I was going to respond to Christopher's thoughtful post about the differences between Android alternative ROM development and Linux distributions. It's a reasonable topic, worthy of discussion and thoroughly relevant to GTALUG. Then ... something happened. It didn't just derail the conversation, the whole train melted. Are there enough people still reading here to make a sane return to the original subject worthwhile? On 19 February 2015 at 15:08, David Collier-Brown <davec-b@rogers.com> wrote:

What do any of those have to do with VLIW?
No offence intended, but check your notes on DELTA vs. WYSE AC Power. I believe I have pontificated on this list about that quite enough in the last decade to correct YOUR errors Lennart.
You didn't even know what the centre tap is, so how could you be expected to understand dirty AC and the power's relationship to 64 bit ARCH, VLIW, UART, LSBinit, SGML, HTML, XML, dependency based booting in Debian, or why they are called script kittys, or the universe in near and far field effects, randomness and time modification in transmissions.
They apply equality to CISC and RISC as well, but at least those tend
to be designed to run real code generated by real compilers rather than imagined code generated by imagined magical compilers that don't exist.
Whatever exists in your imagination regarding real compilers and imagined magical ones are just another ponzi scheme of big oil money IT, apparently now centred in Alberta. The rest of us try to use a DELPHI consensus of experts, sort of a Canadian Intelligence Agency.
I cut my teeth on the IBM blue wire fix, no reason for me to jump ship now. I've been pushing for clean air and clean power in Toronto for a long time. God bless IBM for opening up their architecture when every one else was closing up shop. I wonder why they did that?
I might be premature but I believe a trusted compiler is in the works, it just needs some funding after the dirty power issue is cleaned up bit bya bit.
Regression testing is a bitch, but you do have to do it one tiny bit at a time. Believe me I spend a shit-load of time trying to fix up my own mistakes but the bosses won't let me, so I just have to eat them.
I think you win the price for the most incomprehensible message I have ever seen on this list.
None of what you wrote had anything to do with what you replied to.
