correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe your owners manual recommends that you shift between N and D when you are stopping and starting.
I don't recall any such recommendation in my Saturn owners manual. The only time I ever use N is coasting down an icy hill, and it DOES help quite a bit with stopping and control.
I'm not sure how you would "bump" the stick into Neutral. On my Saturn, you have to press the button for the shift to move. If the button isn't pressed I can (and have) bump against the shifter all I want and it deosn't move.
Of course, if your car ever does go into hyperdrive, you'll probably be several light-years away by the time you can hit the kill switch, and you'll have hard vacuum to cope with (assuming you haven't passed right through the core of a nearby star or planet).
That's why I drive with the windows shut, to keep the air inside in case my car goes into deep space. Though you do have a point about the collisions with stars/planets.
Actually it did live alongside man, but man was a small rodentlike creature at the time.
65 million years ago, my great-great grandpa scurried under a rock to avoid a dinosaur. Yesterday, I scraped droppings off my car from that dino's great-great grandson.
No. It is a "phone" because it makes "phone calls". You want it to do all these other things that phones do not necessarily do... that's fine, but you need to buy a netbook and STFU.
I want my phone to make phone calls. If I want to do all the other things you mention, I use devices intended for those purposes. A phone makes calls, anything else is fluff.
A netbook doesn't fit in my pocket. There is a long list of things I do with my iPhone. Making phone calls is on that list, but I do many of the other things much more often.
The problem is when they go on vacation. The criminal already knows they're not home, but if they're tweeting from 3,000 miles away, they can be sure they won't come back to catch them in the act.
I live in an older area, where many people, including me, don't have garages. It's fairly easy to tell that I'm not home because my car is gone. They don't even need to know my schedule.
Of all the indicated ways you destroyed your phone, the only one that might be the result of anything other than your own carelessness would be the concert, but I'm not really sure how a rain storm, even a torrential downpour, would destroy a phone unless you fell in a mud puddle and submerged the phone for an extended period, in which case the question needs to be asked: "What were you doing when that phone got drenched?
Once, I got caught in a real drenchpour, the kind that could convince one to build an ark if it lasted longer than a few minutes. The phone quit working temporarily, and I suspect that its demise soon afterwards was hastened by the drenching. Admittedly, that phone was a cheap POS to begin with.
I've dropped my iPhone many times, and like the Timex, it takes a licking and keeps on, um, ringing? I'll admit, I've never dropped it in the toilet. I'll also admit that a previous phone met its end soon after being drenched in a rainstorm. But for standing up to falls on hard surfaces, Apple could use my iPhone in commercials.
I suspect the brain-dead advertisers will STILL show you tampon ads. After all, you might get married one day (though as a Slashdotter the odds are a million to one), and when you buy for your wife, they want you to remember that terrible ad you saw decades ago.
I read more often on my iPhone than on my Kindle, just because of the portability. But if I'm home with both the phone and the Kindle in reach, I'll use the Kindle. Admittedly, since I live alone, I don't have to read in the dark, but in most ways, I prefer the Kindle.

While watching TV, I can cram food down my throat with both hands. I might have to put one of my snacks down to FF past a commercial.
On the computer, I have at least one hand on the mouse. If I'm watch pr0n, my other hand might also be occupied.
Since it came from HTC?
It just smells that way.
What's REALLY annoying is when Adobe is in the middle of updating and Windows reboots to do ITS update, messing up Adobe's.
My nephew is an idiot who wrecked my last car. The valet did the right thing.

Yes it does. It makes your product later than the fast & slopper competition.

I see you're not experienced with citibank.
The sad thing is, that STILL beats my netbook's keyboard.
Minor nit, but IIRC, plutonium is element 94. Neptunium is 93.
Yeah, all those explosions do tend to loosen things.

IIRC (it's been many ages since I took HS physics), a regular hydrogen atom is one proton. A tritium atom is one proton and two neutrons.
That light was supposed to be disabled.
That explains some of the tweets I've seen.

That time is halfway accurate for me. I leave the house around 7, but I get back around 5-6.
