Well, sure, you can pay them to work from home in India, but if the point is to get that work back into your GDP then

"Cyanogenmod is in many was less customized and more like stock Android"
So not stock Android, eh? What was your point again? I'm consistently impressed by the amount of whining that happens here these days. Years ago, we used to whine about things that were actually significant to professional developers, not whiny users whining about their phones.
Isn't it the big two? Android or iPhone? So why not just get a Nexus 4 or 5, unlocked, nice and cheap? Root it, and you're done.
The definition of gaming as a hobby is not, "Gaming where ever, whenever you like, however you like."
No Clue indeed. No clue from almost anyone reporting on this piece of news. (it is dissapointing that the BBC headline is so wrong)
Have a read of the Euro Parliament's Press release or (unbelievably better than the BBC) Tech Crunch.
Its a general resolution about online search engines bundling services & about the need to enforce European Competitions laws in the online space.
It's obvious to me he is talking about GPL and not Linux itself.
Its obvious to me that he is deliberately conflating GPL & Linux to scare companies. That's the way MS operates.
Or Greeks, I guess? Or the tons of other countries in which octopus is not an exotic food?
You are twisting his words. Ballmer was not talking about Linux, but about the GPL and it's 'viral' nature.
No. You are totally incorrect. Here's the quote, from it source in the Chicago Sun-Times (via the internet archive):
Q: Do you view Linux and the open-source movement as a threat to Microsoft?
A: Yeah. It's good competition. It will force us to be innovative. It will force us to justify the prices and value that we deliver. And that's only healthy. The only thing we have a problem with is when the government funds open-source work. Government funding should be for work that is available to everybody. Open source is not available to commercial companies. The way the license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the rest of your software open source. If the government wants to put something in the public domain, it should. Linux is not in the public domain. Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches. That's the way that the license works.
Where does it end is not an argument.
"We won't let 3 year olds drive cars? Where does it end?"
They added a feature to the filesystem that let you insert a music CD and see the tracks as WAV files, so you could rip the CD simply by dragging them to your desktop.
I remember that because I tried to play a CD by selecting all the tracks in the folder and double-clicking, only to hear the OS play all the CD tracks at the same time.
That's not a defunct link to previous entries, but a defunct link to a previous version of the contest site. I've un-defuncteded it to more recent previous version of the contest site, but soon that will also be defunctitated or defunctified, or defunctored.
You can see the previous entries by scrolling down, or by selecting "past years" from the menu bar on the web page.
Imagine... a phone you can steal tiny little parts out of, rather than the whole phone. It might be minutes or even hours before anybody even notices.
Are you serious? You think your little armchairy-10-seconds-of-analysis thought on the security of this device hasn't been covered by google's team of engineers?
Oh, it has:
Google says that there will be a “manager” app on the smartphone that controls some kind of locking mechanism, which keeps the modules from popping out when the phone is dropped or twisted.
You will have many recoverable tape errors.
