There are nightly updates, http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/
Also, reading your post was painful.

Is the poll suggesting that media not "local" is your media?

Not using hosts, dns poisoning. They work, with pr0n and all.

Install a router, or something running something like tomato, that can run a composite block-list that is automatically updated. Sure they could still screw up settings and maybe install something they don't want, but this makes it nearly impossible to get anything malicious and resolves 80% of the problem.

It doesn't mean to eat your own shit, its a metaphor to use your own product.

Other reports make it sound like the two companies have already merged at the upper-ranks, I'm sure they will cough up some money. Reminds me of IT, best time to ask for support from a stingy company is right after their licensing invoice.

I'm curious what platform google is using for servers?

I'm surprised there was no mention of CounterStrike or vent. I mean if a guy continuously picks the terrorist side... or NSA agents aren't leet enough to hang with that crowd either.

The underlying issue is probably the billions they are paying their own execs.

They ask and shall receive.

Some of my android based tablets and phone are using browsers with a user agent that reports as an ipad, seems to help get an html5 website.

With my s3 set to load one cpu and try to keep the other idle and a max freq of 1.2ghz(I also believe each frequency setting is under-volted) I can nearly get 2 days of regular use, and I still choose the battery option. Battery life of 5-7 days would be great.

For perspective, in 9 days of use the cpu spent 84% of this time in deep sleep, 8% at 384mhz, 1% at 594mhz and 2% at 1.242ghz. I do a lot of email, occasionally surf and watch vids, no games.

Wow strung a chord with me, that is exactly how I grew to feel about WoW. Maybe the natural evolution of blizzard games? I'm not sure RMAH was ever implemented in wow, but basically "ultimate equipment" was removed when 10man gear = 25man gear.

Would that also apply to sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade?

I'm sure we will have done away with that pesky constitution before this issue makes it through the proper channels.
