EMP. Lightning struck a few houses down from me. Instantly I lost WiFi connectivity when the bolt stuck while everything else was fully functional except for the router which still had power. Both my computer and router are connected to a SmartUPS with a valid grounded connection. Basically, the WiFi antennas picked up the EMP and passed it down to the chipset; effectively "fried".
Scary stuff. You said he was holding an umbrella at the time. What is in use at made of metal? FYI, lightning starts from the ground and forms filaments reaching out, at which point the bolt comes down from the sky and meets up with it. The connection is made and the discharge is completed to it's final destination. You're father (like many others) was in its path along the way. I suspect that umbrella made for a nice pathway for the filament to form.
Blue LEDs are vile! Can't stand them on electronics or anywhere in fact. The brightness is way up, and is a major distraction from even a far distance. Hopefully the fad of using them will pass.
So far, I've read all the previous rants about Australia from other posters. For a moment, I could be convinced they were talking about either the US or UK. Is the entire "West" just fucked? The running theme out of all this, is nations that are falling on the sword for immigrants whom are ungrateful at that. It's a mindset that's not sustainable for any prosperous nation state!
If privacy is a voter's primary concern in the US, it's probably best to vote based on the individual candidate's position than on the candidate's party.
Correct! However, the Democrat is a united front, and subsequently vote in lock-step. The Republican party as a political organization has its head up its ass. They're done! We now have a one-party-rule with the Hispanic now keeping them in power in perpetuity giving them "free shit". So yes, don't vote for either party. The backs of the establishment must be broken!
Not going to happen. People are too fucking stupid.
Logically, that comment makes sense. But when dealing with product design, it's often an appeal to emotions. It's a (one of many) primary aspect of sales.
That all said however, the weakness in the case design looks to be near or at the side volume buttons. There's just too much material removed to ensure structural integrity at load; or so it looks as much from the examples I've seen so far. Though, I don't think the protruding camera is a problem given most people will have a case over the phone; thus making the back completely flush.
Actually, it could be the pants (and poor judgement of storing the phone). Many designer jeans are already tight round the thigh and buttocks. Typically these jeans have shallow front pockets; thus the phone the phone doesn't travel deep enough to run parallel with the leg. In that situation, the end of the phone would be pressing against your hip when sitting down. It would be uncomfortable. Sitting on the phone in the back pocket will surely bend it regardless of what pants you're wearing however.
The world could be on fire, and I wouldn't care. The big problem I have with AGW isn't the pursuit of science and research of the topic, but how everyone else including the politicians feel that everyone but themselves are the problem and must make due with less. Yeah, fuck that; belch the CO2 baby! I have zero tolerance for hypocrites!
You know, I often wondered if cultural norms such as bowing (not shaking hands) and ritual burning of the dead are in part due to some nasty contagion that wiped out previous civilization.
No, I haven't redefined anything. You just fail at reading comprehension! The universe IS time and space. It's one in the same. Outside the known inflationary universe, is absolute nothing. The only question is weather or not this universe is but a single shard of the multi-verse, or the one and the only. This, followed up by if time/space has a genesis, or is infinite?
Time and space, however empty it can be, is still "something". Thus, quantum events from minute perturbations is still "something".
Like I said, either the the universe/multiverse is infinite, or there was a genesis to it all. How, and why did this genesis event occur? THAT QUESTION in-of-itself is mind blowing.
Deeper. Where did that quantum event come from? At some point, everything came from zero (nothing). Unless however, the universe or multiverse is truly infinite.
I'm not saying you're wrong about there being a quantum event that started the Big Bang. However, it too has a point of origin of creation from nothing; does it not?
Not even. Just use a deadman switch. You just have a website that you log into once a day/week/month what-have you. I for any reason you fail to do so, the information is released publicly on the front page. If it's of any interest, the community will spread it via P2P and other methods; like wild fire.
How can a "zero" turn into a "one"? That's something from nothing. I contend that this notion can't be scientifically answered as it is inherently a philosophical question.
You trust science. It's the observable truth. Faith, belongs to the realm of religion.
For example, I have blind faith that God exists, and the mere existence of *something* spawning from absolutely nothing (however many layers deep in a multi-dimentional abstract) came into being. Why did it happen? It's a philosophical question that science can't touch.
Science is the understanding of how the universe works. Faith, holds the supposition of why the universe exists both in its genesis and current state. The two don't overlap, and I personally find it rather funny when people try and debate a comparison to the two. To do so is like arguing about the hardness of fire. It makes no sense.
Who gives a flying fuck?! First time or not, the private sector has and does complicated software for a living. It in fact defines the industry. But somehow because the Federal Government is a clusterfuck, they deserve a pass with some grand prestigious comparison to Apollo 11 or 13? If that's the case, Google and the rest have already invented Warpdrive that can go to 8!

Or Elon Musk can give all nations the finger by going to Mars in person and plant the corporate flag!

That's low. But, not any lower than the asshole that wishes to do you harm. So yeah, it's a forgivable tactic.

Instead of titanium, I wonder if carbon fiber would be a better alternative.
IANAMS (I'm not a material scientist)
You're storing it wrong!

Noticed how I got modded "flamebait" and the parent "troll". Yeah, we've been vindicated! I rest my case.

Getting this out of the way.
Science is the understanding of how the universe works. Faith, holds the supposition of why the universe exists both in its genesis and current state. The two don't overlap, and I personally find it rather funny when people try and debate a comparison to the two. To do so is like arguing about the hardness of fire. It makes no sense.
You mean, like AGW? Yeah, don't fucking question it (they say).
