Agree - gravity is a theory, but evolution is a fact? Gravity is directly observable and doesn't even touch history. In the desire to win a war against religion, science is weakening its own principles.
Shaking a head generally means a left-right motion. But shake is a word on its own and as such, can refer to any vibratory movement in any direction. Why do I care that Wikipedia says what "shaking a head" means? That doesn't mean it's the only way you can shake a head. It's just defining the meaning of a common phrase in common usage - not dictating the only possible usage of a set of words. But the quote says that he shook it to indicate yes, which still gives enough detail to understand what's being said.
Don't worry - if you took the plastic frame off, the edge of the bolt/screw that holds the plate on has to obscure part of the plate by necessity as part of actually holding it on.
A brand new hospital getting built wouldn't fit that example. Odds are good that it gets a modern system. Which is why we're getting to the point where some of this needs to continue to get deregulated. We don't need older equipment in new construction that can't support this. So the telephone industry can make a clean break for all new construction.
It's a contract for payment. I can put a laptop on my credit card and pay it off as quickly or slowly as I wish. The laptop is unlocked. I can even sell it. I still owe the payments on my credit card. Why should you be allowed to lock a cell phone for the same reason?
They might want consecutive numbers, but they don't need it. Honestly, they probably don't need 10,000 distinct phone numbers - just 10,000 lines. But they're paying for that - that's their choice.
We're improving. Have a look at Ting. The problem is still device portability. You can't even take a prepaid phone from an MVNO that runs on AT&T's network to another prepay MVNO that also runs on AT&T networks.
It wasn't because he killed them in the game. It was because it was all done in such a way to make them see it and the implications that made.
Harassment is - yes - passing a threshold. If you were an ex-boyfriend and you called your ex-girlfriend, that's just a phone call. If you call every night at the same time for weeks, that's harassment.
A boss paying a single sexual compliment to his employee can be considered harassment. Shouldn't always be, but can be.
Physical violence isn't usually OK. At some point, verbal abuse crosses a line and I don't see a problem with having a structure in place to deal with it. There is a line that shouldn't be crossed. Yes, it's true that the line can start to move down a slippery slope - and it's part of our responsibility as citizens to ensure that doesn't happen.
Freedom of speech never included harassment. Disagreement, yes. Criticism of public figures, yes. If I'm against outright harassment and bullying, then I'm against the TSA too.
And I feel more free if my safety is somewhat guaranteed at a good level. And that those restrictions in law aren't really restrictions to decent people.
If I took a photo of you and photoshopped it to show you dying a gruesome death and taped it to your school locker - would that be harassment? What if I did things like that on a regular basis? If the intent was similar, then this game could be considered harassment.
If it was clear that his intent was for the classmates to see him playing the game, it could easily be determined as a threat or harassment/bullying - and should be. If someone happened to see it and he didn't want them to, he's truly innocent. Without citation I can't say much more. But I don't know how much of a book you can throw for harassment.

Both are correct grammar and accurate. One just happens to be a common phrase. If I stuck to common phrases in speech, my life would be boring.

Since iPhone 4 and until 5S/5C.
Not really true - you get a better deal with an MVNO and there's lots of them running on each carrier.

If you pay off an 18 month cost in 24 months of payments, you overpaid by 25% in two years. That's 12.5% APR, uncompounded.
If you can pay $900 in two years at $20/mo. I want some of that money.
Sorry - didn't realize you were an anarchist. You know, you can't have a Constitution with anarchy.

You don't think anything qualifies as harassment, do you? Can you give me a definition? Do you equate lawlessness with freedom?

What do you consider the criteria for harassment?
Maybe I'm not getting the joke, but 1.5 thirds is exactly half. If you're getting decimal places, you're doing it wrong.
Is fskin a new brand of condom?

That's quite a lot, really.
Anonymous Coward is not a pseudonym.
One for those who wish to reveal all, and another for those who do not?
Sure. It just seems like less people are willing to host the latter. Why don't you? Nobody else should be forced to accommodate your preference.
Fly swatters flick faster than we can move our own hands. In other cases, we can strategically hit one step ahead of where we think they'll be.
