* your use of the word "free" is somewhat limited. Google makes money off of users *
You've almost figured it out. But you are google's product. or, to put it in ranching terms, you are the cattle. a rancher has no obligation to the cattle even though the rancher makes money off of it. at one year they decide which animals will be culled and the unlucky beast gets a bullet to the brain. this is what google is doing to the users of certain services.
so the exchange of which you speak still obligates google for nothing.
also one will get downmodded for pointing out that google can legitimately yank its free services any time it pleases, there is no moral obligation for it to provide any thing for free or to notify anyone when such free services are cut off.
thankfully, with its biggest service, the normal search engine, the free users won't get dumped because they are not the customer but the product and as such are worth money
interesting, those rockets you did see mostly do nothing as they are unguided. most of Hezbollah's rockets are primitive. But these S-300 are a sealed and canned system, can't just break into them to arm them with something else, and change their characteristics from SAM to surface-to-surface. They *could* back up an attack with newer weapons, or be used to attack civilian aircraft by surprise. Israel is getting more anxious about the converging trends of more sophisticated missiles, larger volumes of unguided missiles (some several hundred times more than six years ago), nuclear weapons development, Russia continuing to sell arms to anyone who obstructs the US/Isael agenda in the region.
I'm busy staying current with about a dozen other technologies at the moment. Maybe another year...
what I am interested in, is the attitude of a geek/nerd in one niche assuming all other geek/nerds would have knowledge of their niche, and moreover being astounded that someone else would not be familiar with their niche. Submitting and editing stories making such assumptions lowers the quality and usefulness of a purported technical news site.
By "backdooring the binaries", I can change the operating system or any software of any system. So a system gets rooted, and bad wares can be installed. Bear shits in the woods, story at 11.
Actually, no, there are more kinds of nerds interested in a broader range of subjects than in the little world between your very closely spaced ears. Even most Android users don't change the firmware of their devices, they have better things to do with their time.
nasa.gov says only a few million years for us or anything descended from us
you make the mistake of seeing a time span for any kind of single cell extremophile life surviving, might still be possible in a billion years as the earth's temperature approaches boiling. But two and four legged land creatures will be long gone in half that time
we'd have been told what a "cyanogenmod" is by a sentence or phrase in the article. But this is slashdot, which started circling the drain long before CT left as he lost interest
that's probably the answer to the Fermi Paradox. For billions of years the earth had life, but only in the last few decades the technology that *might* have detected or made a signal to another star. In less than 350 million years, the earth will be too hot to support multicellular life due to expansion of the sun. what if every billion years or so an intelligent species arises within 10,000 light-years of any other place that has the same thing happen once at some random time over the life of the universe? they find themselves alone...
the median age of developers at my employer is about 35, ranges from 30 to over 50. they hire "older" people for the various java ee, ruby, php5 applications running the place.
Find tendency for that to be true in previous gigs at healthcare and financial corps.
being inside a Best Buy is horrible, obnoxious loud music, annoying staff, limited selection of computer and tech wares that targets a market demographic bell curve centered on teenagers
don't worry about the attractiveness of the women. after a sufficiently long time, with sperm and prostate fluid building and no private place to jack off, they'll start to look better. Gay crewmates of yours will similarly find you looking better. Meanwhile, for those poor women surrounded by ugly geeks, over time and with pent up sexual frustration, they'll consider the geeks as.....an excuse to convert to lesbianism.
They Republicans are the party of the Fat Cats, but the Democrats are the other party the Fat Cats can still have in their pockets. The Republicans make noise about freedom now just to sound relevant after the beating they took in 2012.
because the registry is so superior to text files that are easily read and changed? or configuring the windows firewall easier than iptables? enterprise windows software installation is a nightmare, I've found. And I've admined a dozen other OS, windows is the very worst.

also, people can learn from the team in the right environment. does the article's place really have a team? a coach?
it can back up an offensive strike; it can shoot down civilian craft

because various groups in Syria don't arm those that attack other nations?
Nerd != cell phone firmware diddler
I don't drink coffee
yes, I agree that's what the editors should be doing.
damn, you're right. and think of how far we could push the state of the art of nuclear weapons design with those machines.

I made the logical conclusion that will be the case in most cases. any exceptions will be too far from us to matter.

the Kindle edition is less than $50 for all 2110 pages. Note on Amazon's web page: "Due to its large file size, this book may take longer to download"
No need to create the whole book. why I've already fabricated enough relevant quotes from it on wikipedia.
