Aren't you legally required to provide user information (Name, address, etc) for any 'prepaid' phone. I believe that it is meant to cut down on the use of anonymous phones used for crimes. It used to be that registration was not required.
I have to agree. More rugged, flexible platforms without all the techno crap (less shit to go wrong) really seems the way to go. They are less expensive to build and maintain. The A10 and C130s are excellent examples of aviation engineering at its finest. Modern 'stealthy' jets may still have a role to play, but it's the simple designs the will win the day.
But on the slightly more practical side, I'd offer to buy the computer from the company. (or at least the hard drive), Or ask them to destroy it, and watch while they do it.
Yeah, if you want to travel cattle class - which is probably as good as business or (nearly) first class on an airplane. However, long haul trips on amtrak really require a sleeper cabin. Hench prices of 1,000 and up. It really is the way to go.
Oh please, every president since Reagan has been an absolutist tyrant, and you can bet whoever is elected in 2012 will be even worse.
I think that in this case, Obama may be worse than 'whoever', simply because he will become a second term president. Second term presidents have nothing to loose if they go off the deep end because they can not be re-elected for a third term, so why play nice? Second term presidents really don't give a shit about anything other than making a complete power grab. (Although Obama has done pretty well in that department already)
Face it, our government is corrupt and the election process is so completely broken - It has been for decades. Effecting change simply by voting is no longer possible. From what I can see, there is really no difference between the various political parties anymore, only differences in their candidates 'pet projects'. You will never see a president who is actually 'for the people' anymore - they have all been bought off by the super-rich and mega-corporations. If an honest man (or woman) were to be elected who really was trying to help 'The Masses' and return freedoms and civil rights that have been stripped off over the last 60 years, they would be stone-walled by both the Senate and Congress.
I see people here and there speaking of a revolution, but I don't see it happening. Yet. Some of the smarter ones are waking up, but on the whole our nation is still full of people that are willing to go along with this crap - just so long as they can buy what they want to make themselves feel better. I really despise sheeple, nearly as much as our corrupt government.
I for one am not surprised about this. Personally, if you are fucking stupid enough to use the 'Cloud', you deserve what you get. Someone will either steal it, or it will be deleted without authorization. Yeah, like I am going to let someone else manage my private data and documents.

Well, with the people on the road these days...
If it really does work, why not just put it on all call phones ant make it so that it can not be disabled.
Seriously, the number of people that I see looking at their crotch while driving is staggering.
Facts? You are joking, Right? Remember, this is /.

As far as actual talent goes, I'd rank them as follows:
Alan Dean Foster on top
Piers Anthony in some what below the middle
and Stephen King way down in the dregs of the basement.
King is a moron. His writing is shit.
Most of the people here on /. would no know sarcasm if it were to bite them on the ass.
Stick an electrode up their arse. When it is time to go, zap them. About 50,000 volts will do nicely.
All joking aside, they really could just use lights. Or is the speed of light too slow as well?

You know, that was my first thought as well.

No, it really is 'You're'. As in 'You are' a dip-shit.
Well, it was not fucking redundant when I made the original post.
They are still available on their web site. Get them while you can!!!
Well, you know, unicorn farts are quite powerful. Personally, I'm for less people demanding resources.
Mod up.
Some may argue that they are unsafe even before they are built.
is the R.I.A.A. going to be pissed. Good luck with that lawsuit.
Is just *why* the blind are using lasers!
Sounds like M$ Office.
You don't need a working space elevator, just an AK-47.
truly the stupidest thing that I have heard all week.

Yeah, right....
You must drink that shit.
Actually, there is no difference between Miller and Miller Light - they both taste like piss. Or, at least what I would imagine piss to taste like.
