I want a small phone with a small screen with the maximum number of pixels possible. And a quad core fast cpu. But what they offer is either a small phone with low dpi and slow cpu, or a high dpi fast cpu phone that is huge. Why can't a fast phone be practical, or a practical phone be fast?

US Robotics, do they still exist?

You survive a spacewalk, an inflated suit, too much G-force, and everything dangerous that can happen in space, then after you land you get eaten by a bear. How ironic.

When, a few years from now, all oil fields in the middle east will be controlled by IS, we want to make the switch away from oil. This seems a solution worth investigating.

Windows One - oh!

People do use tablets. I use my nexus 7 quite a lot. With Android, which I think is best for phones and tablets. As Ubuntu is the best for desktops, or at least used to be.

I wish Canonical would concentrate on making a linux for the destkop with usable UI. Every move they make towards tablets, touch pc's and phones makes Ubuntu worse for desktop users. Which are also the people contributing most to Ubuntu.

Right. It's the same as PKI, just more complicated.

You heart will beat 2.5 billion times in your lifetime. The slower it beats, the longer you'll live.

Next year, it'll be 35 years that I've been developing software. I have never been dissatisfied with my job. I have never felt lack of energy or lack of enthusiasm to develop new software. I work for customers, as a freelancer, I work on my own projects. And I change the area I work in every five years or so. I may be the oldest Android programmer in the world, but keeping up with state of the art technology keeps me alive. I don't feel old. Nor complacent.

So what's your point?

Their site says "proudly powered by wordpress". Err, "security", "wordpress", isn't that mutually exclusive?

A lot of the child pornography we see comes from servers in Russia. Most of the spam we get comes from servers in Russia. Now, wouldn't it be nice if Russia cuts itself off the internet?

They do allow math. Just not for everyone. They keep children stupid, except the ones that work for them using and creating technology to keep them in power. The leaders of the group know that Islam - and religion in general - is bull shit, but - as in our countries - religion keeps people dumb and easy to manipulate. As Dostoevski wrote in his parable about the cardinal great-inquisitor.

I am. I know that a power plant is a lot more efficient, but I don't think it's easier to make the plant cleaner than individual cars. If a power plant has an 80% or even 90% efficiency and a car has 30%, the power plant still emits a significant amount, compared to cars with combustion engines. From discussions, especially when politicians are involved, you could think that electrical cars are emission free. They are not.

Btw, the future of cars is synthetic gasoline created by solar panels, not electricity.

because electric vehicles don't cause emission from powerplants.
