the thing is they're not THE supplier for mobile computing, i'd be surprised if google's phones are over 2% market share. maybe if microsoft made a worthwhile competitor to google services for android mobile manufacturers might actually put it on their phone.
that would be more a complaint against the nexus phones, not android, as manufacturers can put whatever defaults they want on their phones. Considering that the nexus phones are no-where near a monopoly even that would probably be a stretch.
bullshit, i'd given up getting flash working on my linux boxes until google fixed it up and built it into chrome. flash is a piece of shit, but it's worse on linux.
so, the gnome was happy to ignore their user's complaints for a year and a half, linus suddenly brings up the same issues and 3 months later we get more configurability? i don't buy it.
Gnome 3 is fine, it just has a few things that i have no interest in getting used to. really trivial things that there is no reason not to make configurable, thank christ they took their head out of their asses for 10 seconds and added them in after Linus had a go at them.
Why exactly they needed Linus Torvalds to say something before they added a couple of basic configuration options confuses the shit out of me though.
they can pretty much do exactly the same thing and the phone will most likely have a screen and more grunt, if you're not sure and you've got $40 bucks you might as well get a pi but it's just a cheapy computer, do what you want:)
don't be dumb, people buy games even though they don't morally object to piracy, and if his behaviour actually affected the company they would probably try adding lan play and removing the DRM before they just quietly went bankrupt.
heh, defence against what? he's not trying to rationalise it, he's being honest that he's stealing the game. i've stolen plenty of games for reasons from it's too expensive to i just don't want to give that company money. sure it's wrong, but having some delusions that one caring individual is somehow going to turn the world on it's head is just plain stupid.
who gives a shit about fairness? the world isn't fair, you should be aiming at keeping the field open so the rich fuckers have to keep working at it. the only thing that matters is society as a whole (and probably basic human rights).
that's the lesson, if you think you're boss is gonna do you a favour for destroying your family life when his boss is screwing down on them to cut work force... well, you're gonna have a bad time
if you work a solid 8 hours a day and get your minimum wage you're still not going to beat chinese workers. so no, i don't think if i work 2 hours a week i deserve to get paid more than starving chinese people, but i still bargain for the best deal i can get.
i kind of rolled my own and i can't really find any tutorials that i'd be happy to recommend, however there are a few here. the xbmc clients are pretty simple you just grab raspbmc (or whatever) and dump the iso on an sd card with their installer.
for the server i used the basic raspbian distro and grabbed an external 1 tb drive with a powered usb hub to power it and the pi.
i used transmission-daemon as the torrent client as the web interface is really quite good but you do need to edit a config file to get the torrents to save to the external drive (you'll probably need to give the transmission user permission to it, i just chmod 777 the folder cause i struggle with permissions in linux)
the only other thing i like is to add a cron job of transmission-remote -t all -s at 1am and transmission-remote -t all -S at 7am so it's only stealing all my bandwidth during the night (i'm pretty sure those options are right).
i just use sftp rather than samba or something to share the files with the client machines as it's a part of ssh server so it's already set up and it's a fair bit lighter than samba which kind of counts on low power hardware (also i hate windows sharing, never works well for me), however you might have to give the user permissions to your media folder on the external drive.
if you can manage all of that you're good to go
if you made it that far you might want to look into some kind of auto torrent program like couch potato which grabs the latest movies or rssdler which can grab torrents from an rss feed but these are a bit of a bitch to set up.
I realise i haven't really given enough information for a complete newbie to get this thing running but hopefully i've given you a start, i'm pretty active on the raspberry pi google plus group and the raspberry pi forums are pretty active if you have questions.

if you use it as a currency it's a currency, it's not a hoity toity term to describe government mandated units of exchange.
you can exchange it for other currencies or goods & services, how exactly is it a fake currency?
doubt it, if samsung threatened to drop android they could easily get access to that shit. they have their own appstore already, it just sucks balls.

so, since it would run like shit on any current arm system does that mean they're targeting it at no-one?

If Gnome users aren't the target audience for gnome 3 who the hell did they think was going to use it?

it also allows a standard way for it to be cracked, dvd encryption is barely even considered encryption any more
constant internet access is not a given for more than 80% of the planet.
what's virtually identical? it's still an RTS?
to be fair "it's cheaper" isn't an excuse, it's a fact.

people might put their pants on upside down so their butt is their face? maybe one example might make this comment not sound retarded.
i want the biggest screen i can get without looking like an idiot for holding it to my ear. i do all the stuff he mentioned 2 handed anyway

please, fox just lies, saying other news networks are somehow as bad is ridiculous.

while it's theoretically possible it's not really worth considering, especially when you're only giving them 4 attempts an hour.
