Fedora 15 with the latest updates and official NVIDIA drivers, its been my main environment for the last week with very little problem (especially considering FC15 is still Alpha).

My main gripe is the lack of preferences in the GUI, but a little google + cl fixes that.

From a young developers perspective Philly was fun. Lots of events, low living costs for a decent city and tons of web work. I was able to easily freelance with few contacts.

A previous co-worker on the other hand (usually working in the very top of a company) found Philly to be difficult as he had too much experience in high positions and expected to find it again and again with a cushy salary too boot. Its been over a year and I still think he is out of work.

Pharma while soul crushing will get you the fast cash you need, is abundant and should be easy enough to get into.

Nothing has helped me more with Android than a great Java book (Effective Java.) The rest you can read in the official Android docs or rip apart examples if thats your style. So far this looks like a nice marriage of all of those parts.

This years line up and the fact I am now close enough to attend have me feverishly checking email all day. Thanks for the update!

I like basic editors so on a Mac TextMate and Linux gEdit.

For quick Java and C tests and all Android work I use Eclipse which is available on all major platforms of course. IntelliJ is on my list to try out but I have no real reason just yet

Now companies can stop opening an American "office" just to sell apps on Android and other like hacks such as Paypal in app unlocking.

Smoothing and proper metrics were default in 9.04+ and before that accessible via a GUI interface for manual tweaking. Replacing FreeSans with a well tailored family is just finishing the job (so you don't have to.)

I hear ya, but these things are just as important. Poor user experience is a bug and graphical tweaks and updating the indicator platform was much needed. I will admit windicators, multitouch and head tracking parallax should take low priority, but most of their designers wouldn't be fixing driver bugs if they weren't turning up the pretty.

With the latest stable 10.04 I have had very little trouble if any. Granted I am on a ThinkPad. When I ran it on a Macbook Pro and its slightly tweaked "standard" hardware it ran like crap and took a lot of coaxing to get up and running until I just gave up and got the right hardware for the job.

Hands down the best file syncing and backup experience. I use it on my Ubuntu netbook and laptop, iMac, Macbook Pro, a Windows 7 VM on occasion and my Android. Sometimes there are weird conflicts between all these different devices (maybe client software/OS bugs?) but I trust it with my life.

99% of all my files are in Dropbox (minus large archived projects and videos for space/bandwidths sake) and I do a monthly dump to an external.

How about those who can't afford it? It's also truly a personal and private choice. I don't judge you because you are insane about getting shot up, thats your choice. Mine is to question face value headlines, see what's happening and make an educated choice.

Furthermore vaccinating the most of the world is not going to happen until they are made strictly for all people and not for profit. Patenting medicine and vaccines and distributing it to only those who are "deserving" sound a bit off no?

Similar deal here. Went for two years, got a full time job and I couldn't get student loans big enough to cover the other two. Were the classes and connections worth the price even without a degree? Absolutely. Considering todays economy, a body of work, salary and two additional years of work experience is more valuable than a BFA from a pricy art school.

My first instinct (after taxes) would be to take a year off and build something worth 10x that. Then do it again.

Apple too with Game Center but it doesn't look like they are taking it as seriously

I'd say your private property would have reasonable expectation of privacy. Provided your car was parked on private property this would be called trespassing should you enforce and report it. Foregoing REP really only applies to public places (parking lots, parks, the sidewalk, etc.) so I would just check your car.

Don't Fast Passes and the like already do this where possible?

In 2.2 and higher there is an integrated crash reporter into the system. For 2.1 and lower I have a crude catch all error handler that sends the cause of the crash, app and os versions, handset model and carrier, etc. Using this method, some custom ROMs and two phones I can fix roughly 95% of the errors without actually having the device or user with me to debug.

I must be the only one who absolutely loves Android, its fragmentation, its stupid little quirks and the fact its written in Java. Then again I am not a traditional software engineer / CS grad.

Edit: and he is such a cry baby! :)

2.1 users should check out Edwin. It does a lot of this stuff, it's free and its made by a HN reader.
