Sorry G, I'm not really in the mood. People who think that software sold for money "must inherently have something going for it" that free software doesn't are barking up the wrong tree and it's a waste of time arguing with people who aren't willing to question that assumption. They're also...

you're a vital source of aphorisms :D

no waaay :eek:

racist name tho :disagree:

Dude, they are already! It's insane :D My phone which cost 260 bucks has the same amount of memory as my 7 year old laptop that once cost 1,400 :D

I was doing some low level stuff to run on my wifi router (linux also) a while back. In c. Sort of exciting, cause it's like walking on a knife's edge, it's that easy to mess up and crash. But really I get more of a thrill from working code that does non-trivial things.

That's what I always say about private jets.

There have been some recent studies on this. Basically the conclusion is that if you're a dev hoping to make a living from iPhone apps you should be prepared for a very frugal lifestyle. It doesn't pay a lot. And don't forget you have to fork over $100 to Apple just for the privilege of being...

What do you mean in the end? Isn't that what they're always doing?

Eh, long story. Open source is more or less based on the premise that once you buy something (anything) you have the right to do whatever you want with it, after all you own it, right? That means if your phone has a crappy email program, you can replace it etc. Apple's ideology = we sell you...

You probably shouldn't call them names and imply they're idiots, it's not the best way to convince people of your point of view. (Just ask a certain Juventuz member who's been banned a lot eh.)
