Excuse me it is at least a little on topic, a phone get's upgraded to a new version and it's apparently news. So I ask a question related to phones being upgraded. Thanks for the reply, I'll uninstall the 2.0 version I just installed and go back to 1.6.
I use Mac OS because it's cool and I like to use it. I use Windows cause it pays the bills. I use Linux because it's a neat hacker OS and it's cool too. But Windows still pays the bills. I'm working on fixing that but until we switch I'm stuck.
Ok I'm about to start Android development, what version should I develop for? There seem to be about 4 different versions of the SDK? Are all the phones at 2.1 now?
Fine leave. No one is stopping you. If the so called asshole owns the process and makes the bread, I bet he can charge what he likes for it. That's called a free market idiot not communism. In a communism the government owns the bread and you pay for it with labor. In a free market if the corporation can pay more for the congressman than you can he gets his vote. If you weren't anonymous it would be worth giving you a piece of my mind to try raising your IQ up to a level where you might understand me when I told you what I though of you!
It is not quite that black and white.
yes it is.
your example is bullshit. you claim that stealing from the MPAA harms them thus making them want to charge less. Sounds like having your cake and eating it too. On that basis I could justify perpetual motion's existence. You are a moron!
by taking what you are not entitled to, you remove the ability of the person that created/marketed it to buy their own bread. And why would that be? Can you justify this rule?
yes it has been in common law for centuries. If you don't pay for the goods you don't get them. Simple.
The harm is that instead of creating a market so that other people that might be interested can view it you have removed the incentive for them ever to bother to allow anyone else to enjoy it.
the difference is that with stealing you are depriving someone of property, with sharing you are depriving someone of the money they should have gotten with which they could have bought property. In the end you are stealing value, property or not.
We have to wait and see if they actually change their business model to fit the facts. If they don't it's just like DEC right around the time of the processor they designed.
I really love all the people that say they only pirate stuff 'cause the cost isn't reasonable. Yeah, if I'm broke and I need a loaf of bread then any price is unreasonable so I'm justified in stealing it. Screw you, pay the 2 bucks assholes. And to the guys that say that they wouldn't have been customers anyway so they are justified in taking it I don't get how that works either. If it costs more than you want to pay then you don't get to have it. Simple. If you wouldn't have bought it anyway then you still don't get to have it.
it's really simple and I don't get why you can't grasp this concept.
The Christian certainty that theirs is the only morality and their certainty that we all really want to be moral by their standards drives them to commit atrocities that they would rail against if it were perpetrated by another religion.
Almost every state allows handgun hunting, and many people legally engage in the sport every year. Then I stand corrected.
This does not negate my argument.
Handguns were developed for a specific purpose. That being that they were close to hand. The only reason for having a gun close to hand is defense from a large carnivorous animal or a similarly armed animal. They are handy on horseback which is not as big a concern since the development of carbine rifles. But they are easy to conceal, fast to use and therefore far more dangerous today than useful. They should be phased out of existence now as we have civilization to handle what they were intended for.
The most tragic mistake people make is failing to note that the "purpose" of a handgun is to kill another person or use the treat of such to defend one's self. They are not really useful for hunting though they occasionally get misused for such and the only reason to use them for target shooting is that they exist. Most states outlaw the use of a pistol or other handgun for hunting because they are far more likely to would big game than kill it and that as any hunter knows is tragic not helpful.
The second amendment says weapons, and weapons they are so the right to bear them must not be infringed, but the right to own them should be earned not assumed.

Sorry a marked drivel count and high stupidity factor in your reply turned off the intelligent reply circuit. My bad.

yes it is.

yes it has been in common law for centuries. If you don't pay for the goods you don't get them. Simple.
Um sorry bullshit!

Lol, man that was good. Your troll get's modded insightful and your insightful comment gets a redundant. I get a funny. Everybody wins!
More like MS is the next DEC
I disagree you are trolling big time. Since I disagree with you it is obvious that you are trolling!
I can: open but convoluted = Little money
Closed but usable = Big money
But how do you make money from the Android side.

You are deluded if you think otherwise. I doubt they are blocking political web sites that advocate anything other than New Zealand political values.
I see the gun lobby has invaded slashdot in force.

I'll second that. Tried the Droid, G1 and Nexus One, and still prefer my iPhone 3G.

Teaching a three year old about guns is like teaching a pig about hygiene. They might see the need but are incapable of understanding the concepts.
