There's absolutely no reason why you can't run debian on a phone. Okay it will be pretty useless as a phone but if you just want to use an old phone you have lying around then it will run it. Even aged smart phones are more powerful than a lot of devices I put linux on now as part of my day job. The lowest spec I ran desktop linux on was an 30Mhz ARM-6 with 128MB of RAM. I had full X running on that with fvwm2 window manager. This was back in 1998.

So what sex?

Because they're idiots. Its not always the case. But lately its not been good. Don't worry its not what the Brits want.

This is a really stupid idea!

You fail so completely.

I think that's more than 6%!

I don't buy US produced music anyway. Its not like you make it all or far from it. The UK makes better music!

The thing about these laws is the arrogance that a country thinks its the only country that can develop X and by preventing the export its protecting itself. The thing about knowledge is once you know something is possible clever people can develop it and there's no shortage of clever people. The US tried to prevent the UK having nuclear weapons just after the war. But we went and developed the first commercial nuclear power station before you and nuclear weapons not long after. RSA encryption was banned for export for a while. We'd gone and invented it in 1973 but didn't tell anyone including the US so we were encrypting our own stuff anyway. Now that China makes everything anyway it doesn't really matter. If Iran say wanted loads of iPads for some system they'll just get them from China. The only American thing in an iPad is a bit of the software. The rest is bought it technology.

I just opted out of the tracking! I just tried the link from the link and Google said it didn't know me. :-)

This is almost $30. Terrible...

Things will come down as the port becomes more wide spread.

If you don't like the game don't buy it and don't play it. Simple. No one owes you anything. If enough people don't like it the game will be a flop. So be it. But no one is forcing you to buy anything. Blizzard have a product and you have the chance to purchase it. That's it. The entitlement people have is amazing.

Actually no it doesn't. The game producer makes a game and either you want to play it or you don't. You have not rights to demand anything. If you don't like it play something else.

Doesn't mean its better just means there are more Android phones available. There have been, what, 5 different models of iPhone. So that (currently) 21% is spread across them. But how many Android phones have there been? Some of them at the budget end, some of them priced and similarly capable to the iPhone. And this is partly the problem with developers. Its like developing for a console vs developing for a PC. The hardware on Android phones varies so much its harder to make a good app. I've noticed that some developers are restricting their dev to the popular phones which means the app wont necessarily run on your Android. iPhone doesn't have that problem.

I have both an iPhone (a battered 4) and a Galaxy Nexus running ICS. If I wasn't a Mac user the Nexus would do me fine I think. However since I have both my iPhone is definitely my day to day at hand phone. Its the one I use all the time. The Nexus I do 'kewl stuff' on. Its very much an extravagance. If I had to pick just one it would be the iPhone.

I love the Oyster card and I don't live in London. I have one on automatic top up. I basically don't drive in London. I either leave my car on the outskirts or go by train. Oyster card allows me to travel around to my hearts content. There's a maximum daily cost too!

Wouldn't it be better just to ban HFCSes which is just damn right bad. Most sensible countries don't use it anyway. I don't drink sugary drinks in the US when I'm there anyway because HFCS gives me IBS. I also have to be very careful what I eat too. Its poisonous shit!

Actually the internet came from various places. Yes there was ARPANET that formed the majority of it. The UK formed JANET in parallel. A lot of the packet switched network concepts came from the UK too. Like all of these developments. There's no one source. When something comes of age it comes of age. I suspect if ARPA hadn't been there something else would have arrived and we'd still have the internet. It would just be subtly different.
