Great - instead of going online and getting tea-bagged by the douchebag 12 year olds with nothing to do but camp for 18 hours straight, now it'll be the damn 80 year olds screaming "Get off my lawn!" while they tea-bag you.
Yes, but if your current lifetime could be extended by another 75 years, there's a much better chance of them finding a cure. Honestly, think about how much farther science would be if humans lived longer? How many researchers make great progress and then die before they can complete their ideas only to have another spend years learning what the previous person did just to get caught up, then make some contributions before they too die...rinse and repeat. I have a genetic disease (non life-threatening) that I was born with and until they start being able to alter your DNA to change these things, there will be no cure.
Look up the stats - the majority of millionaires are self made. Those who are raised as spoiled children of millionaires (or billionaires) generally are too incompetent to keep from blowing all of their inheritance. The problem is that it's easier for people like you to make excuses such as "Oh, someone handed them all of that money" instead of admitting that you didn't work as hard / make the right choices to get to the same position.
Oh I wasn't denying that it's illegal (for multiple reasons) - merely pointing out that any heterosexual male is going to be attracted to teenage girls, regardless of what the law says on actually acting on said attraction.
Except that at this company as soon as the manager decides to fire them (before the employee has even been notified that they've been canned), their account is disabled by HR and the service desk does not have the ability to enable those accounts.
It's a huge waste of company resources to keep harassing a manager every time some idiot forgets their password over the weekend.
And the fact that he's on the staff means that he wouldn't want to see teen girls naked? Now if it's elementary school, then sure - that's a problem. If it's high school, then why would it be wrong to be attracted to them?
Very true. I worked at a tech support gig once where company policy was that even after an employee was verified by their SS number, all we could do was unlock their account - if they needed a password reset, their manager had to also be verified and approve them having their password reset. Stupidest policy ever.
I used to have an iPhone 3GS and then traded that for an Evo 4G (currently own an Evo 3D) - the Evo 4G and 3D are NOT much bigger than an iPhone. I know, the screen size is significantly larger, but due to the massive bezels at the top and bottom of an iPhone, the 4.3 inch phones aren't much bigger.
Because, until recently, Android was the only one offering phones at multiple price points whereas Apple had theirs restricted to $199 on contract minimum.
True multitasking is my guess. You can actually have things running in the background (even without realizing it), thus slowing other apps down. Though it does seem to be that if you hit home to close an app it stays running but if you hit back multiple times to exit, the app closes.
How exactly is taking other people's ideas / products and putting a shiny look on them "visionary" or "innovative"? That's all Apple has EVER done is stand on someone else's shoulders and then add some polish to the other person / companies idea / product.
Now if you want to write odes to his legendary bullshitting skills to con people into thinking that his products were visionary and innovative, then I'll wholeheartedly support that. The man was a master manipulator, and you have to admire that.
Except in some cases, two wrongs do make a right. This is Samsung retaliating for Apple's bogus lawsuits since Apple refuses to innovate. In this case, it's good for Samsung to do this because it might make Apple start competing with their products instead of suing to block competitors from selling their products.
I only enjoy seeing things like this because Apple wants to play dirty, so I like seeing others turn their own game against them. Granted, due to political views Apple tends to get better deals from most governments, but it's still nice to see someone trying to get Apple to compete in the marketplace instead of just having governments block competition.
So you don't want the news. As I stated before, I'm not a Republican. I'm just capable of noticing when someone blatantly has a habit of attacking on political party for every last imaginable thing while rarely saying anything negative about the other party.
Wi-Fi being left running will trash your battery because it's constantly searching for new networks to connect to. I used to leave GPS off unless I opened Maps or Navigation, but I got sick of the fact (this was on my Evo 4G, haven't tried it on my Evo 3D) that the app opened faster than the GPS turned on and I'd have to manually switch over and turn it on.
Except that Apple is already following the RIM(job) model of being lazy and making extremely minor changes and thinking they can stay on top. That's why iOS's market share hasn't changed for over a year now while Android's market share keeps going up and up - because the companies making Android phones are innovating constantly as well as Google updating Android more than once a year with minor changes. Eventually investors will realize that Apple has peaked and that stock will start to drop - FAST.
So it's a slight improvement over what Android's had and probably something that they already have in the works and Apple will try to file another bogus lawsuit against them to inhibit competition.

So? Why shouldn't people be able to buy better looks, greater intelligence, extended youth, etc if they worked to get the means to afford it?
Hopefully this leads to people being able to have their DNA modified so that we no longer have to deal with mental diseases like Alzheimer's.

Good point. Mount them in the girls locker room instead.

Actually it wasn't. It was all over tech sites later in the day after it started, once almost all of them had already been sold.
Now if only you could FIND one of those cheap Touchpads....

And it must be the thinnest, lightest coffin on the market.
Eh, fuck it - I've got karma to burn.

It's an AC troll man, just ignore them :)
He's also missing that a 1 GHz dual core is already outdated when the competition is releasing 1.5 GHz dual core processors in their phones.
