Funny - my Android uses the Android RunTime - dalvik was dumped at the last upgrade. The very FIRST WORDS from your link: "Dalvik is a discontinued process virtual machine." It even says that as of Android 5.0, there is no more dalvik.
You're barking up the wrong tree. The OP had nothing to do with any tax office. And as I pointed out, you can pick up a Windows machine for free at the side of the road on garbage day (think of all those dual-core machines that we envied, now in the trash). Or pick one up at Goodwill for $25.
Next question - since this IS a complaint about filing taxes in New Jersey, New Jersey allows you to file with a Mac, so what in the world ARE you crying about? Oh, and you can still file on paper.
We had a jaguar v12 and a 79 corvette in the yard. The vette always smoked the jag. Then we did engine swaps - a chevy 350 overbored to 383 ci, roller rocker arms, headers and racing exhaust system, racing carb, locking differential, etc. Rated at 550 hp, taken from a NASCAR racer that was presented as not being overbored, so that it could run a few races before dropping the hammer. Stupid driver floored it and crashed on the first term. 0 - 135 mph in almost no time was insane, as was the heat coming through the floorboards. There was plenty of throttle left, but there was also the danger of getting airborne (paved country road with some bumps and dips). It was a fun ride.
Sure the launch decision was political - but we should also blame Powerpoint for contributing to it, with the "don't launch below this temperature" warning is really small font.
Why anyone is using a deck of badly designed slides to make a launch decision is beyond me...
Or the "if you scroll past this you have no heart", "help this person get 10,000 likes", "Like this, type Amen, and you will receive good news/money/whatever within 24 hours", the various "we have 500 xboxes/playstations/whatever to give away, share this pose and you will be entered into the draw", "can't you even check to see if it's true before posting this sh*t", and "warning: conspiracy nut on the loose" options.
The same helicopter parents who are afraid something will happen to their kid walking to or from school have no problem posting tons of pictures of where they are, what they're doing, and of course what they look like.
Of course there's no Hate or Don't Be An Idiot option. Oh no, can't have people expressing their real opinions unless they're positive. Even a Thumbs Down Dislike button would have been more of an improvement.
So then cough up the money. Not everything in life is (or even should be) free. Software is no holy exception. Read the comments - nobody gives a damn about this "special snowflake."
I wonder how many of the houses are worth less than the cost of lead pipe removal? Factor in the municipal plumbing and it's probably not worth it to keep the city alive. With northern towns that are no longer viable, the few people left are paid to leave.
Android didn't prove him right. Free software was inevitable. Call it linux, same as everyone else does. Only freetards insist on calling it gnu/linux. You don't see anyone calling it gnu/freebsd.
GPL software contains the seeds of its' own demise. Look at how crappy the revenue and profit are for RedHat with their "sell the service" model compared to the other OSes. Redhat - $1.79 billion revenue. Microsoft 93.6 billion. Apple $234 billion. Hell, even Blackberry makes twice as much.
The ones you'll find on the curb on garbage day are not coming from a corporation. Besides, they can always just buy a copy of windows, big deal. Or a windows tablet with the latest included. Or, as I said, borrow someone else's computer for a bit if you're that cheap.
Nobody except for a few whiners even cares. And they're too cheap to spend a couple hundred to get a new windows box, but they want organizations to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars changing their processes? Anyone who seriously suggested this should be fired.
I had been following the space program since I was a kid, so I had read the book that was published after the Apollo 1 fire that also pointed out other problems with NASA safety - in particular the shuttle's SRBs using o-rings and segments instead of a single-piece srb as mandated by the military, because the only way to ship the rings from the pork-barred supplier (martin-thiokol) to nasa was in pieces by barge.
I had stopped by my mother and was watching it on tv when I saw what looked like a small plume of gas coming out the side of one of the srbs, and immediately said "bet you it's a joint failure." A few seconds later, ka-boom.
The whole disaster could have been prevented if the manufacturing plant had been located close enough to the launch facility not to have required the srbs to be shipped in segments. The real disaster has always been political influence on procurement programs.
The city is being run by the Receivership Transition Advisory Board. The decision to change the water source was made under the state-appointed Emergency Manager.
You obviously didn't follow the thread. I named the Jaguar 12-cylinder as another motor that nobody wants the original internals, same as the DeLorean engine. Here - to save you clicking:
I have heard they were built so poorly that they are infamous as the only collectable car that you do not want to have original internals.
But what do you expect for a car (DeLorean) that had so much in common with a tarted-up AMC Gremlin:-)

Nobody, nowhere, said you had to use your own machine. So it's not a question of deciding security on your own personal machine now, is it?

In comparison the jag even looked crappy ...
Come off it, an early 70's era Corvette with a 454 (which can be upped to 502 cubic inches if you want to overbore) sounds sooo much better.

Nope. Has nothing to do with the desktop interface. Stallman wants kde-centric distros like OpenSUSE to be referred to as GNU/linux.

They were positing $10/month. Good luck with that.
Java byte code does NOT run on android. That's not a quibble, just an inconvenient fact.
That would be like saying you write a program in c and cross-compile it to perl, and claim that you're running c.
Java is now mostly used on large server side projects.
ever heard of Android?
Java does not, and never has, run on android.
As for the higher price tag, you also get something a lot newer, with a warranty and no problems getting parts and service. You get what you pay for.

Since when does Android run Java byte code? Oh, it doesn't.
I don't see too many programs for android that require a Java runtime.
Android does not run Java code. Please look up "cross-compiler" at your convenience.

Boats? They have engines too ... but nobody want's the v12, except as scrap metal. The Ford 4-cylinder ecoboost produces more power.
