high number of commits can be one indicator of "goodness"

but consider an unsolvable problem that tempts developers, yet stumps them at the same time. they could all commit a solution thinking it's the right one, yet nobody actually solves a problem.

not saying this about BSD ... obviously, but: high number of commits is not a very good metric besides indicating that people are committing.

> There is no more hardware back button on any recent android phone either...

Any?

While the Galaxy Nexus has onscreen navigation controls now (and the Nexus7 followed suit), both the One X and the Samsung Galaxy SIII have dedicated capacitive back buttons "off screen". On the OneX the button is in the normal place (on the left) and is oddly (but in keeping with the SII) on the right on the SIII.

i can confirm this too. 3 private message threads from 2009-2010 were on my wall with the privacy set to "friends". these were conversations right out of my private messages (which were also in my private messages).

i'm deleting every facebook message as a result of this, which isn't easy as it has to be done one by one.

i am in the US, but my UK friends are the ones who alerted me to it, as it was happening to them as well.

> Kind of like when you see a fake Rolex from 20 inches away and it looks pretty good, but then you look up close and suddenly one little flaw makes the whole thing fall apart.

The crystal on a Rolex sticks up above the bezel as well.
