I'm in the same boat with AT&T and a year old S5 Active. But I can tell you this, I regularly get samsung security updates to ensure I'm not doing anything naughty to my phone.
Sort of, not really an oil. It's a drivitive of Fluorinert which was developed by 3M and used extensively on Cray systems. The problem remains, once you have component failure you impart carcinogens into the fluid making it highly toxic. The other problem with this stuff is the price. Originally priced around $2K a litre (systems usually used hundreds of gallons), and now I've heard pricing down to $150/litre and some times cheaper. In any case it's neat looking stuff when you get to watch it boil away http://www.unixgr.com/wp-conte...
Comcast and CenturyLink are the only two viable players in my area and neither provide native IPv6 addressing (even though I've requested it from my current provider comcast many times). So I'm still forced to use the he.net tunnel that I setup 15 years ago or so when they first started offering them (after 6bone closed up shop because testing was through), and even with this, I'm forced to disable auto provisioning of IPv6 addresses because various problems with access to IPv6 web pages / services, etc.. With auto provisioning enabled, the wife was constantly complaining about her facebook and instragram apps not connecting (which is no surprise since these services advertise IPv6 addresses and yet have a horrible fucking track record when it comes to reliable connectivity.
Anyways, the problem with IPv6 isn't the address space, it's the lack of stable services within the address space, and the on going failure of major ISP's to roll out addresses.
I stopped shopping there long ago because they stopped stocking anything useful. I don't need a cellphone from them, I needed parts, which they no longer carry.
The premise of this article is flawed. The biggest problem with the current electorate is low voter turn out? No, the problem is uneducated voters voting. If anything we have too many idiots casting ballots on issues they've learned about through entertainment tonight or TMZ.
With all the constant trouble I, and many others had with the pre order system, I decided to ditch these guys. Their customer service was not great, and to screw up the most basic part of any business (taking peoples money), I decided my best bet was to just get raped by one of the big 4, and buy a contract phone.
Sadly, I was looking forward to this phone for quite a while, but I'm tired of the mistakes and gimmicks for what amounts to last years phone.
I find my new touch screen laptop reasonably good. I do find I use the touch screen portion of it on applications (mostly html5) frequently. Though the finger prints on the screen still piss me the $#%@ off.;)
Sometimes they're just too many people and too much traffic. As a member of the HPC community I attend the annual super computing trade shows hosted in various cities each year. Each year the SCinet network infrastructure team does everything they can to build out and improve the hardware and software infrastructure at these venues. Mind you, these are extremely well funded and talented people who "know how to get it done right". Yet every year within the 3 blocks of the convention centers you barely get a functional cell phone link, let alone functional wireless or even wired connection to the intertubes.
As someone who helped build this machine, I'm surprised that this is even news worthy. What did people think happened when older machines were replaced with newer technology? It's not like the older machine is tossed in the recycling bin. They're always sold off, sometimes parted out to scrappers (who resell the parts through various channels) as well as complete systems which go to smaller HPC facilities. This has been happening since the first days of mainframe systems. The only cases where this is the exception is when you look at highly secure sites (usually government) which tend to run the machines through shredders "just to be sure" they're not leaking sensitive information.
Such abuses of government are common place amongst the top dogs in any industry. This guy, is undoubtedly seeking government assistance is making it harder for smaller operators to enter the market. By raising taxes he effectively makes it harder for anyone but the biggest companies in the market to succeed. It's despicable and is one problem with our form of capitalism, where government is used as a tool to keep others out of the market.

Agreed. It's sciency not science, and could easily be categorized as a religion.

Wish I had mod points to mod you up
Actually in colder climates water sublimates. And to the GP's point, one of the driest parts of the world is in polar regions.
Need I say more?

I read some place recently that 25% or so of federal high way spending is on non transportation related items.

Just like my brand new core i7 xps13 to sleep properly and not whine like a stuck pig when the right internal speaker is plugged in.

There is no such thing as a temporary tax.

I see what you did there =)
I think they're a lot less common than you assume. There has to be supply as well because we're still talking about serious power here.

What you're describing is welfare. Why does this have to be mixed up in the tax system? We already have countless welfare programs.
At least it's considerably cheaper than the stupid PPACA exchanges.
He's no blaming poor people. It's clear that he's blaming failure of government policy.

But still enough to maintain control of it? Your logic makes no sense.
What numbers are you looking at? As of today, -2.9% GDP and getting worse.
Mod parent insightful!
