So when an Android 3.0 user writes about how Flash sucks on Android 3.0, he's a "fanboy" of a totally different platform? You are not making sense, and believe that performance for 2.3.x (which I guess you have) indicates anything at all about performance under 3.0. When it does not, ref. all the writing about how Flash for Honeycomb and the Xoom was delayed at launch.
Does actual Flash applications - and not just the YouTube video player, or animated Flash ads - but for instance hover-dependent Facebook games, do they actually "work very well" there?
Yeah, the assholes that researched, constructed, manufactured and shipped the device you for some strange reason chose to buy over a device using the far more open competition... Seriously, why did you buy it if you hate the entire concept it is built around?
You do own the hardware, and can do whatever you want with it. Software is a different issue. Do not expect the manufacturer to make it easy for you to use it in any other way than with the supplied operating system. Nor do you own the telephone service, so if AT&T (or whatever other carrier) suddenly should decide to block jailbroken iPhones from their networks you have an expensive iPod Touch with an extra radio.
They wanted to use the DMCA to stop jailbreaking and the Library of Congress said that was not an option. But that holds for anyone that tries to misapply copyright law. That list is looong.
No, it is the Blizzard Background Downloader that use P2P protocols. However, that tends to start up when you start the game and check whether there is a future update available and start downloading in the background if so.
"In India, public display of affection is a criminal offense under Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 with a punishment of imprisonment of up to three months, or a fine, or both. This law has been used by the police and lower courts to harass and prosecute couples engaging in PDAs.[4][5] However in a number of landmark cases the higher courts have dismissed obscenity proceeding against kissing couples.[6][7] Attacks by vigilante groups also are a danger for those displaying affection.[8]"
Well, if you want to give a GPL-ed App Store app to someone else (i.e. distribute it), you can just drag a copy of it from iTunes onto the desktop and send that to whomever you choose. Of course, they cannot RUN the program unless you authorize their machine to use your account... but getting software (distribution) does not guarantee you are able to run it (provided "as is" and all that). If someone sent me a GPLed Android app it would do me no good since I have no device to run it on...
Slashdot Mirror
What "Flash things" do you actually need though?
So... the DEA is not a credible source for drug crime statistics since they have an agenda, too?

FTFY.

You, Sir, do not own a Mac. You cannot understand the very black hole suckitude of Flash on a Mac.
"I want Flash on my device so that I can block it!"
I like what you did there.
Why would they provide that? It is not even remotely in Apple's interest, or those of its carrier partners, to make it easy to jailbreak an iPhone.

At least France surrendered to German's Wehrmacht. The U.S. has instead surrendered to fear...
Bieber? Ugh, such a tinny word.

Arrogant dismissal of counterpoints, equating unlicensed copying with theft...
SOP then.
I guess you types are still looking away when people point out that pirates appear to buy more music/games/movies than non-pirates as well?
Indeed... *puts on sunglasses*... they would.
Yes: Apple is an American electronics hardware company or a British music label, and Orange is a British telephone operator.
To quote Dilbert: "Our customers want better products for free".
There is no advantage in disbelieving reality
Well, if reality really sucks, there can be. See Pan's Labyrinth or Life is Beautiful for examples. Or people abusing strong hallucinogens.
No, they are "just to add another difference to this CSI show in case the totally different location and actors aren't clue enough" sunglasses.
Well, certainly less than a year then.

A country so prude you can get a year in jail for kissing in public, yet so corrupt the police blatantly ignore child brothels in Kolkata.
FIX UR CNTRY. Then worry about internet domains. Kthxbye.
Oh yes, a BSD based tool must be inherently inferior to a GPLed tool. How mature of you.
The "trend" of a just married woman is that a month after wedding day she will have thirty husbands.

So the "GPLv3 is evil" myth is countered by a different paranoid myth? Wake me up the day I cannot do a
sudo port install scummvm
or the like.
Do you have any shred of proof that it is one?
