I remember when people thought a source tarball counted as a release.

Oh, I wish I could build from source. But building this beast is beyond the capacity of my machine in the time I have available.

have you tried compiling openoffice?

even gentoo ships binaries by default.

it makes what compiling Android (at least as described in this week's article) seem straightforward, simple and fast

I routinely do. Not impossible, just long: more than two hours (maybe
three) on a 2.4 GHz AMD Athlon 64 4600+, with 4 GB of DDR-1 RAM.

Not really. They have both binaries and source: the choice is, as usually,
up to the user.
