I meant that you'd willfully and with malice attempted to coerce a response from local security personnel / police force. They'd pin you with wasting police time just for being a dick.
I'd get on my high-horse if I was stopped from taking photographs I actually wanted to take, but taking them just to be questioned isn't just daft, it's petty.
But my point was that the cube isn't useless for me. I can much more easily remember the faces of a cube than slide position. Plus, being able to move from space 1 to 4 instantly by moving left is super-handy.
I turn the wallpaper off because as you say, it's just eye candy. I prefer a dark grey background. Easier on the eye (it's a light bulb, not a sheet of paper) and not so harsh a contrast as black.
Nothing useful. It's eye candy, like a turbo-charged Aero Glass with 3D effects.
I use the cube desktop switcher and that's it. For some reason I find the idea of a cube easier to map out my mind when I have several windows open than a chain of 4 desktops.
Full network connectivity is required for downloading advertisements, which are required to keep many of the apps free. You can buy any app you choose, and many will not come with advertisements. Location information comes in two types: Course (GSM antenna triangulation) and Fine (GPS), presumably to serve you targeted advertising. You can turn off data connections and use the app, then if you wish remove it before reconnecting.
I have, however, spotted some free games on the Android Market which require things like read/write phonebook access, phone state information, read/write to SD card, and other very odd behaviours I wouldn't expect to be required to play Whack-a-Mole or somesuch. Those don't get installed.
- Roof over my head
- Food on the table - Debt repayment - Job satisfaction
Those first three stop if I lose my job, so "Beef Patty Orientation Champion" or "Refuse Management Technician" are fine jobs until I get something better.
No job is beneath me if I don't have a job, and I'll work anywhere while I'm searching. I'm able bodied and intelligent, and not work-shy. I've problem with temporary positions in "menial labour" positions until either the economy picks up and I can move elsewhere, or I get promoted up into a better position.
Annecdote: Steve Jobs started work as a tech at Atari. Opportunity is what you make of it.
If I lost my job, I'd definitely apply for a job at McDonalds. They have one of the best management training schemes in the world (along with Games Workshop, oddly) and they very quickly pick out the people with half a brain. You can shoot up to a franchise management position in far fewer years than in most other sectors, and from there you've got people and finance management skills which will apply to any sector you choose to work in.
McDonalds does need burger flippers, but they can't run the shop.
Totally off-topic, so I expect to be modded to hell, but Saddam Hussein's trial was a sham and Kangaroo Court. I'm not saying that the things he did warranted any leniency whatsoever, but a fair trial would have been appropriate.
The closest analogy I can come up with would be putting Herman Goering up for trial at Nuremberg in front of a jury made entirely of Jews, giving him a Jewish defense counsel, and making the entire panel of judges Jews. It's inhumane, and makes us no better than any other savage nation. We just let someone else do the dirty work this time.
Probably. The casual downloaders and the Napster-generation and their parents who were suckered by the "Piracy funds terrorism" "You wouldn't steal a handbag" "You can face a bajillion dollar fine and 5 years in a 6' x 6' room with a burley hillbilly named Bubba for downloading Britney Spears songs" FUDvertisments would have swapped to whatever service closely resembles that, with the added bonus of being able to still select the great tracks from cruft-filled albums.
So yes, I think sueing file sharers helped make iTunes successful.
[Insert regulator] guidelines mandate that the antenna be at the base of the handset, as far away from the brain as possible. Putting the antenna in the top is not possible.
Like I said before. Why didn't Steve say "What? You make calls holding it to your ear? How 1990s! Plug in those trendy white earphones we gave you as a free gift for buying our wonderful new iPhone and make calls with your hands free to use your iPad!"
Further, "CmdrTaco! Look out! kdawson has stolen your password using this tool and is posting inflammatory and poorly researched crap using your account!"

When they arrest you and check your home computer for unlicensed music or whatever, they'll spot this comment and use it to pin you against a wall.
Never post on the internet what you wouldn't be happy shouting in the middle of a crowded street.

You forgot a unified update system with updates rarely requiring a system restart.
There's also a "Filter AC comments" option. Just going to turn that on :)

Self-fulfilling prophecy?
It's been nice knowing you.
The user is always the weakest link in any secure system.
It went to Europa by mistake.

There going to get it from they're lobbyists. The guys over their.

Peter Sutcliff would be head of the WI with RIAA lawyers behind him, and I bet they wouldn't even blink at the prospect.
Parasitic leeches the lot of them, with less moral fibre than my last bowel movement.

That'll be your eyesight going, grandpa.
Really? Stereographic sound and animation in a typesetting system? It's called fucking iTeX.
I don't even use the damn thing, and I spotted this was a hoax.
I think IKEA make a rolling pin called that.
