In Europe we block all those calls that come from "no caller id" - the operator has special opt-in feature. Nobody calls using VOIP and if the then it is displaying local number.
Fun fact: Skype calls are not popular because of some 'local' number in Ireland and people are not answering.
Well looking at all those youtube videos where police comes to some random gamer home: 1) they not always yell 'police' when they enter, 2) they are not always uniformed, 3) sometimes they are breaking into the house - they are answering hostage situation so they are not willing somebody to open the door,
On the other side there is person that does not know this game, is in the sitation that somebody is breaking into his house, is violent and you just involuntarily want to fight.
In my mind somehow I wouldn't blame the killed guy but the police - but I am from Europe, so what can I know.
I am sticked to Android 2.2 because of this! I tried using HTC Desire X however I just cannot live with that and I am using HTC Desire Z which is already old - but has qwerty slide keyboard.
Because of the same reason my wife has Blackberry 9810 and I know many people that do not accept phones without keyboards so they do not use smartphones at all because local sellers do not have smartphones with keyboards in offer.
I recently installed updates on my Asus Laptop working with Ubuntu 12.04 and it is dead because of drivers update for Radeon graphic card. During booting everything is ok but after logging in display backlight is down.
Unfortunately DVD drive is dead and for strange reason on Asus laptops you cannot boot from USB which brings my laptop dead at the moment. I am setting up PXE server but thinking if I should go back with Linux.
In Poland Fax document is threatened the same by law as original document send by post. Therefore You can send someone invoice by fax but You cannot do this by email. It is common situation when someone prints pdfs from email and folds them to look like those would came by fax.
In Poland and EU currently there is no problem with VoIP. There are a lot of companies in EU that support Poland and some Polish companies specialized in Poland. Funny thing is that regular telecommunication companies (like Dialog Telecom -monthly subscription about 10Euro/20USD) sell also their products cheaper via internet wih VOIP (monthly subscription about 2,5Euro/5USD).
In the past polish national telecomunication had monopoly for calls abroad, till 2004 i belive, but nobody respected it.
As evanbd said think about ultra sonic (ultrasound) bath. It is profesional cleaning procedure for electronic equipment. For egsample profesional cell phone service for sure have ultra sonic bathtub for those cell phones that felt into water or other fluid even working! Ultra sonic works great especially for sticky fluids.
If you want to clean manually then use or distilled water or isopropyl alcohol (called also isopropanol or rubbing alcohol) which is also used widely for cleaning purposes. Uses of other alcohol can cause damage as alcohol can melt some materials like plastic. Isopropyl should be good for all materials that are used in electronic equipment.
As it was said some parts can be baked. Silicon can be damaged by temperature 125 Celsius but some other materials can have lower melting point (like some plastics). Therefore temperature should be choosen carefuly but for most eletronic circuits PCBs (Printed Circuit Board) temperature as high as 110 Celsius should make no damage.
As also was said it is more problematic for mechanical parts like dvd player because probably or you will choose to trash it or to dismantle mechanism which can be too complicated and you do not know if it will work after reassembly.
What ever You will do remember not to power up any electronics that You are not sure if it is entirely cleaned as some said. Doing so may cause unrepairable damage.
