- Comment on How is Open Source developed paid? 2 months ago:
When I was doing a lot of custom ROMs on xda I had some guy supply a new phone to me to further develop on - this happened twice. It’s nice when it happens but it’s not why I was building ROMs

- Comment on I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. 4 months ago:

- Comment on American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse? 6 months ago:
here in NZ I’d say we are much more progressive than the states, although we have a centre right government at the moment.
