    My brother has been making coffee by the pot in this way for years.

    They make one-cup presses, you know. And you don't have to use the same beans in every cup--you're allowed to buy more than one variety at a time, even.

    At least, that's still true here in Sweden. Maybe your country's not as free.

    The problem must be with your parser. Maybe you should get that checked.

    Since the binary blobs being complained about are just hardware drivers, it apparently is just like that.

    Maybe your world needs to be a bit larger. Where I live, I see lots of folks using Android devices. In public, even!

    I've been using computers for 35 years, and I'll be going to prison before I let myself get locked up in Apple's walled garden. I'd have more freedom that way.

    Didn't they do that because the Steve said that no iDevices would ever be allowed to run it?

    I have Flash on my Samsung Tab 10.2. Found and installed an APK for it with minimal trouble.

    It's "for all intents and purposes", shillboy.

    The rest your post is just as wrong.

    the agonies of iTunes and no access without jailbreaking to the file system finally got the better of me.

    These seem to be the very factors in Mrs Zontar's apparent nascent conversion away from her iPhone and iPad.

    The real indicator is that my wife is finally starting to tire of being constrained by her iDevices and to make noises about getting Android goodies like mine that you can actually do stuff with, without writing to Tim for permission first.

    Isn't that a bit like saying that my OS is no longer Linux because I'm using the Nvidia driver for my GTX 660 (which nouveau claims to support but does not do so by any practical metric such as uptimes greater than, say, 2 minutes)?

  19. Re:ANDROID != LINUX on Android Beats iOS As the Top Tablet OS · · Score: 1

    Come of think of it, my 3-y-o laptop has 6GB RAM, and I could expand it to 16 for a couple hundred bucks.

    I compile a DB server and tools on it regularly. Wouldn't bother trying to do that on my tablet or phone.

    Um. What were we talking about, again?

    "Have you got a 27B / 6 ?"

    No, but I just bought a desktop machine with 16GB (expandable to 64GB), it was not particularly difficult for me to find such a machine, and I am not particularly affluent (I make more than most of my mostly blue-collar neighbours in this suburb, true, but on the graph of what folks for my line of work are paid, my salary is not an outlying data point).

    Okay, okay, I had to get my wife to help me carry it home from the shop--3 cartons, two arms. But even so...

    Last I heard, Kosovo had nothing whatsoever to do with Abkhazia, South Ossetia, or Ukraine. Nor was it ever part of the USSR. Unlike Belorussia, which gives you a pretty good idea what Putin has in mind for Ukraine.
