People, me included, spend hundreds of pounds on a phone and then worry about it getting damaged, forgetting the fact that it'll be replaced for free when they renew their contract two years down the line. People, not me, spend money on ugly cases that turn their phone into something that no longer looks like an expensive phone. Hundreds of pounds for engineered hard plastic, metal and gorilla glass, for what?
Me? I keep my S2 in my jeans pocket, without coins and keys. I have no case for it and yet it looks as good as the day I bought it, four months ago.
Fingerprints are wiped off over the course of the day through jiggling in my pocket and my phone still looks classy and thin with no case.
Some of these crops, such as the parsnip, only require a decade of selective breeding from the wild variety. If you left them alone, they would return to their wild state in a similar timeframe.
I tend to favour growing "unnatural" hybrids. The extra costs is worth it in taste, disease resistant properties and yields.
So I Googled and it tells me that "Hutchison 3G" are in fact Three. Three, in the UK, runs on the Orange network which people in my neck of the woods wouldn't touch with a barge pole because of poor service.
And people read this shit? I can't get my head around it. What possible reason could there be for this sort of sickness? Even 2,000 years ago this must have been wrong. Wrong. Wrong, Wrong.
A few Fluoxetines on top and you no longer care about diminished sorts of pleasure.
Smack, as it's called here, is a nasty drug. Everyone I've known to take it has had big fall. Luckily no one has fucked themselves up perminately. Most started taking it after smoking rocks. Neither have had any appeal to me, and I've never bothered with them.
Theiving fuckers, the lot of them. Once you know someone taking the brown, never let them in your house. They'll eye up everything. They hardly care when you beat them for thieving.
Tell us why the man is an idiot for using a 30m cable.
It's the same cable that my house is wired up with and I have certificates showing its safety (needed some re-wiring in my kitchen, UK law states whole house needs checking).
So many of us reported this problem. The local newspaper helped to raise the issue.
Google replied to me after reporting it a month back.
"Thank you for reporting this problem. Unfortunately, for various reasons, the problem you reported isn't easy for us to fix at this time:
[my report about the 81st largest town in England being missing]
We did want to let you know blah, blah, blah, blah.
Thanks for helping us to improve Google Maps!"
OK, it's a hard problem. A hard problem of increasing the font size? A hard problem of rolling back to a time when it was on the map? A hard problem because fixes like this are done once a year?
When I reported a car number plate on street view, they removed it within a week.
Um, I've only been in the Android market for a few months, but sending anything to anything was already there when I opened the box on my S2.
Streaming video over WiFi was a breeze. Sure, my shite TV hasn't got WiFi but plenty of others do. Streaming video to my laptop with HDMI output is too easy.

This is something I can't get my head around.

I ponder.
Didn't I read this exact comment last week?
Didn't it get a +5 Funny?
I love Slashdot.
When I left the industry in 2000, lead time time for a new car model was 18 months, down from 36 months when I joined in 1991.
You can't write a piece of entertainment software in 18 months? Surely not.
Wasn't me. I didn't do it. Try Anonymous.
Hammers for putting screws in.
Screwdrivers for removing them.
It's the law.
Don't forget tourists.
My wife and daughter would love to visit the USA, but I read too much internet and there's more chance of me visiting China than there.
Whoa! I was thinking the exact opposite!

I used to moderate on Direct Connect and various forums for free. Where's the issue?
The ban-hammer was my tool. Filenames were my metadata. Nasty comments were just that, nasty.
It didn't change me.
Are those really worth a mention?

A billion Chinese can't be Wong.
They're also Chin, Chang, Lui, Tang...
And before you all climb on your high horses, I have a Chinese name.
It's in Branson's autobiography, if I remember correctly. It's been a long time since I read it (15 years plus, probably).
Blond with big tits is the definition of sexy.
That's sick. Sick in a puking way.
And people read this shit? I can't get my head around it. What possible reason could there be for this sort of sickness? Even 2,000 years ago this must have been wrong. Wrong. Wrong, Wrong.
It's the day of your driving test. The examiner starts with a question:
Name three road users
1) Cars
2) Um...
Well done. You've failed your driving test.
If you'd have said cyclists and pedestrians, you would have passed.
Don't forget about other road users. They often make the most mess.

It duel-boots on my wife's netbook. Aspire One, I think it is.
Works like a dream. She's gone off it though and has moved back to W7. For fickle reasons, I would guess.
Oh yes.

Two ships would face each other, head to head.
The first ship would power the weapons.
The second ship would not, so as not to seem hostile. There's a sense of bravado; manly posturing, but dialogue is the weapon of choice.
The first ship fires a single anti-graviton phase beam.
The second ship explodes because Picard is a pussy.
That's how future space battles are fought.
If it's anything like the UK, probably not.
Over the last 12 months I've recieved increasing annoying calls from India. They don't have to obey the DNC list and they don't.

Create your own filter and stop moaning.
See above too.
Slashdot is not scaped for email addresses like it used to be. I get less than one email a month to the above address.
Here's what annoys me about Hotmail and the people that still use it:
Send an email from my Gmail to my wife's gmail: 5 seconds maximum, as you'd expect.
Send an email from work to my Gmail: 10 seconds maximum.
Send an email to my mate's Hotmail from my Gmail: sometimes hours to arrive. Hours? In 2012? C'mon!
