Yes, in your fantasy land, the "consumer smartphone market" was invented by Apple after HTC, Dell, HP, Palm, and others had already produced several models of smartphones for consumers to purchase.
Who says he saved anybody's life? 1. The hospital was not equipped for transplants. 2. The random-internet-guy wasn't the least bit suspicious. (Caution: Sarchasm guardrails not in place!) 3. The procedure seems to have been done improperly. If the patient is not in good health afterwards, do you really think the organ is faring much better? 4. Following #3, when random-shady-internet-guy inserts this organ into random-shady-person-to-be-saved, it is likely they will die of complications, rejection, infection, etc.
He's more likely to have shortened the recipient's (assuming there is one) lifespan than save them.
Who says he saved anyone's life? The hospital was not capable of doing transplants, the random-internet-guy who arranged the thing was obviously shady, and the procedure was probably not all safe for either the patient or the organ.
Because I can use SSL with Gmail, and I trust Google more than I trust some random mail server I've never heard of. Also, safe-mail advertises 3Mb (I seriously hope they're just idiots and are actually offering 3MB, because 375KB isn't going to last long for anybody who actually uses their email account. 3MB isn't going to last long, either.). Gmail currently gives me almost 8GB.
If I'm really concerned about privacy, I can use one of my many email accounts on my own server. Then again, are you sure that all the intermediary servers your mail goes through are using SSL?
Do the math. Wireless on: 30 minutes * 21 days = 0.5h * 21 = 10.5 hours Wireless off: 30 minutes per day * (60 or 62) days = 0.5h* (60 or 62) = 30h or 31h.
60 accounts for the shortest possible two months (February (28) + either adjacent month), and 62 accounts for two 31 day months.
Algorithm: a set of rules for solving a problem in a finite number of steps
Biological growth (trees are biological, in case you didn't know) has a set of rules and occurs in a finite number of steps. Repetition of a process does not make the steps of that process infinite.
1. Define fractal. 2. Define algorithm. 3. Define nature. 4. Define computer. 5. Don't make any connections between the above steps. 6. Make more ignorant comments.
"...other things whose dangers were once unknown, such as asbestos, leaded petrol and tobacco."
Yeah, um... Those are known. You can go and ban radio signals when their danger becomes known. Don't forget to ban radios in cars and TVs at home. If nothing else, if the ban spreads to America, we might at least get a bunch of paranoids to stop watching Faux News.
So, when the useless waste of oxygen with a gun who gets all depressed and emo and decides to shoot up the school arrives at the front door and a lockdown is started, nobody will be able to contact the outside world until the emo gives up and shoots themself?
1 - That's an excuse, not a reason. 2 - Ever heard of CompuServe? How about QuantumLink? Lucasfilm's Habitat? Not only were they "online", but there were also basic "MMO" entertainment programs. 3 - Maybe that explains why nobody used version numbers on programs back then. Wait.. they did? Oh, I guess they must have cared after all. 4 - You could (and still can) buy replacement chips for the computer and drive, and an optional replacement cable, to make the drive much faster. Even the original hardware could be improved with plain software "speed loaders".
You don't seem to understand. He (and others like him) can't present it for peer review. Each one of them is a higher being not subject to logic, fact, reality, or any other similar things, including other similar higher beings. As such, they have no peers, as each one of them is better than everyone else, including themselves.

The phrase is "weren't, aren't, and never will be".
Yes, and it was about 20 years ago. Then the generation of zombies came along and decided that "intellectual" should be a Bad Word.

I didn't know consoles were marketed to octopi...
Is this ferrous wheel stopped yet?

I'd say it was a bad deal, and you got burned.
A lot of inspiration can be found in seemingly bizarre experiments.

No. I understand cause and effect, though, and that actions have consequences.
Do you not understand those? If you don't, you'd not be the first I've ever met...

Compassion for stupidity only results in an increase in stupidity.
That's his own damn fault for agreeing to have some random person on the internet perform invasive surgery. Stupid actions have consequences.
Do the math.
Wireless on: 30 minutes * 21 days = 0.5h * 21 = 10.5 hours
Wireless off: 30 minutes per day * (60 or 62) days = 0.5h* (60 or 62) = 30h or 31h.

Does B&N offer 5GB per month, then advertise it as better than the competitor's unlimited option, too?

Let me check the web site... I wonder what the big orange download link that says "Windows" means... Surely it doesn't mean that it runs on Windows?!
Why use Trillian when you could use Pidgin? Silly people...
