It may be safe to eat, but there are other issues with GMO food than that. Setting loose genes in the environment for other organisms to pick up for example. Or patent issues with companies like Monsanto. Those are much less decided by science.
OK, this puts the whole story in a different light. So someone makes a Whatsapp rip with more features, asks money for it and then adds malware to it to battle piracy. And now he whines because Whatsapp responds to this by banning his client from their servers. After the malware stunt, Whatsapp could do little else I think. Rafalense blew it himself.
I would have liked a more open protocol, on the other hand I can understand why they would like an own protocol which they can extend when needed without the need to wait for some commitee. I agree it woukd be better if they opened it up anyway. And of course they store the messages temporary - but still e2e encrypted if both users use Android. Since Moxie from Textsecure worked with them I do have some trust in the encryption. Of course, one could always try to decompile the Android apk to check - that's how the WhatsAppPlus maker got his "source code" as well.
"Mistake two - it requires the current WhatsApp client for Android, Blackberry or Windows Phone"
Or Symbian, that one also works. But this is necessary - ubnless some other messengers, WhatsApp does not store yoyr messages on their servers for the NSA, FBI or DEA to grab. They are only stored on your phone, and when both participants use Android they are also e2e encrypted. You NEED your phone to acces those messages because that's the only place where they are, and I prefer it that way too.
Either this verification is cracked (a first attempt seems to be made already by the builder of WhatsApp MD) and then all the other clients start working again, or they'll have to switch to another network.
Huh? In this case, if I root I can edit/etc/hosts to reroute some domain names to localhost. AdFree puts all known adser ers i there. Wether an app or the browser tries to load an ad from such a server it won't load. Of course, patching the apk with Lucky Patcher prevents the app to try to load the ads completely, which might result in a better batery time.
To brick the device is quite difficult (if you don't do it on purpose). Usually you can always reflash the original firmware. To end up in a bootloop, however, is easy and quite scary if you've never done this kind of stuff before.
Only for the browser, which is not the main source of ads on Android. Apps like AdFree block adservers on hosts level, removing most ads from apps as well. For the remaining apps there is of course Lucky Patcher to get rid of the ads.
I mean, in Europe you don't pay if someone else calls you. So there is a common trick if some salesperson calls you "oh, one moment please", put the phone somewhere and check 30 minutes later if they are still on the line (usually not). Costs them money and time, not you.
And on mobile phones you have programs to block numbers from phoning and smsing. Much easier than regulations.
They do: they deliver what the people want, just like tobacco firms or the breweries. That governments don't like it is increasingly less important in this time period.

Indeed. Didn't Einstein say that a good physicist is lazy: instead of doing tedious calculations the smart physicist finds a way to do them faster. He once (half-jokingly I guess) wrote that he did an important invention when he started using what is now known as the summation convention: to add equall co/contravariant indices on tensors. Saves one writing the sumation symbols and makes the equations much more clear.
What use are those characters anyway? You don't need funny accents on letters to play Nethack. 7 bits should be enough for any character set! Hardcore hackers who want a workaround can just use LaTeX codes.
Even when they make the upgrade available for my device (planned in march I heard) I won't upgrade untill the XPosed framework is properly functioning on Android 5. And I want to be sure it's rootable. XPosed (with XPrivacy) is too important for me, and indeed 4.4 is running goog enough. I don't care about the new look.

That much? Must be a Samsung with their bloat running. Root it and freeze some of those apps with Titanium Backup.
Does this mean that there now exists a universal root method for all Android = 4.3? And it won't even be patched. That would be great!

Most Android phones can easily create a wifi hotspot so you only need one device with a data plan.

Scientists are supposed to know anything about the subjects they vote on. Legislaters are not, and do not in practice.
Those laws allow for such large inaccuracies (aka safety margins) that the inaccuracies of Newtonian physics are neglegible.
Yes, but the rising trend does not seem to lead to the predicted disasters.
I'll just wait for Axanar to finish filmong. That looks at least really awfull from the trailer they released.

There are apps to fix those issues on 4.4, like SDfix. You do need root for those (as for everything interesting).
Yes, root the phone, install Titanium Backup and freeze the update tool. I had to do the same on my Sony.

But it is 3DES-CBC not DES-CBC. He seems unaware of the difference between DES and 3DES.
Legimate? Not really. I quote:
1. 3des-cbc ...
Security of the cipher algorithm: This eliminates 1 and 10-12 - both DES and RC4 are broken.
I have absolutely no trust in the cryptographic opinion of someone who clearly doesn't know the difference between DES and 3DES.
