    Exactly! Lets think it in seconds: 1 million seconds was 12 days ago. 1 billion seconds ago it was the 1980's. 1 trillion seconds ago neanderthal's walked on earth.

  4. Re:That's the police for you on Ten Cops Can't Recover Police Chief's Son's iPhone · · Score: 1

    I don't think you can silence "Find my iPhone" app, unless you remove the battery.. which you can't do without tools and knowledge.

    I don't usually share, except on Private trackers having restrictions that block you if you do not upload ABOVE 1:1.

    Everyone can't have ratio over 1.0, it's not possible.

  11. Re:Of course. Open source rarely gets the GUI righ on Chinese Pirates Launch Ubuntu That Looks Like XP · · Score: 1

    Actually MS is also moving to this direction. With Server 2008 R2 when you do some things with a GUI, it runs a PowerShell script to make the changes.

    I waited in total silence for about 10 minutes as he kept searching and searching, until I finally asked him, "What are you looking for?" "Contraband," he said without looking up at me. "Such as?" "Child pornography, hate propaganda."
    What he should have replied next is "Why, are you somekind of pervert?"
  19. Re:switching the number won't work on Has My Cell Number Been Cloned? · · Score: 1
    When i tried getting a new SIM to replace my aging SIM, the old one was disconnected before the new SIM was issued, as it is simply not possible to associate a number with two SIMs. You can associate a SIM with two or more numbers, but not the other way round.
    Probably true in America, but here in Finland we can have multiple gsm sim cards for the same phonenumber (You can have one phonenumber on two different phones, both working at the same time). So it is possible, your operators just don't support it.
