Integrate the Android support in Debian (which is free from corporate interests) and it will flow downstream. Easy-peasy :)

What does Canonical have to do with anything?

Working Linux drivers cost $1500 and your soul, apparently...

Write code, fix bugs, create promotional material and documentation. It's a software project, what else would they be doing?

"Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!" - Edsger W. Dijkstra

When you visit my site with IE8 and lower, it sets the background color to the foreground color so that you can't read the text. I want my progressive enhancement to be REALLY progressive.

Nope, he was arguing that quantum physics is wrong and black holes don't emit information - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . Now it seems this is pretty much settled - they do, the question is only how.

As long as we're dreaming, I'd like mine with a manual override, too :) I don't insist on full-manual, if it's a 1500 hp electrically-powered 4wd beast I don't mind the software protecting me from splitting my head open, but I want to be able to turn the wheel and press the pedals from time to time :)

A taxi doesn't get you the freedom to just go to some town, see if there's anything interesting there, go someplace else... just explore. I mean, you probably could, but it will be very expensive to travel any significant amount that way. Public transport is better suited, but it fails to provide the privacy and convenience (and often comfort) of a personal car.

I still don't get it why noone is making a smart reader. RSS is semi-structured, which will make programming the AI quite a lot easier, and you'll get cool stuff like news articles you're likely to read on top, garbage on bottom (seriously, it's just a spam filter, nothing new here), suggestions of blogs to follow related to your interests (recommender system that learns from other users' added feeds)... This is exactly what Google should be doing, but for some reason they decide to shut it down?!

They're just scared of what's happening to the other "intellectual" nations, that's all.

Mod parent funny, made me LOL (even if true).

Calculus was "patented" for much longer than 20 years (the period was called the "Dark Ages") and we ARE centuries behind, actually. Please refer to http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/8974/title/A_Prayer_for_Archimedes

Yeah, they recommend that you have a normal GUI server somewhere in your network, so that you can manage the Core servers through the MMC (it supports remote servers).

Exactly the question I've been asking myself my whole life...
