    So, when the spec was modified as no one can get the max of the spec to say that well, yes, Sprint, VZ and AT&T have 4G, that wasn't good enough?

    Perhaps answering the question asked would work a little better. Perhaps he is looking at the Stratosphere and was curious how long the battery lasted with 4g running. Personally, I am curious to that point too as I haven't been impressed with the battery on my Moto Droid X, and am looking to upgrade to a new Android on VZ and would love to know how the battery compares. (Droid X, about 1.5 days of normal use, but I can get through a weekend camping trip by not using data)

    If you suspected you had discovered a new energy production method which makes everything else pale in comparison, would you publish all the details of it?

    Now, the guy is a moron for trying to get a patent on the method without all the details in the patent, as the whole point of a patent is full disclosure to benefit humanity.

    TFA is unfortunately highly uninformative. It compares the iPhone models getting current updates with the Android models not getting updates. There are no phones on the chart that actually do get updates, such as my Droid X which was released over a year ago, and it still getting updates and is on the current Android, 2.3.3 (Honeycomb is not a phone OS, so it isn't the current phone OS).

    How is patronage any different from the way it works currently. Replace elite with distributors/editors/publishing houses. The way it works now is that an author is given money up front to produce a work that then the publishing house has rights to publish and distribute. If you aren't known in the industry, it is very hard to get your work published, and you have to instead look at other ways to get your work out, such as eBook retailers.

    I figured I would look up my state, and I have to say I don't get subsection 2

    (a) Prohibited.- A
    person may not engage in vaginal intercourse with another:

    (1) by force, or the threat of force, without the consent of
    the other;

    (2) if the victim is a mentally defective individual, a mentally incapacitated individual, or a physically helpless individual, and the person performing the act knows or reasonably should know that the victim is a mentally defective individual, a mentally incapacitated individual, or a physically helpless individual; or

    So, if you marry a quadriplegic, it is rape to have sex with them?

    I don't think net neutrality is what you are looking for. The mere fact that Siri gives you rehab centers instead of searching for drug dealers indicates that it is most definitely not being neutral in the transaction and is instead modifying it.

    Chemical castration as a way to voluntarily lower libido isn't just for pedophiles and sex addicts. I wouldn't be surprised if more than one devout Roman Catholic man who has a civil divorce would prefer to lower his natural libido than be forced to live with a life of celibacy with his current sex drive

    As a Roman Catholic who is divorced, I just don't see this one. So what if I can't get married in the church (without applying for an annulment at least). It doesn't mean I can't date or even (OMG!) remarry. It isn't like premarital sex is any bigger deal than lying in the church.

    Some people take the religious dogma too far though.
