Sure, if you can build your own mobile phone, but how much of the code in the actual Android O/S that is on handsets was contributed by the wider community?
Interesting idea, but how would you guarantee the refund? Sounds like this needs an administering body to hold the funds in trust. Also, it only works for writers who can live on other assets or income whilst writing their first book.
Android isn't really a product of the free software movement, it's a product of Google. Sure they used FOSS tools and components, but so did Apple. They are both in-house products, not community products.
Yes absolutely, I agree. Mozilla doesn't lose anything by Google having a browser and some people using Chrome rather than Firefox. Mozilla's aim should be freedom of choice in quality browser software.

That's not Baidu, that's the Great Firewall. Try it with any Chinese web site and a dodgy phrase, e.g. http://www.petrochina.com.cn/falungong and you will be locked out of that web site for a few minutes.
I think the page rank algorithm favours pages linked within the country of the search server. If not many.cn sites link to www.falundafa.org, then that site will have a low page rank on google.cn.
Capitalism was pioneered in monarchies, but not really by them. It may have been a monarch or courtier that had the original idea to set up organized trading houses, but it quickly got out of their control. It could even be said that capitalism ended the feudal system, since the barons typically failed to grasp the idea of inflation.
If Google had not gone into China in the first place, then lots of Chinese people would simply not have been very aware of Google. By going in to China, becoming popular, and then pulling out in a high-profile anti-hacking and anti-censorship announcement, I think they might well pull off a big win for public awareness in China of how their authorities are behaving. If they care, that is, plenty of educated Chinese are proud of how their government "dilligently protects them".
How would you turn a C64 or Spectrum game into a ROM? The best versions of classic games that I have come across are re-implementations with native PC graphics, emulators are not usually as slick as a decent rewrite.
"Yahoo" has a bad name, and by that I don't mean a bad reputation, literally the name "yahoo" reeks of amateur. I've never wanted to associate myself with it.
They are valid for a 30 second window, and at that point the new code is generated and the old code expires. So over the phone you would probably want to wait for a new code to be generated and then read it out so you have the full 30 seconds to get it understood and entered accurately.
This isn't a power to block a specific web site, it's a power to block a particular subscriber. So they can stop me from accessing certain internet sites, but the power doesn't let them just block everyone. I suppose they could define a web site as a "subscriber" and cut them off, but it would have to be in the UK, and then they'd learn the name "Streisand" pretty quickly.

The "ballster" picture is my favourite.

That happens for any .cn web address, try http://www.petrochina.com.cn/falungong, that isn't PetroChina blocking you, it's the Great Firewall.
What's the other LPD?
That hat's great, but it really needs a Visorganizer stuck on it.

You're blocking the signal by absorbing large amounts of it. A shared resource should be shared, and not abused.

Develop the game, release under an open license.
Hard to make any money that way. I assume by "indie game developer", he's trying to make a living out of it.
Hey, I like playing re-makes of classic games, like Thrust Deluxe, OOlite, etc.

However, flying toasters are coming back into fashion again.
I've had codes rejected within a second of the next code appearing on the authenticator.

Don't be silly, it's only €300,000 - no-one's going to put Google out of business in their country over a copyright infringement.

Does that apply in patent cases?
Yes, Friend and Ignore lists are expanded and can include other realm characters.
