Sure this is probably inflating an existing problem, but "before the internet" people were either self diagnosing or getting 'advice' from friends that was equal to what they're finding on the internet these days.

How the hell is this new? Because Apple did it? Have none of you been aware of game consoles for the past several decades? How is an iPad particularly different from a Nintendo DS or Sony PS3?
Sprint flips one bit one time and charges the customer $30 per month indefinitely. That's redonculous. They're allowing their customers to pay them to use the hardware the customer already owns, and provide the customer no additional service. It's not like you get wifi access point AND more bandwidth. You just get to connect to the phone from another device via wifi. I bet the wifi devices get private IPs too, so you're not even getting more public IP addresses.
Others have already stated this is not actually a block, but if it had been...
I wonder if a distributed proxy would work. Run a client on your computer that puts you into a pool. Point your browser to localhost web server where it provides a search interface and submit your query. The client randomly picks another host in the network where your request is carried out and returns your results.
After a couple hundred thousand users go online the amount of mixed requests muddles the data so much that it's all useless to Google.
I split my keys out into smaller groups and only take what I will need on that trip, and always have them in my front right pocket (that's where keys go!), and phone in front left.
One keyring is my car key and remote unlock doodad. My key to my wife's car is a combo key+remote and is not on a ring, but is adequate size to not be easily lost or mistaken. My work keys are an RF dongle and three metal keys on their own ring. Both cars have a remote garage door opener and I don't need house keys. In fact, now that I think about it, the only time I use physical keys anymore is to start a car and unlock the door to my office which is often already open with my office-mate already there. My car has a start button but still requires a key - though many even newer cars don't require physical key. The days I bike to work my key collection gets pretty simple.
How much longer until we don't use classic keys anymore?
The main thing to carrying keys is to not load up the keyring with a bunch of useless crap. Efficiency is paramount. And too much junk on the ring makes you look like a 13 year old girl. If the knife is small enough to mix in with a key ring then it's too small to be useful - if it's big enough to be useful then it's too big to fit on a key ring. Separate them and give the knife its own deserved pocket or leave it behind where it's safe.
But what does it say about the state of programming practice writ large when so many developers believe that their 'rights' are trampled because they cannot write programs for a particular device in a particular language?
What does it say? It says that the programming community has been trampled by artists and artist mentalities where engineers used to be the dominating group. People who actually understood how and why things worked they way they do.
But to a certain degree, Apple is losing a large market of programs by now supporting the developers who write their software in a certain (very popular) language.
But mostly I think these people are twerps who need to adapt or find a different platform.
It's most likely an 8" chef's knife. However, a meat cleaver would be better since the front and back edges are closer to parallel, where as the chef's knife is tapered to a point. The parallel edges would give a more precise cut when hammering on the back edge.
I wonder what alternates to solar panels they've considered. Seems like a satellite could collect solar energy 24.6583 by 7 and beam it to the rover(s) using microwave or something. And the rover could carry less equipment, not have to worry about dust so much, and operate around the clock.
But wouldn't the fact that it's a jet engine lend one to believe the liquid glass would get blown out the back end rather than sticking to the inner bits?
I've been saying this for years! Random level generation in first person shooters, racers, and platformers doesn't seem terribly complex to me. Why hasn't anyone introduced this into a game yet?
To expand on it, random levels in first person shooters could also be changing during game play so that the 'round' never resets and the game continues endlessly. Any time a zone is unoccupied it could be redrawn. Or divide the map into a grid and randomly load the grid spaces with pre-designed sections, then when a section is free of players load a new section. The map will be constantly changing and the environment will be challenging. I believe this would effectively eliminate campers who memorize the best spots on maps and just hang out there the whole game.
I've never understood this desire for eye controlled devices. With the exception of targeting a personal firearm, my eyes bounce around to so many objects so fast that I can barely type a sentence without getting completely distracted. If the cursor was controlled by my eyes while I was typing this paragraph would be nothing but a jumble of text, and half the letters would be strewn about my office.
When these kinds of topics come up I always reference the screen on the Dell 8100 laptop. It was a 15" LCD with 1600 x 1200 pixels. That's HUGE resolution by today's standards. If it was carried out to a 30" 4:3 display you'd be looking at 3200 x 2400, putting the real 30" displays to shame at their measly 2560 x 1600.
I've done the DPI calculations before and don't care to do the math again, but that was the highest DPI consumer LCD I've ever worked with and it was awesome. Until it fried itself and started throwing magenta pixels all over the image.
The only way you'll ever see email spam or any other highly irritating marketing ploy go away is if it stops be profitable. And email spam is pretty damn cheap for the people pumping it out.
Small steps here, people. We already have face tracking. They'll go from the Wiimote to head tracking cameras pretty quickly and you won't need to wear anything special to make it work. Give it time.
20% is plenty more than a few dollars. If they bought from Amazon when the device was new they paid Euro equivalent of $600 USD, which would be $120 USD back. That's a fair chunk of change - likely more than a day's pay for the vast majority of PS3 owners.
This is really good news and sets a very important precedent in the digital market of internet connected devices. You can not sell something with an included or promised feature (at time of purchase) and then take it away. That action would seem to correlate to theft.

NASA is my hero. They do cool shit all the time. Even when their stuff breaks, it's cool. Then they fix it and it's even more cool.

$29.99 per month to flip a bit? I'm in the wrong business.
And you know this because you read it on the internet? The same place the hardware was 'leaked'?
It's really easy to lie some more once you've started.

I have to do it. My parents own a kitchen store.
THAT'S NOT A MEAT CLEAVER!

Right, because that's practical :D

A) I fucking hate Apple. But everything you said is correct.
2) Console gaming proves it.
