The sub-headline is enough "Even at the speed of light, you’ll never reach these galaxies." Say you wanted to go to Andromeda, not the closest galaxy but not exactly far on a galactic scale, At the speed of light that's still going to take 2.5 million years to get there, not really what most people would define as achievable, If we want to reach any other galaxy we're going to have to be going a hell of a lot faster than the speed of light.
apps: on iPhone you're locked in to the default phone and sms apps as well as the default launcher. also there's no stupid customization apps like putting cats everywhere. otherwise, just get an iPhone man the life will be a lot easier.
I don't know anybody who pirates shows to a sd card and watches them on their phone. i'm pretty sure that use case is imaginary.
Fucking music you idiot. I use my phone as my mp3 player, sure the iphone has enough memory for some people or you can pay an extortionate premium for more memory (but remember to keep enough for your apps, pictures and videos too and don't forget to keep double the free space for anything else you may want) but at the end of the day your stuck with what they think is necessary. And before you start with that whole use itunes sync and cloud bollocks you can fuck right off, itunes is shockingly horrible. I can use any computer to organise, add or remove files, and hey you like this song or picture I have? Let me bluetooth that to you...oh wait.
Some of you guys seem to think there's some kind of conspiracy if a salesperson recommends a droid over iphone. I wonder how many iphone users have an iphone not because it's the best device for their needs but because it's cool thing to have. I wonder how many even put consideration into what they wanted from a device, because most who do, choose android. It's not necessarily better but it's definitely not as bad. Unless you have apple everything else and live firmly in the iGarden then an iphone is going to cause headaches.
How were the seller's hands tied exactly? Most app developers just click every country in the app store when it comes to selling it. The only reason I can think of for a developer not to sell an app in a certain country is that he is not allowed to sell it there, because of content which is illegal in that country, or because the software uses libraries with a license that restricts sales in certain countries. In both cases it is appropriate not to sell the app there, and no fault of the "bastards in the middle"
I'd say those are both bastards in the middle. You've just switched apple with less visible who decide what is legal (apple are hardly known for being 'edgy' so anything on the iapplestore is not likely to be objectionable) or those who decide what software licenses are valid in what places for whatever reason. I though the whole net thing was supposed to be one big place separate from countries and borders, but no, they're still there just slightly easier to get around in some cases.
...there is something wrong with a society that can't pay their workers a proper wage
I'm not sure how you make this judgment. There isn't, and has never been, a society that does not or has not struggled with poverty. When you say that something is wrong, it implies a deviation from the norm. You might as well be saying "there is something wrong with a closed system where entropy alway increases" or "there is something wrong with a society in which all of its members will inevitably die."
Just because something has always been a way doesn't make it right.
Teenagers can do actual work like mowing lawns, etc...
I pay a local teen $20 every 2 weeks to mow my lawn, he has 30 houses he mows in the neighborhood, so he is bringing home $600 tax free every 2 weeks. Pretty damn good money for a kid.
and he is undercutting the lawn services by 50% making it easy to get clients.
Until he gets all the clients, forces the legit guys out of business and then boom 200% price rise when he has to go legit (maybe) and take on a couple more kids to cover the massive patch he's got going.
"So broken the rest of the world already does it..."
You seriously believe that? You should visit the far east, india or africa sometime and wise up.
I bet lots of US companies would love to get away with the kind of shit foxxcon does. Is that how you see the ideal job market? Why does it seem that a lot of Americans (some of you seem sane) want nothing more than to be rich and don't give a shit if everyone else is dirt poor. The 'company' seems to have most consideration for it's right to exist and make massive profits while employees are little better than chattel and that's fucked up.

There's a species known as Felis Sapiens that evolved from Lister's cat.

Pretty sure Kat has a desire to procreate, S-E-X I think I want it (comes across Lister's prone form) S-E-X I think I found it.
Well if the examiner cant understand it immediately, they should deny it, if in doubt dent. Yeah I know they get paid for approvals and all that but really, the whole system sucks, it needs pulling out, burning, having the ashes jumped on then started again using common sense.
Or if it isn't immediately obviously what the patent is even for.
You're also expected to be a subject-matter-expert on every application that crosses your desk. And remember, you have 2 minutes to review an application written by lawyers paid to write confusing applications.

espionage
spn,-d/
noun
noun: espionage
the practice of spying or of using spies, typically by governments to obtain political and military information.
That's quite different to unofficially releasing classified documents for the supposed exposition of wrongdoing, they may be trying to call it espionage but it's not. The end result may be very similar although I'm pretty sure most entities don't publicly release the fruits of their espionage.
FFS you two, reading fail "certain designs have become lauded for their far-sighted strengths – the Supermarine Spitfire; Douglas DC-3 Dakota; or the Anglo-French Concorde supersonic airliner," Those are examples of good planes.
At $2bn per aircraft and only 21 units ever produced, the B-2 stealth bomber attained a level of boondogglery (is that a word?) that the F-35 can only dream of.
That's what they should be scrapping, not the A-10.

Shut up you apple fanboy. Retina display is marketing speak to fool the sheeple who will buy anything if it has an apple logo
It's amazing that Apple can make a feature out of displays that failed Samsung quality control! They weren't good enough for Samsung products, so they're downgraded and used for Apple products......
That's apple, put a fancy name to it and tell people it's good. What does Joe Everyman know about displays? Fuck all is what.
The police will find you guilty of something. It is their job to find you guilty of something. Do you really think anything you "DON''T" say would help a criminal get away? Again, the police will find you guilty of something.
A bit of helpful advice: If your daughter is kidnapped, call your lawyer BEFORE you call the police. Sure, you're innocent. Sure, some innocent people get lucky when they talk to the police. But there are over 2 million people in prison in this country, and they're not all guilty.
Yes, because everyone knows when a loved one is missing/in danger the first thing you should do is cover your ass and that's not at all suspicious.
You need to assume that a business will first and foremost look after its own interests, which is to make money.
(Most) businesses get their money from customers, happy customers come back and spend more, dissatisfied customers go else where. You can only get away with being cunts to your customers when they need what you're selling and no one else or very few competitors are.
When we all decide to get together for a beer or a meal, it needs to be near his part of town so he can walk; or if it's somewhere else, he'll arrange for someone to come pick him up.. If no one is able (or willing) to pick him up, he doesn't join in... He misses out (by choice)...
Unless you're encouraging drink driving how is a car going to help? If he just doesn't drink or refuses to pay for a taxi then that's different.

Moving stairs/staircase. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

"$15 per hour is barely a livable wage currently
Maybe you should look up the definition of the word minimum.
"minimum: 1: the least quantity assignable, admissible, or possible
Maybe you should realise there's a difference between a minimum wage and a livable one.

They are tortured for both info, as well as tortured for just the pleasure of it (foreign agents tend to be the lowest of the low of any society.)
Of course, domestic agents are so much more refined than those horrible foreign ones.
