In my car, my phone is powered. At my desk, my phone is powered. At home, my phone is powered.
The only time battery life is an issue is when I'm away from a place to plug the phone in. If my life were like a sanitary napkin commercial (riding horses, running through grassy fields, etc.) I'd have a much harder time keeping my iPhone charged.
On my iPhone my contacts and calendar entries all come from Google. They sync over the air. I even use a different calendar app because it syncs and displays better (CalenGoo).
But I have to use the browser to make a Google Voice call.
Apple's position on this is total BS. I think whoever gave Jobs his new liver was evil, and now Jobs is evil (or more evil than before?).
I publish www.eDodo.org a humor site for Air Force Academy graduates and cadets. Of course, the Academy blocks us. It's a tricky issue, but the bottom line is that the cadet dorms are gov't property and they use a gov't network, so USAFA gets to filter them.
The original Dodo magazine was an uncensored cadet publication. When the administration started censoring it, eDodo.org was born. I'm hoping more and more cadets get internet enabled smart phones to access the "free" internet.

Isn't there a iPGP or iSecure app for people to send secure text messages? How will China block that, did they get Apple to preinstall a keylogger as well?
My wife and I just opened a frozen yogurt shop* and when I asked about installing wifi she gave a big thumbs down--she wants people to get their yogurt and move on.
So I installed wireless speakers that broadcast at 2.4 GHz to "Jam" the wifi from the coffeehouse next door...
The Trackman is the greatest pointer device ever made. And there's no bluetooth version. They have a dongle wireless version, which completely misses the point.
If anybody hacked together a bluetooth trackman, I would pay $200 for it.
It seems like everybody should be OK if the cargo ships armed themselves with crossbows or pneumatic weapons. An addition to the cool "Mad Max" feel it would add to the situation, it might actually be a good way to kill pirates in small boats.
Threaten my supertanker? Here, have a couple dozen metal spears.
Molotov cocktails should also work, maybe rigged to a slingshot launcher of some kind.
In 1986 the Air Force Academy was the first college to network every dorm room (or so they told us). Every squadron (about 110 people) had a big laser printer.
Of course, the printer was always broken, but it's the same idea...
The term "you can't put too much water" is ambiguous: it can mean "impossible" or it can mean "prohibited.". If meant as impossible, the implication is that they can use as much water as needed, it will never be too much.
The other, contrary meaningis that they must not exceed the maximum amount of water (which would be too much).
...from going over critical (critical is where you want to be, as someone already pointed out).
I don't understand: do you mean "going (to the condition known as) over critical" or "going over (or beyond) critical"?
I think Ed Asner did an old SNL skit like this. Nuke plant manager leaves for vacation and tells employees: "Remember, you can't put too much water on a nuclear reactor."
Alarms go off, employees: "Did he mean, no matter how much water we put on it, it will be OK? Or did he mean that we have to make sure we don't exceed the proper amount of water?"
ISP action is definitely appropriate. If they can tell who is using torrent software, they should be able to tell who is sending spam and which machines are part of a botnet.
Filtering/quarantine at this level is like shooting down a scud missile on the way up instead of on the way down.
I always wonder why hybrid clients aren't popular. Client machine boots off the network but runs locally. Each user gets a clean image and burns their own CPU cycles. Storage and configuration is all on the network.
Each officer should have a camera, linked live to the station (like the video feeds on the Marines in "Aliens"). The dash camera on cop cars should also be fed live to the station.
This would a) provide evidence for conviction of criminals apprehended by cops and b) provide evidence against dirty cops.

I don't pick up the phone (land line) unless I recognize the caller ID. Everybody else gets to talk to the machine.
Actually, at this point I don't even get up to check the caller ID. All my friends and family know my mobile number.
How do you send less than one message to a target?

I thought that 100 to 150 years from now, the last human survivors will be scraping by in the ruins of our civilization.
Assuming that there's anybody left at all.

Ahem, the first MAJOR college campus...

What is a "disadvantaged business" anyway, and why would someone actually use that as a sales point?
Government work. Some government contracts require a percentage of the work to be done by minority/women/veteran/disadvantaged owned businesses.
