Most cops break the law and feel that they dont have to obey them. the number of cops I see speeding, running red lights, etc (on and off duty, if the cop is not running with lights on, he is just being a dickhead flaunting they can break the law)
I have ZERO respect for cops, the world would be better off without what is nothing more than a well funded street gang.
"Ok so what do the police have we don't besides a worthless piece of tin on their shirt?"
The legal right to violate any and all laws. Police can mow down your kids and you can not sue them. They are indemnified from any punishment, you cant sue them.
And they will do absolutely nothing. Cops are worthless, utterly worthless, you do not call them for help. And they do not recover stolen property unless you have a cop right there and point at the bag of your stuff and say, "you going to get that?"
People need to take the law into their own hands, because the police will not do it.
Yes. the service center WILL NOT replace a battery. you will get a replacement phone at a pro rated price. but for the first 6 months they will replace the phone for free if you break the screen.
Oh and NO screen replacements are possible, again pro rated pricing for replacements.
Exactly, apple did not intentionally make the battery not replaceable. HTC on the other hand Did intentionally place the battery where it is the hardest to access, and when it swells will destroy the phone.
Yes, the ONLY android phone to buy is the Nexus from google directly. Everything else you have to spend 2 hours unlocking and flashing a rom that doesnt suck.
HTC cant keep a 3 month old phone up to date. Luckily the community around android sprung up to support phones where these companies refuse to.
HTC has the absolute worst record on updates, it's because they allow the carriers to whore out the phones hard. When I got my HTC ONE M8 the first thing I did was unlock it and jailbrake it (S-OFF) so I could install a clean Google Play Rom and get rid of all the garbage that HTC slapped on top of android, and then AT&T slapped on top of that.
Apple wins in the User experience because they will not allow the carriers to shovel all the crap they want into the phone ruining it.
This is the dirty underbelly secret of android that none of the fanbois will admit. Android is really only good for hackers and techies, because what they allow the carriers to do to the phones utterly ruin Android and the experience of using the phone.
Their flagship they intentionally made it not repairable in every way. The battery is actually BEHIND the LCD screen, so when it swells at the end of it's life it will shatter the screen.
They could have made the phone 1mm thicker and made the battery replaceable.
Phones are slowing as well, Short of me breaking it or the battery dying, I can easily see my HTC ONE M8 lasting 4 years. It's probably why HTC made sure the battery was not replaceable in the phone... to ensure it will stop working.
I cant trade them in for pieces of the company, they are as worthless as the paper they are printed on. Want proof? See what happened to all the money people had in stocks during the last crash. Hell I have framed on my wall a Certificate for Pan American Airlines Stock that is 100% worthless.
You want your currency to actually have worth, you back it with Gold.
The atomic bombs were on par with what we did to Berlin with standard bombs.
We talk about the horror of Okinawa, look at what days upon days of firebombing Berlin and Germany did. The fires were so hot that some basement shelters when opened burst into flames when Oxygen got into them, and this was days after we stopped bombing. Civilians hiding in a bomb shelter cooked to death from the heat.
War is not pretty or civilized. We attempt to make it that way, but honestly It's humanity's dark evil underbelly that proves we are barely out of the caves.
The war in afganastan would have been over in 8 minutes, re-target the missiles, spool them up and launch... *Boom* glass bowl, and most of region dead from radiation poison in the next few months. Or carpet bomb the area for 2 months straight, etc....
You prefer the USA play with the big weapons or attempt a civilized fight against uncivilized wild animals that uses children and women as bombs and shields?
Dude, everyone knows that the Islamist extremists are fucking rabid animals, even Iran has denounced the Extremists as dogs that need to be put down.
There are men who are inside the United states that have evaded the best agents for longer than that. They still have not found the Atlanta Olympics bomber.
You are correct, you would have had only one murder, the home owner and 3 criminals still roaming the streets. If you think someone who does a home invasion will leave you alone, you are nuts. If a criminal enters a home they know is occupied, they are ready to kill whoever is in there.

Cops suck at firearms. I can out shoot any cop at the range, in fact a LOT of guys at the range regularly make the cops there look bad.

Yet street criminals and gang members have no problem at all getting a gun.
gun laws are there to punish the honest citizen, they are not there to stop criminals.

Which is why the hacker keyboard is on mine. it doesnt do any of this crap.

The galaxy note will record crap, because it has CRAP lens compared to even a $99 Canon 50mm 1.8 prime.
Hell my 1080p t4i will record far better than the galaxy note can in 4K using a low end canon lens...

My nexus phone I had before this had 4 updates applied to it from Google and still receives them. I'm just tired with how slow a nexus 4 is.
Except for the tiny $800 unlocked handset extortion price. But most everyone has $800 as pocket change laying around, so that is not an issue.

So I can take my 200 shares of apple and show up at 1 Infinite Loop and demand Steve Jobs Desk?

Well Microsoft has one that give you a really shitty experience across all platforms, but I don't think that is what he was looking for.
Exactly, My wife has no interest in replacing her iPad 2 and my iPad 4 is perfectly fine. Maybe in a couple of year's I'll replace mine.
Same with the Nexus 7 I have, no burning urge to go get the latest shiny that is exactly the same as my current shiny.

Only because the USA'ians fight civilized.

Trivial as hell. I can build a jammer to disable all of these guns in a 100 foot radius easily.
