I can't understand why anyone would vote for that moron. On the other hand I cringed that people voted for W because they felt they could have a drink with him. I thought we were looking for presidents not drinking buddies or frat bros.
Who do you think enforces that? This has zero to do with private property for real humans, just the construct called the corporation. With its limited liability should come limited freedoms. Having limited liability and unlimited freedom just means everyone should become a corporation and start committing crimes for fun.
Corporate charters exist at the pleasure of the government. If your corporation would prefer not to have all its assets nationalized it will play along.
Perfect is the enemy of Good. The question is not is their setup perfect, but is it good. Odds are it is just the cheapest fix they could come up with.
Linux boxes don't need tweaking all the time, set it up run updates and be done with it. Sounds like Unix admin in your case means Mac Weenie.
Your iphone does not just work, send it a mime/multipart message that really only has html and text. Sure that should be mime/alternative, but either way showing nothing not even an error sure is not just working. We tested this on an iPhone 4 with all the updates and still it showed nothing, as though the email was blank.
Having to read a couple sentences means ordinary Joes are screwed?
You have one hell of a low expectation of those folks. As far as I can tell basically all of them made it through elementary school, reading is something they are quite clearly capable of.
This is not a phone, this is a computer that happens to make phone calls. Nothing just works. Things that claim to work sometimes and give no indication as to why not they do not.
Considering the alternative, which is not being able too, yeah.
I don't have to root my phone, never did. I just flashed an already rooted rom on it as soon as I got it. The netflix software is crippled, but that is netflix's fault.
Considering I am running 2.3.3 on a droid 1 and have busybox, and many other tools installed I am pretty happy.
I sure would, but they don't make me sign one of those agreements to get service. I don't like with the practice, just pointing out that short of regulation you really can't do anything about it.
This has nothing to do with android fragmentation. The app runs fine if you lie to it about what phone you have. This is very clearly a business decision.
Enjoy your crippled devices, this android user is watching netflix on an unsupported device.
Android does use the kernel, but unless you install the rest of a normal userland that is pretty much were it ends. You might be able to run this app in the emulator though.
It will not brick it. Joe Sixpack will ignore it if it is not out of the box supported. Joe has learned helplessness, he is not interested in learning. Look around you are on Slashdot, not Joe_6pack.com.
Why do you need customer consent? They normally reserve the right to manage their network as they see fit. You would need to prove this was a material change. If you were in the USA you would probably be stuck in arbitration.

Palin?
So the blind leading the blind?

Get a used Droid 1, install a normal linux userland and be on your way.
If you mean male genital mutilation, that is still quite common in the USA.
He is an anti-linux troll you idiot. His name itself is a troll.

Either way sounds like too much money.
Welcome to capitalism, charge what the market will bear or STFU.

In the grown up world everything is still done that way. How do you think apache is config-ed?
Minus the reboot of course.

So edit build.prop. Oh noes, edit a text file and reboot.

So stop being a weenie and edit build.prop.
I have an easier set of questions. Does he want government to control who marries who? What I can ingest? What women can do with their own bodies?
I am sure he will spout states rights on several. Which is just another way of him saying that he thinks the states will do his dirty work for him.

So you are going to be paying the cancelation fee for them?
A run down of exactly what distro or project had this software at whatever time would be nice.
I often type while looking at something else. I typed this whole comment while talking to someone in my office.
Cool, so you got ripped off since they promised PSN with that purchase. Go look at the box it came in if you doubt me.
