It’s not free to Dish.

If you’re whining about updates a Samsung isn’t going to do much to satisfy you.

Because copyright is the buzzword to activate the paid members of congress to run their mouths and fan the flames.

This sounds more like a contractual issue if Dish agreed to air commercials – but they are this only applies to a recording, and it’s legal to cut them out and format shift.

Except it’s not.

I’ll probably say it has to do with labor and delivery :p

Microsoft: Here’s one.
The Dead Collector: That’ll be ninepence.
Flash: I’m not dead.
The Dead Collector: What?
Microsoft: Nothing. There’s your ninepence.
Flash: I’m not dead.
The Dead Collector: ‘Ere, he says he’s not dead.
Microsoft: Yes he is.
Flash: I’m not.
The Dead Collector: He isn’t.
Microsoft: Well, he will be soon, he’s very ill.
Flash: I’m getting better.
Microsoft: No you’re not, you’ll be stone dead in a moment.

Yeah, definitely sounds like the people expecting Google to sell the Moto hardware business are wrong.

This is awesome.

The lawyers’ lunch today probably cost that much.

They sort of do that. The kernel basically resumes from hibernation each boot now, unless something changes (ie: new driver) – on a change it’d have to build it again, in which case it’d probably be Windows 7 speed.

I don’t know if UX that’s had years of research and design and engineering a ‘dumb UX paradigm’.

“unless Canonical goes out and gets a license”
Not license, a signature.

On BIOS machines it still will as always.

UEFI complicates matters some, especially for a Dell/HP/Acer/etc.

Pre-built machines will have secure boot on by default. So an unsigned bootloader couldn’t run, therefore you couldn’t run Grub2 directly unless Canonical goes out and gets a license. Secure boot could also be disabled (you’d probably want to avoid machines where it couldn’t be). Then there are solutions can load grub via BCD, which would also bypass secure boot.

Also, custom built PCs with UEFI wouldn’t be a problem either – I don’t expect anyone to ship secure boot on by default (but it could be an option)

Well Grub2 would replace the Windows bootloader. You do the math.

If that happens it’ll never happen. Too many people think space exploration isn’t important.

But the width is the worst part. I just plain hate portrait typing on something that small.

Is it inaccurate though? I mean we’re talking about a former Senator, and they have various law enforcement agencies doing their dirty work.

He just had his butt handed to him publicly.

Don’t worry, they’ll go back to their MAFIAA ways soon enough.
