I find it funny that you're defending mobile service in the US. Do you own a passport? Most people in the US don't. I do actually travel frequently outside the US, and having one Android phone for anywhere I find myself is valuable. Are you a shill for the phone company?
Somewhat agree, but I like to watch movies at my summer house, and there is no internet, no phone, no cable, no television, no broadband service, and the wireless coverage there is almost non-existant. The house has electricity, so putting a physical disk into my laptop and watching it that way is the only way I can watch a movie other than going down to the movie theater in town. I also like to play computer games there, and because of this, any of the game makers who force you to be online to play their game in single player mode can go fuck themselves.
It sounds like you want Hollywood to change as if you like them, and you want them to continue existing. I hope they don't change at all and die like Kodak. What I don't like is their continual attempts to fuck me right in the asshole with the evil laws that they try to get passed.
Why not have more companies that provide phone, messaging, and data service? Why allow TMobile and AT&T to retain their near monopoly over GSM service in the US? Sure, they may be flirting with a family data plan, but I'm know that it will be just like their family talk plans, overpriced and unfair. The only way that mobile phone service in the US is going to improve is to have more providers and stop allowing TMobile and AT&T to stifle competition.
I don't disagree with you at all, but when I read the statement "we know that in sudden, widespread disruptive events people loot. It doesn't matter whether it is natural disaster, invasion, or just a neighborhood breakdown in public order" I immediately thought about the blackout in New York City and the rest of the upper northeast of the US and Canada back in 2003. I remember the newspaper headlines saying "Blackout in New York City, No Looting Occurred" or something like that. So, I went back and researched the blackout on wikipedia, and there was in fact looting reported in Brooklyn but nowhere else in New York, or anywhere else in the US for that matter. There were incidents of looting in Canada, however.
This leads me to ask the question, why was there no widespread looting? If your statement is true, there should have been looting everywhere in New York. What about this incident made it different than other blackouts?
I dug a bit further, and it seems that even the 1965 New York blackout had almost no looting. Not only that, but the night of the blackout was "said to be the lowest amount of crime on any night in the city's history since records were first kept."
Did it have something to do with the fact that businesses began giving food that would have otherwise spoiled away for free to passers-by? I'm not sure.
Not sure where you live, but in Piter vodka is pretty cheap. 200 rub will get you a decent bottle of Z Mark, and that works out to about $6. The same size bottle of vodyara in the US would cost about $25. If you spend that kind of money in Russia, you'll be buying Tsarskaya or Gaufman. Then there's my favorite place, Ukraine. Everything is crazy cheap there, I love it. Go visit the city of Nemirov in Ukraine. That's where they make Nemiroff Vodka. Nice.
The user experience on Mac is incredibly bad. Firefox is borderline useless. Cut and paste operations, scrolling after you open a new window, and many other actions are frustratingly laggy. None of the other browsers, Safari, Chromium, or Opera have this problem. It is painful to use Firefox on a Mac.
Thankfully doctors are more likely to be nice people and not slashdotters like you all. Fuck em if they're poor. Government handouts are for commies.
In reality doctors swear an oath to practice medicine ethically. That means giving care and then worrying about payment and money, not the other way around.
I know quite a few doctors who work with people without insurance, and they do things like gather bags of drug samples to give to patients who can't afford the medicine from a pharmacy, or who will lower their payment drastically if they know you are paying cash and don't have insurance.
There is even the slightly darker side of it (I have friends who are photographers and artists, and they know and use many doctors like this): doctors who will proscribe you what you need without a visit, or with the briefest of visits to simply explain what you think you need. These are probably the same doctors that routinely get busted for handing out oxycontin, but it's not the only thing they do.
I repeat. You must have insurance just like the OP does. So, you've never visited an urgent care clinic? Go check it out, then come back and tell me I'm wrong. See if they will treat you for anything at all if you don't have enough cash on you. See if they don't call the police if your poor ass stays there too long and you don't have cash.
Don't bother with a VPS for this sort of thing. Just buy a dedicated server. You can get one for fairly cheap compared to the specs on a VPS when you want to go that high with HDD space. A good service for this is serverpronto.com.
Unbelievably fast. I have not used Opera in quite a while, and I just installed it to try it. It is even faster than Chrome, which seemed extremely fast compared to Firefox when I first installed it. I am running a 6 core AMD machine, and Opera basically instantly opens everything. You can't really tell that it "loads" the page just changes to the next right when you click. Amazing.
My only gripe, and it's a big one, is that Opera is not open source. That might be a deal breaker.

Not to mention that support for non-GSM Android phones seems to be being scrapped.

Is there a hardware version of vaporware, or does the word cover hardware as well?
I just wish these kids would stay off my lawn.
Effect is a noun, not a verb. Affect is a verb. I think that's the word you were searching for.
This crazy BS comes up every year. It will be back next year. Somehow this stuff slips past the /. editors.

That's not legal. An emergency room has to care for you.

Fire up Tor and visit this site! It scrolls on for pages and pages!
You must have insurance. What if you don't have insurance, and it is Saturday?
Goto? I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with it.
