Dude, nobody cares what OS you use. If configuring your OS is so painful that you want to go and use a different OS (which either doesn't let you configure it as easily, or which comes with a slightly different selection of applications, then I think you should follow your dream.
Technology will catch up; eventually you'll be able to scan photos for your face, and then, laws permitting, commence with a 'pay up or take it down' action.
Let's hope it's not a body which spends a lot of time playing golf, having lunches, enjoying yachts etc which belong to, or are paid for by, anyone who could be described as having vested interests in this regard.
Existing sensors typically* record one colour of light - they just have filters over them. That's why you have to take megapixel counts with a grain of salt; there may be 9 megapixels, but they're divided into r/g/b components and then interpolated into a fuzzy image which is then sharpened in software to make up for all the f**king about.
*yeah, they don't all do it - just the ones everyone actually uses.

Why? Why can't someone get fired for a stupid reason not have a laugh at their expense. I'd buy the guy the drink and have a laugh about it; says nothing about his ability to develop/fix problems etc.

Uh.. which claims pan out? Come to that, which claims from anyone pan out? Seems to be that all predictions of the future are wrong; either they are absurd, or trivial, and even the trivial ones are wrong in terms of the delivery date.
Also, i'm intrigued to know what can't get translated into another language. There's no word for the nouns/verbs involved, perhaps?
I'm in the UK - the US is offshore, although I'm not sure I'd consider them now if the goverment bodies can flash a badge/gun and start ripping out boxes. If you're happy that this sort of behaviour is the 'cost of doing business' you might as well go even cheaper and host in Iran or something.
In the UK those children have the legal right to track down their 'parents'. Saying 'fuck off - I want nothing to do with you' dozens of times is going to get really boring.
To be honest, this sort of discussion doesn't really sit very well on this site, but if it's instead of another 'article' about Bitcoin then I guess it won't hurt.

Each person gets to chose for himself. You're making the same choice by trying to legally prevent it. If someone is suffering and wants to kill themselves, it doesn't have anything to do with anybody else.
No, and you have to double-right-click on links to open them. Huh? And you need to devote a whole row of screen space to get a single bookmark icon. Huh?
When that happens, *they* (the rich/powerful/police etc) will have all the guns/food, control of all purchases/transport/employment etc. And you'll be utterly fucked.
No, I repeat what I said - no-one wants to use Office on their phone. You can see this when you see how few months it took Android to outsell Windows Mobile (which had been out for like a decade or something).
Maybe but who cares? It's not the retailers job to flog a shitty platform no-one wants (or asked for). The ads in the UK try and make the ability to use Office outside the office a selling point. Who the fuck wants to use Microsoft Office on their phone? Precisely no-one at all. They just don't get why people use smartphones.
> And yes, I fully expected to be modded down for just using Silverlight to make anything.
Perhaps, although not at the moment. But you have chosen to plump for a non-standard; you can hardly complain when you're inconvenienced because of the fickle whims of one company. That's the whole reason standards exist, of course.

"not guilty", not "innocent".

I prefer gold, that's much safer. I mean, Euros...uh dollars....pounds sterling? Carrots?

Have you read the license? Not GPL, Apache etc. Not really open source, although the source is available.

Not open source. Do keep up.
Unfortunate loss of $20 of pretend money. Boo hoo.
Anyone who takes zero steps to protect $500,000 of real money doesn't deserve it.
Sounds a bit dull to me. Some things just don't translate that well to a computer monitor.

Heh! He must be from America, where everyone is too fat to walk. Hey, this generalisation business is easy, isn't it?!

That rule applies to more than just spam; everything, from Walmart to China...(or vice versa, in fact).
He is not to be having a very good time goodday to you sir.
