Unless the "security through obscurity" is to make the OS more widespread, and so make actual NSA phones less obvious targets. One thousand "sensitive" phones amongst an install base numbering one hundred thousand slashdotters and tinfoil hatters is a good starting point.
We still use dice, but only because WotC still hasn't delivered us the electronic table for internet-based games they promised us back in 2008. Which really pisses me off, since that's the whole reason I bought into 4th, so I'd be able to play with my friends who had moved away after college. Now they've announced 5th, and the electronic table is still "under development" according to that article, even though all reference to it had been removed from the WotC site, at least as of a few months ago.
Second run theaters have largely died out due to the advent of home cinema and the film studios pushing up DVD releases. Fifteen years ago, a movie wouldn't be released to the home audience until ten or twelve months after theatrical release. Now, you have things like Deathly Hallows Part 2, the highest-grossing film of the year, being released on DVD four months after it opened nation-wide, only three weeks after it went second-run. And unlike first-run theaters, second-runs will keep kids' films and blockbusters around for months - the theater I used to work at had "Toy Story 2" for ELEVEN months, and it was our best grosser for eight of those months. If the DVD had been released a month into that run, we would have lost a LOT of revenue.
That said, we still have second-run theaters in Cincinnati, though only about half as many as we did fifteen years ago.
You need a height to weight ratio to make this a better idea. A four-foot-ten woman (1.4 meters) at 180 pounds (80 kilos) definitely needs to be cut off, too.
It takes less energy to get moly out of ferrous ore than it does to reduce silicon oxide to silicon. It's also a matter of availability - even though there's more silicon than molybdenum, molybdenum is often much more pure, and found in distinct deposits, and easy to mine, versus silicon being mixed in with all kinds of other crap and distributed wildly all throughout the crust. It's the same thing with rare earths - for example, indium isn't actually rare, it's just that it's EVERYWHERE in very small amounts, instead of convenient little deposits like gold, which is in the crust at about 1/500th the amount.
As far as raw material goes, yes. And the purification methods are vastly different, but it seems likely that when scaled up they will be priced similarly to those of silicon. They're certainly less complicated.
Also, this is the same stuff that lubricant companies like Valvoline put in high-mileage oil to provide friction protection when all your oil leaks out of your crumbly, busted-ass gaskets, as well as a billion other uses. It's really cool stuff.
That's for the update service. To just select software packages and install them is free (unless you are a business). Since most of those packages autoupdate anyway, getting a separate update app is a waste of system resources.

I doubt the friction from the sawzall would be enough to ignite it. Interesting idea, though!

At least the screen is warm!
Looks pretty interesting. Thanks!

You only get thrown into federal prison for doing illegal things.
Yeah, you go to a military prison when you do anything else.
-1 for depressing!
Go nowhere? You can always get too excited and knock the stool over!
Or paying Google for anything.
Saying that your PC still goes as fast and without problems after a few years is saying that you do not use your pc for much.
Exactly. Windows can't corrupt DLLs and other files if it's not running.

It doesn't take many sales of a $3000 RCA plug to justify a $5000 ad.

Seriously. I've been squatting on NewtGingrichIsYourGodNow.com for half a year, and no one has even approached me about purchasing it.
*Not really. Feel free to register it yourself.
I hear Apple has a patent on the shoe phone.
If not, they will after reading your post.
Where's my "-1, Depressing" mod option at?
For me, it's more that I'm not interested in the kind of girl that likes to go clubbing.
You know, it is possible to date a girl without having sex with her. Trust me, I do it all the time.

I'm not going to any school run by some megalomaniac who thinks quoting Melville as he dies is a good idea.
Ps3 has a free online service, xbox, you can't even play most games on a local network without XBL
With the XBox you could play games online this year during April and May.

So what you're saying is we can blame the French for the existence of lawyers?
I'm pretty sure Ninite is free for individual use, and paid for business users.
