My post was not a gibe at his grammar. My point was, why is he asking about recompiling and flashing from the source code when it had not even been released yet?
You don't happen to live in "the Land of the Free", do you? Here in the "Third World", most major manufacturer including HP, Acer, and IBM have an offering of Linux compatible, Windows-free laptops.
Android is different because Google is making money out of it. Most open source projects are released for free, so if users have bad experience with it and stop using it, there's no real impact to the developers. On the other hand, if people use half-baked releases of Android and have bad experience, they might switch to other platforms and Google would lose out in terms of profit.
Why are your questions in the present tense? The source code hasn't been released yet, so you should pose your questions in the future tense. Try again.
Renminbi is the name of the currency. Yuan is the unit of account.
Illustration:
Person 1: I'm broke. can you spare me some renminbi?
Person 2: Sure, here's 500 yuan.
So how hard is it to PDF the decision and upload it somewhere?
As hard as ignoring the legal fraternity lobby who would rather people pay them to look up information in legal documents rather than download it for free from the net.
You missed Samsung. To be honest, I don't know about their other phones, and am not bother to look the info up, but the Galaxy S II I recently bought had the bootloader unlocked out of the box.
people have to pay for Windows because Windows runs the applications that people have to use.

I recenty bought a laptop for my wife and initially intended to pass over Windows and install a distribution of linux on it. However, turned out that she needed to run MS Access on it for work. Since MS Access doesn't work in Wine, I had to shell out the equivalent of 50 USD for a license of Windows 7 Home Premium just so she can use that one piece of software.
He's not wrong, from a certain POV. He said 'common', not 'abundant'. One definition of common is 'most familiar'. In fact, as I look around from where I sit, most of the stuff I see are made from carbon-based materials - papers, plastics, fabric, wood. So, in a sense, carbon is the most common i.e. familiar.
Repeat Scenario 1, but this time with MS Wordpad instead of MS Word. You'll find no trouble renaming the file while it's still "open". As some posters have pointed out, Windows is not the issue, it's applications like MS Word.
There was actually a very good reason for that. In the old days, applications didn't have access to a lot of memory, so certain apps couldn't load the whole file into memory and had to view/edit it on-the-fly. Of course, nowadays, this is no longer an issue, but I guess some developers just got stuck with the old paradigm.

Minor detail: id Software, as well as Bethesda Softworks, is owned by Zenimax Media. In other words, id and Bethesda are sister companies.
Now please mod me informative.
Or you could just use the proper spelling for "masturbate", which, ironically, is not in the list.

For instance, they supported the Taliban (see Rambo 3, the movie, for details).
Seriously? You're using movies for factual references?

Too many cores spoil the broth.
... all their games are free, ...
Huh? Weren't they selling the app on the App Store before it got pulled?
Shouldn't they be optimising the chips to run Android, instead of the other way around?
Are there p2p software that can prioritise domestic traffic over international traffic?
No. Android runs dalvik code, not Java.
What 'same usage pattern'? The N79 doesn't have a touch screen.
I'm pretty sure GPS also gives out altitude information.
BTW, I should point out that I don't give a damn about Netflix or whatever else software you Americans use that no one else give a damn about.

From what I understand from TFA, the celebs don't have to pay to get on the list, so no one's making money out of this.

Strange, they usually they come as parts of a package. Tat
