    Looks neat but way under-specced. My droid beats that thing.

    Ignoring 14% of your customers is a pretty stupid move.

    Web servers are predominately linux boxes these days, have been for more than 10 years probably.

    If you lower the total each year it could actually even work.

    Actually the solar panels do pay back their investment just fine. Takes about 8-10 years. Stop with the FUD already.

    We did just that with SOx emissions and it worked. Mind you they also reduced the total allowable each year. Also the only people who could sell credits were those who were reducing their own emissions compared to past years.

    More secure?

    You can tap an analog phone line with stuff you find a radio shack.

    Yes, yes I do. It is my grownup way of sticking it to the man. Also I would pay now where near 18% on any CC I hold.

    This is why BSD was not used. Without the GPL forcing peoples hands BSD has no where near the hardware support no use in embedded platforms.

    They have to kexec into another kernel. They are not replacing the base OS.

    Write their own OS? It is Next.
    Design their own chip? It is a fucking A8 from cortex like everyone else. Their product is not unique either.

    No, it speaks AT commands to the cellular modem. The cellular modem is what is in charge of that stuff and no AT commands would let you do such a thing.

    Stop spreading FUD.

    That you can get a Nexus and have the open experience. No iPhone model like that.

  14. Re:Dumbfounded...... Can anyone explain? on Motorola Sticks To Guns On Locking Down Android · · Score: 2

    That is exactly how it works. Android has no functionality to do anything else. My android phone is no different than my linux laptop with a USB cellular modem in this respect.

    Good point.

    It also means I will be quite happy to replace my original Droid(easy to flash, running CM6 now, installing CM7 nightly later) with a Nexus.

    Get another phone that is supported by CM. I will be installing gingerbread a little later tonight, CM7 nightly.

    Which probably means paying 10 times as much to buy a device that you can't use with actual service or something like that.

    Android is an OS you can go download right now. No matter what moto does that is not changed. These are their phones that are like this not the OS.

    I hope Nokia eventually releases something to replace the N900, I will be getting that or a Nexus for my next phone. It seems the Droid 1 was the last decent phone Motorola wanted to release.

    Stop, just shutup. This cannot happen. The OS just talks AT commands to the cellular modem. It can't do any magic bad stuff.

    This is FUD you heard, no reason to go spreading it.

    So then why do they release the Nexus line of phones that are the most open smartphones on the market?

    There are something like a million downloads of cyanogen mod. Even if that is the same folks downloading each release you are still looking at hundreds of thousands. That is one ROM, not all of them.

  22. Re:migamix on Motorola Sticks To Guns On Locking Down Android · · Score: 1

    No. The whole point is to force you to buy a new one. Next time do a little research before buying a smartphone.

    You don't have a real custom rom, you are using kexec if you even run a non-stock kernel.

    or maybe just buy a Nexus S.

    Fuck them, they are dumb pipes and should not have a hand in what is on my phone. If they want to sell me 5GB of data they should have no say in what device I use it on or how I use it.

  25. Re:Motorola Xoom on Motorola Sticks To Guns On Locking Down Android · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with root.

    This has to do with loading another OS via the bootloader. Your Milestone is locked down the same way.
