- why do the android versions have such silly names? -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 8, 06:36 8
  - because they are *geniuses*, and they don't at all care what you think....nm - x Sep 8, 06:48
  - Basically, for fun. It started with Cupcake and has progressed alphabetically with each version. - TWuG Sep 8, 06:45

        And I can't see myself installing anything named "Libre". That's just dumb :) -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 06:45 2
        
        Yeah, I think it needs a new name ... -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 8, 06:51

  - if I'm Baylor, though, I'm in no hurry to lift the challenge - if either OU or Texas leave, the Big 12 is done, so of course they're going to be left - prayformojo Sep 8, 05:09 8
    - Wherever OU goes, they take OSU with them. - Strongbad Sep 8, 05:17
    - Oh yeah...but that's what this is all about...making sure Baylor has some seat at a table when the bolting happens - Will Hunting Sep 8, 05:11 6

        Not quite....it is in-state....they do have the ability to drag the politicians into this much easier when it's intra-state. - Will Hunting Sep 8, 05:31 3
        
        They're grasping at straws and delaying the inevitable. - Strongbad Sep 8, 05:46 2
        
        Yeah, be that as it may, they could very well hold this up for a while -- nm - prayformojo Sep 8, 05:51 1
        
        A&M will be playing in the SEC in 2012. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 8, 06:05
