All the 18-29 year olds that I know will sit there and text and facebook and whatnot while they're talking to you. I don't think they would be polite enough to fake a phone call to not want to talk to me... I'd think they would just get up and leave.
Then again, maybe I'm just a lot of fun to talk to
...it's an addon write problem.
Someone needs to let you and the other people around here know that a properly written addon that does not require changes (SPI calls it uses that are not changed between versions), that is hosted on addons.mozilla.org, are AUTOMATICALLY updated by MOZILLA to work with new version of Firefox.
Do not blame Mozilla because addon creators are too lazy or don't care enough to update their addons properly, or take advantage of a service Mozilla offers them. Do not blame Mozilla because you are too lazy or don't care enough to unzip the addon, open the config file, and change the max version number yourself.
This addon thing would be a *non-issue* if addon makers would either host their code on addons.mozilla.org, or take the time to run the compatibility software that Mozilla offers them that does exactly what Mozilla does to every addon they host.
Because there sure aren't any of these kinds of databases around that nobody knows about or anything. I honestly think I'd be disappointed in the government for not already having something that can do this that the general public doesn't know about.
A few weeks after the Captivate (Galaxy S i897) 2.2 update got pushed back several times, I decided to take the leap into custom roms for my phone. I found XDA, which had a decently understandable guide on how to root your phone, and a list of roms that one could use, along with tons of different kernels and modems one could use to make various tweaks to your phone. I tried a few different roms, and settled on an older, slightly more stable 2.2 rom names Firefly.
The hardest part of the whole process was rooting the phone initially. Once you can put Clockwork Recovery on, you're set.
More to the point, I lucked out and the Cyanogen Team started development of their lovely AOSP based rom for my device. Even better, it was based off of version 2.3.4, and the group has a great track record for getting updates made, stabilized, and out eons ahead of carriers. I took the dive, and dropped a nightly build of the rom onto my device, and have loved every minute of it. Besides having Netflix on my device, I can customize tons of aspects of the OS, and all I give up are some of the proprietary things that Samsung/AT&T bundle with the phone (like codecs and video players that utilize the graphics hardware to play video).
Outside of very minor complaints that are easily worked around (Hello Rockplayer, and soon VLC), it's the best thing I could have done with my phone. If you don't find yourself using any of the bundled stuff from your carrier or manufacturer on your android phone, I suggest you head over to XDA to Cyanogen and try out a couple of roms until you find out one that works for you.

Not quite. Using a key to lock a safe does not change the contents of the safe. Using encryption changes the contents of the files. They already have the drive. What they're looking for is the sequence of characters that will be used along with a mathematical formula to alter the contents of the drive into something human readable.
I wasn't aware we were legally required to help the prosecution solve math problems, especially when the solution may lead to a guilty verdict for us.
The safe analogy is bad. A better one is "I've shred this file in to billions of little pieces and reordered them in a specific mathematical order." The accused is under no obligation to assist the prosecution in the reassembly of the shredded items, be it with her hands or by providing the formula.
and it's going to take some killer features for EA to be able to get people to not only use their service, but to pick it over Steam. The problem is, I can't think of anything that EA can offer me outside of "Only on Origin" games that would lead me to actually use it over Steam. I don't have any real gripes over Steam, and I don't know anyone that really does.
EA is just trying to get a piece of the digital distribution pie, but they haven't brought anything new or better to the table. It feels like this whole Crysis 2 thing is them causing Valve to have to remove the game from Steam so that they can use it to buff up Origin. Steam is their only real contender, and this is probably the first in a long line of stunts to give them excuses to not list games on Steam.
That's different than trying to tax between interstate purchases. All the states, while separate, are part of the same country, and the action that California is trying to run with have been granted to only the Federal Government. It's not the same between the US, Canada, and Mexico.
They only have to bribe one guy instead of 50! The consolidation makes it so that they can spend more money on this individual, while spending less overall.
I'm sure they pass that value on to the consumer, too!
How is it okay for California to ask a company that they have no jurisdiction over to do additional work for something that only the federal government has jurisdiction over. This is like me requiring that my neighbor watch my dog in my backyard when I go on vacation, even though it's not his dog and it's not his yard.
They're requiring Amazon to supplement their shortcomings, because it's cheaper than doing it themselves.
It's not a good law. Most people that use the $1-$2 apps on the app store pay for them, play them for a few days (or hours!) and then never touch them again. This law completely destroys that market. And while ad supported and free may be a better route to go, it's silly that the government has created a law mandating returnable software that forces developers down that path. How about you spend your dollar, and then live with or without it?
And if we're talking about more expensive apps, well, why the hell didn't you do the research before you bought the app? It's like buying a car, and then getting the car home, and realize that, while functional, it's not at all what you wanted. Probably something you should have thought about before you bought it.
This feels awfully perpetual motion to me. Granted, I'm not a heart surgeon, nor a medical doctor of any kind... but the idea that you use blood pumped by the heart to help pump the heart seems... wrong.
I was forced to log back into my Facebook account on my phone out of the blue last Friday. Perhaps that was them revoking access to all the old offline tokens?
These rules and moderation style keep the post count somewhat limited, but have made the forum an invaluable source free of trolls and thoughtless comments.
(Sure you could choose not to comply and let them use force to get at it... but if you're 'innocent' I fail to see how that would be beneficial for you !?)
If I'm innocent, why not just let the government put cameras in my house and monitor them all the time? I mean, if I'm not doing anything illegal, I've got nothing to worry about, right?

The problem is Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Voter can't tell the difference between "accused" and "convicted".
Uhhhhh, iPad numbers don't count when we're talking about PCs. I don't care what Jobs says about making the PC "just another device"... the iPad isn't up there with PCs yet, and thus shouldn't be counted in your calculations for third place.

Netbooks run Windows 7. What on earth did you upgrade to?

What's needed in most news comment forums is human moderators consistently applying well-defined local cultural rules about what's acceptable.
Have you ever seen the ElitistJerks forum rules and the consequences for breaking them?
