1. There's the version of Android maintained by the AOSP that is fully open source.
2. Then there's the version of Android that Google releases exclusively for its Nexus line of devices. Although it contains some codes common with the open source, AOSP, codes, it also contains some closed source features like Photosphere. Note that Photosphere is not merely an additional application, but Google is marketing is as a part of Android 4.2 released for the Nexus devices. Since Photosphere is closed source, thus this version of Android cannot be said to be open source.
So, if someone says that Android is open source, he's correct. But if someone else says Android is not open source, he's also correct. They're just talking about different Androids.
From Play Store, you can go to "My Orders and Settings", then go to the Settings tab, and you can just uncheck the devices you no longer own. Then those devices will no longer appear anywhere else in the Play Store. Or do you mean you don't even want those devices to appear in the Settings tab? Of course, there's no way to do that now, but I don't see why having the old devices listed would be a problem for you. It's just a list.
So you're saying is that evolution is a totally useless theory. Oh. that's not what you're saying? So tell me, how does knowing the theory of evolution change any of your decisions today, tomorrow or any time in the future? In my book, if it does not make a prediction that can be proven, then it's useless.
That's not a prediction. That's a proposition. Prediction is about estimating a future event. DNA already existed at the time, it's just that Darwin didn't know about it. So Darwin made a proposition, not a prediction.
We often get stories like this where some scientists make some observation and declare that that was due to evolution. If evolution is such a great theory, how about someone come up with a prediction for once, as in something like, "Due to these conditions, this so-and-so life form will eventually evolve to have such-and-such appurtenances with such-and-such characteristics". Anybody up for the challenge?
I'm a Muslim, but I've never planned to bomb a plane. Am I doing something wrong?
That depends how you define wrong. If you mean as a decent human being then no. If you mean by not following your scriptures as interpreted by many Imams and practiced by tousands then yes.
Just to be quite clear I am not saying that you should plan to bomb a plane. I am saying that Islam is a (literally) abysmal religion that calls good evil, and wrong right.
Your words; "practiced by tousands" (sic). So you believe thousands of Muslims who commit violence represent true Islamic teachings, while the billions who don't are not. I wonder where you learn your logic.
I'm a bit confused by Kubuntu's announcement. The link on http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.10 points to the kde announcement on 4.10-RC3. I suppose it's a mistake?
That's not mystifying at all. I would think illegal hotels would be a problem in most countries, not least due to inability of the government to collect taxes on the room rentals.
If this characteristics is advantageous to the survival of the species, according to evolution we should be seeing it on more than one strain of fireflies, shouldn't we?
You can sue for copyright for something other than infringing. I've seen them sue for failing to distribute source in violation of the license, but that's not infringing.
The closer you get from the "source" is with the Q'ran because it was never translated - however it was written from memory by followers of Muhammad so if this was a CSI episode one would have to admit that the chain of evidence is somehow broken.
Not quite. The verses of the Quran was in fact transcribed word for word during the time of Muhammad. It was later compiled and the script standardised after Muhammad's death.

The page clearly says that Photo Sphere is a feature of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
Same sex couples are abominations and should be taken out of consideration.
There's Android and there's Android.

I think Burpmaster was referring to the fact that in the Qur'an, the earth is said to be flat.
Bullshit. The Qur'an says no such thing.
What's an Athlon XP 6000? Athlon XP only goes up to 3200+, doesn't it?

I just hope that it isn't Muslims practising to bring down another aircraft
So you're saying that if it were Christians practising to bring down an aircraft, it would be okay?
What if they unconsciously want to appear in it?
Huh?
I believe evolution is why we have the diverse life around us.
No. Evolution explains how we have the diverse life around us; It does not explain why.

No, MS Office is not extremely stable on Wine. For example, check out the AppDB for MS Word here:

Infringing: 1. Actively break the terms of (a law, agreement, etc.): "infringe a copyright".

Because it's just south of Belize. It's not that he was feeling to Guatemala but that he was fleeing from Belize.
