Or might just be you making shit up. Do you have a citation for this. Actually, perhaps I'm prepared to accept that Germans do this, but I've never heard of it (in the UK).
Yes, I'm sure their shareholders would love them to turn their backs on the millions of customers who've turned HTC into a more-or-less household name.

Why not use formula. That's what my child is getting. Am I doing something wrong? It's just for a year; cheap and easy and it's not for long that they just get formula; you can give them mashed up rice/veg, water etc after a very few months.
So what's notable here? Someone's done another OS? Someone's done one using a Microsoft language? It's good/fast/full featured/solves some problem? This site isn't Hackaday, where theres another 5 arduino projects every day, despite them being neither hacks nor interesting.

Crucially, this was not the second edition. I'm pretty sure people bought the first edition then later got the second one and just said `yeah, that one` in the survey.
I don't get this denial of the staggering outnumbering of suitably powerful smartphones and tablets by desktop pcs and laptops. Perhaps in 5,10,15 years, but at the moment the ratio is approaching a billion (regular PCs) to a few tens of millions (tablets).
That's not to say that the choice of OS is remotely important, given that much computer usage is browser/email based. I'm not sure which problem in Linux, for example (the heart of every tablet/smartphone, essentially) is solved by BeOS (or any other OS). Multitasking, file system, hardware/driver support. Done. Next?
Exactly. Google get pressed to force manufacturers to be nicer to devs/hackers but say their hands are tied cos it's all open and they can do what they like. Why would they possibly be against unlockable bootloaders? It's hardly Google that has to deal with muppets bricking their HTC (etc) phones then phoning tech support.

Hey, if that's what you've got to do to get a decent signal on one, go for it. ( If the cellphone coverage in Shenzhen is as miserable as the population themselves then I'm not at all surprised. )

Won't that just lead to an increase in people being arrested and charged - say, for 'wasting police time' or whatever - and then released and the charges dropped, just so the police won't have to pay out?
Isn't there a risk that attackers will also be able to process the data whilst it's encrypted, though. Aren't you just removing the requirement for the data to be decrypted first? How does that make anything more secure? The overhead is what makes it secure - I'd have thought that you'd consider the ability to do this as proof that you need to reconsider your encryption system.
They operate around the world, need fallover protection, protection against script kiddies, and presumably want to stress test performance improvement solutions. They probably also have development, test and preproduction versions of the about. 4000 VMs doesn't sound at all excessive to me.

It's just a shame they didn't use NetBeans, because it's Eclipse which sucks. Perhaps I've been spoiled by Visual Studio... for all the abuse Microsoft gets, at least you can do stuff like change the program counter in the IDE to re-run a piece of code.

Yeah, but breast milk stops turning up before the child can eat purely solids.

Because they didn't, until Apple started? If you don't do something, then you're the sort of company that doesn't do something.

I am. Vagina? She means vulva, right?

Why would anyone care about abuse from random anonymous idiots?

Yes. It sucks.

Yes, but you're trying to stop people who are pretending to be pilots. Terrorists might think of this, you see.
Like coke, you mean? You can just put `flavourings` and it seems to keep the various pointless government bodies happy.
Trebek: WRONG!
ME: Uh...things that have been replaced with objects which are cheaper but in every single other possible way inferior?
No amount of fixing a post referring to a Kuro7hin page is going to remove the stupid.

Shaving foam, it would appear.
Being involved with the sale of stolen property is a crime. Losing a USB key isn't.
Sorry, I lost you at `I read a blog-post`.
Give me five mins and I'll put up a blog-post somewhere stating that this is incorrect. I'll probably add some graphs too.

Slide to lock already exists in the real world. Most toilet cubicles have a lock you slide to use.
