Rumour has it that Android 4.2 will introduce an advanced skinning system that lets the manufacturer put its skin on but still get OS updates directly from Google. As a bonus the manufacturer (or hacker) will be able to enable an option to switch to vanilla Android too. I really hope that is true.
Seems unlikely. Android 4.2 was released months ago and I haven't noticed this functionality in it yet.
If it really was just that much of an emergency, you'd have rushed out to town, paid 50% more, and got it immediately...
Unfortunately I've no idea where I would even find one locally, quicker just to buy it on amazon with next day shipping than to hunt all over town for one.
Eh I NEEDED a pata hard drive that I've no clue where I would have found one online, it was a sort of emergency I have until sunday to get it finished. Luckily for me I loaded up amazon right at the end of the outage, i got the error hit refresh, got it again hit slashdot saw nothing, tired refresh again and it worked so yay there. Fixing a computer for an accountant and with tax season starting up it was rather an emergency, however given that I have the whole weekend to finish the machine up I suppose not really.
Mikrotik are pretty decent on the consumer end, a bit pricey and no dual band stuff in the consumer range (hell no 5ghz period in the consumer range) but nice for what they are.
In really crowded areas you might see more usable distance with 5ghz than 2.4ghz simply by virtue the speed on 2.4ghz being so unusable at any distance that the 5ghz stuff works better at any distance.
Because the gun crime showed an insignificant change as per your snopes article and violent crime in the uk has always been nearly 4x the rate of the us. You yourself already covered the Australia one and the uk violent crime rate is just ridiculous, why do you think they push government monitored security cameras so heavily?
I'm not cherry picking i googled gun crime in the uk and violent crime in australia, first links for those googled results or are you saying google is cherry picking? (mind you google banned guns from their google shopping listings so that wouldn't make much sense) but here some hard numbers for the uk since you have trouble in 1998/99 there were 13,874 instances of reported gun crime, of those 566 were "imitation" firearms and 8,665 were air guns (note these are both covered under the ban and actually are quite deadly in and of themselves at the ranges involved) leaving 4643 total actual true powder powered gun crimes. In 2005/06 there were 21,521 reported gun crimes (note this is the lowest point since the ban in the report the other years were quite a bit higher) where 3,275 were "imitation" guns and 10,437 were air guns leaving 7,809 total true powder powered gun crimes.
Now on the imitation guns this includes things like improvised weapons firing non bullet projectiles and blank firing guns, anyone who has ever dealt with.either of these can tell you at close range both of those are just as deadly as a pistol, take a blank to the face from an open barrel and you will not survive.
On to the airguns, all that needs to be said about those is Girandoni Air Rifle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girandoni_Air_Rifle/) Those aren't handguns mind you but there are less powerful (though still quite lethal) air powered handguns in use in the world.
Now I "cherry picked" as you put it the best numbers in your favor, they still point to gun crime showing a drastic rise since the gun ban was instituted in the UK.
If you think the other years in the report are better... well theres 2002/03 with 24,070 or 2003/04 with 24,094. Sorry buddy the numbers absolutely aren't in your favor in UK Gun crime.
Now on to Australia's violent crime ahref=http://www.aic.gov.au/statistics/violent%20crime.htmlrel=url2html-7348http://www.aic.gov.au/statistics/violent%20crime.html/> Enjoy the graph it shows a clear trend upwards 2007 has the highest recorded rate since 1996 when the gun ban was instituted. The numbers absolutely are not in your favor in either region and snopes is entirely irrelevant to the discussion at hand.
I actually like NAT when used at home scale. With NAT there's only one way in and out the network, and it's very simple to collectively control what goes out and what goes in. Managing a set of IPs would be less convenient, especially when I have services I want to be visible only to LAN. With NAT, everything is LAN-only by default. It is quite similar to the whitelisting approach in information security, the NAT approach shares many of the benefits and drawbacks.
You can accomplish exactly that without nat, it's just a firewall set to deny only (in fact unless you do that even with nat your lan is almost as open as without nat.) The big #1 benefit to nat is your internal addresses aren't dependent on your isp's configuration, it allows you to have your own subnetting that YOU control without having an AS and address assignment.
There are plenty of hunters who use handguns, further it's nice to have a gun that can fit in your survival bag and store the ammunition in a secure manner. a 30 round magazine can last you a while if you are a good shot. If it's your thing you could easily go out in the wilderness and stay on an extended trip using just your high capacity rifle to hunt and take food. Commercial hunters also have a need to carry extended capacity magazines. Alligator hunters in a busy area may move from line to line to line non stop being able to not have to stop to reload as often can increase your take for the day or if you come into an area with more than 5 alligators on the water all right on the surface allow you to pop one, move to get it then while your partner is bringing it into the boat pop the next before the gators have a chance to leave the area. Commercial alligator hunters can have hundreds of tags to fill in a single month, you're talking about severely handicapping those people and drastically increasing the population of gators in the area if they are unable to fill their tags.
I know the difference between gun crime and violent crime, I know gun crime has doubled in the UK since the gun ban and violent crime has gone up in Australia since the gun ban. I also know that there is no ban on gun crime research just as I checked, look into it sure enough there's a narrow restriction on gun crime research
What's needed is the lifting of the Republican ban on government research on gun crime. They are afraid of real definitive figures being researched and published.
also what ban on research on gun crime? there's just a ban on pro gun research afaik.
It's all cherry picking and distortion. That's why I pointed you at Snopes.
You pointed me to a snopes article that doesn;t even cover violent crime in response to Australia violent crime. It's entirely irrelevant to anything in this discussion. If you notice my sources all cite studies, check the studies you'll notice you're wrong.
The statistics in england show gun crime rose when guns became more controlled and violent crime rose when guns became more controlled, try reading the link he linked you to and notice how it says violent crime while snopes says gun crime (violent crime is a superset of guncrime and the snopes article only covers a small subset of violent crime, see how they can both be right?)
You didn't read his link or his post did you? His link related to violent crime (and his post) your link related to just gun crime, there is a different there buddy.
England has government cameras on just about every street corner in major cities, I wouldn't exactly say they have almost the same freedoms as people in the USA

They use SIM cards for data on 4g. If you're in a 3g only area or want to call someone then your sim isn't in use.

You mean froyo android? afaik there was no frodo release of android.
They have a new quick setup bit that comes up the first time you plug your router in to make it a whole lot easier for end users to configure.

Business service here in Baton Rouge, LA working just fine as far as I can see no outages in my logs.
