Except that I have an HTC Wildfire and there are plenty of bulky rear-panels to fit a larger battery. On the plus side, I don't have to dismantle my phone with special tools, battery is replaceable, hard to imagine, isn't it? So I usually have an extra battery and replace it if needed every second day. I charge the batteries with external charger only, that way my phone always stays mobile. Best thing is, if I'd ever want to do iPhone-style charging every night or so -- I still can.
They were prompted by a then-viable alternative to capitalism. Could not risk losing their capitals just because outraged workers have decided that they need a revolution and communism. After the collapse of Soviet Union the worker's conditions have been on a steady decline.
Shadowy government agent #1: "We need more oil. Let's invade Iraq."
Shadowy government agent #2: "We need an excuse first."
Agent #1: "OK - let's rig the Twin Towers with explosives, making sure none of the thousands of people who work there sees us doing it. Then let's brainwash some Saudis to hijack two planes and fly them into the towers. Then we'll set off the charges and collapse the buildings."
Agent #2: "Why bother with making sure the buildings collapse? Plenty of people will die when they fly planes into them. That should get the world on our side."
Agent #1 "Because there won't be enough people in on the conspiracy with just a simple kamikaze attack. We want to have hundreds of contractors, suppliers, demolition experts, security guards, fire department personnel, building supervisors, etc, etc to bribe to keep quiet for at least ten years."
Agent #2: "Um, OK. Shall we attack another building too?"
Agent #1: "Yes. Let's fire a cruise missile at the Pentagon during morning rush hour."
Agent #2: "Not in the middle of the night when no one would see it?"
Agent #1: "No."
Agent #2: "But there'll be lots of witnesses."
Agent #1: "Don't worry. We'll pay them all to say it was a Boeing 757. And we'll knock down some lampposts on the highway overpass too, because I've just realised a cruise missile doesn't have the same wingspan as a 757. Oh, and we'll confiscate some CCTV footage to make people think we're hiding something."
Agent #2: "But don't we always confiscate CCTV footage when we're investigating something?"
Agent #1: "Yes. But this time, for some reason, it'll be suspicious."
Agent #2: “But if we fire a cruise missile, that would leave a 757 unaccounted for.”
Agent #1: “No problem. We’ll just hijack one ourselves and fly it somewhere like Andrews Air Force Base or Area 51 or somewhere like that, dismantle it, kill all the passengers, burn the luggage and then transport all the wreckage to the Pentagon to scatter around as evidence.”
Agent #2: “I see.”
Agent #1: “Also, because the towers have a lightweight steel tube framework to allow them to sway in the wind, and the Pentagon is made of reinforced concrete, a lot of LiveLeak users will be confused by the different impact shapes. So they’ll be happy to believe in the cruise missile.”
Agent #2: “Um.”
Agent #1: “What’s up?”
Agent #2: “Why don’t we just, er, actually fly another plane into the Pentagon? I mean, by that stage people will already have seen two jumbo jets fly into the Twin Towers, so I don’t see the problem with using a third.”
Agent #1: “For Christ’s sake, how many times do I have to tell you? We want things as complicated as possible so clever people on the internet can spot the holes in our plans.”
Agent #2: “Ah, right.. Sorry. OK, I’ll go get the brainwashing machine and kidnap some Saudis, then we’re good to go.
Well, top 3 donators to Ron Paul are members of US Army, US Navy and US Air Force. Followed by Google and, for some reason, Microsoft. But you are correct on your assumptions about the banks - Goldman Sachs is a strong Obama supporter as well.
Which leaves Ron Paul. Although his ideas are somewhat extreme and by all means, unorthodox, he is the only one with the balls to veto SOPA. I don't know whether he'll really make it in case he gets elected, but all the others are not even pretending to oppose SOPA and NDAA.
No one's freedom of movement is being restricted, only the methods that they use to move. Like was said above, the letter of the law is upheld even if the spirit is not.
If you are forbidden to get to, say LA in two hours, only allowed to reach that city in 8 hours by train, then yes, it does restrict your freedom of movement. By your logic, if you are only allowed to crawl around without being subjected to a search, that too wouldn't restrict your freedom of movement, since you still can crawl to any destination you like. I would say, that the letter of the law isn't really upheld as well.
CyanogenMod's locker allows the usage of a gesture to unlock screen. Sure, most of the time you will be doing it centered, but not quite on the same spot.
I have a single handwritten symbol as my unlock gesture (without visible trace), but even if my colleagues watch closely as I swipe it, they cannot reproduce it good enough for my handy to unlock.
In a grand war, quantity is the quality. 1500 Spitfires will provide much better support for the troops on the ground than 10 F-22s. So the airfields for F-22s will be captured by land troops eventually. Side with Spitfires can ignore the few F-22s completely and just concentrate on supporting the ground assault.
Putting things in their mouth is more like a reflex, that's how small children learn about things they encounter. Depends on the child of course, but looking at something, touching it and tasting it are natural ways for a small child to learn about new object.
Took the test, would score 7 out of 10 with plenty of time left, but in 2 cases I took the right approach, but provided wrong answer because I did not understand what exactly was needed as an answer (e.g. understood the word slope wrong). I have never visited a US school nor is English my native tongue (second foreign language I have learned), otherwise I would most likely get 9 out of 10. Overall impression -- the test is pretty easy (also, USSR`s school system was second to none).
Do we really trying to terraform mars? Who are "we" then?
If there are active plans in motion to terraform mars, I personally welcome them. A planet is somewhat fragile against a cosmic disaster, it's better to have two in order to be able to preserve live in the universe (unless otherwise proven, I tend to assume that we are the only bearers of life theoretically capable of achieving the level of technology to survive without our home planet).
It would be nice to have a plan B and even nicer to be able to go and establish new ecosystem somewhere else, just in case.
Well, I bought an HTC Wildfire for 100 Euros, granted it was a used one (my neighbour bought a new one and I thought I give android a try). Worth every cent, I must say. And I don't pay monthly fee with my cell phone operator, only for usage. Now with the added bonus of having a navigation (great deal for me, especially to find points of interest around myself in a new city), flashlight, e-mail, jabber/facebook chat, remote control for pc, weather forecast, voip-capable phone with apps to locate mail boxes, train stations and bus stops in the vicinity (with navigation, too, yeah!). That alone pays off. There are, of course, less useful but still cool things like star map, barcode scanner, dropbox, sms over web for free, watermelon prober, games etc.
The situation might be different in the US though.
Whatever you value more. I value compliance with open standards and customizability. As far as markets go, android market is better for me because I need only a browser to automagically install an app to my phone. App store requires iTunes for that for which I need to set up Windows somewhere (or buy a mac).
Having compared both platforms, there are other points favouring android in my eyes: - network management in iphone is horrible compared to andorids - It is more convenient for me to charge with external charger and simply switch battery if empty than having to wire the phone once in a while. - Linux on android works fine with Linux on pc (I use sshmote, wakeonlan, vnc, ssh a lot). - no custom software needed (important for Linux user). For sync I simply use Google services. - Customization. Do I need to say more?

Finnland is not a NATO member, so US wars affect the country only marginally. It has about 260 peacekeepers around the world though: http://formin.finland.fi/public/default.aspx?nodeid=32296&contentlan=2&culture=en-US#Map
As some doctors say: you don't need painkillers with patient properly fixed.
Fair enough, perhaps we should look at the median lifespan?
You, sir, made my day!
German country-wide protests are tomorrow. They are backing up too soon!
What about DroidPass? I've just set up it on my phone and sync the database file via dropbox.
Except that I have an HTC Wildfire and there are plenty of bulky rear-panels to fit a larger battery. On the plus side, I don't have to dismantle my phone with special tools, battery is replaceable, hard to imagine, isn't it?

I did not get a joke. Can you please explain it to me?

On the other hand, managers of a failed project or engineers behind the wrong construction would get a new job some place with a very harsh climate.

Little wonder as KDE is an European project.
Friend/foe systems might be of interest too. Although they are designed to be reconfigurable in case of a compromising.
To be fair, it has always been easier (at the very least, much much quicker) to do apt-get from a command line than to deal with a GUI.
Me, I like fiddling with interfaces, see new paradigms and ideas. As long as I can have drop-down quake-style terminal (yakuake or guake).
STRG stands for Steuerung which is German for Control. So, STRG=Ctrl.
