It would not solve the authentication problem, but you can use command line ftp to download Firefox from a new installation, assuming it's available or can be installed with Windows setup. Start command prompt. Enter ftp ftp.mozil

The higher levels of the Android stack are Apache 2 licensed. Even with the GPL, many Android devices ship with closed kernel modules.

That sounds strangely like the problem systemd was created to solve. It's supposed to detect double forks in the started daemon and track pid files named in it's configuration file. At least that's how I read it in numerous a

There's more to it than that though. She is talking about hacking not just in the context of programming, but in a range of activities that may lead somebody to program on their own. It's more about the spirit of it. It's pos

Do you know what kernel version or distribution fixed that? I've avoided installing a native distribution for that reason.

Do you think an alternative launcher for Android that featured a similar approach to live tiles would capture that advantage? As opposed to all the Newton/Palm style launchers out there.

Possibly, but just saying learn C# so you can program for Windows Phone is the wrong selling point. It should be learn C# so you can develop native-quality apps for all mobile platforms. Microsoft should completely embrace Xamarin. That wou

Initially it was, but Android/Google have become the establishment. And ARM-based devices are becoming our general-purpose computing devices. Having an option for running the software we choose is the question of whether we have open c

Ha, no problem. I was actually asking your experience with those things. I am a little critical of people declaring Android great because it's open, while ignoring the limitations of AOSP. Unfortunately, this is a trend for or against

I've reread my comment and am trying to see where I was critical of Android. AOSP is open source, and it has parity with commercial distributions of Android in a number of areas. I have been working with Android and Linux on Qualcomm M

It's almost absurd the lack of fanfare surrounding AT&Ts proposed phase out of the PSTN in favor of IP networks. We got number portability and wireless number portability, but the carriers still act as if they own our e.164 address
