Also the Android-x86 team and thousands of xda-developers, as well as CyanogenMod. I'm sure somebody can tweak the makefile a bit to reduce this to 8 GiB. Otherwise a lot of homebrew developers will need to continue their experiments with gingerbread until they can upgrade their build machine. Perhaps distributed computing could help?
Did you assume I was being sarcastic when I said the sweatshops reduce child prostitution? I'm not being hypocritical at all. I am a proponent of globalization. I have friends in the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, and Guatemala. Admittedly those places are definitely not third world by any means with the exception of a few areas, but it is enough to, at least in my own opinion, grant me some insight. When I say friends I don't mean pretend Skype pen pal buddies from a distant land, but that I have traveled with, eaten with, sweat and bleed with, and even fell in love with these people. I know their entire life stories as intimately as I know my own. I am a American currently living in the United States and I agree with you that many people are completely wrong about many things, especially the well-to-do self-righteous folk. I know children that have to work and despite Western sentiments they are all extremely grateful to have the opportunity to do any kind of decent honorable paid employment nearly regardless of the working conditions. I would like to hear more of your beliefs and personal experiences. You can email me via my google profile: https://plus.google.com/117959146781245295148/about
lol by solved are you referring perhaps to the rampant slavery and human trafficking which sustains the first world way of life?:-D the best thing about manufacturing-sweat-shops and multi-national-industry is that its been proven to reduce child prostitution. EVERYBODY WINS!
Exactly. Its not to make email more safe its for profit. Its always about profit, this is supposed to be common knowledge. M$ plans to squeeze every drop of revenue they can from their total market monopoly on Office. The idea of the cheap plans is to get ya hooked enough to get you to buy the enterprise level ones. You need more than 500 emails? You must not be a small business! What YOU REALLY need is to upgrade for an extra $150 a month. People, I know we all hate spam but switch to a decent filter and stop letting it effect your slashdot posts.:-D
Dear damian2k,
In my day there was no y2k all we had was 2k.. of ram, a BASIC interpreter, a keyboard, and a paper bound book of programs.
the concepts in cosmos and similar managed execution systems are very much an operating system. its been tested with java for years.
now they are working on redoing it in.NET. its gonna take awhile and a few abandoned projects to get this kind of code at critical mass.
somebody just stumble across microsoft research today in their yahoo toolbar and cant wait to get on teh front page instead of in discussions? there was a link to cosmos site from the singularity os site.
Am I to assume this is the long overdue open source hardware that was promised to compliment the OpenBTS software stack? Because last time I checked the OpenBTS hardware store's cheapest offering is $3,500.00 for a kit that I assume powers two devices with a range of 5 feet.
Either something BIG has happened or Low-Cost is a relative assessment.
How do we know this isn't the result of the e-patent wars against Android?
Wolber adds: 'Even looking at it from Google's perspective, I find the decision puzzling.
Microsoft and Apple likely both have "App" patents. I'm sure there is a secret cross-licensing agreement sealed with a NDA, preventing Google from continuing to support App Inventor.
I base my statements on absolutely no evidence other than prevalent trends in the community and the absence of evidence itself. I am simply saying it should be considered as a possibility.
there is probably a debug ID that is hard coded to be accepted by all pumps within the model version. basing my statements on absolutely nothing i am pretty sure this is the case just because this is how the tech world works. factory testing, device failure analysis, recovering locked out units with lost/broken remotes are not necessarily, but certainly most easily and cheaply (in terms of material and man work hours), implemented by hard coded privileges "protected" only by obfuscation... the burden of proof shouldn't be on me or some black hat to say it is or isn't so. the burden is on the manufacturer to prove this to the customers and government oversight. (lol @ government oversight) p.s. malformed packets ftw as for buffer overflows. now who wants to bet the protocol is nothing more than a heavily modified ZigBee?
DirectX10? So what? Few games really require it, you can do without. Aero? Please, let's talk about something useful, shall we? Now, I am probably not an expert on Windows, but that's pretty much all where I can see Vista/7 sing "everything you do I can do better".
I was going to say Windows Presentation Foundation but then Microsoft went and backported it to XP as part of.NET 3 for XP. Microsoft was facing issues with the new technology failing to be adopted because the install base for XP at release time was much higher than what we see in TFS. (Who reads TFA?)
Android already supports an encrypted data storage API, but it is up to the individule App authors to implement it. At first only PayPal seemed to do this correctly but the other Major apps like Chase seem to do this now after public attention was drawn to their storing plain-text. You can also disable USB auto-mount (I'm wondering who your OEM is that auto-mount is enabled to begin with, are you sure this is the phones behavior?) You also aren't forced to use the visual lock screen either! You can use a pin-code or 3rd party software. Remote wipe software is also available and is a standard feature of Motorola's Blur Android. You can protect your Google account by activating two factor authentication, that way the phone gets its own unique password that can be deactivated and doesn't store the true password for Google. In the end physical access means ownage though.
but i hear the XT is similar just less powerful hardware. it was easy with instructions on xda developers forums. as well as many roms ready for flashing. there is no reason to do this on your own unless its to brag that you cracked something thats already been cracked. this isn't news. its not even a discussion. why is this on the front page? this guy is using/. to tell everyone how cool and smart her is.
And yet Facebook does all of that too, but instead of being up front and honest about it, its all hidden in a massive EULA. If a fake sense of security is your comfort blanket, be my guest, go ahead a cuddle up. Only name and gender are public, so do some research before you post. Actually it is a good thing that profiles come up in Google searches. Now instead of going to page 2 or 3 of the results and finding out stuff I have no control over, most people will now be satisfied with clicking on my profile and seeing ONLY what I have chosen to share. (Other than name and gender.) As for privacy, Google+ has much finer and intuitive privacy controls than facebook, this (circles) being the main selling point over facebook. Facebook allows you to make groups and allows you to hide and show specific posts to specific friends, but does not allow you to use your groups with the security options, forcing you to look over possibly hundreds of names every-time you want to post something semi-privately. This is a bunch of FUD made for the sole purpose of making Zuckerberg money. Thank you for feeding the trolls.

I see what you did there.
As any self-respecting noosphere node should! :-D
Thank you for fixing that for me. I appreciate the time you spent replying to my comments and for sharing your alternate points of view.

OpenJDK is thriving http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/ so its just a matter of time basically.
Idiots. How does 'Google+' say 'Social Network'? In any way?

now who looks like an idiot? stop trolling.
