There might be vendors. Just find out which vendors actually gave update in the past(HTC+samsung mainly?). There is a huge difference of vendors that release a phone that is already outdated when released, and vendors that gave updates form 1.5 till 2.1/2.2
After that, i miss the point of buying a top of the line phone now, and expect updates 2 year later. In 2 years that tech is horribly outdated. Same as you saw on iPhone. running ios4 on a previous generation iPhone disappointed a lot of people.
If you have 300-700 euros to spend on a phone, you can renew it every 1-2 years. If not you are way over budget (phone can be damaged/stolen way too easy, insurance does not cover everything). iPhone is not different, drop it and the glass breaks.
A good working app market, and goog google services is one thing. But they can still win customers back. The one thing on the side of google is time. Google does have early access to next release of android. Members who do not play the rules correct will only have very late access to the latste version of android. Google will release source eventually, but when the latest google phone is released, google already tested it for several months with the very latest version of android. After that they start to release the software. From that moment "strange"handset makers can port their software to that version. With good quality control they are about 6 months later. after 6 months google has already released or announced the next version.
So handset makers can release bing/baidu apps on android, but only on old android, not the newest/latest. This might be acceptable on "budget" phones, but not on high end phones.
if you want one Tld, why sepcify in 3 decimals that you want exactly one, and then forget to specify which one? That is no way to rule the world mister Anonymous.;)
Seems simple enough, but if you do not tell wat clarification then it does not help. YOu can make a parallel hybrid with a very small electric motor and a very powerful combustion engine, or the opposite, a very powerful electric engine and a combustion engine that is enough to limb home.
It all depends what the target of the car is. If you want a zero-exhaust car then a all electric car would be the best option. This might be th eonly option to keep the centre of your town habitable. If you want every efficiency then the parallel cars might be a good option. However they will have to rated on actual exhaust values in avarge use. Traditional small cars with a combustible engine might beat hybrids here. But that even depends on things like the climate. (In cold climates the heat of the engine is not lost because the car needs heating anyway, in hot climates you power the AC efficient with a battery). If co2 is the concern then co2 exhaust of electricity generation will have to be taken into account. There is a lot of room to make that more efficient.
Make the requirement to complicated and users will work arround it. 1 -Put it on a yellow memo under the keyboard (YES YOU!!!) 2 -Take a complicated password.... and add a increment before or after it everytime you have to change. (if you have a automated policy against this, see 1. )
Tcpcrypt has the same overhead as ssl, except you do not have the CA authority key.
It does not help against MITM atacks. And MITM is the same attack that will happen with fake access points that is the next possible attack if unencrypted wireless stops being popular. For that you need SSL with CA athority.
Don't forget that there are other edition going round as well for a long time,
The Java MobileEdition (that was never free, and caused the fields of use clause in their license) and the Enterprice Edition (license?). They did use different classes, but i think the same vm(correct me if i am false). Makeing a differnce in vm is not a big step.
Because your behaviour is different you will be take to a examination room. If you miss your flight due to this that is your problem. Not the problem of the security.
Don't try to make a point to the underpaid security guys. It is the wrong place. Best reaction is that they don't care, worse reaction is that they will do the powerplay. Just like you do not mention a "bomb" in the airport. Security does not take jokes like the online community here.
The whole security theather is not about the whole efficiency of the measures. It is more a thing that someone who thinks he is responsible can say that all measures are taken. Your 2.30 minute delay will not make an impact for this. As the writer of the article points out, it would be more effective to attack the security waiting queue. It will shut down air traffic just as effective. Bad guys will route arround the security
However if it makes you feel good then please take the ball feeling pat down instead of the penis measure machine. the fact that you feel you did your part to resist this is a good start.

what clarification do you want law-maker to ask?
YOu can buyu your own tld to rule the world for about $185.000 according to this article which is really a doable amount for the internet monopolists.

Read the patent. The patent speaks about electromagnetic waves not switches. YOu need to use light or IR (kinect uses IR)

PS.. greetings from mordoc the information preventer in 1998
Yes i use the firefox Noscript to only run javascript from trusted sources. I was not aware that the link needed that extension.
Because i am paranoid enough to disable javascript (and disbaleing javascript is also effective against a lot of evercookie stuff)
PS PLease note that if you run the link multiple times you might seem to get less unique, because your setup is detected twice that way.
Agreed. I did not read up on tcpcrypt, but you might be right there. (would have spend mods points but i
But is it better security than setting a default "free" wpa2 password on open access points?
Tcpcrypt has the same overhead as ssl, except you do not have the CA authority key.

You are unique Just like everyone else
please tell me how unique you are there... (me: one in 627,021 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.)
Since you have a special setup i wonder if you can really hide in the crowd.
It might have been a lawsuit about a real stargate and the control software for it, disguised as a game that will never finish.
There is software that can intercept (called filter in windows) usb communication.
google for "usb port monitor"

Please step aside sir.

Terrorist could just blow up the waiting queue for the scanner. all air traffic will be stopped that day. just as effective.
Or mail a bomb to stop all mail from a ararib country.
And as pointed out by others: There are still holes in this scanner.
Winner takes it all.
you would have to wake up at Sunday 3 am to set the time to 2 am. Most alarm clocks in that price range do not do summer -> winter time conversions.
You can of course cheat by changing the clock the next morning or the evening before.
There is no app for that.

blame Macaulay Culkin for this. YOu can see what a disaster a young child can cause.
PS, this was typed by my dog. Sue him!
Already predicted before you
the last line of my post should have been a giveaway that this was meant sarcastically, but you and a moderator thought otherwise.... ;)
And if do or say anything that you are ashamed for(or will be ashamed for in some years), you should not have done it in the first place.
And don't forget advertisers already have this information available to make better targeted ads, so this only equals the balance.
Oh, and don't forget thefacebook really cares about what privacy is.
Mod parent up
Well the summery had to choose between MS bashing or Patent bashing. Pick one.
PS, using the word "fucked" will get you fucked modded down, nerds don't get this word.
