows 7 in the last year or so. For them, official support from MS is not a major factor in their decisions. Whether it should be or not is another matter, but in

If you're manufacturing the hardware as well as the software , this is less of an issue. Getting a new OS to run on a new cellphone, or laptop is a surmountable task.

I think it's a fun project! It's obviously early, but since you've posted it, I'm guessing you're looking for feedback? The look is great, it's a fun way to browse the FS, and once this is further along I might

I've been an iPhone user since launch, but this really is user-hostile behavior. I understand why they did it, and it's not bad as a field-patch to a hardware bug, but doing it silently is pretty skeevy. They should have mentioned

I think their ideas about a business model are hogwash. Even in places where the movies are $6/month, they would need huge numbers of people to sign up, and use the service 0-1 times per month, month after month.. That doesn't see

Somewhat amusingly, it provides one of the best reasons to continue to provide an x86 version of apps, rather than going 64-bit only.

If the machine is properly firewalled off, and only accessing the internet using apps which are up-to-date, I think the realistic risk is pretty minimal.
