So just hit the super key (ie. windows key). Even easier...

Relax Coward, you seem to have skipped over the first sentence: "This certainly isn't true for me". He/she wasn't trying to claim that it was true for everyone.

I don't know if the IAEA report is "entirely discredited" but there definitely seems to be some sketchy stuff in there. I found this link that talks about it (and I didn't really look very hard).

The hostage crisis in 1979? Really? That's the best you can come up with? I see you also conveniently forget that the CIA organized a coup in Iran. I don't think the Iranians are angels, but they have very good reasons to dislike the U.S. (and the British).

The button layout is the same as for Honeycomb. Honeycomb apps put their menu button in the top right corner (I believe this is called the application bar). I believe this is carried over to ICS. For legacy apps, a menu button shows up in the usual place. So you shouldn't need to worry...

You should read the summary again... Nexus S is definitely getting ICS, that's what this article is about - its rolling out to google employees first. After they have dogfooded it for a while it will go out to everyone.

Nexus One will probably not get it though. A bunch of manufacturers pledged to keep phones updated for 18 months after release. The Nexus One didn't make that cut off.

"Android is GPL" is flat out wrong. Only the linux kernel and a few bits are GPL. The bulk of the code is Apache licensed. You're being disingenuous by dismissing the most interesting parts of the Android system as "cruft layered on top".

First issue: This is great if you have an external system to log to - if not, you're boned. This new logging system seems to cover both cases.

Second issue: One of the big reasons for doing this is to be able to detect when the log has been altered to cover a crackers tracks. Obviously, a deleted log file is easily detected and a big indicator that your system has been compromised, so I'm not seeing your point here.

Third issue: As has been stated above, you can log to both the Journal and good old text based log files. That way you can still use your existing tools on the text file while still being notified of log file alteration. I agree that a common format for log entries would be nice but may not be possible since not every application logs the same kind of data. Note also that this proposal allows for arbitrary key/value pairs so some standard conventions will probably come about after its been used for a while.

Fourth issue: Not sure I understand what you are talking about here... Obviously, backward compatibility will have to be taken into account by the devs. You should be able to read the files on other machines if you backed up your encryption keys, etc. (you do backup that stuff right?). By reading the articles, it sounds like the devs have thought about these issues and/or they have already been raised by others. They seem to be fairly easy to deal with.

I'm not necessarily on board with this proposed system either, but your issues seem like they've already been covered by the proposed design.

It sounds like you are confusing these kernel code names for the Ubuntu and Mac OSX code names. They are not the same. No one really uses the kernel code names except maybe kernel devs (but even they mostly refer to specific version numbers).

You can find the Ubuntu and Mac OSX names on wikipedia (they're on their websites too, but wikipedia is easier to find). Here's Ubuntu's and here's Mac OSX.

This doesn't necessarily mean she was attracted to you. Its more likely that she now felt "safer" talking to you since you were married (ie. less likely to hit on her).

The Artist Hub takes 30% too. Sorry, I guess you're boned...

How are you getting TekSavvy over cable in Vancouver? Their website only shows it available in Ontario. Is this new? I'd love to switch to TekSavvy...

Its actually a phonetic phenomenon called Canadian Raising (and you are correct, it's more like a-boat). It definitely regional and not restricted to Canada (it occurs in some parts of the US). See Wikipedia's page on Aboot.

Why are you running a desktop on your servers? You're doing it wrong...

From the article:

Emphasis mine. Anyone know why the Army wants a robot that respires, sweats and changes skin temp? Weird...
