    So instead of arguing the valid point that there are other protections for Apple besides this trademark, you instead attack the messenger. That doesn't really sound polite.

    I read the EFF page, the only demand I see is that they be allowed to use the name as they have for years. That is not ridiculous or laughable.

    Considering how I feel your comments are misguided and silly, does that mean I am allowed to mock you?

    I am not sure how these people are demanding anything except the right to continue to call themselves what they have called themselves for years.

    Do you even know whats going on here, you sound confused.

    You're an idiot.

    If I think the phone number is an invasion of privacy, why would I think the SSN was any better?

    Don't worry about answering that. I doubt you'll have anything intelligent to say.

    No actually they are using it as a key (along with your name) in their database. They make notes on how you like your hair cut, so the next time you show up any of they stylists can have an idea of how you like it.

    They need a better key.

    It's more for people who are looking to go to college after the service. No one in their right mind would join the military for college credit.

    You can get college credit for your military service.

    http://aarts.army.mil/

    You need SSN, Birthdate, and Basic active service date. Many colleges will grant you at least some credit, based upon what you did in the military of course. Lol mine only recommends 4 credit hours for my 5 years in service. But that was because I was a grunt. If you were in a technical position, it can be very different.

    Note: This is only for enlisted, officers have something different.

    That was essentially the same thing I was thinking. This was blown out of proportion, so they are trying to cover their ass. On top of it they tell everyone how good the other did. The school says the cops did a good job, and the cops say the teacher who reported the student did a good job.

    You do realize that something as simple as soap flakes in your powdered laundry soap can be used to make explosives.

    If you arrested everyone that had explosive chemicals in the house, then you would have to arrest everyone that cleans anything.

    And you are really good at dodging my point. This entire time you have refused to respond to the actual point of my comment.
    EVEN if the price was 1000 dollars, the fact of the matter is it has a larger battery then the other devices of similar type. To some that would justify the price.

    Now unless you have something to say DIRECTLY to that point. I bid you good day.

    LOL one liners, I LOVE oneliners.
    But still, why are you ignoring my point? You are still missing it. Actually you know what, I looked up your account history. If MS shills exists on this site, Apple ones do too, cause that's all you comment about. I do not discuss things with shills/fanbois. Not only does it drive my blood pressure up, but I have always hated having battles of wit with an unarmed people.

    A) Who cares if it has one battery or two, the device itself stores 25,000 mAh.
    B) Seriously, I am still lost by your comment... What exactly did I say that made you think this mattered?

  20. Re:Dear Apple on Apple Kills a Kickstarter Project - Updated · · Score: 1

    I thought the POP was $149. According to the graphics on their kickstarter page, it does look like it is $149. So the Pop gives you 167mAh per dollar and the link I posted gives you 160 mAh. So you were wrong. Good for you. Read the article.

    Even if it was 200 dollars, I still did not see any battery out there with an equivalent size. So the extra cost could be justified that way.
    .
    You seem to fail to realize my point, and that was that you cannot get a device with similar capabilities for 20 dollars.

    Actually I think you are still wrong, the device they were promising to build had a 25,000 mAh battery. It could charge your phone ten times on one charge. You CANNOT find one that large for that price on Amazon.

    But by no means should you read the article or actually look anything up before you insist that your two cents is right in multiple posts.

    I went and checked, the closest thing I could find only had a 16,000 mAh battery, and it was $100.

    The TI-89 is very different then the rest of the 8x series.

    The 89 and its various versions have much more in common with the 9x series (I believe that was just the 92 and 92+)

    I had an 83+ and later an 89. I remember I liked a few things about the 83 that the 89 was lacking in. The catalog was one of them, but for the life of me I cannot remember why.

    From your daily mail article:

    Two of the principal costs of the the Obama presidency - and any other presidency - are staffing and security, according to Robert Keith Gray's book Presidential Perks Gone Royal.

    When it comes to keeping the First Family safe, few would dispute that it is worth paying a high price to keep the President safe from harm.

    This means paying for hundreds of Secret Service agents, travel in the secure space of Air Force and funding a team of doctors to follow Mr Obama around.

    But even this essential expense can be exploited to political ends, according to Mr Gray, a former staffer for Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

    Lets look at part of that again:
