I'm guessing you're the typical bleeding heart who doesn't think people should be punished for their crimes.
i actually believe the only rational response to a crime(including one that has not yet been committed) are to deter people from committing said crime (and thus prevent it happening). this can take two forms: 1) punishment of individuals who commit said crime - for the sole purpose of preventing others from committing the crime or the criminal from re-offending/committing other crimes. 2) education(for people that have not yet committed crimes)/rehabilitation(for those that have) - so that all people can learn to function in society without committing crimes. in the case of rehabilitation - the person should either be removed from active society(i.e. jail/psych ward e.t.c.) or monitored until it is no longer deemed necessary (i.e. large threat no longer exists)
so no, i do not believe in punishment for the sake of "you are evil therefore you will suffer"/Revenge. This quite obviously serves no purpose and anyone that does believe this to be appropriate is a complete idiot in my opinion.
Lastly, you're adding additional information via brackets around the operators.
i was unaware there were rules against providing too much information when trying to teach an alien race how we communicate (apart from the DNA structure of raptors)
i also never had that problem. i would consider that a massive drawback in unlocking if it had ever happened to me ( i have an s3 at the moment and have never needed 2 hands to unlock)
Funny that you seem to be the only one with this opinion. not even he himself claims that he didn't think he was asked to provide details of all cases, he only claims claimed there was a limitation of 10 years on the question. that 10 year thing has now been proven false.
OK, it wasn't just a push. It was a long press to unlock, long press to speed dial. Still pretty optimal.
i'd rather sequentially press two buttons than hold 1 button. i used to have gesture unlock which was even easier and had some security but i haven't bothered with cyanogen yet on my current phone and android doesn't have it natively (I dont count the stupid pattern unlock)
But if your comparison includes comparing HP support plus separate Windows support to Apple support (hardware and OS)
i have been using windows my whole life. i haven't needed to pay for support since about 11 years ago. and that was because i was in my early teens at the time and fried my motherboard . it's not because i upgrade my hardware all the time - i have purchased two PCs since then - 1 because my old one wouldn't run any new games. and then another one because i was moving out so figured i'd leave the other one behind for my family. it's not because i format/re install windows all the time - i haven't done so once since i installed 7 not long after it came out. the last time any 'serious' maintenance was required was for my old pc i left behind. the 'serious' maintainence was due to the hard drive being old and starting to fail (stopped windows from booting) all i needed to do was run whatever recovery tools were on the windows install disk.
plus the cost and quality of included software
you should probably then also count the cost and quality of available software - especially free software (although this gap seems to be closing.)
Because Abu Hamza [wikipedia.org] has only one country which has to approve his extradition (instead of two in the case of Assange), has few fans (compared to Assange, who according to polls has on the order of hundreds of millions), was trying to *set up terrorist training camps inside the US* (instead of leaking videos and cables), has no "get out of extradition free" card from being charged with an intelligence-related crime (Swedish law bans extradition for intelligence matters), and on and on... and he's *still* in the UK.
So your argument against the belief that he is only being extradited to Sweeden so that he can then be sent to the U.S. is to present evidence of how difficult is is to get someone extradited directly from the U.K to the U.S.?
And we're supposed to worry about Julian F'ing Assange and his paranoid fantasyland? Especially after this [guardian.co.uk]?

When the state of Pennsylvania got sued over their new voter ID laws, they acknowledged in-person voter fraud has never been a problem [firedoglake.com]
no they didn't, according you your link they simply haven't investigated any individual cases of it. it would be kinda hard to investigate being that - they don't know who actually turned up to vote.
without showing any ID to vote then anyone could go in and vote. like me, an Australian who has never even lived in your country and has no plans to.

Jews are one of smallest groups in the world, Muslims one of the biggest.
Jews don't hijack aircraft.
if you want to compare entire races you might want to read up on Igrun you'll find them in the wiki page regarding The History of terrorism
Irgun sought to aggressively defend Jews from Arab attacks. Its tactic of attacking Arab communities, including the bombing a crowded Arab market, is considered among the first examples of terrorism directed against civilians.
From later in the same page:
Lehi (Lohamei Herut Yisrael, a.k.a. "Freedom Fighters for Israel", a.k.a. Stern Gang) was a revisionist Zionist group that splintered off from Irgun in 1940
and then:
After Israel's 1948 founding, Lehi was formally dissolved and its members integrated into the Israeli Defense Forces
see, it's easy to pick any race and make them all out to be the bad guys.
Muslims are fleeing muslim controlled countries, then trying to convert their new country to be run the same way.
you've never met a Muslim who's actually fled their home country have you? hell i'd bet 50/50 you've never had a real conversation with one of Islamic faith. everyone i know certainly does not want to turn this country into something like where they came from (hint: there's a reason they fled.) generally those with enough power who's anti-west statements you hear did not need to flee their home country, and those on the streets inciting violence are just lapping up what they say (and like do not know what their hometowns are like)
they can be heard. in fact unless yo live in one of the countries that has requested by law this video be taken down, you'll still be able to see it on youtube. unless you are saying google should ignore local laws and decide for itself what it can and cant do.
Things like the closest approximation they have to Visual Voicemail, Google Voice, involve the automatic indexing of your communications.
it has to be indexed somewhere, either the carrier is going to do it for you in which case you could install the applicable app or you are going to need to rely on a third party, something google is offering as an additional option via google voice.
The stock email client is actually quite unpleasant and featureless even compared to iOS's rather spartan client
what's "stock" on your phone would depend on the manufacturer (and in some cases carrier.) if you don't like the stock option then you are free to install one of the many alternatives
I have more devices and more cables that use a 30-pin dock connector than micro USB, so that's a pretty standard cable to me that I have at home, work, friend's houses, in my bag, etc.
unless you plan on buying a bunch of new adaptors they're not going to be particularly usefull for an iPhone 5.
The fact that it has double the pins of a USB 2.0 connector does indicate that there's more going on there, and there seems to theoretically be enough pins available for USB 3.0 if they should choose to implement that in the future.
not sure if it really has double or if this is just so you can stick it in either way around. either could be the case though.they could make it 3.0 compatible in the future however that would only work on future devices that could handle that.
i'll take being able to use the standard cables that i have at home, work, parents/friends houses, or in my bag (being standard you tend to collect a few) over being able to plug it in any way. specially being that nearly all cables have a picture on the "top" of the connector so it's not particularly difficult to tell which way it goes in.
USB 2.0 is fast enough for anything a phone will need.you can stream HD and transfer an entire album in less than a minute. also from what i can find the iphone 5 and the new cable only support usb 2.0 speeds.
if you mean universal as in not related to google then you're actually making it less universal by removing the ability to link your id with other services such as gmail, gchat, google+ e.t.c. if you mean universal as in - also across non-android devices, that would require owners of other OS's to agree and also some way to work out what happens when someone buys a product from one app store and wants to use those apps on another device e.g. i buy a game on google play but then switch to an iPhone, as i have already purchased the game with my universal id i should then be able to get it for free on the apple app store (otherwise what would be the point of it being universal) however how does apple get their cut from the app? other issues for contacts would be that someone would have to store/own all your information for your universal ID which would then need to be shared accross all required parties.
although, i have seen comments from you since i first started reading this site. are you like the original user? before other users i guess they didn't need to number you.
actually reading through it it's not that bad a complaint. i first looked at the pictures and just laughed but when i read the complaints under each picture it made a bit more sense. indivdually none of them really hold a lot. particularly 1b & 3a - there's not really any other angle to show those from & hall of mirrors is pretty much a staple in any carnival scene, specially a horror based one.
combining 7 & 9 or even 4a and 10 it seems reasonable that he could feel they stole his ideas. specially if it's something he worked a lot on and poured his heart & soul into.
note: i haven't read the comic or seen the series nor do i endorse his suing, i'm just saying it doesn't seem obviously unreasonable.
capitilization can be considered a part of punctuation (although some may not consider it to be) but one would not be wrong to class incorrect capitilization as incorrect punctuation

I'm guessing you're the typical bleeding heart who doesn't think people should be punished for their crimes.
i actually believe the only rational response to a crime(including one that has not yet been committed) are to deter people from committing said crime (and thus prevent it happening).
this can take two forms:
1) punishment of individuals who commit said crime - for the sole purpose of preventing others from committing the crime or the criminal from re-offending/committing other crimes.
2) education(for people that have not yet committed crimes)/rehabilitation(for those that have) - so that all people can learn to function in society without committing crimes.
in the case of rehabilitation - the person should either be removed from active society(i.e. jail/psych ward e.t.c.) or monitored until it is no longer deemed necessary (i.e. large threat no longer exists)
so no, i do not believe in punishment for the sake of "you are evil therefore you will suffer"/Revenge. This quite obviously serves no purpose and anyone that does believe this to be appropriate is a complete idiot in my opinion.

And it has been suggested that some of these confrontations were the result of habitat loss (caused by humans).
ahh so they only go to war if there's an issue with limited resources.
so as soon as us humans can stamp that out we won't have an issue either.
I'm not aware of any other species who go to war (I'm defining war as lethal group violence within a species).
I'm pretty sure ants do, possibly other insects as well. may depend on your definition of "species" though
