Just put one of those void if broken seal and a notice to always check the seal.
I still haven't managed to figure out if the tarball you download from the main page has been compromised.. Yes GIT saved everybody and all, but they seem to not want to say anything about the front page tarball, makes me curious

We’ve fought to stay in print ever since the dot-com crash nearly killed us, 11 years ago. Before that crash, we were fat with ads from well-funded startups.

That’s our mission, and we’re sticking to it. The question is, what’s the best way? Today, it’s hard to say print is that best way, especially with more and more people spending more and more time reading glowing rectangles rather than paper.

It has become easier, and more acceptable, for people to pay for goods that also are available for free. There has been much experimentation here, and we are among the many doing the experimenting. One advantage for us is that we’ve always had paying subscribers. Maybe it’s crazy to think they’ll stick with us after we go all-digital. But, I don’t think so.

And in exchange for the extra couple hundred dollars, you get world-class support - everything from prompt OS updates to a wide range of peripherals to the best in-store experience in the industry. I had an out-of-warranty iPhone die on me, and Apple swapped it out free of charge.
Lucky you, I had a broken home button (just that and yet the phone was completely useless), no warranty and it cost me 100 euros to get it fixed (a refurbished phone btw).
Judgement Day itself can change according to different realities, but the main concept is the day that the machines become self aware. How long until this robot decides that he is sick and tired of making coffee or catching balls?
yes but you would only be getting channels that you are already paying for and can watch them only inside your home. if i didn't own a tv i wouldn't have the cable contract in the first place. if im watching it on my tv i surely wont be watching it on my phone, and viceversa. therefore they aren't loosing customers, actually the way i see it they are permitting viewing of simultaneous channels at once (instead on a parent having to watch a kid show because of his child, he can get his phone and watch another channel, therefore doubling the amount of commercials viewed inside the house).

Yes and people before the cell phone age woke up at random hours of the day...
