I would wait until there is a second device running Tizen before I would consider it a viable solution. Given the history of the people behind Tizen, I suspect they will announce a reorganization of the project around the time a phone is first released with the OS. Maybe a rename while they're at it.
Like any piracy, there isn't any theft (piracy isn't theft unless you somehow take someone elses copy of them) , but unlike regular piracy, there isn't even an oportunity lost. There can be no lost transaction when the publisher *cant* make a transaction in the first place.
Its literally victimless in all known senses.
I take it you feel the same about companies that take GPL code and distribute it without providing the source?
Don't get laid? How many girls has Leonard bedded? Howard has a girlfriend. Even a guy who is mute like Raj has bedded at least two girls over the last few years...
If you ask some people if something is right or wrong they will reply that it depends on the situation and other factors. The idea that things can be just plain wrong in all cases is seen by some in society as outmoded and not keeping up with the times.
So, do you know what's wrong and right? What does your Bible say about slavery? Letting women talk in a gathering? How about wearing clothes that are mixed with wool and linen? How about sending your wife and daughter out to get raped and killed?
And before you say the NT invalidates OT, remember Jesus said: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." (Matthew 5:17.)
"morally reprehensible (like socialism)." What's morally reprehensible about socialism?
Well, you know, kids sharing toys instead of charging for their use. Next thing you know, they'll smoke dope and listen to rap. All because their teachers want them to behave and share their toys...
Of course you are correct, and the Bible itself mentions wisdom as a thing to be desired in a number of passages. People who believe in God and that God created the world could only please God by trying to learn more about the world.
The bible also teach that God kicked Adam and Eve out of Paradise for eating from the tree of knowledge. Apparently, He doesn't like us to get too knowledgeable. Seems like the Christian Fundamentalists got it right...
My statement was more about the fact that a political party has youth camps on an isolated island. Seems shady.
Why? All the political parties in Norway have a youth branch that do summer camps. Norway is filled with islands. This particular island has been the summer camp place for the Labour party at least since the 80s (current Prime Minister went to summer camp there in his youth).
I visited the US last year for two weeks (and going back this summer for three weeks), and I say, don't bother. You won't be using the phone as much as you think. If you are disciplined.
I try not to use my phone browsing unless I was on a wireless, which meant at the hotel or other hotspots. Fine, so sms cost $0.75, but I didn't send that many messages anyway (send email while at the hotel where you are going to meet your friends, then one sms if they were late). Probably didn't send more than 10 during my stay last year. Only thing was the map, maybe. But I got a Nokia, which meant I just pre-downloaded the map when I was on the wireless, and then tried to only use gps (no gsm). Not sure if iPhone has something similar.
don't all those companies that Amazon competes against elso provides jobs to workers who "in turn pay income taxes and sales taxes (when they purchase goods and services) which pay for the roads and infrastructure"?
iPhones contain the long/lat of the place where the picture was taken. That's a little bit more than "letters have post marks and tell what town the sender lives in!".
Any company that engages in significant patent lawsuits for cash settlements (not patent portfolio license exchanges) should be classed a patent troll.
Nah, still too strict. How about anybody Slashdotters don't like who also holds any patens are patent troll?
Actually, it does have something to do with it. When a woman takes parental leave, she goes on the bottom of the list to move up. And like it or not, women almost always get stuck with making sure the kids get to school, go to the doctor, etc. so she is usually the one who has to leave work early or miss an entire day on short notice, further putting her on bottom of the promotion list. When kids are sick, day care will NOT accept them (fever = no acceptance). Well shit, kids get sick all the time, and it is almost always mom that stays home with them, not dad. Who has to pick the kids up at school or day care? Mom usually gets that task.
In the US. In Norway, the fathers in my company is home just as often as the mothers.
And when a woman takes off for 2 to 3 months, PAID, it does hurt the perception of her in the workplace.
In Norway, fathers get 10 weeks paternity leave. He also gets 2 weeks leave just after the birth to take care of the mother and child (not counted towards the paternity leave).
There are still more men than women in IT in Norway.

Well, according to Fox News, that means it's not a democracy, and if it's not a democracy, does it really matter?

And if the CEO of RedHat didn't travel to Munich to convince the city to convert to RedHat, he's an idiot.
It's creation science (one of the previous words don't belong)...

You forgot iPhone and iPad. Actually, if it's from Apple, then /. will predict failure.
Don't you know, stuff I want wants to be free!!
Or maybe he has, and thought that was the world he wants to live in?
Why would it? They're barely able to meet demand for iPads at the current price point, why would they make it cheaper?

'may have been' another piece of MS-sponsored FUD?
Of course, since everybody here knows Linux systems do not get attacked

They got the idea from GNU and Emacs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs
Electricity wants to be free!
Letters usually have the sender's address.

Oh come on, everybody knows dolphins are just gay sharks
Did the Chinese get the idea from Mad Men?
