Texas has lots of geography. Haven't you seen a map?
I've seen more than a map; I've explored a lot of it... but while I admit that there are beautiful evergreen forests in East TX, and fairly impressive scenic vistas in West TX, most of it is little better that the humid, tornado-and-hick-ridden shithole known as Oklahoma (Q: Why doesn't Texas fall off into the Gulf? A: 'Cause Oklahoma sucks!)... and speaking of the Gulf, spare me; it's IMHO and entirely unimpressive stretch of coastline until you get far enough east (FL) or south (Yucatan)...
Sorry; I should have mentioned my awareness of the fact that Austin is indeed a mecca of "normality" (even if the rest of TX calls it weirdness), albeit one surrounded by a sea of blase Americana and mediocrity...
The same thing is happening to Austin that's happening to Boulder: they're growing tech spots that are being inevitably changed by too many enthusiastic arrivals who're coming there for "cultural reasons."
Speaking as someone who's lived all across the States (including central and west TX), all I can say is; if you have to ask, you wouldn't understand... but the answer is "Because culture and geography or specifically, a lack thereof." And, (with special thanks to all the inept English teachers who've incorrectly taught for decades that you shouldn't begin a sentence with "and" much less put a comma afterwards!), virtually anyone from anywhere in the English-speaking world who's spent any time in TX (with the possible exception of someone from the South) would immediately agree.
Have you tried TK Gapps? It's the direct successor to PA Gapps. I run Cyanogenmod with TK Gapps' "Pico Modular Package" and I'm quite pleased with it:
"This package is designed for users who want the absolute minimum GApps installation available.
In this package you will find the core Google system base, Google Play Store, Google Calendar Sync, and the following Play Store application: Google Play services"
Don't be so quick to drink the partisan Koolaid; rest assured that the 2nd Amendment is on the fascist chopping block as well (but not until T.P.T.B. can get all the mileage they can out of it, using it as a wedge issue...).
Slashdot Mirror
Guys, Dice, get it through your thick skulls: the ladies just aren't into you.
Dice, he's right you know.... but all's not lost; some of us think you look mighty cute in them jeans...
;)
Exactly. I, for one, am willing to feed these to my chickens... and it stops there. ;)
Damn ... that's a crap pile of cores
IMHO the only metrics that aren't subjective are transistor count and process tech...
There's another option. Some kind of device which spawns new humans
Perhap we could genetically-engineered a symbiotic pair of bio-organic devices that, when put together, initiate the sequence...
We could call them a "penis" and a "vagina"
It's why it was so hard to find Bin Laden
I hadn't realized they'd found the body...

This is all well and good but I have to wonder: is this thing still optimized for single-threaded performance??

Urusai, Mashiki-san.
and what Android user doesn't
I run four 3rd-party apps on my CM12.1-equipped S5 (including Waze and Square Register) and a fucking web browser isn't one of them.
Doesn't help if you can get to a fire, and not have anything to put it out...
Nor can you carry anyone... perhaps these aren't actually for firefighters?
Who exactly is spreading this (dis)information?
(Di)ce? :p
For example, there are lots of people who don't believe in leprechauns, why aren't they out there committing atrocities?
There you go again, embarrassing the idiots with simple, irrefutable logic... but don't feel too bad about it; in their heads, they're still right. ;)

And that's bad because...?

i gave up on gapps

Non-profit, open-source, privacy-aware fork.
With a non-shitty interface.
Who really expected the same or better performance at this point?
I do.
Being largely political in nature, I'm not entirely sure that this is a discussion regarding this issue requires a reasonable perspective... :p
unless they're gun rights, of course.

So, the FBI paid someone to unmask TOR users
Only until they discovered that those users were actually DEA agents...
I don't get it. This whole "H1-B is an evil scam!" moral panic seems to me to be just another aspect of the virulent anti-immigration bigotry
You got the first part right. ;)
I'm seeing ads for something called "Ashley-Madison". Are they related to Dolly-Madison cupcakes?
Too much of the latter on the part of one can definitely lead to a craving for the former on the part of the other. ;)
Is iOS simply more profitable?
Perhaps Android users aren't dumb and/or impulsive enough to fork out for crude graphics on postage stamp-sized screens.
From TFA:
This includes autonomous compliance with maritime laws
Yeah, right; it'll stop and offer assistance when other vessels send out distress calls?
