    It's not implemented because it is a bad idea.

    Wacking the phone on purpose is not a good habit to teach users. Even without this, every other iPhone on the planet seems to have a cracked screen. Imagine what would happen if people get into the habit of slamming their phone against a table or wall at the slightest annoyance.

    In that case I would forget about the job hunt for a bit and first look for a new spouse.

    It's not that they cannot accept card like that, but that the processor will not reimburse the shop in case of fraud. At least that's the case here in the Netherlands.

    I don't see how failing to put money in someones pocket is the same as taking money out of someone's pocket.

    How would you like to have to lift 350 pounds just to get off off the couch?

    That is one interpretation. Depending on the school of Buddhism or Hinduism the interpretations vary. As Alan Watts has pointed out, "Karma" means work or action and that's all it means. Whether the results of your karma are tit-for-tat, nonexistent, on credit or part of a divine system of justice really depends on which robed figure you follow and which mythical creatures you believe in.

  17. Re:EAA on Makerplane Aims To Create the First Open Source Aircraft · · Score: 1

    That's what you get when your politicians are in the pocket of Big Kitplane. The little guy gets screwed.

  18. Re:Lies on US Doctors Back Circumcision · · Score: 1

    Having it done with consent when there is a medical problem seems like the proper way to go about this, instead of chopping it off on the off-chance that it could be beneficial.
