Forget the advertisers, with enough of these things deployed the feds won't need those vans parked outside your house, they'll grab the data in real-time from either the ISP or Mircrosoft.
Allow me to present my solution to your 1984-esque dystopia.
Nokia 6310i, by any chance?. Mine is seven years old, the case is scratched on every surface, it's been dropped in puddles, peat bogs, kicked, trodden on, used in the rain, and once I got it home i've was rinsed under a tap. It still has its original battery, still has over a week of standby time (down from two weeks when I bought it), and the only issue I have is the number 4 key doesn't click when I press it. It still responds, it just doesn't have the same action as the others.
There's a small monochrome LCD on the top of the phone which displays dialed numbers, and and also CallerID. As there's no on-board phone book, you don't get a name, but you can see the number.
There's also an included mini pen and paper phonebook on the back of the device, for that true 20th century feeling.
It's worse than that. They pulled this straight out of the final 20 minutes or so of In The Loop where Malcolm Tucker (Spin Doctor) coerces a minister to doctor a report regarding the invasion of Iraq (WMD findings, if I remember correctly) to read as though it is actually a report in favour of the invasion. Paragraphs are moved or removed, dates are changed... Shit, I thought that film was a satirical comedy, not a documentary.
If you've not seen it, see it. Peter Capaldi (Tucker) is hilarious.
No. 3 is the number of units along one edge of the whole face facing you. A 3 x 3 x 3 cube has 3 units along one edge, a 4 x 4 x 4 has 4 units. Very simple n+1 quantity where n is the number of parallel junctions it is possible to rotate a section of the face about.
A 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 Hypercube would have 3 units along each edge, 2 parallel points of rotation. Including the edge you're having trouble picturing right now.
I have never seen a PC game (outside of Collector's / Special Editions) which costs anywhere near £60. £35 is the current top-end PC game price. You'll pay £45 for a AAA console title at launch, but even CoD:Black Ops is retailing at £34.99 in Game stores on the PC.
At 0.5kcal per Smint pastille, and 9 calories per 5gm of pure Xylitol, we can back-of-a-napkin calculate you'd need to consume approximately 180 Smint pastilles in one day to see these effects, assuming that all of the calorific content of a Smint is pure Xylitol.
If you need to consume that many mints per day, you should see a dentist pretty sharpish. Something in there is rotting, and needs removing.

1. Aquire
2. Invert.
3. Place over Kinect.
Simple solutions to simple problems.
I hook up the g/f's laptop to the TV to watch DVDs. VLC will skip anything you tell it to, normally heading straight for the main DVD menu.
It's "Faithfully" when you don't know the name of the person you're writing to.
No way man, your calculations are all wrong.
10% growth per year, compounded over three years is 3 x 10% growth. 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000, so it's obviously 1000%.
I thought this was a nerd site...!

I've had cars which lasted less time.
What's a "landline"?
It's what you get your broadband internet connection over if you don't have cable in your area.

Surely she can already see whether the numbers on the keypad are upside-down or not. I'm not sure even this would be a solution.
I'd take the phone off her, and be thankful of some peace and quiet.
Even the most reactive metals react weakly to the moisture in the air...
Indeed
... and unimpressively to direct submersion in water.
Uhhhh... What now?
If it's metal, and it reacts with water, this more than likely isn't the best advice to give.
As someone posted earlier, "Jamie Want Big Boom."
Hahaha, Slashdot reader still reading a newspaper.
Good one!
GNAA spam?
And nothing of value was lost?
Nope, sorry. E1M6 - Central Processing

More so in the US. It's in the Constutution, after all.
The act of observing their actions will change them, so we can never know unless we look.
You first.
It's absolutely happened in humans; I saw it in an episode of House, so it must be true!

Sagem?
Can you name a few innovative products from MS?
Two come to mind.

Indeed. it'd be like posting an article on a new form of contraceptive.
You don't need one when you only ever fly solo.
Xylitol has a laxation threshold of 50g / day.
