Except with many smartphones you aren't locked into a single point of sale. There are plenty of very good Windows Mobile applications that vendors sell directly to the consumer, for example.
Until there is a 'cure' (if ever) they should get life sentences instead then because, as you point you, their recitivism rate is among the highest of any crime. I'd even say anyone who rapes(not just fondle, outright rape) a child under 10 should be exectued, but the Supreme Court already ruled that raping a child doesn't rise to that level.
H211 LLC, the company that owns the planes they use, has no financial connections to Google other than it's owned by the same owners. Save your indignance for something more worthy.
That depends on the lights. If I stand under my roomful of 1000 watt grow lights that I use to grow my...um tomatoes...that light is actually quite good for you.
That is why I recommended a weak solution. It will kill the tiny nasties and brief exposure will NOT hurt the metals. I've used it a few times to clean old electronics and have yet to have any problems.
Pure alcohol will work too, as noted by other posters.
Do not underestimate the potential of nanobears with regards to their ability to fight diseases like cancer. I for one welcome our microscopic ursine overlords.
I can agree with that, but the '5 year' thing seems to be a pretty standard stance taken by technologists and scientists alike these days. I think it might be an attempt to attract capital. If you tell people something is 20 years away they are probably less likely to throw money at it. I'm not saying I agree with that; it is what it is.
No MMO ever has duplicated the good, epic storylines of games like Planescape or Baldur's Gate. It's literally impossible to make EVERYONE the great hero out to save the world/galaxy/etc in an MMO. Your analogy to magazines is horrible. It's more like buying a novel that has a mediocre plot and that you have to pay for monthly.
My really important data goes onto a disk monthly and is stored in my safe deposit box at the bank, along with other important items (orignal will, a few heirlooms, stock option paperwork [toilet paper these days], etc.)
Yes, yes. It wasn't realistic that we'd fly in airplanes either. It wasn't realistic that we'd be able to transplant organs. It wasn't realistic that we'd put men on the Moon.
Not one of the issues you list is insurmountable. You could say 'not ready' but 'not realistic' is just plain inaccurate.
Give me a break. The reason is to get recurring revenue (monthly fees) for the game rather than a one shot deal. If you buy their 'reasoning' then you're very gullible.
Especially when their President (I know, I know, he's largely a figurehead) thinks he is going to help usher in the 12th Imam by bringing about the end times.
I've recovered from drenched electronics simply by dissassembling as far as the unit allows and letting the pieces dry in a warm, dry area. A week or two is usually enough. If you have the luxury of having an oven that goes to very low 'warming' temps you can put them in a 120-140 over for a few hours after you think they are dry for the final drying phase.
If they were not plugged in they can be dried out and probably used again. I've never seen mold growing on electronics, but if you have mold/mildew you can wash them with a mild bleach/water solution. After they are clean flush them with distilled water and let them dry completely.
The point you missed is that people shouldn't HAVE to google for methods to unlock their phones, but as long as people keep buying locked phones (like the iPhone and others) there is no pressure to stop the telcos from such practices.

It's a shame we can't get a class action suit together to address the aggregious trampling of the 10th Amendment especially.

"Costco sells offices now?"
Only in bulk.

That was humor, btw. I don't really grow indoor tomatoes, or anything for that matter. That's what cornfields are for.

That arrangement already exists. They are called trailer parks.

Fair enough, good points.

Unless the leadership of said country actively funds suicide bombers and has expressly declared 'Death to Israel'.
Anyone who thinks Iran WON'T use a nuke when it gets one has their head in the sand.
Meh. Talk about safety blankets. Real programmers use magnets to set the bits of the executable on the disk manually.
Why would you want to run Android on a netbook when there are already perfectly good Linux distros that are more well suited to a non-phone appliance?
It is Open Source, you Insensitive Clod of an AC. Arrrg.

It's fucking software, not life. It's not an ecosystem. Stop reassigning the definitions of words.
