I wonder if you've read a certain novella by Spencer Johnson about two mice and two Lilliputians. It's called Who Moved My Cheese? , and if you don't care to read the whole thing, you can watch the short film adaptation or just read its storytelling patterns.
Change it to "I'm more active on SoylentNews than here." And start submitting some good stories, especially from Ars Technica or Phoronix or other sites that have developed a reputation as "future Slashdot".
I still get that box at the top right of every single article. Perhaps it's because people aren't replying to your comments. Do you see my reply up there?
Isn't Fallout that game that the announcer in Super Monkey Ball name-drops all the time?
By "reset" do you mean in the sense of pressing the Reset button on a game console? Because if so, turning the device all the way off to eject the SIM is like that. Or do you mean a different kind of reset?
You charge LESS to MORE users, not MORE to LES and LESS users.
That's true if most of your costs are fixed infrastructure costs. But the big TV networks charge a royalty per user.

Something to do with boron...

GameStop removed PC games once widespread Internet activation requirements destroyed the used market.
I assume it's reading something off the SIM or on the network, or the carriers are intercepting the "is their a new update" query.
Try this: shut down the device, pull the SIM out, turn it on, connect to Wi-Fi, and manually check for updates. Or is it actually storing what it finds through the SIM?
How so? Android is the only major mobile platform I can think of that has an app for making apps. It's called AIDE. Other suggestions are welcome.
US Carriers can now hold up the over-the-air updates for Nexus.
Then buy the phone from someone other than a cellular carrier, and remove the SIM card when checking for updates over Wi-Fi. If neither the carrier-customized firmware nor a SIM card is present, what connection does the phone have to any carrier that would give the carrier power to hold up updates?
Tivoization refers to having source code but being unable to install it due to a locked bootloader. It does not refer to lacking source code in the first place. The owner of an Android phone already possesses a copy of the executable kernel on a flash memory soldered to the phone's PCB. This means that under the GPL, the phone's owner is entitled to a copy of the kernel's source code. The obligation to distribute corresponding source code to "any third party" if it does not accompany the executable was present already in the GPLv2.
How is one supposed to boycott BlackBerry's QNX operating system? Not buy a car?
They haven't released a binary.
If they haven't distributed a binary to the public in any form, then what software is running on the phones?
Wallmart and places used to have terminals setup in store for this but those are long gone - or still sitting there broken and never fixed.
Then be a squeaky wheel. Call the manager daily and recite the following script each time: "Hi, my name is [name], and I am interested in working at [address of store]. I noticed that the employment application terminal at that store was out of service on [date of last visit]. Has it been fixed yet?"
The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
