Hey, once I got the hang of it I loved Lisp! Ooo, the fun I had with that parenthetical language...

Ha, didn't see that linux dude's post. Oh well:
Enough.
Microsoft has to add in compatibility instructions for older programs.
Now, to the good Darius2006:
First off, there was the suggestion of Nokia reps spending online time with the community. That's a laugh. While corporations do watch the online community, do we see many actually spending time with us? What's that? No? Yet we have developer support anyway? Huh?
The hardware itself is Nokia's. As far as the Debian-based ARM distribution that is so "buggy" goes, you're wrong. It can be installed on any other arm-based device that allows you to flash/install your own OS on with tweaks to accommodate for the target platform's hardware. Maemo, X.org, Linux, and almost all of the software under it belong to the community under the GNU GPL. Don't like it? Pick up C. Too dumb to pick up C? Pick up a stick and wack at it and hope it'll work.

I do have a problem about the number of individual repositories. In my own opinion, we should have unified repositories mirrored in different places over every little repository for every little thing. It's ridiculous.
Enough.

Examples:
- We're breaking binary compatibility with the newest OS.
- We're breaking binary compatibility with our new OS. Again. Any developers left?

- you must mean s/sentence/paragraph/ ?
- force of habit (from an old TECO, Convergent Technologies CTOS & Dynix user)...
- my use of ellipsis is worse...
