You are better off just getting swype from the developer - the beta has open for ages now, and the "stock" version that came with your device doesn't get any updates.
A first-gen android device IS underpowered for gingerbread. Even CM6 was on the heavy side on my G1 (same hardware as your myTouch). You had to be careful what apps you installed so you didn't kill performance. That's not a satisfactory experience.
But the shelf life of these devices has nothing to do with the actual capability of the hardware. From the manufacturer the problem is planned obsolescence. From a community project, support runs out when there are no volunteer developers left who think its worth the effort.
How long ago did HTC last ship an update for your phone?
It's the same from the point of view of a support engineer. But CentOS was previously unsupported, which is corporate for "yeah it might work, but you get to keep the pieces". Significant? If you care about things like vendor support from the likes of MS, I'm sure it is.
Agree? That's not what Gabe is suggesting at all. He's saying that griefers should have to pay more than the noobs they frag, as every ragequit represents lost revenue. Players who bring noobs into the game actually make money for Valve, so should be rewarded with steeper discounts. Interesting idea. But it's about game theory (heh), not MMO socialism.
Don't tell me you fell for the "don't hate the player" line. The system may well be broken, but that doesn't mean you should abuse it for personal gain.
Yes, bullies are easy to dismiss aren't they? Certainly children have never been driven to self-harm because of systematic emotional abuse. Well, except for a few momma's boys and girls of course, but who cares about them?
I agree that seeding is meaningless, but can't you make a legal distinction between somebody with a 1:1 ratio and somebody with a 1:100? Surely these are not the same level of infringement?
Even the pirates do not consider your contribution to be worthwhile until you reach 1:1. For all practical purposes you have not made anything available to anybody.
Good thing we have choice huh? You just seem to have missed the obvious. The distro usually recommended for a Ubuntu refugee is Debian (Testing). Or try Arch if you really want to customize stuff, its a lot of fun but a pretty big swing from the hand-holding you might be used to.

memes are supposed to die - and if you don't want the 'kids' to pick you for the fuzz you better quit it with the outdated jive, man.
A temporary cache that might be partially recoverable using advanced forensics under ideal contitions is "in reality no better" then a permanent.db file that can be simply copied off the device? The RDF is strong with this one.
That excuse doesn't fly with me. Why shouldn't I be allowed to buy a phone running 3.0 or a tablet running 2.3 if I want to?
Apparently this is all because the Galaxy Tab came out with a "non-tablet" OS, and Google didn't approve. I say to hell with them. It was/is an awesome device anyway.

Yeah, there are billions of tablet users. Smoke crack much?
So - if we accept that editors shouldn't actually "edit" anything - why don't we just replace them with a shell script?
Slow down there wizz kid. They are talking about CS degrees. Programming is only part of it.

So I take it you are not familiar with the 'PROTECT IP' act that your parent was referring too?
A US Great Firewall is a very real possibility. Start being concerned.

So... yet another Midnight Commander clone? :p

Dunno about Hyper-V, but you perform basically the same trick when you install a Xen Dom0 kernel in Linux.
You have an end-user oriented world view, so can't see the massive production hosting clusters for the "Cloud".

OS-independent maintenance? Application uninstalls, sure. But defrag you're on pretty thin ice, and registry clean-up?!

I just download the good stuff anyway.
Pretty sure Google gives MS the details of the exploit before starting the clock.
Hold on, are you claiming that downloading a movie isn't distribution
Indeed, UPLOADING would be distribution. Of course, the distinction may be moot for torrents, depending on one's share ratio.
They deserve whatever they can convince people to willingly pay for it. Nothing more.

They can write whatever they like, but that doesn't make it illegal. Nor do big scary letters give the MPAA power to waive your rights.
