No it mightn't. It looks pretty straightforward to me. See below.
as Apple does state in the fine print: '4G LTE is supported only on AT&T and Verizon networks in the US;
Oh I get it- so as long as it does state it in the "fine print", then Apple et. al. are allowed to perform misleading advertizing? Or is there another point here that I am missing?
Sorry about the tone, but I tend to be overenthousiastic when consumer protection laws bite megacorps in the arse.
I have this mental image of a lone clerk in the patent office somewhere, mindlessly whacking a rubber stamp on everything shoved in front of his face, while staring off into the distance with glazed-over eyes.
And then this lone clerck in the patent office comes up with the theory of relativity. I know, right?
The only reason that the FDA wouldn't approve LSD as a drug [..]
Add to that the fact that people should shut up, not think much, poison themselves with alcohol and tobacco and stay home and watch TV instead of walking around being all enlightened and thinking for themselves. Well, according to some of the people that want to control people, at least.
That's not the same thing at all as the dystopian vision you portend.
Yes, I agree: it is a completely different dystopian version, as is anything less than The Happy Hunting Grounds- but if you carry any tablet there, you 'll be laughed at at the door. By mountain Lions.
That's a bit of wordplay- same story as to when the boat was invented: it was whenever someone had wood, and noticed that it can take a load (and still float)
Now a shaft going through a firm hole that stays in place while it rotates and has a wheel attached yes, it is a different kind of invention, but the concept of "wheel" was there already- heavy things were carried by rolling them onto logs. True, not the most elegant solution, but beats the hell out of having your slaves die of exhaustion.
Puns aside, what puzzles me more is a) why kites where not used more excessively for lifting objects, especially since the sail was known (perhaps they just dinae think of it?) and b) why there was no industrial revolution after Ancient Greece since they had steam engines
Very interesting and insightful argumentation of both of you on parent mods ('Insightful' and 'Interesting') indeed. You make it sound so simple, by making yourselves sound so pedantic; if there is democracy in the EU and EU citizens vote, why don't EU citizens change it huh?
So police brutality on the US, the co-goverment of Monsanto and co., the whole insanity with patents and the TSA, and the glorious two-party political system, to mention the least, are all desirable elements of the US society that the US managed to establish them in place after careful voting?
Sadly, Paramount hasn't re-scored the pieces the remove some of the incredibly cheesy audio or asked Marina Sirtis to re-dub a few of her lines to sound a bit less like an overwrought heroine from Victorian erotica
The report also says information such as user location, contacts list, and browser history are often accessed and sometimes transmitted to third-party companies, including advertisers.
That also caught my attention- location, contacts list and browser history, all to third-party advertisers: well, I think they are pushing it, and that people should either use a firewall (I'm no smart phone expert but I really hope there exists a firewall) or not install the app at all- can't one just access facebook from a smartphone's browser? Why would you need an app, especially if they spy on you in such a greedy and disrespectful way?
Sorry, I just saw that it has to be Ubuntu- how about wubi? It is a windows-based Ubuntu installer, it installs an Ubuntu system without partitioning that stands as a cluster of files in the host windows, it is not virtualised (both systems don't run at the same time) and if you carefully set up the boot loaders on the other machines, you only need to copy over one (huge) file -the "image"- into the other machines. In addition, you will have to remove the option of booting to Windows, and then go in via a bootable USB and fix it in the aftermath. Then you remove wubi and the computers are as they were.

"Poo-powered tuk-tuk". Am I the only one who thinks that's the best name for any conveyance ever?
It is called the "Poo-Poo".
Actually, in this case, it's not Apple's fault ..
Actually, it is.
The case may be a bit shaky, though, ..
No it mightn't. It looks pretty straightforward to me. See below.

I was hoping SGI would at least somewhat gracefully fade away
I was hoping for a comeback- not like this, though.

Does this challenge the notion that ISOC is a 'trusted, independent source of Internet leadership?'
Is what now?
cute to compare tiny little Holland to the US
Oh yes, it is a tiny country. Dutch companies, on the other hand, are not that tiny. Recognise any names?
How is magnet link support in rtorrent these days?
I admit I though of the same some time ago-- is it because we are lead to believe that everything needs to be doable by console?

.. so please tell us what SA has over Au?
Location. Australia is too far away, unless you live on it. And most people don't.

I say this as I sit here on my private jet filled with gorgeous naked women.
Pictures! Or it didnae happen!
Or in one of these

Rrrright.
Monsanto had tried and failed to commercialize GE wheat in Canada.
I think this is the news here: Monsanto tried and failed
There is hope.
You better believe it. it was about time Japanese started levitating stuff- after all, it is the 3rd millenium.

What do they mean by "sadly"?
And Minecraft. Does it run Minecraft? How does JAVA behave in it?
.. focused on making technology cool and even desirable to the masses.
You probably mean the middle class
Those gas stoves obviously do not heat as much as a real MacBook Pro.
They do, if they have the logo-
Like some do with laptops?
Well? Does it work?

Are you suggesting that federal agencies should somehow be required to admit to people that they have been illegally tracked?
Well, they admitted it to this guy, so why not?
Radio communications will always be there
Hoarding for The Apocalypse, aren't we? =P
Nah I kid, I have my hoarding moments as well.
