Oh come on. Do you have 12TB of home data? Seriously? And if you do, it's not that hard to have another another 12TB of external USB drives at some relatives place.
I've got about 500GB of data that I care about at home & the whole lot's backed up onto a terrabyte external HDD at my Dad's. It's not that hard.
If you think raid is protecting your data, you're crazy.
Uh. That's not the source to Android. That's the source to Linux and Webkit. Let me know when the Dalvik VM and all the runtime implementation libraries are open sourced.
I'm letting you know - three days later, they're released.
The argument the article makes is that both kill switches only affect items installed via the respective online application stores (Google's Android Market & Apple's App store).
The big difference however is that on an iPhone, you can only* install applications via the appstore, whereas you will be able to install Android apps from a multitude of sources, including the market.
I don't believe the kill switch 'makes sense' for either platform, but Google's implementation can't be the big stick that Apple's implementation could be.
* Yes, I'm aware of jail-breaking, but that's not a realistic option for most consumers.
My solution to global warming: Eat more steak and mushrooms and less vegetables.
I know you're trying to be funny, but it's worth noting here that the production of the steak will use far more vegetable resources than eating the protein-equivalent directly in vegetables.
I've read the linked article. Nowhere does it state anything like: "there was an investigation into the matter by Apple that proved Nvidia's claim to be false..."
Wow, so instead of letting Apple replace the battery for free within the one year warranty, you bought a new device - yeah, you sure showed us what an clever, money-conscious guy you are.
He ended up spending 'a few bucks more' to get a device with twice the storage & three times the battery life.
In most of the world you can still not patent software.
I think you're confusing copyright & patents.
In soviet russia, they didn't really give a crap about patents in the first place. The concept of "owning software" did not fit in their mindset, everyone just copied anything they wanted. All russian software was owned by the government, and by extension the people
Nowhere near that simple - as much a case of a 16 yo naive Russian programmer getting screwed by Western businessmen

He voted for the bailout. QED.
So you think if McCain won, he would also have worsened the depression.
so whatever he does to worsen the depression
Sounds like you've made your mind up already!
You could always pay Flickr $25/year to upload unlimited photos them them.
Sure, I could - but the flickr interface is a PITA compared to my way....
And if you think your external HDD is protecting your data, you're crazy. The failure on those is single point,
No, it's not a single point. Because the data is always present in two places. On my home raid & on the external HDD.
You're right that my rotational policy is lax - but my important data is photos. I tend to keep them in multiple points until rotation.

12 TB of your carefully protected â" you thought! â" data is gone. Oh, you didn't back it up to tape? Bummer!
If it wasn't backed up to an offsite location, then it wasn't carefully protected.
Uh. That's not the source to Android. That's the source to Linux and Webkit. Let me know when the Dalvik VM and all the runtime implementation libraries are open sourced.

Except.... Psystar are trying to legally resell a product. SCO were trying to assert ownership over someone else's property.
Well, you know jack shit about ad-hoc distribution
Given the context of the thread, I'd say that it's you who knows jack shit* about ad-hoc distribution.
1) You're limited to distribute your app to only 100 phones.
2) (more importantly) You're still tied to Apple - and they can still cut off ad-hoc as a distribution method. They've already done this to the developer of podcaster.
In short, Ad-hoc distribution is an even less realistic method option for app installation for consumers than jailbreaking.
* in fact, I'd say that you've got a few years of hard study, before you're even able to aspire to knowing jack shit (about anything).
Remember... The iPhone OS is open source too.
Here's where you can download the source to Android's OS
Can you please point me to where you can download the source to the iPhone's OS? (not Darwin, but specifically the iPhone's OS)
Oh - that's right! You can't.
Why does one have to be good and the other bad?

So Google isn't trying to hide the kill switch, yet it took people longer to find than the one in the iPhone.
Longer to find? You're a fucking retard. Seriously, grow a braincell.
Would it have killed the submitter to clue us in to what Enlightenment is?
here is a website that you may find of use in future.
there is nothing wrong with saying "the Enlightenment window manager" instead of just "Enlightenment".
And what about the windows/os x users on this forum who have no fucking idea what a window manager is? Should we cater to their stupidity too?
Well that shouldn't happen to the new ones
Yeah - he should totally buy a new apple product! That will solve all his problems!

It's a feature
there was an investigation into the matter by Apple that proved Nvidia's claim to be false...
Link please? Oh, right. You don't have one.
Please see what this guy said

Its called not throwing good money after bad.
does anyone know if he was actually a socialist or anything similar?
He was anti-war. In Nixon's US, that made him a communist. No doubt in Soviet Russia, it would've made him Capitalist.
(and goddamnit, can a serious socialist really have a paisley rolls royce?)
Elorg never patented Tetris because:

Agreed. Then again many here glorify taking drugs.
That's because taking drugs is glorious!
I'm betting the stock stereo on any ford doesn't go up to a (Spinal Tap style) 11 either.
How the heck is this a monopoly?
You know, you could read the linked article - it explains it fairly clearly.
