My n810 has a software-togglable "USB-Host-Mode" that allows you to connect usb drives (acutally done this myself), serial adapters, keyboards, etc. Hell, people have connected USB 3G adapters to n810's!
Just because Apple's USB port is crap, doesn't mean USB is crap.
I don't see how that has ANYTHING to do with the fact that it was USB. If a company is going to surface-mount an external connector, it's going to break unless it's magnet-held contact-only (like the mac charging cables).
Because people get upset when their phone start roaming and the $50 top-up card they bought runs out at the end of the day and they can't phone for a taxi home.
Most people aren't bright, and for every person it fosters a love of exploration and challenge, it'll create fifty more who view it as normal and try to club the other kid over the head for trying to get them all into trouble.
It was my experience that the other students asked the smart one for copies of his "magic USB drive". Expecting students to police each other is NOT a good game plan!
So what if he does? It's not your job to police the administration, if the administration want you to be policed (or more likely police each other), THEN you filter their internet.
At my old high school, every student had to get a signed note from their parents at the beginning of the year stating that they were permitted to use the computers. Those that weren't allowed (or were to lazy to ask) most likely just forged it.
Every QR code application I've ever seen shows a preview of the content before anything is loaded. At worst, you'd see "goatse.cx". QR was designed to hold a LOT more information than you could possible read using OCR at that size.
There is no requirement to change your plan if you buy the phone outright, which is cheaper in the long run anyway.
Only if your area has a service provider that A) Supports the phone's wireless technology (GSM vs CDMA) and B) Actually gives you a discount for bring-your-own.
What I found really interesting about TFA is that it mentioned a new feature enabling Word to import PDF files and *edit* them. How often have you wished you had the ability to do _that_ (I have wished for a long, long time)? Why wasn't this mentioned on/.?
Because there is already a mainstream office suite that does that, but Microsoft's will be the first (and probably last seeing as the spec has undocumented sections) to be fully compatible with OXML.
We currently run our small business's financial stuff off LibreOffice and the csv output of our PayPal account. We are going to be replacing it with a custom database that interfaces directly with our online store so we don't have to keep copy/pasting every time we make a sale.
Professional photographers don't browse through their photos like a kid looking for a movie to watch, they are categorized (and automatically tagged) by date, location, shoot, event, subject, etc. If you are a professional photographer and it takes you more than 10 seconds to find any particular photo, you need to use better organization software.
It seems every time slashdot (or anyone else for that matter) announce an up-and-coming once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event that we MUST see, they completely forget to say WHERE the damn thing will be visible and what timezone the damn times are in. This one just says "before dawn" before WHO's dawn and in what part of the world?!?
Crashplan may be unlimited, but upload bandwidth sure as hell isn't. With a 300GB/month cap on most ISP's 8TB will take 27 months to back up. You can seed the offsite by mailing a HDD to them (or 4 in this case), but you still need to upload all the new stuff on a regular basis which could easily saturate your connection or make you hit your limit every other month.
HDD's are more than just cases with platters. At those temperatures expect circuit boards to fry, magnets to lose their strength, seals to melt, connectors to "fall off", voice coils to become wires, spindles to warp, plastic to drip, etc. Transplanting platters is NOT something you do yourself and costs THOUSANDS to get done professionally (and hope it works).

There's a big difference between "can hold the weight of a device" and "can stop a device falling at an angle".

Even pre-paid gets screwed with roaming.

Properly written websites DO have easy to remember URL's.

Just be careful if you come across any wrecked spaceships with a dead pilot who has a big hole in his chest.
Or at the very least, make sure you have Sigourney Weaver with you.
From what I've seen, leaving the earth with her is basically a death sentence.

Especially if you use any other program to open it!
Riiiight, blame the internet. Must have been a crossed tube somewhere....
Not to mention the lack of a SUBJECT!
You forgot Bob.
Basically once you get below the oder of the wavelength, one cannot discern the details

Just use an encrypted partition on the external media.
