Well now, let's see. We are talking about Cisco here, better go to the checklist
Chassis
Power Supply
Redundant Power Supply
Controller Board
IO Board
Android OS
MS Royalties for Android OS
License to Use Android OS with hardware
SmartNet (renewable annually)
I don't know. If you have receipts for all of the above you might be ok to use the thing, but I'm not entirely sure you have the right to say that Cisco can't use it.
Don't pretty much all computer users, especially those of the geeky variety, pirate software when they're kids and have little to no money to buy it?
No doubt many do, but when I built my first computer and couldn't possibly justify the extra cost of a Windows license, it was a no-brainer for me to outfit it with Linux. Thanks to that can-do attitude (yeah, it was a much bigger challenge in 2003 compared to now), I'm now an accomplished IT professional with no formal training. I work on Windows as well these days, but have never had to purchase or pirate a copy for myself.
I'd like to see the life expectancy of those who receive chemotherapy compared to those who don't. Until then, I'm going to stay away from it, just to be safe.
The question on my mind as I read this, and I think many here would agree, is "so what makes this different from or better than Libre Office, now that Oracle has alienated a significant portion of OpenOffice's users and developers?"
Yeah, diversity is good, but I'd like to see this project tout its advantages if they think there be any.
Really? equating somebody's sacredly held beliefs to an infection is just being brushed off as "don't like"? You may want to read up on genocide and how it is the natural progression from intolerance.
In north america at least, we believe in freedom of conscience and worship. This also means that you are free to not like religion. Where we tend to draw the line though is when you start persecuting others for their beliefs, and comparisons to Stalin, Mao, Hitler and other genocidal dictators are appropriate.
And most/.ers will acknowledge this in a discussion on any topic other than religion. It's the one agreed target around here where you can guaranteed get modded up for bashing and down for defending, never mind logic, evidence, ethic, etc. The real irony is that it is the self-proclaimed champions of logic, science and evidence that engage and promote this type of blind bashing.
Fortunately for me I was led into Debian for my first taste of Linux and I've ever honoured that gift by not since hating myself with anything rpm-based.
Fortunately for me I was led into Debian and apt-get before Ubuntu existed, and before I had ever heard of Synaptic. Synaptic is a decent tool and I've used it from time to time, but USC has yet to win me over. The one thing it seems to do okay at is when it is launched by the browser after downloading a.deb package, making the install quick and effortless.
To be fair, I've never tried to install apache from USC. However, I do run a Skills competition, and in four years I've yet to see a competitor (and a member of my technical committee) succeed in doing so; we always end up nudging them toward another package manager if they don't figure this out themselves. So if it's there, it's well enough hidden as to make it effectively useless in my observations.
It's generally agreed among those who use it that (GNU)Linux has been a good OS for years, and its greatest lack was marketing. People who already know that aren't bothered that some distros are working on making Linux shiny for the masses, while many who have yet to realize it will soon have that opportunity, now that the interface looks drastically less klunky.
Ubuntu can afford to make appearance their top priority (I'm just running with your assumption here) because the groundwork's been done. Meanwhile, there are other OSes that focussed on shiny things from the start, and although a lot of money has been made that way, it's proving to be a dead-end strategy.
Now if only OS designers would discover the same thing. It was modded up because the GP is complaining of the lack of choice being thrust upon users, not because he happens to think everyone should do it his way.
Note that Unity and Gnome are no better than MS lately in this regard.
Yours is the second reply to my post warning people not to bring their unvaccinated kids near yours. Note that my post wasn't advocating for non-vaccination, only that the discussion is better when it's based on logic.
So tell me something (and this is an open request, as if I have to say that), if the vaccination is effective, and assuming that you're not a douchebag, and therefore your kids are vaccinated, then how does it matter to you if your vaccinated kids hang out with unvaccinated kids? Is there something inherent in an unvaccinated child that makes them somehow dangerous to vaccinated children? Again, the logic, if there be any, is not coming through.
I will give you extra credit for making an ad hominem attack in the same sentence in which you deride ad hominem attacks, though. I assume you did that on purpose, and I think it shows a little bit of cleverness.
I was vaccinated, so I'm calling you Exhibit B, and myself Exhibit A.
Great exercise in logic right up to the point where you leap from "vaccines don't cause autism" to "if you don't [vaccinate your kids], you are a douchebag".
Never mind whether there might be other ill effects of vaccination, whether a parent might have other reasons for not vaccinating a child, and whether any of these things lead a person to automatic douchebaggery.
Tell me something. Does vaccination predispose a person to faulty logic or exceptional proclivity for ad hominem?

You're right in that I don't see what this offers over a good voip service except maybe the convenience of not having to set it up. For those that do though, I think voip offers way better service at a way better price.

I mean, we did pay for it right?

My biggest gripe with the Software Centre is that not everything is in there. Try searching it for apache.
And milk is really not a good enough source of protein.
Maybe your cows aren't eating enough meat.
or irregardly.
The problem has never been nuclear - it's a great option. However, it's the management of such facilities that's a problem
Isn't that like saying that "the problem has never been software, it's the bugs that people keep writing into it"?

Nope. Not a bit of it.

The box is only ‘allowed’ to work when within the area nominally serviced by AT&T.
Very cool would be any trick to overcome this limitation and have local cell service wherever you may be.
But I'm paranoid.
You could have started there and saved a lot of people a lot of reading.
