Gentlemen, to clear up the terminology confusion, I suggest to: - call the kernel "Linux" - call the kernel + GNU userland GNU/Linux - call the linux based Google's operating system Android/Linux
The reason nobody else came up with this classification before is beyond me.
Blackberry had the wrong business model, we are in the new millennium. Wrong business model: concentrate on the product. Right business model: give free or cheap stuff away and collect users' data in return.
Instead of the highest bidder, why not making all infrastructure accessible, with cost associated to traffic and bonuses for the amount of work done on the infrastructure itself? Big players can stay big leveraging the amount of work done, little players can pop up everywhere, every hotspot can be configured to offer guest access, so airwaves are used for those actually travelling, all the rest get wifi to the nearest eth hub.
No alternative to the current system have ever been able to prove itself, the current system made sure of that.
The current system is not money, the current system uses money as a mean of control (in fact in this phase it the scarcity of money is the mean of control). Control is the objective, "the stronger wins" is the essence of the system.
On average it might be significant. Now, I apparently live in a statistical anomaly since the climate seems cooling since the early 90s and the last summers I had no sleepless nights fighting mosquitoes and the damp heat.
But I have an idea. Those of you whose observations match the models (well, try to look at predictions and not at post facto rationalizations), please ignore me and believe in AGW and act accordingly. On average, we will be doing the right thing.
What if it's not a stereotype? I have a computer illiterate little sister myself (she's happy with debian aptosid BTW), and those in this story might not be speaking metaphorically either. Let reality defeat sexism, since females code well, and especially since they shoot better than males.

Now now, that's not true, it merely considers them dumb. Given that most of their computing could be fruitfully done on a previous generation machine running linux, I tend to agree with MS.
the "computer illiterate little sisters" are computer illiterate by definition. He'd be sexist if he stated all little sisters are computer illiterate, which is quite premature as Metro is just not so widespread right now.

Hm. You know, before the little but steady flood of slashdot discussions about how vista didn't really suck, I'd have given you a 10% probability of being truthful.
But do not misunderstand, I criticize your objectivity, anyway, not your good intentions, which I have no reason to question.
It's like my younger self as recruit in the army, with an assignment involving lots of dishes and no detergent which was solved with heaps of hot water. After me and another recruit cleaned dishes, we left the literally steaming kitchen and went outside saying "AAAH here it's cool". It was 37C - 98F , sunny and damp yet we thought it was cool. Metro is as cool as that.

Given that a lot of people in intelligence communities believe they are working for the good side, I have no troubles believing your hypothesis.
Anyway, when a guy leaks about possibly corrupt institutions, and the reaction is on the guy and possible accomplices, don't we have a bigger problem? It means justice is in bed with corrupt institutions.
In fact, brighter lights, brighter semaphores, just makes it difficult to see the rest (e.g. pedestrians). Those with good night vision are impaired by brighter lights, those without are still in trouble. It's like the road sign escalation.

If you want to stay with money then guy tries little experiments with money, police seizes the lot just in case.
Historically speaking, challenge to power as little as not giving way has been punished by death.
> Because currently Bitcoin is small potatoes
Systems of power have historically been very sensitive to small potatoes, as a little bit of research will show up.

Cyanogenmod.
Are you countering an argument about a system using a mod of such system? I am sure replicant and cyanogenmod are more hack friendly.
no gpl3? ouch ouch ouch ouch
Good choice because Disney has nothing to do with masonic stuff, as quick google searches will surely... oh wait.

Oh and the new millennium sucks.
hm. the nazi reference is not explicit enough. I would not take it to court, OTOH IANAL.

You are soooo right, I am really upset my tax money can't bail out those poor investors and operators.

I am not sure which one of us is it, but successful troll is succesful.
One cannot troll in peace, apparently.

Which is already overkill, as the gender one could accurately assign to facebook users is "neuter".
But let's say we want to split (pubic) hair. Then, 'male disguised as lesbian' is a notable missing option.
I hope somebody shouted HAMMERTIME!

Everything can be explained by stupidity, including this post.
Back to topic: "Brazil" called, it wants its plot back.

Cool story, bro, but... ...if the aliens craft actually ran linux, it would not have crashed in the first place.
