Samsung, HTC and various carriers have already done that to a degree and that's part of why updates aren't provided in a timely manner. The Android ecosystem is a mess leaving consumers vulnerable and Google is the only org that can pull it together again. I don't envy you having to do that but the current status quo is not good enough.
The problem with Android is that even when the flaw is fixed by Google it doesn't make it onto the majority of the phones out there. That's not good enough. Microsoft would never escape criticism for ignoring flaws but for some reason Android OEMs seem to get a free pass.
How are consumers going to demand that when all the OEMs are varying levels of useless. Google has the power to pressure them to be better but doesn't seem to want to use it.
Server market gone where? They're making huge sums in their server and database division. Just because it's not what the cool kids are doing doesn't mean it's not doing well.
IBM have been overcharging for decades but these organisations show no signs of migrating because the cost and risk of rewriting these systems is vast compared to the cost of renting mainframes every year.
You'd still have the trust issue which is far more significant. You're not going to address that by calling people stupid on the Internet. The answer won't be "oh yes I must be it" will be"fuck you" and you're then even less likely to get people to listen to you.
No actually I don't. It's unacceptable that virtually no one cares that the biggest cause of death in men under 45 is suicide. Very few men have power and wealth. The rest of us just try to get by as best we can. Treating us like shit is a disgrace that will only lead to problems.
The views on nuclear power are based on how polluting it is and how difficult it is to do it safely, especially when corners are cut as at Fukushima. The opposition to GMOs is based on a completely warranted distrust of large multinationals who are well known for delivering defective products while lying about doing so. Better behaviour and transparency is what's required, not just dismissing justified suspicion as stupidity.
No it doesn't it shows his experiences of trying to get it to do what he wants. People don't just make this stuff up and dismissing them as stupid does Linux no favours. I've given up on it because I'd rather spend my free time doing something fun, rather than fighting with wpa-supplicant for the 1000th time.
You must be pretty thick if it took you two days to do that. It's a piece of piss. Linux could've taken Microsoft to the cleaners had the holy warriors been prepared to work together but instead we have fragmentation, drivers that break from version to version and now systemd. I used to love using Linux but I got sick of trying to get it to do what I want. I probably could figure out but I can't be arsed to spend hours or days dicking about with something that should just work.
The alternative is those people taking your money at gunpoint directly. They then go to prison and the government takes even more of your money at gunpoint to provide them with the education, health care and a secure place to live that the initial far lower theft at gunpoint would've provided. The thing you've missed of course is that a lot of the poor are working poor doing one or more jobs and are not lazy, just badly paid.
They don't get given student visas they have to pay $160 and satisfy a number of criteria including being accepted on a course at an accredited educational institution which won't be free.

You are a pathetic fanboi with no grasp on reality at all.
It's not the fault of the users that Google has failed to set up an ecosystem where they're protected from security flaws.
It's not the fault of the users that carriers and OEMs don't give a shit about their customers.
It's not the fault of the users that they can't buy Nexus devices in their country.
If Microsoft tried this bullshit they'd be torn a new one on here but because it's Linux under the hood it must be defended to the death.
How about months or never. The upgrade situation on Android is a joke unless you buy from Google.

Untrained or poorly trained people in charge of 2 tons of metal travelling at 90mph. What could possibly go wrong?
Nuclear waste needs to be buried deep underground in concrete bunkers. Not exactly "clean" is it.

Get a warrant and search away. It's the illegal searches and bulk collection of personal information that's the problem.

Teaching everyone to read and write offers huge advantages to individuals and society. The private sector would only teach those who could pay.
I don't understand what you mean by edge cases. Mass vaccination is an obvious public good that would never be done by profit seeking companies.
That mass vaccination and universal education - fucking government eh?
Those options aren't available on OS X?
No you don't. You just have to work in an organisation that sucks, of which there are many.

So much stupid in so few words. I'm impressed.
