Ubuntu already has thousands of applications and I'm sure the vast majority of them will run fine on a modern phone.

Software Center -> Amazon Lens -> Uninstall

Feel free to pay me in cookies, I'm feeling peckish

Is your old engine susceptible to remote control security bugs that can be activated by a teenager in Russia?

Not everything is conducive to a car analogy.

For many shipping companies in the US they charge you by weight, not size, so they use very light, bulky shipping material and lots of it.

Sounds similar to Captan. My father used to install pipelines in Alberta and they used it to test for leaks. The farmers could smell that stuff from a mile away (literally). If you splashed it on your clothes, you BURN them!

Who the hell mods a 0-score post as "overrated"? And get your sarcasm meter checked, it's time for a humour top-up.

And even longer for him to remember!

That's why you have a COMPUTER which knows ALL 180k words generate the password FOR you!

I've found it to be more stable and support the Microsoft formats with less errors (for the few times I'm forced to use them). It also seems a LOT more responsive and 4.0 is supposed to be even more so. At this point there's really no reason not to.

Then show us a virus that took advantage of Java.

Shaw (my provider) doesn't seem to care what you run on your network unless they get complaints that you've attacked somebody and even then I think it takes something fairly serious for them to even contact you. Telus (the only other backbone provider available here) explicitly blocks incoming connections to most low-numbered ports and there is NOTHING you can do about it without getting a business account and the prices for those aren't even listed, you have to phone them and get a quote.

My provider is Shaw which, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't rent from anyone (they are a backbone). The problem with co-location is that A) I don't trust having my hardware in someone else's building, B) I like to mix things up and don't want to have to phone someone if I screw up a firewall rule or a network configuration and C) I still need upload speed to get my data TO that location.

The only reason your games still run perfectly on that old 360 and PS3 is because the console versions have shitty graphics. If the PC version was only available up to the resolution of 720p, there would be riots. Most NEW games for the 360 and PS3 only go up to 720p, 1080p is actually very rare on consoles because you're framerate would be shit if they put it any higher.

A REAL ssh client for starters. The ones I've seen for Android and iPhone suck so harshly it's hard to quantify. Not only do they not run full screen in a terminal, they don't support port forwarding, remote X, tunelling, socks, etc.

A proper package manager that lets you add your own PRIVATE repositories (and those of your friends, startups, etc).

Proper VPN support.

ALL of the above is available on the n900 that came out over 3 years ago and are still missing from all other mobile operating systems.

As someone with an n900, Android is not nearly as open as many people think.
