I think that a programming language that is easy for non-programmers to read might be easier to learn. When I learned Python, it took me significantly less time to internalize its syntax than with C.

I am pretty sure that the vast majority of mobile phones do not support Telepathy. While your comment is interesting for people consider desktop Linux development, it is a bit off-topic in a discussion about mobile platforms.

The privacy policy and terms of service seem to be linked on the website: http://fetch.io/privacy/ http://fetch.io/terms/ I think their DMCA policy seems interesting, as it seems to ask copyright holder to mail notice of infringement

Do you have a citation to back that up? I do not know about publishing, but I can guarantee you that lack of Microsoft Office compatibility would have been a dealbreaker for several of the Mac owners that I supported when I worked in educat

I love the fact that their privacy policy is non-existent, and their terms of service is badly formatted (wrapped in PRE tags) HTML.

Hardware support in Linux is heavily tied to the state of the kernel that your distribution uses. Newer kernels generally have better support for newer hardware. I am not aware of any distribution which is better or quicker at patching thei

From your comment, it looks like you think your primary goal is to find enough funds to get a short code. Couldn't you charge users a small subscription fee, either on a monthly or per-message basis, in order to get enough money to pay for

I think the author's description of the failed troubleshooting he did is as interesting as the issues surrounding DRM: The overwhelming impression that a user gets from a Google search for this error message is that this is a known, solved

The site at http://hellosundaymorning.com.au/ is somewhat interesting, but I am not sure why you linked to this SMH article. The article is only tangentially related, since it is about the writer's personal journey with alcohol abstinence

I have read a bunch of Lucas' posts on The Board (through Planet Gnome), but I still think that I am not sure why The Board is useful for people who do not need to keep a record of the dates and times they create content on their computers.
