Please explain to me the "male privilege", especially as related to education.
I remember my senior year of high school. Out of the the hundreds of college scholarships that were offered, only 10% of them were applicable to white males. We don't all come from families that owned land and people, mind you.
Weird that you replied to my post with this problem. I have this same (or similar) problem with my Explorer. Did the OD light start blinking or stay on? Mine does this, and turning the truck off and back on fixes it. The bad part is that it only gets worse, and now I'm lucky to get to work without it kicking in. I've had it not want to shift out of second a few times, but usually it just doesn't want to downshift when accelerating, meaning you have to floor it just to get moving from a stop.
It's apparently a sensor issue, and it only gets worse. From what I've researched, it also means a new transmission to fix, at least that's what they'll tell you. I haven't found anyone locally that can fix the sensor.

I'm assuming by the time we need to upgrade firmware or software on our refrigerators, toasters, coffee makers, and toilets that they'll all be sentient and just do it themselves.
How sure of that app are you? Have you been comparing it with what AT&T says you're using? Try dialing *3282# and see what the text message you get says. I'm willing to bet it's a *lot* more than 200mb, especially if you've been uploading images (assuming they aren't tiny).
Furthermore, people were originally angry because this throttling wasn't being applied to people necessarily going over their limits, it was people in the "top 5% of data usage", whatever that means. And there isn't a way for an app to tell you that, hence the outrage.
That game needs access to your dialer so that it can be paused whens someone calls you. I agree that the warning is misleading, and I believe it's something the Android developers are working on.
Who said I was grumpy. Also my comment was in response to "Why get married if you aren't planning to combine anything?" which is just a silly notion to begin with.
I get that it's nice to have it built into the system, but a lot of you guys are acting like it's just not available on Windows. It has been for a very, very long time thanks to third-party tools.
"When will people start to care about paying for low quality products when hight quality ones are free?"
I'm not really sure you've used Windows recently. Windows 7 is a hell of a lot more stable and usable on random hardware than some of the distros I've tried recently (namely Ubuntu and Fedora, although I blame Unity and Gnome 3). Not to mention I can run everything I need to get my work done out of the box with very little hassle.
Look, I wish I could use Linux as my primary OS. I really do. Most of my work is done in a MinGW Bash shell. I use Git. I'd prefer to be using Linux. But at the end of the day, I have deadlines. And those deadlines don't give me time to screw with shit to get it working as smoothly as it does in Windows.

Wrong. While the Android update situation is dismal, most Android users don't have to upgrade because their phone is already doing what they want it to. iPhone users typically have the extra money laying around to upgrade a phone without a contract extension. After all, you can't maintain your status with last year's model.

"Can't run" and "No update available" are two different things. OG Droids are capable of running ICS just fine. The problem lies with carriers / manufacturers sucking at releasing updates.

The family is supposedly pinching pennies, and yet they're worried about their kid's Minecraft server? Seriously?
"while others don't enjoy being the subject of stares"
Bullshit.

Who cares? Best Buy will be gone by next year anyway.
But guys, who is going to make our tools (not toys) now?
Oh, that's right. Everyone else is making tools that are also toys. My bad.
The data isn't unlimited, either.

"Autodesk Sketchbook, GarageBand, iMovie, iPhoto, the iWork suite and a couple games."
All of which were created by someone sitting at a keyboard.
Someone either doesn't know what Steam is, or is trolling, or both.
These idiots need to invest in infrastructure. This "people using mobile data" problem isn't going away.

Fleshlight app? They make those now? Awesome.

Then the question answers itself, doesn't it?
If the joint account represents the joint partnership, and that partnership goes bye-bye, the so does the account.
However, despite the partnership, you're still a person. Why would you give up that identifier in the first place?
Who said I was grumpy. Also my comment was in response to "Why get married if you aren't planning to combine anything?" which is just a silly notion to begin with.
This discussion is tiring. I'd like a pre-nap right now.
Cute, but it still doesn't make sense to not think about things like this.
Same reason you don't share the same ID with your spouse. Accounts identify YOU as a single person.
Are you really this ignorant, or are you just trolling?
I'm not really trying to sound like an ass, but if you merged your email addresses, you're on your own.
Foresight. Use it.
Can we let this asshole die already?
I thought Tesla was going under or something. If they aren't, then why haven't they?
This.

Yet it still lacks 4G or a MicroSD slot.
