Anyone know how easy it is in NZ to get a different ISP?
Very easy.
What's the ISP market like?
Fairly competitive but still overpriced for the small data allowances you get. There's essentially one big backbone ISP (Telecom) and most of the smaller ISPs wholesale connections from them, and regulations prohibit Telecom from blocking competition.
You mean like the Galaxy Tab 10.1? It's barred from import into Australia due to Apple successfully winning an injunction against it due to patent disputes.
I doubt the "Steam hooks" are in the engine. They'd most likely be in the executable that makes use of the engine, of which the source won't be provided.
They used the Apache license for pre-3.0 and it's essentially closed source for 3.0. Their kernel modifications are about the only thing that they've GPLed.
It does? Last I checked, I used KDE's own Dolphin file browser and the Chromium browser. Can't say I've ever used or even noticed Konqueror since KDE 4 came along.
The only ugly duck in the family was Windows CE, and it's dead. Let's move on, shall we!
Really? Windows Phone 7 has Windows CE at its core, and it's live and kicking. It's also used for lots of embedded systems (what it's designed for, as opposed to crappy netbooks).
I don;t think anyone is going to seriously entertain the idea of loading {existing application} onto a Windows 8 x86 desktop, then expect to do the very same thing with the exact same install binaries on a Windows 8 ARM tablet
Why not? Apple has a way to aggregate several binaries for different architectures compiled from the same source code for years now. Of course you do have to compile separately for every platform, but why would the developer care? He just clicks "Build" in Visual Studio, and it does it all for him.
The problem is that you essentially need to write different UIs for the different form factors, which increases the amount of work for the developers. They'd more likely just write the one UI for their target platform form factor, and ignore that it doesn't work well (or at all) for the others.
It has support for both OpenCL and DirectCompute, both of which Adobe could have used instead of CUDA. While it's true that AMD GPUs won't help with Photoshop, that's not AMDs fault.
Is it that Quartz isn't open source (or Apple cooperative enough) and so Mozilla can't realistically get them to fix it in a sensible timescale?
Is it that they'd have to do this with all the vendors, which isn't feasible?
It's essentially these two. In the real world, code reuse is only practical if you have sufficient control over the code you are reusing.
It's not just about the different versions behaving differently. Even if the browsers all supposedly behave the same, they still have to put in the testing efforts to prove that the browsers behave the same with their site.
I have no idea if others can see that someone has added my profile to their circle.
The contents of circles is private. That was made quite clear while setting up the account.
That's not entirely true. You can generally see if someone has been added to someone else's circle, but you can't see which circle they have been added to.
Sure. Let's just employ an army of minions to carry these dongles around to every workstation on the corporate domain so certain Windows Updates can be applied.

Arch at least stores the hashes in the PKGBUILD files in their own repositories. I think it's MD5 rather than SHA-1.
In this case it'll likely be trademarks and copyright rather than patents.
You can hide the ribbon and add a custom toolbar that behaves somewhat similarly to Explorer from XP.
Lolcode sucks, it just sucks in a fun way :/
And you say iPad prices went up, too??
No, they were always high. Now there's just no incentive for them to come down.

It does to people who care about cooking.
While I partially agree with you to some extent, it's not always possible to do that with heavily templated code.
Changed the colo(u)r?
Is that a lame stab at the correct spelling of colour in the (non-American) English language?
You just described Diablo II (ignoring the open battle.net enhancement).
It stinks and Intel should have been busted for antitrust.
They kinda were.
I think that could be a case of kdebase-apps being a meta package that depends on Konqueror just to make sure it gets installed.
Should they not do so, then it may be reasonable to revisit the issue, but it sure doesn't explain all the patent suits based on 2.x releases.
Google's choice of copyright licensing has virtually nothing to do with patent infringement claims.
Google has GPLed Android
They used the Apache license for pre-3.0 and it's essentially closed source for 3.0. Their kernel modifications are about the only thing that they've GPLed.
and KDE entrenches Konqueror just as much
It does? Last I checked, I used KDE's own Dolphin file browser and the Chromium browser. Can't say I've ever used or even noticed Konqueror since KDE 4 came along.

Too lazy to check, but it may have been submitted many years ago and the approval only just went through.
