Vim, GCC and GDB, the best software development system on the market.

Why on earth would you recycle code, that is rookie programming error 101. Every program you write needs to use a fresh and clean set of functions and structures, because how else can you get everything to fit together perfectly.

Go with a smaller ISP, I live in Toronto and we have 0 throttling, I get 5 MB/s at all times.

Write a full RTOS in C with support for logging and debugging in the course of 4 months. If you can do that you pass, other wise you fail and you aren't a programmer, you're a code hacker.

What's wrong with VIM, GCC and BASH?

Then don't buy a smart phone or don't use the play store, problem solved to an issue that didn't exist.

No but it does tell you that the app will transfer data. If you're that worried about the amount of data transferred then use the application for a minute or two and reference the data usage screen.

If I monitor my entire app driven data transfer, the ones that happen without me knowing, I might sit around the 100MB level, low enough for me not to care or really for anyone else to care. App tell you if they are going to require network access when you download them, if you skip the screen which tells you that then don't complain.

So sending information over a network well using a battery to power the system will drain the battery, how can this be a law suit? Wouldn't this be the same as saying, "My phone turns on and works but the battery drains so I'm suing you!" I would make the group of the law suit demonstrate a battery that doesn't that doesn't drain and can still allow network communication, when they can do that they can proceed, other wise just stop.

Next release of GNU/Linux still out preforms Windows in all the areas that matter.

Just write a simply perl script to handle it, it would take about 1 hour to develop and test and you'd be good to go.

I know, hence why trying to use the religion view of creationism isn't realistic.

Lets hear the creationist explanation for this one :-)

This is truly one of the very few profs who can talk about software design.

I don't care if they want me to power on my notebook or phone. However if they want to search my notebook they better know how to use terminal based Linux, which honestly I think would pose more of an issue then anything else. It is a pretty valid question to ask why you're travelling with dead electronics.
