HTC Finally Releases Hero Source Code
An anonymous reader writes "After months of prodding by developers, HTC has finally released the long-requested Android source code for the HTC Hero. This follows up on a recent report on Slashdot concerning device manufacturer HTC's perceived stonewalling over releasing source code for the device after repeated attempts to initially obtain source were met with vague responses."
Even in the EU you can see differences. I am from central Europe, and sometimes I can only shake my head on the US you have to abide by the law no matter what mentality. We here have the mentality that law is done by people and sometimes the law is not fair so public disrespect and civil disobediance has to be done. That starts with small things but can also go big.
My personal opinion is this is the best way to cope with laws because as everything in life even laws are not a black and white thing, but if you live that way you have to live with getting punished (which literally no one cares here, unless the punishment starts to hurt severely)
So we dont have a black and white view on law. I assume if you go further east this becomes more along the lines of a nationalistic view of
we only care about laws which are done by us and no one else.
(We dont have that view on due to our history)
I guess our view is due to our history we have run through 2 fascistic governments
in the last 100 years and the laws back then neither wair fair nor could you obey
them without getting into conflict with your personal conscience.
There is always something above the law because law is done by man.
