    As someone who's done some R&D work on alternate items and composites, having one not be metal at all is a very real possibility.

    just to reply to the rant no one will read in its entirety, you can disable any and all of those whitelisted you don't want to see. ad-blocking shouldn't be an automatic blacklisting thing anyways. Pay a-fucking-ttention and participate in what you block or allow.

    static advertisements like a black and white newspaper. nothing flashing. nothing moving. nothing making a sound of any kind. it requires you to click on the advertisement and a pop-up that says "did you mean to click on this advertisement? yes. no"

    Oh that classic misapplication of Psychology 101 students.

    Actually they don't. Otherwise the 3G enabler from the Cydia app store wouldn't work as advertised.

    It's called an iPad data plan. Pick up a sim card for an iPad at an AT&T store, plug it into your phone and visit https://dcp2.att.com/OEPNDClient/ to sign up for one using your iPhone's information. Next go to unlockit.co.nz on your phone (using wifi, of course) and change your APN using their "Create APN" link on the bottom and pick the option "Broadband". Install the new APN profile and presto, your iPhone (or other device if you know how to change your APN) is now usable on an iPad data plan.

    I've been using this since the iPad first came out a couple years ago and doing so on my iPhone 3GS and now 4/4S. You can use Skype/Facetime/Mumble or whatever you want all over the cell connection.

    But yes, you do pay for an 'open internet access plan'. They don't block any sites or services - but they're trying to do just that with FaceTime and should (probably will) be smacked back by the FCC.

  8. Re:Better for printing weapons? on Ancient Egyptian Tech May Be Key To Printing 3D Ceramics · · Score: 4, Informative

    You guys have no idea what you're talking about. There has never been or ever will be a Glock made out of ceramic materials. Ceramics don't have the necessary strength to maintain integrity for even a single shot of a round. They have a polymer frame and a steel slide and barrel. Stop getting your information from Die Hard 2. It makes you look pathetic to regurgitate the same ignorant shit people have spouted for the last two decades.

    The XPLuna theme for Gnome works pretty well in this regards. Check this variant out: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=119403

    There's a version out for the linux distro called Tails (found on the torproject.org page) and it's a VERY nicely done clone of the UI.

    In fact, make the entire UI modular.

    That's quite a leap of logic. Legitimate rape means the person being raped was forced to do it and under duress.

    It's not a leap of logic to say that someone feeling guilty AFTER the fact that they did something willingly and calling that rape is illegitimate rape.
