That's why when they really build out Elysium, the underbelly will have a logo similar to the "Like" button but with the middle finger sticking out, and it will be in blue, red, yellow, and green
I'm also opposed to the switching for the same reasons you mention (I come in to work at 7:30am for that reason), and even signed the White House petition online... but then a coworker presented one good point: when kids go out in the morning and stand outside waiting for their school bus, it would be safer for them to have some daylight. I'm still opposed to the switching, but I can also see her point of view as a good argument since it affects millions of children.
Nah, I'd say invest in a WDTV Live (which I have) or Roku box (heard they're good too), and save yourself the monthly cable fees. Those boxes are usually ~$120... add the $8/mo for Netflix or Hulu Plus, and you won't need cable subscription... AND you don't get ads, you control what you want to see when you want to see it, etc. As an added bonus, these boxes play most media files from external hard drives connected via USB, and have HDMI connection out to TV. Netflix and Hulu have documentaries on nature, war, social issues, etc. that can keep you busy for weeks on end.
great idea, unfortunately droidwall requires rooting your phone. I'm not criticizing anyone that does it, i just don't have any intentions of doing that myself.
i downloaded a game that requested GPS and network info -- the dev's website stated that it was used by the ads to target audiences. In such case, it'd be great to turn off those features for that specific app. Now, if a PAID app asks for such things, then you should definitely question their motives.

why was parent modded "funny"? Quite informative from what seems like a practitioner's point of view.
Besides, you got it wrong... it's: "All Your Base ARE Belong To Us" :)
