Not true. In my city in the US, theaters have introduced at-seat table service and reserved seating. The former is nice to have but the latter is transformative. No queues, no racing for seats, no getting stuck in lousy seats or separated from your friends. Contrary to Netflix's self-interest, there are still films that benefit from being viewed in a movie theater, and reserved seating completely removes any tension or unknowns from the experience.
In this case, this regulation is in response to previous misbehavior. NYC cabs used to accept so-called 'radio calls', where one could call a cab's central office to schedule a pickup. Cabbies would flip the 'radio call' flag on when they didn't want to pick up a minority, go to a distant destination, or charge more during rush hour. Cab companies are jumping at this app, since it gives them the ability to again discriminate against undesirable customers and inconvenient destinations.
The free market provides plenty of opportunities for cabbies to choose their customers. There are private car services and 'gypsy cabs' that customers can call or, presumably, 'hail' via an app. These companies can charge what they want and in many cases the cost is comparable to a yellow cab; in fact, private car services typically charge a fixed price that sometimes works out to be cheaper than a similar trip in a yellow cab.
Other than "it shouldn't get hot", your criteria doesn't make any sense. What do you want to do? Play certain games, word process, read e-mail? The model we recommend depends on what you want to do with it. Specifying the CPU doesn't make any sense without knowing what you want to do with it. Who decides what computer to buy based on hardware specifications these days??
It's not completely unavailable - the game just won't be sold on-base. It can be purchased off-base or mail order. Although there are most likely no off-base Game Stop outlets in near bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, mail orders are shipped to military personnel at domestic rates.
My iPhone loses it's charge in less than one day of moderate use, which I define as checking, reading and replying to e-mail several times a day, 10 minutes of phone calls, and a 45 minute commute watching podcasts. If that's it's power usage for so called 2.5G, they've got a way to go wrt power management before 3G will work.
I reckon that a lot of it though is unoptimized power management on a 1.0 product.

You are accountable because someone is always going to be using the car after you. If I find that the car is filthy or been puked in or whatever, I call the vendor and they pinch the guy who rented the car before me.
Zipcar members are typically renting the car for short 2 hour errands. The pricing discourages long trips, and so discourages candy wrappers, puking, etc. that long trips entail.
Zipcar (which I was a member of until I bought my own car) had someone who maintained the car. Zipcar worked pretty well for me, although the cars were difficult to reserve on the weekend. The car was always in pretty good shape and fairly clean.
The biggest problem for me was that the guy in front of me would invariably be late in returning the car. I had to wait 45 minutes one time.

This can be done now of course. Assuming that the caliber is the same, you can drop the casing of your mark at the scene of the crime. Better than ballistic fingerprinting, it'll likely have your target's actual fingerprints on it.

Sure they do. One get paid for pasting an ad after the.sig of the outgoing message and the other for displaying an ad when viewing the message on the receiving end.

It's easy to see where they'll improve their offering, since demand is strongest wherever there's competition, full stop.
