So true, but I wouldn't venture too far down the "Midas wasn't" alley.

The thing I remember about alta vista is that when I searched for "UDP proxy", for example, all I got was a hundred pr0n links without a single link to anything actually relating to UDP or proxying. I think it was just about then when I switched to google.

No, quite the reverse. This shift answers all those questions in one fell swoop.

What's wrong with that? The headline does say [i]theologian[/i].

For Androids the cheapest Huaweis sell here for about 110e and you get a ton of options around 150e.

There are a lot of Nokians that sell between 50e and 100e, but I doubt that Nokia could sell anything they can jam linux into below 100e. Those cheap ass phones are all series40 with virtually zero sw costs and a line of phones they've been making for ten years now so no wonder they can make them cheap. Nokia always had good hardware manufacturing and logistics, it's what they did and didn't do with software that sunk them into the maelstrom they're in now.

I can see how you may think that, but from where I come it would be a lot more appropriate to tell the people the way things are. In this case "It's quite not a hurricane from a windspeed point of view, but it's the rain and flooding that can be truly frightening and will require action." that would be a lot better than twist the truth about categorization.

If you're truthful to the public, the public will pay heed when the time comes. If you keep twisting it, they'll try to interpret the need of caution themselves.

At least you could have mentioned the other 20 photographs in the complaint all to be from an angle. None of which depicts the aspect ratios as clearly as the picture in page 28 does or would have. Oh well. Apple fanboys accept one in 20 pictures to be fake when evidence is presented.

Now, look who's trolling... I'm don't know much about Florian Muller, but I do know that he's the founder of the NoSoftwarePatents. That, to me, a sw developer, is quite enough to convince that he is not really troll unless peered through corporate goggles (or possibly in this case, an apple fanboy goggles).

Why would even say that, because that's exactly the kind of crap they put out.

Rooting an Android device has precious little to do with movie piracy. Except now, that they making it so, having the audacity to ask me to unroot to access a movie market.

This has precious little effect on those who pirate. The only ones this has any effect again is those that would be customers. And those are being denied of root access to their phone. Some may unroot, others will download them elsewhere.

This is just as assbackwards as copy protection. Make life more difficult for paying customers and have no relevance what so ever to those who download illegal copies.

That's a load of crap.

Google could've said no. Just as they should've said no when it was china doing the asking.

"You want to sell movies in Android? Then sell to those who rooted the devices, too, because it has jack to do with piracy. You fight your piracy wars on your own turf and where it has considerably less collateral damage to legit user experience."

Having a spine when it counts is what not being evil is all about. Being not evil only when it's parallel to profit, is not being not evil.

I really need and use the features that rooting the device provides. Without it, I'd be a lot less inclined to even buy Androids. Denying that in the name of DRM is just ridiculous. And Google should've said so.
