As this is the site eternally waiting for the "Year of Linux on the Desktop," I'd hope it's a lot more than 5%. I'm just excusing why there is less outrage HERE, not around the world.
I'm guessing most people take a glance at it, look at their rooted phones not running Sense or running a version of Sense old enough to not have HTC's "update" in it, and then they go on about their lives. I know that the version of VirtuousROM that I'm running doesn't have the apk they mention in the article on it.
As far as an equivalent iOS issue, aren't you kind of just stuck with it if it's there? I mean, you can't just trivially remove the offending package or change OS or something, can you?
He must work for the Official Organizational Body That Specializes in Unmaking Things Simple and Consice by Unwieldily Phrasing Things Not in a Way Most People Would Easily Parse. It's also known by it's acronym, OOBTSUTSCTNWMPWEP, not to be confused with OOBTSUTSCUPTNWMPWEP, which, as well all know is the acronym for Obfuscated Acronym Bureau.
If someone backs out on a contract with you, you don't just take what you have and say "oh well, we'll do with what we have." You hit them with breach of contract and get your money back. I wonder if he and the publisher had this planned from the get-go to put plausible deniability on the book.
Yeah, he's sneaky. First time I saw him, I actually had an angry rant up DEFENDING him of all the things, and then I actually stopped and reread his post and the one ripping into him and said, "Hey... wait a second..."
We ARE scared witless of terrorists. I'm personally morbidly terrified of them. I think the problem is that, if you're not in the USA, the confusion is because our media would have you believe we think they're hiding in a desert cave somewhere and not in Washington.
Depends. If the person on trial was an outright evil bastard that was prone to fits of blind rage, though they hadn't actually fully killed anyone... yet, well, yes, I probably would make an assumption that they DID murder the person in question. The person also happened to be doing it in the name of "security" that I didn't ask for and don't need put in place by a government I didn't support. Does this make me a pathetic, judgmental, opportunistic person? If so, then, frankly, I don't care. I'm human, I have faults. That's my right.
On the other hand, you're making generalizations about the way people's beliefs and motives. You're just a fucktard who condones rape. (See what I did there?) What's your excuse?
The end of the world occurred pretty much as we had predicted. Too many humans, not enough space or resources to go around. The details are trivial and pointless, the reasons, as always, purely human ones.
The earth was nearly wiped clean of life. A great cleansing, an atomic spark struck by human hands, quickly raged out of control. Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies. Continents were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the earth.
Ah, fair enough. I've never actually played around with webOS, so I didn't realize that it had some equivalent to the other standard choices, though it seems like a no-brainer once you point it out.
Yeah, but for it to work, don't you need to have some business model in place to actually make it back? The tablets aren't designed to run licensed games or anything like that. It feels like this:
1. SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING. 2. Firesale 3. Quick, now let's figure out how to monetize this.
Oh man, I actually HAD a DM one time who gave us a break and sold us potions in a (high magic setting) shop at just under cost. I got hated on by other players for pointing it out because he changed his mind afterwards. Looking at this, I'm not sure if maybe he got the idea from this as a joke and wanted to see if we'd call him out on it, or if he just didn't realize what he'd done.

Damn, wish I had mod points. This made me chuckle.
Wow. That's actually pretty interesting. I kind of figured this kind of stuff wasn't so commonplace.

World class troll, that one. World class.
Yeah.. "This sentence is a lie." would be the paradox.
It's just Gauss. Not like he misspelled Tezela's name or anything like that. Can you imagine the fanbois who'd jump such a person?
:P
What I was trying to say was "politicians are terrorists".

I think it largely is, when the device that's attached to it isn't broadcasting the data FROM the GPS via 3G radio.
Please, we're mostly American here. The best analogy is 'that dere blind pig dun gits its acorn sumthan'.
War. War never changes.

I wish I had the kool-aid you're drinking.
And yet there are so many of us who would happily throw that option away. Mind-boggling.
If I was making $150k living in STL, I would be banging 12 gram rocks like Charlie Sheen everyday. Not everywhere is as expensive as NY.

Thank you for the explanation.
I saw that movie. It was hella depressing. :(

Nah, it'll be okay, they'll just make it back in VOLUME!
Then, if it's so hopeless and unlikely, why bother?
