Hehe, that's nothing. A friend and I once made "James Bong", with all kinds of fancy stuff on it. Peatier cooling, Styrofoam insulation, thermometer, flowmeter and valves to keep it from spilling when tipped over. Unfortunately, small valves and dirty water doesn't mix very well, and it tended to clog a lot
I use it for wikipedia and other searches (not the button itself, though, just an emulation of it), because I don't find wikipedias own search engine good enough. I just type "wi $searchword" in the address line, and there I am.
3) I rather like subsidizing. The phone companies here are required to state the minimum total cost in their adds, so you can easily see if you're getting ripped off. In the case I stated earlier I paid $50 extra for my phone, but for that I basically got six months of free calling (since I don't use all of my free minutes) Of course if subsidizing isn't your thing, all phones are available without it (even US-imported iPhones).
4) I mean in Europe..50$/MB is too much for me, and unlimited plans are hard to come by. I think 3 is the only company offering it here (approx 60$, depending on speed), and if you get outside their coverage they'll screw you for over 1$/MB
I'm a European (from Denmark, specifically) , and from what I know about how the US system works, I'm happy it's not that way here.
First off, you are not charged if someone calls you (except if you're in another country). Second, there are no "branded" phones that artificially limits what you can do to it. Third, a lot of subsidized phones. My phone will cost me around 500$ with all expenses, and on top of that I get ~700min/month for six months (oh, and the max. vendor-lock time here is six months). If I were to buy the phone without subsidization it would have been ~$450
For the landline premium, I agree it sucks. But instead of not calling to a mobile, most people just stop calling from a landline. Another downside is that data is quite expensive, about.50$/MB (btw, what do you mean by 700+ mins of unlimited calling?)
Perhaps I should mail them about this omission? Yeah, you better do that. And don't forget to whine and bitch when they don't include it. Maybe you could make a big anti-WND-site and make a public outcry every year, just to give them a taste of their own medicine.
That could be funny, but the language isn't evolved by a central authority, but by a lot of people. So it's constantly getting forked, making version numbers useless.
I think the Mersenne Twister (and others) are only pseudo-random, meaning that you have to find a random number to start it, and then it starts to spew out random numbers (seemingly). If you have the seed and the number of times it ran, you can "predict" the next number.
This method, and others (Geiger counters, clocks and mic inputs) are typically used to make the seed-number for a Mersenne Twister.
enough to light a 100-watt bulb for seven hours, according to NASA Great thing we have NASA to make these insanely hard calculations, I would never have figured that out by myself
Except (AFAIK) you need to have certified you equipment for radio transmission. And since you've physically hacked your phone, my guess is the Apple certification doesn't count anymore.
I think they will have trouble proving that you did it. Car analogy: Just because your car crashed into a bank doesn't mean you did it.
Anyone who, at some point, have had access to your data (think support workers, iPod thieves, etc.) could have spread them.
'Somehow'? How, exactly? Your mp3 player / laptop getting stolen, for example.
And technical support fixing your machine (I think i've seen a story like that here on slashdot, but i'm too lazy to look it up).
Basically any time you let your data into the hands of others.
But Nokia still gotta cough up with 43M new batteries. And they can't use whatever spares they have lying around, as they're likely to be affected, too. that has to take up some labour (and time)

Plus, I suspect it's kinda hard to fake dates in there, so you'd have to plan for this years in advance. Whatever job is worth that, I want it.
Yeah, those cups suck, they're twice as large as they need to be.

No, lying is what us normal people do. Willful deception is only for marketing executives, lawyers and politicians.

They should make a filter that required you to provide world peace, cure cancer or something. Put all that horny teen energy to some use

Excuse me, but why the hell did you test for that in the first place? Was the computer just dead weight to hold the NIC in place?
