I'm sick of getting facebook invites because some fool with my address in his address book decided to upload the entire list to facebook, without so much as a "by your leave".
My address(s) live quietly in lots of people's google contacts and I get no spam at all from that. Yet ONE person uploads that to facebook and facebook themselves start spamming me, followed in rapid succession by pill pushers and foreign diplomats, dethroned princes, and ousted former heads of state, all with lots of money they want to share with me.
Continue to pay for something you can never really own?
Demonstrating that any lock down can be broken does exert pressure for the companies to stop wasting their resources.
Bringing a phone to market has real costs associated with it.
If they know it will be hacked (often before its official release date) why bother trying? Why spend all that money and time dicking around with some cat and mouse game where you are always the mouse, when your competition can get there quicker by avoiding the effort.
All they really need is an indicator that it WAS hacked so they can choose to honor the warranty or not, (Like the Nexus One, which gives you root at the press of a button, but makes it obvious you chose to take it).
Sooner or later we should start pushing for lock downs to be made illegal, and demonstrating that they are ineffective is as good a first step as any.
In an odd turnabout, the summary is better written than the linked article, which reads like someone writing in English as a second language.
This set up may not be reliable enough for guarding, let's say, a bank, but for the home is well enough. And Oschler is no the only one who experimented with this type of home security.
Administration officials said late Tuesday the president's already-quick visit will be shortened by two hours, forcing cancellation of a wreath-laying ceremony on Wednesday and causing other tweaks to the schedule.
Two hours due to volcanic ash is not a mad dash in panic mode.
You are correct about the value to an adversary about a demonstration launch from US waters.
But its a risky move to engage in this kind of stunt because the Russians might think it was a surprise attack of some kind.
Especially if they pick up the red phone (do they still have that?) and ask what the hell is going on and receive only unbelievable denials.
Russia and the US announce to each other ALL launches well in advance.
Countries having the capability of underwater launch include China, Russia, Britain, US, and maybe Iran and India using ex soviet era subs. Maybe a couple others.
The only one of these that could launch without fear of triggering a reprisal by Russia: Russia.
But given the apparent lack of any mad scramble by the Military, you can be fairly sure they knew in advance about this. If the US military was caught flat footed, Obama would already be on his way back, and heads would already be rolling.
There is also the distinct possibility its just more Security Theater to justify what ever is next.
And yet, Yahoo has more subscribers than Gmail. Or at least they were in 2009, the latest figures I can find.
Microsoft webmail properties: 256.2 million users Yahoo: 254.6 million users Google: 91.6 million users AOL webmail properties: 48.9 million users
Adding Aol to Yahoo would put them in the top spot.
That being said, I agree with your basic premise that these two companies have nothing to offer, and merging won't help them unless they can monetize the combination, something neither has been able to accomplish. I've never heard of entire companies or universities switching to Yahoo.
Lending or gifting something that is yours is not undefined. It's your book. You can do anything you want with it except reproduce it for sale. Yes, you can even tear out pages and give them away.
There is a reason the word "copyright" is used to describe the author's residual rights.

Really? It does me good.

I fail to see the greed tie in here.
The interesting thing about that list is I would enlist on Google's side in every single one of them.
Google vs. Net neutrality, not so much.
FAIL!
Quoting Wiki on anything even remotely political earns you 30 days in the corner wearing your Dunce hat.
Wrong place and wrong time.
Read the thread before posting.
So what then is your suggestion?

If they survive.
Breaching another country's borders???
Did you not read a single word of the linked story?
In an odd turnabout, the summary is better written than the linked article, which reads like someone writing in English as a second language.
This set up may not be reliable enough for guarding, let's say, a bank, but for the home is well enough. And Oschler is no the only one who experimented with this type of home security.
Why not just mount the whole dam shark on it?
Much scarier chasing burglers around the house with sharks than lasers.
Dude: I did not cite any NOTAM.
If you can't follow a thread stop posting.
India would not demo off our coasts.
The advocating inclusion of India in the security council was strictly for in-country (india) consumption. Don't expect any follow thru.
But Trident is what the US uses. Brits too. The Royal navy footage is really old.
Quote Story you linked to:

Defense contractors do not test missiles without the knowledge and approval of the US Government and none of those defense contractors have subs.
Think McFly, Think!
You didn't do your homework.
The time is wrong, and the location is wrong.
The FAA has already denied publishing any notifications about this launch.

PLEASE STOP POSTING THAT NOTAM. WRONG TIME. WRONG PLACE.
Not different at all:

Why would you have a problem with that explanation?
ALL NOTAMS are in GMT time. You expect them to change this world wide rule just for you?
NOTAMs are not necessary when you know exactly where every plane in the sky is, and can time your launch to avoid them.
They are only necessary for launches that are time window critical, and aircraft must be warned out of the area.
And of course the US military is not required to issue any of these for secret operations over international waters.

Little out of touch (see what I did there?) are you?
Maybe you should visit their website some day?
They are still the 800 pound gorilla in the cell industry. Just because you don't see them much in the USA, don't make the mistake of dismissing them.
