D3 is not a single player game. while some people may choose to not interact with others is is not possible* to create a character that is unable to interact with the online world of D3. they will always have access to the auction house, join other games, & get achievements.
the fact that you think the game should have a single player mode, doesn't mean it does.
*if it were, playing any such character would not require a battle.net account.
Plus it's a bit of a strawman there as you were never supposed to take a real word and substitute 0s and such in, that's never been an accepted practice for as long as I can remember.
back in the real world: upon password creation, it is always accepted by the system, and therefore generally what people use so that they can remember it.
actually most people don't bother with substitution they just capitalise the first letter & add the required characters at the end - which is usually just a number. whenever they are required to change password by the system they increase the number by one.
although - if 'correcthorsebatterystaple' were a standard password creation method, a brute force using a decent dictionary would be quite plausible.
my stated assumption was that people with tablets generally own smartphones.
carriers can't restrict/overcharge tethering in Australia, and i was under the impression the case was the same in the U.S (as part of the Open access provisions on the 700MHz C Block spectrum.)
Back in July Verizon was supposed to drop objections to the 11 tethering apps it had pulled from the android marketplace
NFC is usefull on a tablet because 1. not all smartphones have NFC. And 2. NFC has uses that make it worthwile on every mobile device one person owns as opposed to just needing one device with NFC.
cellular connection is not all that usefull as all* smartphones have both a cellular connection and can be used as a hotspot, therefore there is only the need to for 1 device with cellular connection per person.
to recap -
NFC: 1.usefull on all devices a person owns & 2. Not available on all smartphones. Cellular Connection: 1: only required on one device a person owns(as long as that can be shared) & 2. available on all* smartphones(to be shared)
*there may be current smartphones that can't be used as a hotspot but i don't know of any.
just because metal is more expensive than plastic, doesn't mean it is better for all purposes. what advantage does a metal housing for a phone have over a plastic one?
in my opinion, plastic is a superior material for the job due to being lighter, non-conductive(not interfering with NFC or other antennas inside the device) and not requiring an outer layer of paint - which is more susceptible to scratches, which are more obvious.
not all phones have NFC so it could still be useful for Paypass/unlocking things e.t.c. *although i personally wouldn't want to get a tablet out to do these things - wallet/security cards would be easier.
also NFC is 2 way communication so is also good for transferring content and has many other uses
And I'm sure Google Maps is just great without 3G coverage...that none of the Nexus 10's have
luckily i can quite easily use my phone which has 3G coverage as a wi-fi hotspot. i'd be surprised if there are any smartphones that can't do this out of the box. id also be surprised if many people who owned a tablet didn't have a smartphone.
as i cant ever see a time anyone would have their tablet and not their phone - i don't understand the purpose of having 3G in a tablet. why pay for two 3G services when you can just have both devices use the one?
it's more like saying the Ugandan olympic team isn'tdominating because the british soccer team - in their prime averaged twice as many goals as them, the current south african boxer is better than theirs, and the norweigan runner is faster than theirs.
i would believe your failure comes from assuming that if windows has a market share of 75%+ and samsung sells more smartphones, then it must have a market share of at least 75%.
windows is not a smartphone manufacturer. it is an operating system for PCs, tablets and phones.
windows and samsung could both have 100% market shares in their areas at the same time.
i generally won't install any app that needs more than 5 or so different permissions so that's pretty much a max of 5 popups i would see in the lifetime of using each app.
i'd kind of prefer if stock android did this, even better would be sending apps fake info so they didn't know what was disabled and couldn't 'punish' users for disabling permissions. i read somewhere above that other roms allow the fake info thing. i just haven't bothered putting CM on my s3 yet.
All apps should have network access. It's a smart phone. I find it pointless to even ask that question.
most of the apps i have shouldn't need network access - emulators(no online multiplayer), various games, flashlight, alarm clock, screen transparency. others only require network access for features that some people may not care about (camera, music player, other games e.t.c.) and liter versions wouldn't need it.
i could think of features to add that may use network (uploading photos when picture is taken,identifying objects in pictures e.t.c.)
no it doesn't, but it is still evidence. evidence being the thing that you use to determine if something is factual or not.
it appears the behavior you refer to of asking users for access per-permission is a brand new feature only available in iOS6, which was released in September of this year.
in security current features are more important than previous trends. in fact the only real purpose of previous trends is to help gauge unknown potential threats. unless you're trying to decide whether to by a pre-3GS iPhone ot an original iPad (so in other words devices that are no longer sold) then security flaws in pre-iOS6 are of little relevance.
iOS6 permissions settings are a good feature and one that i hope comes to stock android soon.
that being said - i've personally never had a problem with security in android. the fact that it tells me before installing an app what settings it uses has been good enough for me.
pubs, clubs, certain workplaces, planes(yes you can use your phone onall planes, some even to make calls), trains, buses or trams do not always have powerpoints available for personal use.
1. noone's punishing him for a thought crime (or at all). 2. if two people wish to commit the same evil act, yet only one has the opportunity - they are both as evil, the person who has not had the opportunity should not be punished, but it doesn't make them any better. 3. both parties are guilty of and have been involved in what O.P. was stating - original quote:
Every time I see this kind of thing it just confirms that the biggest threat to peace and the ones creating racial intolerance and hatred are the US Government.
there is no mention of drone strikes at all that is something you have added.
if the U.S. Governement does something that both parties support it would be more correct to use the term 'U.S. Govt.' than one specific party. unless you're trying to sway political opinion.
if you don't try to sue them first you do. Apple is the only company they've sued over a phone. at the time that they sued them regarding FRAND patents they were not owned by Google
so Motoroogle has not in fact ever sued anyone regarding FRAND-pledged patents.
but you know, why let the truth get in the way of a good argument.

There was nothing about morons on Twitter in that statement
that's the thing about context. once it's been established you don't need to repeat everything.
No
or maybe it was because one was about operating systems and the other was about smartphones.
oh wait, just maybe it could be the similarities and not the differences that causes the connection in ones mind.

if it doesn't auto-update due to permission changes, you can see the new permissions it requires before deciding to update
i generally won't install any app that needs more than 5 or so different permissions so that's pretty much a max of 5 popups i would see in the lifetime of using each app.
i'd kind of prefer if stock android did this, even better would be sending apps fake info so they didn't know what was disabled and couldn't 'punish' users for disabling permissions. i read somewhere above that other roms allow the fake info thing. i just haven't bothered putting CM on my s3 yet.

oh, but you get an evil! I forgot. it's all horrible if you get an evil.
just 'cause this is the internet doesn't mean you can just make stuff up.
in my hypothetical scenario i would think the stick would be in the middle. of the child's rectum.
i'm sure there are peacefull people who associate with Obama who are against drone strikes too.yet you seem happy to lump them all together.
