I still see the FSF as a bit... idk... zealous? delusional? deliberately blind?

The basic problem is that the GPL cannot live up to it's goal in all cases unless it is backed by both a) software patents and b) a software patent license under the terms of the GPL. Absent that all you have is a license that allows you to do some things otherwise prohibited by copyright law. You have no restrictions beyond copyright law.

The problem here is that copyright law doesn't ban all copying and distribution. Notable cases in the US which allowed verbatim copying of part of source or object code in commercial products as fair use include Oracle v. Google and Lexmark v. SCC. In both cases the court basically said that 17 USC 102(b) precludes using copyrights to ban control secondary markets of practical tools.

So I read this as that in US law you do not need the copyright owner's permission to distribute software that links to a copyrighted library. If I want to link to GNU Readline with my proprietary app, 17 USC 102(b) protects me regarding US law, provided I dont distribute Readline myself. But hey, virtually every Linux distro ships with Readline so, what does it matter?

I don't know how fruits-of-labor jurisdictions address this issue but there is likely to be some line that prevents this as well. Otherwise Microsoft could say "Nobody can distribute MinGW for Windows 8 because no longer give permission to link against our system libraries for that version." No court in the world will give Microsoft that level of power, ergo I doubt the FSF has anything close to that either.

I may be wrong, but from what I understood, it's going to be the same as it is today with .Net. I mean, in .Net, you can choose the target framework in Project properties [1].

So, by saying "Multi-targeting enables developers to take advantage of the new features of the IDE", I think that they will make the same thing... You choose your "target framework" (compiler + libraries) inside Project properties, and that's it, the IDE handles the rest.

PG was right. People don't pay for software tools. But companies do. The number of freelancers who pay is small so focus could be on getting the sales funnel working for the developers inside the companies.

I'm afraid that memleaks alone would be too small benefit to keep a dedicated overhead running in production. Leaks are something that you worry only after it already happened. What could work is a system monitoring dashboard that includes memory leak detection. Definitely something corp clients and developers could love at the same time. But the competition is already there, just none of them has the memleaks detection.

Zeroturnaround has been very successful with the java class reloading business thanks to the massive pain that java developers face daily with the bloated frameworks that make you develop inside the running application instead of writing small batches of test-driven code. Perfect fit for corporate environments. I'm not sarcasatic here. On the contrary, I'm very happy to see a very serious problem being solved. It's a huge dedication to work with all the containers and frameworks to get the live class reloading right.

I was using a more extreme example to make it more obvious how ridiculous what you were saying was.

Let's try again: imagine there were a truck load of Android pads going somewhere but the truck got stolen. The thief quickly gets the pads to his story and sends out advertisement everywhere that he has the new Android pad for $1! People are lined up outside the store ready to buy but before he can open the police show up, shut the store down and recover the pads. The people only lost out on a sale that never should have existed. It's not the fault of the police for stopping the sale, nor the person who reported the crime. It's the fault of the thief.

Likewise, if this product infringes patent(s) then it should not exist. Any disappointment to the customers if the fault of the company that made the illegal product, not the ones who stop sale (the judge) nor the people who reported the infringement (Apple).

Funny story. I programmed briefly in C and went to Java. I had almost five years of experience there. Due to circumstances, my sister now needs some help coding some stuff in C (note these aren't same types of problems I had). And I noticed that I am now so much more productive in C compared to what I was before. Hell I make less mistakes than in Java (granted problems are a bit easier).

My point is - are you sure you just aren't better programmer overall and attributing that (somewhat underservedly because GC and a huge choice of collections) to Java/Clojure/<insert language>?

The reason Apple hasn't used FRAND patents against Android OEMs is because it doesn't have any FRAND patents it could use. The reason it doesn't have them is because, unlike its competitors, Apple didn't fund the fundamental R&D on which modern mobile phone networks are based. Apple basically wants to be able to take the fruits of its competitors R&D that made smartphones possible for cents whilst locking those competitors out of making money from selling their own phones via patents on trivial things like slide-to-unlock and detecting phone numbers in messages.

Multi-targeting was how the XP support worked before this announcement. The problem was that the main reason to upgrade is to get the new C++11 langauge features, not new IDE features.

With the previous approach you still can't use the new features because the XP support is simply to use the VS2010 compiler within the VS2012 IDE.

This new announcement is that the VS2012 toolchain will support XP directly.

As someone who can only use the subset of C++11 features that both GCC and MSVC both support, I am very pleased with this news.
2000 was a real leap forward. Everything since wasn't. I'd still be running windows 2000 if it ran on my hardware (and my software ran on it). I've never directly paid for a post-2000 version of windows, only got it on new hardware.
That sounds anti-competitive. So is there a reason other search providers aren't being allowed the opportunity to support this functionality?
I don't know how big these data centers are, but why don't they just build a power plant right next to it, dedicated and with underwire lines?

I'm a fan of decentralized power generation, and it would seem like large consumers would have the most to gain.

Is this a regulation issue? I imagine Amazon becoming a provider of electricity (even if it's just to itself), can become a political mess.
It's absolutely doable in HTML+Js - I've written a TableView in GWT that utilizes the exact same principle and was actually inspired by Cocoa's TableView API. It could render thousands of rows (or however many) utilizing only a few actual divs.
Think about it some more. Suppose one smartphone company invests its money in R&D related to wireless communications that's fundamental to any smartphone, and as a result gets FRAND patents on those technologies. Now suppose their competitor instead invests its money in patenting things like swipe-to-unlock, creating a thicket of non-FRAND patents that allow them to attack any competing phone. The company that did the fundamental R&D that made smartphones possible loses to the company that patented a bunch of trivial things, because they have to license their patents to their competitors on the cheap, but their competitor doesn't have to license their thicket of non-FRAND patents and can sue to stop them actually selling any phones.

The way Apple is approaching FRAND patents disincentivises the kind of R&D required to make things like the iPhone possible in the first place. It didn't matter before because all the major phone manufacturers were doing some share of the R&D work, and this gave them a leg up on making their products work well - but that doesn't help if they can't actually sell those products because of Apple.
I'm willing to accept that if you have more than an anecdote to support your position?

No, their whole article is lawyer/marketoid speak:

They spent most of the article to claim "we already have Multi Targeting" only to wrap inside that actually you need another version of VS (the older VS 2010) to target XP:

"Developers wishing to target Windows XP can use Visual Studio’s C++ multi-targeting feature, which enables the use of the Visual Studio 2010 compiler from within the new IDE."

Note 2010. Note that you use new IDE but you can't use no new language features from 2012, meaning you don't use anything from 2012 except the new (black icons) IDE, everything is compiled with VS 2010 then.

Then finally in the last few sentences: "Later this fall, Microsoft will provide an update to Visual Studio 2012 that will enable C++ applications to target Windows XP."

There will be an update for VS 2012 sometime this fall with which you'll be first time able to use VS 2012 to compile software which will run on XP. Before that update comes VS 2012 won't produce the native code that runs on XP.

I'm very glad they decided there will be this update. They reversed the decision based on which they made the release of the Visual Studio.

More seriously, power plants go offline on a regular basis -- typical availability factors are around 90% due to the need for regular maintenance. You need to have a power grid in order to have any reasonable availability.

Blocking new writes on it's own would cause instant filesystem corruption for all the hosts using EBS, unless they had already completed their writes and had time to flush their disk caches.

You'd need to integrate it with each VM running, possibly just be sending it the equivalent of a shutdown command from the console, so that it understood that the disk was going away in X seconds, and to shutdown any databases immediately, flush all cache, unmount filesystems, and shutdown itself.

It wouldn't be massively difficult, but not as simple as simply shutting down EBS.

They only promised to make the patents FRAND. The fact that it turns out there was no actual solid legal definition of FRAND is why they are in court. That was a disaster in the making anyway and left intentionaly vague so these same large companies could bully smaller ones.

I was wondering about that too -- I'd love to see the same thing happen with EC2 instances, sending an instance stop signal five minutes before power goes out so that daemons can be stopped and the OS can sync its filesystems to disk before shutting down.

My guess is that this functionality is missing for historical reasons -- the original S3-backed instances didn't have any concept of powering off an instance.

There are multiple versions of Wine out there, and the exact results potentially depend on the user's Linux distro, the exact versions of packages installed, the compiler version it's built with, ...
