If, by throwing money at a problem, one can find a solution which stifles dissent against the ruling classes then you are wrong - it IS inevitable. There is *nothing* which is not an option for investigation and ultimately deployment. There'll be rules limiting this or that usage, and those rules will be ignored, and there's nothing you can do about it whilst the current methodology for running a country exists.
No, all the other countries - the ones who are publicly condemning the US but secretly working with them and/or sharing their information - are too scared of the US to let him in.
I've had bosses who've not been developers for 14+ years. No clue about OOP, TDD, distributed source control, sql injection, modern IDEs, modern UIs..... I suspect the Peter Principle is at work here; also in the people above them.

You're fucking joking. Samsung made noises about "the community" but then did nothing to help Cyanogenmod, to the extent that pretty much all the developers gave up on porting CM to the Exynos versions of the S3. The Exynos is a case in point - Samsung refuse point blank in handing over any docs/source, which means the Exynos version of CM sucks compared to the Qualcomm version.
In terms of updates - it's now August 2013; Android 4.2 source was released last October, 4.3 recently, so guess which version of Android this "flagship" product is running? That's right - 4.1. They've promised 4.2 several times and each time they miss it. As soon as it turns up people are going to go "Huh? 4.2?".
No. The UK government is working with the American government. I suspect most of them are. In public they have to act angry because many people are angry about it; it's illegal/immoral, and no-one asked for it. Privately they're either helping (favour for a favour) or benefitting from it, although a lot of politicians will be against it themselves, but having to go along with it because it's their own secret security services who are involved with only the knowledge of a handful of politicians at the top. Not easy to spin this to the public.
But Firefox is faster than chrome on desktop and android, the syncing works better, it's far more fully featured, nothing touches Firebug for development, etc. Yeah, I used phoenix too. I was temporarily swayed by the speed of chrome but they're all fast enough now.
Yes, the current cost is meaningless. I once had a £60,000 keyring. It was a prototype graphics chip - a one off, produced for testing. We had a few more made, each time with a few mods, before the button was pressed for mass production, at which point you could buy the whole graphics card for about £70 or so. That initial £60,000 it cost to tool up for each prototype was just a meaningless number - they were never going to be made individually so you have to factor it into the overall cost/profit formula later on. If synthetic meat catches on - and it's completely, totally obvious that it will (because at some point soon the choice will be synthetic meat or no meat at all) - the cost will rapidly undercut the cost of raising livestock.
Slashdot mobile is a crock of shit. What's that read icon at the top left with the 1 in it? I click on it and I get a random selection of messages going back a year. The box containing them doesn't fit on the page, so I scroll the page and immediately the box vanishes. What a joke.

Just kidding. Nobody goes there anymore. I mean Reddit.

That's why I prefer android - I don't care what Google or anyone else thinks of people's apps. It's none if their business.
They're free; it doesn't matter; the most popular one, so the lists is uses are kept up to date; they aren't advertised.
Aren't we all?

Yes it is!

They're 1) Americans, in 2) a Muslim country. Double repression.
Probably safer to ship their partners over for conjugal visits, than go native.

I deal with cowboys and indians. The indians are usually indians. Sometimes the cowboys are indians also. It's a lose-lose situation.

Nothing's going to change out of all this.
Does BBRY sell elliptic curve technologies then?

No, that's what lawyers are for.
Why would that requirement suggest it's an insecure solution?

That wasn't his goal. He gave interviews. He was perfectly clear.

No, it will take as long as it takes to bite it and taste it. You'll be able to make a snap judgement immediately.
Why don't you just use c# instead?
I can has pedantz?
More like:
"With 4.3 just released, when are last years flagship models such as the S3 going to get 4.2, which came out nearly a year ago?"
and
"Why don't you release source/docs on your Exynos chip so Cyanogenmod can release CM10.1 for the recent phones?"
