You don't really need 16 MB to compile Android. If you stick to single thread compilation you can do it with only 8 MB or even less. It'll take ages but you'll get there eventually.

Over here, we get unpowered POTS handset for free from the telecom provider.

Couldn't you have entered just 4 digits and then pressed Enter?

Google bought a company named Android Inc., but at the time the Android OS was still in early development - in fact, it was not even announced yet at the time. So the GP was essentially correct - it was Google that made Android what it is and made it open source.

Also, some devices, like non-carrier branded Samsung phones, don't come with locked bootloaders, so there's no such thing as unlocking the bootloader to begin with.

To zoom with one hand, do a double-tap, and upon the second tap, hold. Then slide down to zoom in and up to zoom out.

i.e. tap, tap+hold... (while holding) slide up/down

The phones on the backs of seats can only be used to make, not receive, calls. OTOH, with cellphones, the airlines can impose a surcharge for both outgoing and incoming calls, much like with carrier roaming. There's also data roaming. So yes, the airlines to stand to make big bucks on this if they play it right.

It's a Doctor Who reference. Gold is the Cybermen's weakness.

You mean less taxes, not fewer. You're talking about the proportional amount, which is uncountable, so less should be used. Curious, because the post you're replying to actually used the correct word, less, but for some reason you felt it fit to paraphrase his words and incorrectly used fewer instead.

On the contrary, I would think if eventually all vehicles become autonomous and coordinated via a centralised network, traffic would flow much more smoother. If there are hazards or obstructions on the road, this information would be relayed to the central controller and all vehicles would be re-routed to minimise impact to traffic flow. With such a system, the flow direction of a lane cold even be changed at short notice as required, greatly optimising the usage of roads leading to improved traffic flow. Also, since computers have much faster response time compared to humans, and because there're no idiots at the wheel, the speed limit could also be increased significantly.

They don't have separate men's and women's. The main FIDE rating list includes both men and women players. The thing is, there are just not that many highly rated women players. To put it into perspective, the current FIDE top 100 list contains only one woman - Judit Polgar, no. 58. So they created another list for women to make the game more competitive for women and increase women's participation. There are chess tournaments exclusively for women, but there are no tournaments exclusively for men. Women are free to enter the open tournaments.

As to why there are so many more good men chess players compared to women? I don't know.

What ads are you talking about? I don't see any ads in the Gmail app, other than the ads contained in e-mails.

Parents, drill this into your children's heads: "Killing yourself, for whatever reason, is STUPID"

You must have missed one of Ethanol-fueled's post where he alleged that his Slashdot account with the nickname Ethanol-fueled was banned due to some rule infraction or something. So now he posts as AC and signs his nickname, Ethanol-fueled at the bottom of the post instead of bothering to create a new account.

"Majority" is used for countables. Use "bulk" for uncountables.
