    Um, no. I'll hate on the people making the calls too. Sprint Telemarkers are legal, so it isn't a problem. They don't call me. The ones that call me when I am on the do not call list are not legal. They are doing illegal things, and they know it, and they don't care. Sociopathic. There are plenty of ways to make money without doing illegal things.

    OH yeah, because my grandmother can add a "PPA to Ubuntu" whatever that is. 98% of android users don't know what sideloading is. Give me a break.

    Oh yeah, all you need to do is tick one box (which is hidden deep in the settings). Give me a break. Only 2% of Android users know this setting exists. And Google knows it. That isnt in the Open Source spirit and you know it.

    100% correct. Android is not Open Source in spirit

    There is no choice: it is controlled by a single corporation. Google, Inc. Android is not Open Source in spirit.

    Yeah yeah, but for the majority of Android deployments Android means AOSP+Play Store. Don't kid yourself.

    No it isn't in spirit. Ubuntu is just another corporate piece of junk.

    Oh yeah, all you have to do is this and that. That is why I say "in spirit". Android is about as open as iOS. Linux is Open.

    This is why Android isn't really Open Source in spirit. It is as closed as Apple is. Corporate controlled is not Open.

    " probably the idea of seeding the atmosphere with an engineered airborne algae or diatom" Oh right. Why not just dump some ice cubes to cool it off. It is just as productive.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is Physics. You cannot make a REAL spacecraft that approaches any significant fraction of the speed of light. You would be dead before you got anywhere. You can talk about "Orion" or "generational spacecraft" but that is just scifi. You can't build one and launch one. All the money in the world isn't going to get humans out of our solar system.

    Key words there are "ON EARTH". Mars is not like a sandy Earth. You are not going to be able to do the same things on Mars like you do on Earth. Christ.

    So you need TWO "slightly larger" rockets? Or three? How many "slightly larger" rockets do you need? Remember you need to pack everything you need, including the pizza oven. I thought you only needed a cave. But now it sounds like it is getting complicated.

    Sure. I'll just order a metallurgical robot and a miner robot and a farmer robot from Amazons "current technology" department. The iron robot creates iron from the iron in the air right? Or the soil? Does it need a mixer attachment? And does the farmer robot need overalls and a tractor? Let me know, I'll add them to my Amazon "wish list".
