lame. I wrote my own calc routines in Fortran while doing the homework and studying for tests. The one guaranteed way to always see the possibilities of something is to do it yourself.
The third guy is worse than the other two. The fourth worse than the previous three and on and on. No good people in politics. None. Even the guy who runs for the first time as an outsider is already tainted by the process. If he doesn't break bad in the campaign, he'll do it in office.
Well, Bernie Madoff actually admitted his crime to his sons who turned him in. If Bernie Madoff had his own private security army and not essentially given him self away, they they might have called in the big guns.
Users do mean something. They represent potential revenue sources. You're correct that you do need to figure out a buisness model that does generate revenue from them inorder to survive as a buisness.They are one of several variables in an equation. You are so upset that people ( the media) pay attention to that one variable, that you discount its value too much. Classic knee jerk over reaction.
Well, yeah the software *and* the bankroll large enough to survive that kind of cut throat trading environment. Unfortunately, firefly quotes are not considered legal tender in the stock markets.
Yeah and most alchoholics work a full time job. They're still alcoholics. People who use drugs recreationally to their detriment are also addicts, druggies, what ever you'd like to call them and also come in all shapes and colors.
The point is simple. Only people who survive the products can post ratings. 0% of those killed do. That could be due to the rat poisin, heroin cut, mafia hit,suicide, "suicide", police sting operation, asteroid hit, heart attack, fatal waterballoning, spontaneous combustion, terminal cooties, or the bubonic plaugue.
Well, it would be a godsend, if it worked for non trivial programs. Every single applicaiton I've tried on react os dating back to 2002 has not worked. Its a fun hobby project that could have developed into something useful, but it just didn't work out that way.
I'm not hip on druggie lingo, I used rat posion as an example of something that would definitly kill the user. Sometimes peopel do die I hear from overly potent stuff. What one druggie can handle might kill the next depending on the cut of cocaine/ heroin/ pixie sticks/ marshmello fluff/grannie wiskers.
All of the reasons you state for the slow progress are true to some extent, but the reality is the project is really really difficult and they haven't done the best job. The win 32 api has been historically riddled with bugs, and is ever changing with every release of windows. Their target keeps shifting before they get close to their old target. Plus they actually froze the code for a year or two to make sure that their wasn't any actual windows code in their code base. I think Hurd will finish before they make it to beta. Heck Hakui went from nothing to a pretty decent beta with binary compatibility with BEOS 5 in less time, due to better documentation and a stable target.
It depends on how you define "dedicate". If you are playing for a major orchestra, you are dedicated and probably making that salary. If you are dedicated and not making that salary, then you're probably just out of college chasing your dream of being in the orchestra. That doesn't last long without either giving up or getting the gig. The level of practice necessary makes it difficult to hold down a full time job, so you either don't work or don't practice.
Yeah, I think ubuntu or fedora would be the obvious target. Fedora does a lot more upstream development with xorg, mesa, and the open source drivers. Ubuntu just always works with the binary drivers.
So either they could just be 6 mounths to a year behind on the latest xorg/mesa developments and live with that and ubuntu. Or they could prod the graphics card companies to keep up with the various linux developments. I would be in favor of fedora because it would put direct pressure on the graphics card companies to work better with the linux ecosystem.
The problem might be drivers. There have been times that the latest binary blobs are compiled against older versions of X that the distros no longer support. The result of that is the video card won't work with any of the binary drivers, and likely the game won't work as expected ( at least with nvidia).
A whole distribution that could control the xorg and kernel versions, with auto updating the binary video drivers might be an easier solution.
At some point, if you take little enough of that "android" infrastructure, you don't have that infrastructure anymore. Like the linux kernel. It is not android. Android is not a kernel. There is a kernel that android uses and Linux is its name.
WebOs is also open now, btw. As is Tizen, the new project for meego.
The fact that the linux kernel is adaptable as it is has nothing to do with android. If they use linux as a kernel, and don't use the dalvik vm or a clone of that vm, it wouldn't be anything like android and wouldn't be able to run android applications. It would be as different to android as meego or webos are.
The droid 4 is the only one that was high end at release, only availible on a single carrier. The samsung captivate glide was close, but it is not nearly as good as the Galaxy S2 varients that were availible at the same time.
I'm not familar with BES. How does one get the Key? Is it generated on the device? Is the device open source,so I can verify tha the keys are not transmited after generation? Can I buy a HSA plugin module from a third party of my choice, that ensures the key cannot be pulled from the device?

I think you're trying to argue with me. You want room 500 down the hall. This is the apathy room.
The cyber attack on Iran, or the ones in London?
Keven Rose did allright for himself by selling digg. Digg itself? Well not so much.
The instagram guy will do pretty well for himself after selling out for a billion. Instagram? Probably not.
I think by any measure they have a bright future as individuals.

What? Hipsters don't use instagram. They have phones that you probably haven't heard of and takes pictures you wouldn't understand.

Wait ... So Microsoft does *not* think its the year of the linux desktop? Well, that doesn't make any sense.

Dead men tell no tales.
Seller laced my cocaine with rat poison killed me and most of my family. Would not buy from again.

Yes, it is now GPLv2. No, it was not always GPL v2.

Yes, great advertisement for blackberry: Its the phone to use, if you don't use your phone much at all.
Andorid is not android without android. You can't simply take android and remove the Dalvik vm and still call it android. Dalvik relly is android.

They are afterthoughts for the most part.
