It is disingenuous to even mention 9/11 in relation to Iraq, the Iraq war was about the real possibility of WMD in Iraq, which we now know was false, but at the time had no way to know. In the runup to the war, Saddam was refusing access to known weapons manufacturing facilities. He was threatening the Kurds and Iran with gas attacks. We now know it was a bluff, but that wasn't so clear at the time.
Unless you live in Mass, that is highly unlikely. You are allowed to spank your children, you are not allowed to beat them. The distinction is in the mount of damage; a beating leaves bruises, a spanking leaves a temporary red mark. If you are reaching for the belt or paddle, you are doing it wrong.
Typically however, spanking your children is more about the adult feeling like they punished the kid rather than actual punishment. There is a reason timeout works better, even if you have to hold the child in timeout for the time of the timeout.
According to this guy, the most popular free flashlight apps steal your personal information and transmit it to other countries. It makes for an interesting spy gadget for them apparently.
This is a result of you owning your phone. If you were renting the phone, they would be expected to keep it up to date, instead, you buy it and they wash their hands of it. This is not as much a problem with Google as it is a problem with carriers. The carriers want control, so they get it and cause phones to be end of life'd quicker.
So I was off, but not by much, it appears that China just isn't cheap anymore. In the US they are more likely to use machines to assemble where possible, in China, they historically considered people less expensive, but that may have changed over the years.
I don't see that in the article at all, in fact one of the pictures shows a guy wearing one walking up stairs.
The device reduces the energy use by replacing the calf muscle keeping tension on the achilles tendon with a spring and mechanical clutch mechanism, so it should work on any kind of terrain where you have to keep stable while a foot is on the ground. The clutch apparently disengages when you lift your foot so that it doesn't pull your toes down which would interfere with your walking.
The Moto X was built in the US, I recall reading somewhere that it cost around $2 more to assemble in the US. I would assume however that the parts were not manufactured in the US, but I could be wrong.
Dallas is a totally different animal to the Philly I was responding to.
Dallas has issues of low population density working against the 4G coverage (4G has much shorter range to 3G, therefore distance matters).
The reason that AT&T has better coverage is that they sacrifice speed (except when extremely short range) for coverage, you aren't getting anywhere near the data rates Verizon can give: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4... (AT&T uses HSPA+ while Verizon uses LTE)
I would love to see a class action lawsuit against all the companies that treat salaried workers as hourly when it benefits them, and salaried when i benefits them.
Taker? No, I pay a ton of taxes (a little over 30% of my salary goes to income taxes), therefore I paid for those roads. I also pay gas taxes and tolls that pay for the roads I use.
Maybe if we published some news stories about the threat from the Bugger invasion. If we don't expand into the solar system, they will attack and destroy us!
Have you ever climbed a mountain, or gone backpacking? If you could go 7% farther in a day for the same energy input, or carry 7% more weight, it would be damn useful.
Not everything is about exercise, sometimes you want to reduce your energy usage.
From the captions on the pictures, it says it reduces the energy used for walking by 7%, I am thinking this would be great for backpacking. It would reduce the amount of energy you expend and allow you to carry more weight.
When you pay the costs for the closed captioning all by yourself (all the deaf people) and I don't have to pay any of the costs, then it is freedom. Forcing others to pay to support you is anything but freedom.

So, demanding that everyone buy insurance or face a fine is not authoritarian to you?

Me too, but that is a newer thing, many of the older phones did not include that. I was pointing out that there are many definitions of harmful.

That has nothing to do with the range issues of 4G though. 4G is attenuated by water in the air (much the same as 802.11), not so much buildings.
Take a look at the permissions your average (free) flashlight app requests then reconsider your definition of harmful.
we don't really own our phones.

wages are $12-$14 in US, $4 in China, rest is offset by cheaper shipping.
http://www.informationweek.com...?
Says something about $5 difference, and gives a good breakout of hardware costs.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2...
Says $4.

Argue with them than:

They are owned and operated by AT&T.

It looks like they used to use Sprint's CDMA network, but no more.

Internet old?
Slashdot was founded in 97, so none of the accounts could exactly be called old
I have been reading for at least 15 years though.
That is hilarious...
Cricket = an AT&T MVNO, they are literally the same network.
I would recommend Verizon, they actually spend on their network, and I have never seen slow speeds (in Balt/Wash corridor).
It is a combination of Commander Taco and Cowboy Neil. A very old account (5327 UID).
More likely every AT&T cellular customer will receive a $.50 credit, and the lawyers will receive millions.
I would love to see a class action lawsuit against all the companies that treat salaried workers as hourly when it benefits them, and salaried when i benefits them.

Cost. When the captions are mandated, all those who don't use them pay for them as well.
It costs money to have captions put on things, it isn't free.
