Speaking of heads and decapitation and Android ...
Put a gnu brain on that android body...
and what you'd have is a bloody unstoppable Hydra-droid-esque-monstrosity which you'd never be able to kill..
Sucker'd just grow more heads!

hehee
I'm all for an unstoppable-benign-juggernaut-of-an-os...
especially gnu-ey

Me.
All I want...is the ability to run as many different os's (preferably linux-ish) (and preferably rolling release ..too much to ask from Santa? ) and window managers on a handheld as possible....
that'll work decently of course ..
everything after that is just icing on the cake.
what's the adage?
"Heaven is options...Hell is one..or none..."
something like that.
It is simplistic.
I am grinding it down to fundamental basics...
but that was what originally lured me to the maemoan dark side way back when....
