I still use my Nokia 6310i It's almost a decade old, has scratches all over the case, it's been dropped in puddles, peat bogs, trodden on and kicked, thrown at a wall in frustration, and all that is wrong with it is the 4 key sticks. It has its original battery which lasts over a week without a charge, and the sound quality and signal (for the same location) is much better than my Desire HD.
I love that phone so much that I take out my old HTC Topaz when I go for a heavy night out. I'd much rather lose that.
You think that's bad? I had the pleasure of overhearing an English teacher telling a parent about how well their student had done "in a test what we did in class today." The fireworks were spectacular.
Suffice to say I view sentence structure and grammar as more important when considering the communication of information than the information contained. At least if it's presented properly, you have a reasonable chance of debunking it.
Well, for one, being able to contact the retailer and say "COMPOODUR IS BORKEND" and get free repairs under warranty is a lot easier (and faster) than waiting 4-6 weeks for an RMA from the Taiwan production facility.
I can't help but point out the paradox of believing the statements of ex-NSA guys regarding the NSA. Granted, you are more informed than any of us, but you're also not exactly impartial.
Whereas this tank, being much larger tank, holding much higher pressures, inside a metal cage holding maybe 4 or 5 people, charging down a busy carriageway at 70MPH, won't at all have the capacity to maim or injure significantly many more people if it fails than one SCBA tank? Pull the other one.
Matrix 4: Scene: Spongebob's Pineapple Neo and gang eat Spongebob's pineapple. Hot chick disgusted that pushup bra is covered in sea water, Trinity mildly amused. More pineapple eating.
Matrix 5: Scene: Poseidon's lair. Neo and gang getting chewed out for monching down on Spongebob's house, Hot chick in push up bra is spared the verbal and instead invited inside his cave for coffee. You know, the coffee that you never actually get to drink, as it's not actually coffee, but we don't know what it actually is because nobody asks anyone in for coffee meaning not coffee as this isn't some 90's sitcom, or it's just us who don't get invited in for coffee as we're nerds who need to leave mom's basement in order to be invited in for coffee. As long as it's no by your mom, who notices you're not in the basement.
Uhhh... Yeah. They did this in the 1980's with an entire season of Dallas.
I would hunt down and publicly execute the Wachowski brothers^h and sister if they did this.
Note to lawyers: This is not a serious threat on anybody's life, I hold no ill-will towards the Wachowski's, it's just a joke. Just a terrible, terrible joke.
The "crap" is what makes Eve, Eve. It's a wonderful way of keeping the city-dwellers and trolls out of the game, and as such the Eve universe benefits.
It makes more sense as a space simulator than a game, but it's still very much enjoyable. IMHO.
Actually, no. I'm just going to run DBAN on the servers, single pass zeroes.
My original quote was a 20 stack of writeable CDs and 2 days time... £500 max. They told me that wasn't the way bidding for government contracts work, so I said £400k.
Yes you are, as there are far more economically viable data contracts utilising 3G data dongles. If you have your laptop with you anyway, why are you using a phone for data? Don't give me "It's one less thing to carry"; If you are using a device which requires tethering for data, it almost certainly has a USB port.

Egypt puts you to shame.
Free World my ass.

Where did my link go? What the hell?

Indeed.

How about "Worldwide, more die of seasonal flu annually than have died in terrorist attacks since 1970."
House would, and that's good enough for me.
My apologies to the parent, but this is off-topic from their post.
This is the point I got to before I felt like I was staring at the sun. Lose the whitespace.
I'll come back tomorrow and see what it's like. If it's still like reading a lightbulb, I'll go read Ars.

It's Catch 22, I'm afraid.
Apologies for replying to myself, but I forgot to add an important equation when considering the testing which will be performed.
A + B + C = X

This will be tested up the wazoo, and then some.

Dude, you just made me bean all over my keyboard.
That's right. I Kami-hami-hurled.
Please, feel free to input the term "Snoo snoo futurama" into a YouTube search in order to find a very relevant funny clip.
I would have posted the link myself, but pasting into a comment is broken.
His wife will be so glad to hear that he spent so much time on them >_>

Back to Earth? They should have stopped at the end of Series 6.
You are significantly larger than any spider.
Come back with another analogy for when the spider has eyes the size of your face.

I'm not saying the phantom data isn't bad, I think every kind of phantom is bad
The Ghost who Walks would be extremely unhappy to hear you say this.
I'd reply, but he won't be able to read it until next month.
