not all "consumption" is passive. The GP was talking about passive consumption, but my consuming the linux kernel by putting it to work running a machine in a factory is hardly the same thing.
We have a third party and independents, until the last election we also had a fourth. These members generally reside in the senate and act as a check on the government which is decided by majority rule of the house or representatives.
Your argument seems to be predicated on the idea that I can somehow sacrifice precision for readability and give the computer an ambiguous instruction. I can't. Computers remain deterministic no matter what my coding style.
One password database for OSX and another for everything else would be peculiarly unhelpful.
Oh there are also Keepass apps available for Android and iPhone.
Keepass also does autofill/autofill asking for password, it even goes so far as to let you specify patterns for a credential to match against a window title, and lets you specify custom fill-in-sequences. (ie something other than @username@password)
All of that nonsense relies on the absurd assumption that the NBN will be some side by side competitor with the existing ADSL network. FTTN refers to running fibre lines to the very nodes where the ADSL network currently has copper, do you really believe we're going to keep maintaining the copper wires sitting next to the fibre?
I was simply using the generally accepted label, not making a point.
Property rights give a taxation right in the form of rent, and take away the right of everyone else to use that property as they wish.
You can argue for or against IP rights as a driver of innovation, but I was just trying to point out that arguing against them from some purism first principles point of view is flawed to begin with.
Kind've on-topic: You can get a third party replacement battery for the G1 that's 2300mhA and about a third thicker, comes with a replacement backplate.
Almost as closed? The Android platform itself is completely open and will run whatever you throw at it. Individual manufacturers and carriers may restrict your access to the radio/bootloader/kernel/wtfever but that's outside of the Android platform.
Not to diss your main point, which I assume is "when there is a plan and some investment and some followthrough it goes better" which is perfectly sensible
You don't need to pay extra money. You don't need to use a specific operating system. If your idea requires it you can replace and hook in to core system events. The core system is open source and so you can see how it works if required. There is no gatekeeper for distribution.
All of those things are going to go through a developers mind when deciding whether they want to develop for a system or not, and the points above are "friendlier" than the corresponding points for the iphone. The iphone on the other hand has two very strong points keeping it on top:
Market share Pretty/slick/cool in hardware and software. (This point appears to be reducing over time, see the HTC Hero and UI)
It wasn't a major system, it was a confiscated hacking forum running as a honeypot. I don't even think it was running on an AFP network. TFS is pathetic.

The Federal govt doesn't have supreme courts, the states do. As far as state law is concerned they *are* the "Supreme" court for that state.

Ah, reasonable, rational, and direct. Love it.
Have I missed something here? I'm not from the US but I'm pretty sure that you can declare bankruptcy there.

Right. No market for lemons ever existed.
The solutions to so many design problems pop into my head while I'm walking to get coffee or on my lunchbreak it's not funny.

KeepassX is a truly cross platform version of keepass. It does not run under wine and is just about indistinguishable from the windows-only keepass.
slashcode ate my example a little bit.
The fill-in sequences let you do sequences other than:
@username TAB @password ENTER

keepass is available for windows linux and osx. You can run the windows version as a standalone binary.
I keep my keyfile and db on usb key (with backups of the db strewn around all over the place), and the master password in my head
Extremely upset that I don't have points to mod you funny right now :-)
But yeah I've noticed that recently too.
What the hell?

There's a 2 (or maybe 3) strikes rule for a head-high full toss.
Also there's a limit on the number of bouncers bowled in an over for an ODI.

Property rights in general are enforced by the government, how on earth can capitalism exist without people having a right to own capital?
Intellectual property rights are just an extension of that.
Ha. I was just thinking the other day how if you turn email into waves, facebook offers little more than an old-style mailing list.

tbh I've never used the trackball on my G1. Always seemed superfluous when coupled with a responsive capacitive screen.
Vietnam wasn't official? 0_o

To be fair most works of philosophy make an attempt to define better axioms than "it's written in a book"
