>>Way to paint conservatives with a broad brush, you small-minded liberal bigot
1) Way to assume I am am a liberal. I am, in fact, very far to the right (though I a very different right than the religious right).
>>As a conservative parent, and someone who is friends with conservative parents, I can tell you that we have no problem teaching our children about sex, or the difference between girls and boys.
2) conservative, sex negative parents != conservative parents
Yeah but in the minds of conservative, sex negative parents (or non parents for that matter), acknowledging that sex exists, or even that there are differences between "boy parts" and "girl parts" is basically the same thing as showing the kids a full length interracial, midget, anal gang-bang.

Yeah we'll throw together a couple hand wavy "checks" and it will all work, just like that! Easy!
OP didn't say where he was from, but in community property states like California, anything one partner owns is also owned by the other spouse. Which means the "I bought it, so I own it" doesn't work, because as soon as you owned it, so did your partner.

But unless you are already up and running with Android development, that is kinda non trivial. And this question reeks of management coming to the IT department with a stack of tablets and saying, "Here, do magic, and we need this done by next Wednesday." Which usually rules out non-trivial development.
This pretty much. Unless you want to get down and dirty in Cyanogenmod or some other Android community release (and your tablets run Android), I don't know how you would do it. You might try stripping out everything you can from the tablet, locking down what you can with security and parent control settings, setting up a wireless network that doesn't hand out a gateway with DHCP, or doesn't even have an internet connection, would get you close to you want. Still won't keep people from exiting the browser and bumping around the system.
Seriously, have you ever been to those places that are all in black? The population density is less than 1 person per square mile in a lot of them. A lot less in most places. Large portions of Nevada have population densities of 0 people per square mile. There is just no reason to build towers in the middle of no where.
The only 2 reasons I can really think of are Redhat support (which, at the place were I work, barely gets used. In fact I believe we are migrating to CentOS because we can't justify the cost of support with how often we use it), and the release schedule, because it seems like CentOS is run by the seat of their pants, and they'll release when they feel like it.
Well he got married in 1991 and he had no Apple stock from the time he got fired to the time of Apple's acquisition of/merger with NeXT in 1997. And he probably has all his Apple and Disney stock in a holding company like how Bill Gate has Cascade Investments LLC.
Unless they renegotiate the security deal at the last moment. Politicians the world over seemed to like to make last minute deals so that both sides can claim victory.
Well, California is a community property state, so his wife. Since she isn't inheriting it (she already co-owned it), she doesn't have to pay estate taxes (I think).
*And it could be the case that the birds they used didn't evolve from t-rex, but rather some other (possibly completely unrelated) species of dinosaur, which would skew the results
Note to self: don't post when tired.
I understand the they used birds because of the evolutionary history, and crocs due to the age of their species and reptilian nature, but I doubt using the human body as a reference to the bodies of our millions of years old relatives would give a clear picture, and the same goes for this experiment. And it could be the case that the birds they used didn't evolve from t-rex, but rather some other (possibly completely unrelated) species of bird, which would skew the results.
If I had to guess, I'd say that 30% is in the margin of error for this kind of work.
I don't know if it is contrary to code, but I've seen it done many times. They make special clamps that screw into the metal to make a good ground connection.
A quick google search makes it seem like it isn't prohibited in homes in LA county, but I'm not a lawyer or electrician. http://www.ladpw.org/general/forms/download/1003.pdf?CFID=27792607&CFTOKEN=63377110
I think it would be easier to mess with the data on the platter than the solid state electronics on the control board, especially since the disk is actually moving through the field as a result of the rotation while the control board is stationary.
Have you ever tried to kill a harddrive with a magnet? It basically requires passing a rare earth magnet closely over the platters several times before the data is reliably damaged and if they had that kind of magnetic fields it would cause much bigger problems. And while I don't know to much about the properties EM radiation, I believe that magnetic fields don't interfere with radio waves.
My guess is that its the steel beams themselves are causing interference with the phones, that they incidentally had hdd failures (they have lived there for like 6 years), and the the steel beams have slight magnetic field because a small amount of current is passing through them (electricians like to ground to steel beams instead of running a ground line back to power box and putting to ground their) and they blame that weak magnetic field for their problems.
This is all purely speculation because they don't give any real details about the field.

Heck, I'll even kick in for the shipping for the, ahem, samples.
You have obviously never been to Utah of Nevada. They are waste lands, quite literally.

No more than I have a hard time taking something called "Gingerbread" seriously.
So there are doing to same thing Apple has been doing for years with LLVM. Which is why LLVM is part of xcode.
Way to innovate Gnome.
Double tap.

Says the AC posting on a site written in perl.
Because clearly what we need is _yet another_ way to develop web applications.

Also here is an example of one of the clamps: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=grounding+clamp+i-beam&gs_upl=2434l2434l0l3528l1l1l0l0l0l0l198l198l0.1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1280&bih=933&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=12394699248708498676&sa=X&ei=1FeOTvqTNNOGsALSzrWmAQ&ved=0CHQQ8wIwAg

Thanks Wesboro, I needed a good laugh this morning. Although my screen and the guy across from me probably didn't appreciate the projectile coffee.
