I don't see the source code for Aqua or iTunes anywhere in that link.

I bought two copies for $15 each back when it first came out (promotion lasted for 6 months, was considering buying more just in case). Went from Windows 7 Home permium to Windows 8 Pro. Wasn't too bad of a purchase: 1) it's faster in games, 2) it comes with Hyper-V, 3) non-English language support (especially Chinese and Japanese) is much better than Windows 7. So what about Metro? What Metro? I have Classic Shell installed so I never see it.

Sudden death is usually due to heart attacks. Being obese doesn't help with this matter.

Oh, so we're now down to this entire list of browsers (minus Opera)?

Easy enough. Get any recent phone that's supported by Cyanogenmod. Install Cyanogenmod. Then install Debian (or similar). This can be accomplished as a dual boot or as a chroot inside Android. I have Debian installed on my phone; it's kind of fun to dabble with and show people.

If only Congress allowed the F-22 to be purchased by allies. Even a watered down F-22 for other countries would be better than what we have now: an overbudget F-35 program and other countries buying opposing aircraft.

He can't even get rid of dupes and have proper grammar and spelling in story summaries. What makes us think that he'll actually do any better?

Here you go. Ok, maybe you have to compile it yourself, but since you're on thia site, you should know how to do that with both hands tied behind your back.

Hopefully it works out at least as well as the $1 billion they spent on Linux. Maybe they'll have more graffiti this time too.

Twister, the not so intersting story of some researchers and a tornado. You can't fool me again!

I like Windows 8, and it's better with Classic Shell. But your issues with Windows 8 don't really belong here since Windows 8 came out in August, 2012. Of course back then I upgraded from Windows 7 Home premium to Windows 8 Professional for $15 for each of my two computers. I wouldn't have liked it as much if I had to pay more.

It doesn't hurt that it's pretty trivial to put Ubuntu on these things. I have a Samsung Chromebook with the dual-core Cortex A-15 processor, and I put Ubuntu 12.04 on it. All the things I can't do i ChromeOS (image editing, etc.) I do in Ubuntu.

er, I meant $500/year. When she sold the property, the new owner paid significantly more than that (starts at 1%/year).

Honestly I don't know. I also don't know how this affects non-ARM Android devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, which uses Intel's Atom processor.

Actually they do. The NDK is used when speed is necessary (eg games).
