it would be, in this case, a minor phone OS that likely would not have stood a chance, marketing wise, or programming wise, without google, so the case still stands. On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 10:48 PM, Greg Donald gdon...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 4:44 PM, Hari Edo

Really interesting to see a little sneak peak behind the scenes of Android's development. Would be interesting to see more of that honestly. Thanks for all you do Dianne, it's greatly appreciated. -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 1:16 PM, Dianne Hackborn

The way you reach your conclusion from your premises is so illogical, you are casting doubt on your own ability to think logically enough to be a competent programmer. The real reason Dianne has quite a following is because she really does know Android extremely well, having been at the center of

You are misinterpreting the tag line. It is not because she only answers when convenient, it is because both the question and the answer belong in a public forum, best of all this one, so that it becomes part of the public knowledge base. This is SUCH a common meme in open source software, I am

As I read your reply, I somehow remember the saying of Ben Franklin from his Wit and Wisdom, Quarrels would be neither bitter nor long, if on one side -only-, lay the wrong. This is because, yes, Shane did not need to be rude. But even after having defended Dianne's answer in another post, I now

Hi all, I appreciate people jumping to me defense, but this is really not necessary. To be honest, Shane's reply was so tame compared to other discussions I've had that it didn't even register to me as rude. (And to be clear, I am not telling people absolutely to not do something, I just try

You only have to say it once -- if you get it right. This you have yet to do. 'Environment' has too many different meanings, all of which make sense in this context, few, if any justify your assertions, none your impatience. On Mar 1, 9:25 am, Shane Isbell shane.isb...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue,

Greg, reading fail. There's a difference between she's only the one who... and she's the only one who... Without Dianne's team, Android wouldn't be. Shane, the advice (from Google team or anyone else) is trying to coach you into a sustainable design. You can write whatever compiles, but the

None of that matters... It's just a simple matter of etiquette. When asking for help you don't have to be rude if you don't like the answer. And if you feel it doesn't apply then great... don't apply it! The OP could just as easily have said Thanks for the advice Dianne, but in my case this
