IIRC, x86 computers were far more expensive as a percentage of income than these new tablets, and yet free software found plenty of room to thrive. You should Google this 'Linus Torvalds' guy. He wrote some big bit of free software one time.
I'm also not sure why free software would have trouble? Isn't GPL v3 software compatible with Google's marketplace? I own solely iOS devices, so I'm not 100% sure. In addition, there is no developer fee. Seems like Free (and free) software should proliferate on the platform.
Locked down platform? Any vendor would have to have a market or app store comparable in many ways to those already in place by Apple and Google. Otherwise, why buy that tablet?
Yeah, I guess I could RTFA, but this summary in no way makes me want to read it. Was this picked by Soulskill or voted up in the firehose?
One cannot mention pertussis without also mentioning the Jenny McCarthy Body Count. (Also valid for diphtheria, measles, etc, etc.)

It appears you are saying the Dutch voted No in a referendum, but the government signed the same thing, differently worded, and yet you call the OP a stooge.
I still laugh at the so called occupier idiots that protest the rich CEO's (well unless it's Steve Jobs/Apple) and banks. They should really be marching in Washington.
They were. Way to stay informed, average American voter.
For the record: I am atheist/agnostic (depending on your definition), buy I still attend Church somewhat regularly because my mother-in-law is a devout believer and invites us to go with her. In the interest of family harmony, I oblige.
Weak willed moron, who doesn't have any understand what the words of the Christ are about, talks high and might about how stupid he is. No wonder you are an atheist, just about everything else would've required you to make a choice.
A great poet-philosopher once said "if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
How many terms has Bloomberg had as mayor? IIRC, you had to change your city charter (or some equivalent) to let him run for his current term.
Seems to me that while this particular policy may, may be unpopular, he is not. I pretty much stated in another comment that some people just aren't comfortable without the jackboot of authority resting lovingly on their backs.
To many in America, New York City seems to have increasingly accepted that way of thinking since Dinkins, at least.
More like several people dying. One of these people is going to get stopped for a pat down, but he'll have a freaking bomb strapped on. News at 11. Maybe...
After 10 years of trying in NYC without a hit, you'll forgive me if I don't bet on the chances of it happening any time soon.
I think the parent to your post was saying that while there is a right to post video of the cops, the cops have no right to post pictures and whatnot of you. I'll admit it's more than a little vague, since the parent to THAT post mentioned a few things, any one of which could have been what 'False' was in response to.
The police are authorized to use violence on my behalf. To kill if necessary. If they're killing or causing harm to another person for me or in my name, I expect them to meet certain standards of behaviour. Creating and continuing the 'us vs. them' mentality is not conducive to that.

Typical monarchist.
my mom's knees were beginning to give out, so I started having go get my own snacks.
I bought your mom a pair of pads. Not my fault her knees gave out.
The best solution for that is to stay in the basement.
Mom! More hot pockets!
I was with you for a bit, but notice you forgot the fine print: "but what if the horse is the famous Mr. Ed?"
Considering Atlanta traffic, a nightmare would be a distinct improvement (spoken by someone who lives in the DC metro area).
True. He is center-right, or a "moderate" if you prefer.
That's a European term. In the US, we call that 'godless, heathen communist'.

What the heck is there to "appreciate" with the "classic American floating cloud" suspension?
A 600 mile day across some of America's 'quality' highways should answer that question.
If American can change the name of everything why the rest of the world can't?
I have heard 'Estados Unidos' (sp?) more than once on Univision.
Dude - seriously, "whoosh!"
Besides, I use fread() straight off the network card to get all my website content. Doesn't everybody?
I hook a flashlight to the fiber link and click it on and off really fast. Network cards are for amateurs.
Parent AC probably thinks Patton was irrational because he slapped a deserter and threatened to shoot him.
That might well happen if you get home at five o'clock, and take yourself out a nice cold beer.
Is that why you're wondering why there's nothing going down here?

You keep using US terminology.
We're discussing an American problem on an American blog. What did you expect?
No we are discussing a UK Ruling. SO either now thy shit or shut the fuck off.
Isn't there a Duke or Lord somewhere to whom you should be curtseying?
It was actually a magic missile! They were attacking the darkness!
So... It's a kind of magic?
"scientific investigations" have shown that tuning a shoe can improve performance as much as 3.5% and that he (luc fusaro) is still tuning his shoe...
Hmmm.... So tuning both shoes would result in a 7% increase in performance, right?
Are you kidding? a 3.5% improvement would cut hours off of my 100 yard dash times.
In fact, "we" didn't change the city charter - the city council did in a 29-22 vote, and Bloomberg himself signed it into law.
That's how things work in a republic. If Europeans get to blame me for eight years of Bush, I can blame New Yorkers for Bloomberg.
Your belief about the "jackboot of authority" isn't just patronizing, it's an oversimplification.
What the heck, NYC has been looking down on the rest of the US for 300 years, a little criticism the other way is occasionally warranted.
A great poet-philosopher once said "if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
What about if you haven't chosen not to decide, but your lack of decision is instead due to intellectual inertia?
I don't know about that. I'm more a Red Barchetta fan myself.
