My point is this: you made a blatantly false, ignorant claim, and tried to chase after it for several messages. My linking you to the US was an attempt to give your stupidity the benefit of the doubt. Now you can't even make that claim.
I'm not talking about praising or panning something. I'm talking about not making shit up, speaking from ignorance, or just lying. You're guilty of one of the three. Take your pick. "iphone does not do tethering," is your assertion. It is wrong. This isn't me calling you out because "you didn't praise Apple". It's me calling you a fucking ignorant liar. If I had said that you were a jackass because you don't agree with Apple's method of syncing songs on an iOS device, your claim would bear merit. But no. You made up a fact (or lied) and continued to lie (or deceive).
You are entitled to your own opinion; you are not entitled to your own facts.
I guess my initial inquiry wasn't phrased clearly enough.
I see the problem with the F-16 as not able to be delivered by a boat. It's gotta be land based. That severely limits the usefulness of the platform.
So, yes, the F-16 can outdogfight the F-18. But the former is stuck at home while the F-18 is out getting the job done. (And on the other other hand, who are we going to fight with these magical air-to-air fighters? Anyone with them is going to have nukes. I think the face of future warfare is changing in ways that the Pentagon and others aren't quite grasping. Like those across the river in Congress, and those up the beltway in their contractor offices.)
No, it doesn't run android and doesn't have data plan but after playing with it I would definitely buy it for $99 if only to browse the internet when watching tv or in a hotel.
Read an article the other day and the commentariat said as much. They are also trying to coin the phrase 'shitter tablet' for tablet that are only good for web browsing while in the loo. And if you splash a little bit, you won't care about the tablet because they're so inexpensive.
whenever i have needed to change the battery on my phone, i just took it to the shop where they sell batteries and they change it for me. i neer have to do it myself. is this not possible with iphones? i doubt it.
See, you almost seemed human there, trying to improve your information. But with the last line, 'I doubt it', you prove that you are one of those subspecies of nerds, the weasly dipshit, who was not wedgied anywhere near enough while growing up.
FYI, if you in any way should belong on a site that is 'news for nerds', replacing a battery on any iPhone or iPod touch should be a no brainer. The current iPhone requires only a few steps for battery replacement. Remove screws, open case, remove another screw, remove battery. I understand that this highly complicated and technical procedure probably requires a chipfab clean room, super sensitive instruments, and years of training, but I bet one, maybe two people on this site (and at your mall battery kiosk) could figure it out.
Should I have have need to replace the battery in my phone, I'll video my 10yo kid doing it and then post it on YouTube for your benefit.
My gf only removes the battery from her Blackberry when she needs to do a hard reset (1-2x per month, it seems). I'm guessing that my iPhone4 is being hard reset when I hold down whatever magical keypresses I'm told to. The geek in me wants to know 'for sure'. But the grownup part of me says "I don't give a shit."
don't you get it?? You're a fucking retard. Way back near the beginning of the thread, you said that iPhones cannot tether, with the strong implication that this was a technical deficiency on Apple's part. JoHam corrected you. Rather than accept that the world does not begin nor end on our shores (I'm an American) AND that you might just be mistaken, you went full bore arrogant nerd. Get over yourself. Learn that you may make mistakes...
In Europe, these union acts aren't illegal at all. After all, how do you expect the right to strike to matter if the company can just hire replacement workers? Unions simply don't have enough power in the USA.
Not sure why people dislike them. Maybe it's another anti-socialist thing.
The anti-union sentiment stems from a number of sources. Various people will give one reason or another, but they all devolve back to corporate propaganda at some nascent point.
So first 'root' cause would be "if I'm a good worker, why do I need a union?" This harkens back to idiotic, Calvinist notions. See also: dominionism, Michelle Bachman, Rick Perry.
Next up is good old fashioned anti-socialist thinking. Whether linking union activity to socialists or (preferred in the US) communists, there is a ton of this. "You could do better if they weren't ripping you off for dues, if you didn't have to watch out for the protected guy in the Union, etc."
And then there is the fact that plenty of union bosses are cut from the same cloth as management. Only out for themselves and shareholders. Quick to sell out a worker.
Whatever, I work in IT where everyone fancies himself John Galt.
How relevant are the performance characteristics relative to the F-16 when the latter cannot be delivered by carrier? How many operational theatres are there where the higher performance of the F-16 is relevant? (Not being argumentative, just curious)
I've often heard this suggested wrt Johnson's Great Society programs, suggesting that guilt and sadness over JFK's death played a role in at least a few votes. No reason not to think the same would apply to NASA.
Turns out the researchers got picked on incessantly in school and, after some major embarrassment at their senior prom (involving diapers, shaving cream, and Velveeta), made a pact to be pricks towards the entire human race for the rest of their lives.
No pig's blood? They were hardly picked on at all.
Arya may be alive in body, but in spirit, she is a very different girl. (BTW, only read first four books. Waiting for number five to appear in a mass market paperback).
My thousand dollar club was worth every penny. With it I shattered the skulls of my foes and defended the realm against the white walkers. Or were you talking about some other type of club?
I call shenanigans. Everyone knows you need to use obsidian to kill white walkers.
Slashdot Mirror
Your software company is a myth.
Would you keep it down bro? If "they" block slashdot I wouldn't know what to do in my basement :(
Judging by the state of your palms, you find plenty to do in the basement.
I remember when Fiat meant Fix It Again Tony.
Ahh, Saturday. I remember that time well.
Interesting idea to grab the high end. The closest analogue I can think of is when Apple let others build Mac clones.
We all remember how well that didn't work out.

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969...
What the hell is a 'colitas'?
The proprietary memory card shouldn't be a surprise, considering it's Sony.

I'm not sure how starting over again will help save money.
Sunk cost fallacy. It might. It's unlikely, but rejecting starting over out of hand is poor analysis.

Name three superhero comics better than The Watchmen.

"It's Unix, I know this" is annoying enough to make up for the disappearance of a TON of screaming.

Hemp. Joints.
Ohhh.... I get it...
All true, but unfortunately, I need to relearn which way the scroll wheel on my mouse works.
Don't worry, I have a Plan B in case I blow the launch: another cybernetic attachment, made by Beretta.
The Beretta really isn't that much better than a Cavalier.
That'd be Wheaties(tm) - fortified with iron and vitamins, official breakfast cereal of the BigSportsTornament(r)(tm)(c) by the way.
A bowl of them with Brawndo poured over is just what I need to get going in the morning.
