You can read higher resolutions with atomic scopes etc, and you can create images other than with lenses, so I don't think we've hit the limit yet, unless there's something in TFA about sticking dots on quarks or something...
You don't have to do fuck all, it doesn't require any technical ability whatsoever, you take all the credit but get none of the blame, and the pay is great.
Firefox for Android (yes, on a nice new Galaxy S3 running Ice Cream Sandwich) doesn't need Flash to lock up. Luckily there's Dolphin, which (a recent, single, buggy upgrade notwithstanding) is stable and fast.
This must mean they will be available for purchase soon.*
*By purchase I mean `go online and order one for delivery in the next few days`, not select from a couple of different companies who have different prices for exactly the same goods and 'register an interest' in the hope that I'll get one in the next few months.
I was interested in one, once, but you can get a much more powerful Android phone for the same price as a Pi+ delivery+the other stuff you need to make it sensible (wifi, for instance). (Not sure how a Pi is a better choice for a budding programmer than an Android phone.)
You'd use your phone to provide wifi access to your mobile provider, so if you were on, for example, Orange, and you were lucky enough to actually get a connection, and your phone was working, you could provide wifi access to that shitty Orange connection.

No, go to the Play Store on the web, look for an app (Torch, in this case) then click on the Permissions tab:
Kind of. But we in the west benefit from cheap stuff from India and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone here who even pretends to give a shit about life over there, much less who actually does, so really it's the same for everyone.
Linux Mint 12 LXDE. Really small, fast, easy to install, doesn't have the ghastly Ubuntu colour scheme or ridiculous, ironically titled Unity interface (which has seen otherwise happy Ubuntu users leave in droves), but yet benefit from the wealth of Ubuntu-related help online.
At least the windows version comes with an installer and not source code which doesn't compile on major linux distros. I'll be sticking with quake live, thanks.
Which part - specifically that toolbar, any toolbar, or not providing large/obvious enough warnings about installing more than one piece of functionality at a time?

I thought he was perfectly clear in his intentions: He's going to use the work of someone else who also is offering the work for free but who doesn't dick him around when it comes to using it.

Give him some credit - he got the country right though - a number of events definitely occurred in the UK involving embassies or something.
If Iran/China/etc did it, they'd be disliked, but by no means universally.

Samsung is getting sued for copying the designs of the phones - rectangles with rounded corners - not iOs though.
They did the same with their phones:

Release v7 phones then announce that they won't be able to work on v8 phones.
Guess it's a bit like their close partner Nokia, with the famous Burning Platform memo:

Not ever, no, because it's a patent. Once it's expired you'll be free to use it.

You can then install (or ininstall) from the web.

>For 1-2$ tops, sure. Who's going to pay dozens of dollars for a game any longer?
FTFY. $50+ games are now over.
Would you rather have somebody working the patent office that has no patents in the area of such technologies?
FTFY
The thing about $0.99 apps `spoiling it for everybody` wasn't twattish drool of the lowest order?

What do you mean? On top of what?

No, they're not needed.
So plug in a USB memory storage device, via a USB OTG cable, on a rooted device. This is Slashdot, right - you're going to root your device?

Yes. Hoover. Not hover.
What is a `hover` and who makes them?
