I am confused as to who you are referring to. There are cell phone makers and there are cellular sevice providers. The service providers lose money whenever anyone signs up because they pay the phone maker far more than they charge the consumer (who usually has to pay nothing at all). As far as the cell phone maker is concerned, it doesn't matter how much what they're selling costs as long as they make money.
So, if a very cheap phone is released, the cell phone maker could charge 150% of the price, which would be less than the cellular service providers are paying now. It's an improvement for both because the cell phone makers are making more money, and the service providers are losing less money.
Now in theory, 0% of your monthly cost is directly tied to the amount your phone is actually worth. However if people buy the cheaper phones which costs the provider less for the cell phones, their profitability increases and the monthly fees can go down, still increasing their profit.
Basically this is a good guy vs bad guy situation, and we're in the bad guy neighborhood.

So you want every aspect of a flying car, across several disciplines to be completed in conjunction with each other so the flying car application is ready, all within the arbitrary 12 month period which makes up a year.
Good luck.
I think it's more likely to see little bits of things with no specific application happen over the course of several years, then for someone to do nothing other than combine it to make the particular flying car you want.
I know I shouldn't respond to trolls but I haven't anything better to do.
I in no way referred to anything Japanese as perfect, nor did I in any way say that it was the "western influence's" fault. I pointed to the series of events of prominence in their own culture. You drew your own conclusions, then disagreed with them. Good job.
If you'd like to talk about racism, why not look towards your own backyard where people are actually killed over it? I'd rather have them giggling at me, personally. Oh, and you'll still find plenty of places that won't serve blacks.
After being self-isolated for over a thousand years, then before forced to trade at gun point of the US navy, humiliated into signing the unequal trade treaties, internally usurped by the youth who felt humiliated, forced into WW2 by this youth, declared the bad guys, nuked, occupied, and run by a puppet government, one wonders why.
I would agree under the terms that LokiTorrent be refunded their legal fees by the MPAA. However universally this is a sticky subject. Should a bankrupt person charging a company have to pay their legal fees of the company if s/he loses? What about company to company?
Right now the legal system largely works with monetary muscle, which is something the average corporation has and the average person does not. Sure we're donating money, but what happens when the bill comes to a few thousand more than is donated? It comes out of the guy's pocket, win or lose.

I pointed out I've never been forced to install a deb, unlike all the other methods, so I had no idea how to do it. I did not ask how to do it, nor did I say that it was difficult. You'll notice someone else responded with the same thing about Debian, only with a much nicer tone. It is nice of you to point those two programs out, "dpkg" and "aptitude". Too bad they aren't on every linux distro default install, so it's not exactgly a linux solution now is it? aptitude is of course a front end for a program which isn't a cross-distro standard either:P
Once again, do not reply to this with answers. I am not asking with answers. Answering anything here is a troll, as is your entire second paragraph.
Right, because everything's available in a single repo.
or...
On my Fedora box I have rpms made for Red Hat, rpms made not for Red Hat (go figure), source installs with configuration scripts, source installs with instructions, source installs with nothing whatsoever, programs with install scripts that install to the directory tree how they see fit, programs with install scripts that install nowhere (./), and python sources that just sit there coming straight out of a tar. Meanwhile I have nethack sitting around in/usr/game/nethack and has "libraries" in/usr/games/lib (note that nethack is the only game to use these folders). I guess I'm just lucky I haven't had to figure out how to use a Debian (.deb) install file yet.
I get wanded and they look in my wallet, which bugs the heck out of me.
I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about. At least in the US airports I've been to, they've never, ever looked inside my wallet except for the x-ray, which pretty much reveals a chunk of metal. That is, I don't hold on to my wallet when I go throug the detectors beause I'm not supposed to. Also I figured out that if I don't set off any alarms the first time (take off those shoes) they won't bother me at all on the other side of security. If I do set off the alarm, go back and take of the random metal thing they are much more likely to search me.
You're given a key for your computer. This key is entered into a list of keys on the server. The server decrypts each incoming transmission with all valid keys to determine the source, and encrypts all outputted signals with their own keys for each client, and the encrypting and decrypting keys are different.
So, for each client there are four keys. One to encrypt information sent from client to server (residing only on client), one to decrypt this information (residing only on server), one to encrypt information sent from server to client (only on server), one to decrypt information sent from client to server (only on client). Plus the server has its own internal key so that even if the encryption for two clients between two computers is identical, the decryption is different. Same for the client. Ok ok- 6 keys.;)
Ignoring the complication, overhead, and excess noise produced by this, wouldn't it be better than say... WEP?:P This would be something such as an office setting where the area is not very open. Your competitor has the office across the street and you're not allowed to throw rocks at them when they sniff the wireless anymore.

"Xenophobic" is the right word.

You are aware that the Japanese language has over 2000 kanji which you are expected to read if you are a japanese citizen?
Psh, what FUD. You only need to know 1900 to get a jist of the newspaper.
