Not all preinstalled apps on my S4 mini can be disabled. And at random the phone pops up a screen asking me to approve an update to the Samsung software which I'm not willing to do because I'm not willing to concede the extra permissions it demands. Lots of the built-in apps won't work without the update, but they're apps I never use anyway. I'm worried it will catch me out one day by popping up the "OK" button right under where I was about to press.
Time for me to root the phone, I suppose, but I cant find out how to do it for the build I have.
Actually, the socialists over here are amongst the most vocal in opposing the ubiquitous monitoring. The lobby for the monitoring is from our equivalent of the Republicans who want a docile and obedient workforce so they can exploit us for profit.
No, but input characters that are handled in a non-standard way have everything to do with it. Don't just think of the last bug; think about what you can learn from it to avoid the next one.
Let me guess: you're into Agile development, but don't understand it well enough to know why black-box testing isn't enough for high-reliability applications.
I have the same problem. After going back to the opticians a few times, the solution I ended with was progressives that are great for long and middle distance (so good for driving and using the screen) but no use for reading or close-up work. For close-up I take my glasses off and hold the book/work a bit closer than I would have to with properly corrected vision.
I agree that no content from a public repo can be trusted, but at the moment I only use Git to pull from trusted private repos (which is probably a significant use case for people who are using Git in the workplace). That means yes, I need to update my Git client, but I don't need to sweat that I might already have been compromised by this vulnerability.

Er - that sounds more like Camden than The City. The City extends to the east of Temple; the Mall is to the west. Did you get your map of London from a Dan Brown book?
My defence against Americans criticising British coffee always used to be that the worst coffee I ever had was in a cafe in St. Petes, FLA. Then I had a coffee in a Starbucks at London Heathrow, and I was forced to concede to Americans that the worst coffee I ever had was indeed in Britain.:(
It's probably more than that. Criminalize everybody, and you can prosecute whoever you like without having to admit why you're really going after them.
1. Concorde wasn't discontinued due to passenger safety risks.

Because of the low fleet flight hours, that one accident gave it the worst safety record of that generation of aircraft. It was retired because it would have been too expensive to make it safe.
I, for one, will NEVER ride in or own a vehicle that does not have a steering wheel, foot-actuated throttle pedal, foot-actuated brake pedal, foot-actuated clutch pedal (where applicable), gear selector lever, etc. and I know I'm not alone in this
You never ride the subway, then? I don't think trains have steering wheels...
What has any of this got to do with the ontological argument? Or cosmology? And neither dualism nor (most forms of) idealism have anything to do with solipsism. Are you actually reading what I'm writing? Or just responding to what you wish I'd written? You said "materialism is based on physics". Ok, where's the empirical evidence that favours materialism over rival metaphysical positions, and how would materialism be scientifically falsifiable?
Er, no. How can you possibly base materialism (a metaphysical position) on physics? Materialism is (usually) an assumption of physics (some, though not many, physicists assume dualism instead). If you try to use physics to argue for materialism you have a circular argument; the most you can claim from that is that materialism and physics are consistent with each other. Which of course they are, that doesn't make materialism the only metaphysical position consistent with physics.

That would be nice. But my Samsung S4 Mini doesn't appear on the list of supported devices -- it's neither of the S4 Minis listed.
Well, the iPod Touch comes preloaded with a whole mass of crapware I don't want -- does the iPhone not have that?

Cameron sees the world of V for Vendetta as a utopia [1].
[1] Or rather, "Eutopia", for those who know the etymology.

Is this a variation on Rule 34? If it exists, someone is trying to tax it.

I want to avoid Google spying on me. Does the NSA have some servers I can use?

Libel, surely, not slander?
As does the US government, as Brits will discover if they've ever been arrested but never charged, and then try to travel to the USA.

Many women are able to borrow a friend's whenever they want to.
Whether you are measuring my height, fingerprint, penis size or whatever metric you come up with
Penis size is pretty useless as a biometric. It changes depending on the site being accessed.
Why didn't this come up with itself before now?
Jack of all trades, master of none.

Trust me -- whatever country you're in, the right side of the road is the opposite one to the oncoming traffic.

Driving too slow(eg the speed limit) in the passing lane or left most lane is extremely dangerous.
If you're going to drive slowly, the left lane is just the place to do it. You did notice that the article is about the UK, right?
(And I hope they do follow the rules of the road. That will include not pulling out at 65 mph into the path of a car doing 75 mph.)
