That is really quite metaphorically, because at least one of the last Windows Mobile phones (HTC HD2) had almost the same hardware as Nexus One, so porting Android to that phone was not that difficult. There are also ports for other Windows Mobile devices.
We are talking about Linux, so 3.5" floppy disk would be appropriate. They were ubiquitous in 1991. You can go for double density disks, though, since they were cheaper. Bonus points for drilling a hole in the capacity indicator and formatting the floppy for high density resulting in no errors in Norton disk doctor.
Doesn't have to be that way. I've built myself a bicycle a few days ago. The frame was old and of shitty quality, many parts are new, some parts are even older than the frame, but were top quality 20 years ago. Oh, it cost me way more than a new and better bicycle would cost (I've invested about EUR 600 in that pile of shit), and the front derailer still doesn't work very well under load, but it was fun building it and it is something I've built with my own hands, so I value it.
There is actually no need to. I've got a desktop computer with Core2Duo E8400 CPU and a Radeon HD5770 graphics card and the only fan of that system sits in the PSU (and it is almost silent due to its low RPM). The system is quite fast and the power consumption is moderate. It is absolutely possible to build a silent and powerful desktop system.
Exactly that. And not nearly all muslims are enemies to the science. I used to date a muslim girl who has earned a master's degree in biology. Me being a militant atheist with a jewish parent. Life can be strange.
The Pirate Party of Berlin is somewhat different than the branches of other federal states. The other branches rather have an emphasis on a restraint of the rampant surveillance - not only on the net, but also in RL - more political transparency and civil rights.
Most species of the Xiphophorus genus interbreed without any problem, in fact, most of their domestic population are hybrids of some sort (and they also interbreed like crazy).
IIRC there were even successful cross-genera interbreedings - african x indian elephant, sheep x goat and others.
Easy. My parents woke me up every morning so I could go to school, and my activities after school consisted of hiking, reading books, or using my PC. In the very seldom situation when I needed to know when the next bus or tram arrives, I always could ask someone on the street so I actually never wore a watch. I still don't - except for a heart rate monitor when I work out sometimes.
With that kind of life I really didn't care about time - as long as I was at home before the sunset, my parents were fine with it, since they knew that I was a total nerd and, unlike my sister, never would do anything stupid.
So my 3 year old can tell time on an analog clock, sounds like your nephew might be a bit slow.
Not necessarily. I am certainly not slow but I do have my difficulties reading analog clocks, and I am in my thirties. I just never bothered to learn it - I didn't care much about time until I was twenty and by then I had a cell phone.
Ripping off the iPhone? HTC released their first touchscreen smartphone when Apple was selling a Firewire-only Ipod with a 20 gigabytes hard drive as their top product.
I still have got that particular phone model somewhere, last I've checked it still was working.
I understand that the hardware is different, I just used an exaggeration to make my point, because in my opinion, arguments like "It is not a valid open source project because it is for windows and windows costs money" are ridiculous.
Porting is always difficult, and it does not matter whether it is porting from proprietary technology or from an open one. I've got an application for embedded Linux that was meant for some special hardware, kernel 2.4 and GCC 2.95. After the manufacturer changed the hardware, it now runs with kernel 2.6 and I can use GCC 4.4. Updating the application to even compile again was not quite easy. On the other hand, I've implemented the YModem protocol in Windows/C# and tweaked it there until it worked well. Then I've pasted the C# source code to the C++ project of that Linux application I was talking about, replaced the functions with the according C++ ones and it worked immediately.
What I actually mean is that it is not wrong per se to use a proprietary compiler or proprietary libraries for an open source project.
You mean like all of your PC hardware? Or have you actually lithographed your own CPU from an open VHDL source, etched the PCB of your motherboard and so on?
How can a beginning marker and an ending marker of a logical unit be loosely related?
And since the text of the source is written and aligned in rectangular blocks, you can only have a 90 degree symmetry. Since you don't have a horizontal symmetry there is only the vertical one left.
I stick to it, there is something seriously wrong with your sense of visual perception.
True, in a way. I use Total Commander because I've been using Norton Commander "for fucking years, absolutely years" and thus know all the shortcuts by heart. The two panel paradigm also feels more natural to me (the reason could be that NC was the very first piece of software I've ever used).
Insightful my fat arse. Aggressive drivers who try to get from A to B as fast as possible cause traffic jams. Drivers who flow with the traffic don't. That technology is made explicitely for a smooth traffic flow.
But by your logic the USSR should have completely exterminated the population of Germany and its satellite states in the Great Patriotic War. Even Stalin wasn't as crazy as you seem to be.

Oh, and this, too. Round corners, by the way.
What exactly is so difficult in having low phone bills?

Somehow this number reminds me of Fidonet.

Except the K&R style is way uglier because it lacks symmetry and symmetry is for humans the very definition of beauty.
Thus, if you think that symmetry is ugly, then there is something wrong with you.
The law was actually imposed by Americans together with the rest of the Allies after the occupation of Germany.

You remind me of an old German joke:
- Attention, there is a wrong-way driver on the Autobahn
- A wrong-way driver?! There are thousands of them!
Insightful my fat arse.

I did not miss anything at all.

If you behave like a rabid dog, people not involved will get together and show you the real meaning of post-natal abortion.
War is something people don't like and try to avoid nowadays, but it is not possible to avoid an unpredictable genocidal maniac.
