Unless you have catastrophic damage where you drop your phone into a running industrial shredder, repair it yourself. My phone recently had a shattered digitizer. Repair estimate was $150, similar to what your first claim essentially would cost. An OE digitizer was $12 on Amazon.
The distribution channel is the one that leaks it. Believe it or not, the DVDs and BluRays aren't pressed the night before they are launched. In a past life I worked at Blockbuster. At the time we were still entirely VHS tapes. We would receive a shipment of movies either for rental or for purchase in some cases a month or two before they were to be released. Often it was 1-2 weeks prior.
All those movies that we received came from some distribution center. And those came from a distributor. And those from whoever did the actual transfer to tape from some source material the studio gave them. Tapes have been essentially dead a long time but it's even easier for a extra copy to slip out the door at any step of the process.
The Big 3 have the same problems. I've seen lots of IBM servers have failed RAID controller batteries, which IBM won't replace under warranty because they're "consumable", and won't replace for a fee because they aren't available anymore. On the other hand, installing a third-party part voids the warranty anyway.
Under 15 USC 2302(c), they can not require original equipment be used. If the 3rd party component (in this example a battery) can be shown caused damage, then they may have grounds to deny a warranty claim. But if you install a battery and a drive or stick of memory goes south, then they don't have much ground to stand on in denying the claim.
I can't tell on the map, are longitude lines renumbered? Or did they just stay with the international standard and rotate it around?
If you turn a map upside down, that doesn't magically make the north south, and vice versa. It just means north is in a different direction then normally expected. Likewise, re-centering the map doesn't make the far east not in the east. It's just not in the east on that map.
While I agree, I'm happy to let Apple have all the patents it wants regarding locking down devices. It provides all the more motivation for Android to be open and free.
And by more open and free, you mean more restricted. What if I WANTED some type of a "lock down" feature on my Android Phone?
Under Rule 606(b), there are only two situations where jurors may testify to invalidate a verdict. âoeA juror may testify regarding (1) any extraneous, prejudicial information that was brought improperly to the attention of the jury or (2) any outside influence brought to bear upon any juror."
I'd say the foreman telling the jury improperly why prior art should be dismissed would count as #1.
How is it good for consumers? Who do you think pays for the innovation? Who do you think pays for expensive legal wrangling that takes years to resolve? Who do you think pays for corporations to cover their losses? Who do you think pays for corporations to lobby governments for laws that protect and/or favor them? Ultimately, no matter what happens in cases like this it's the consumer that gets screwed the most.
Please. ANYONE can come up with wireless technology. It's easy and simple. But NO ONE would ever dream of rubber band bouncing a list if you scroll too far!
On a serious note, if all it too to be in compliance was to just stop a list when it gets to the end, I don't think my smart phone experience would be all that different. Now if someone came up with a carbon nanotube scrolling that doesn't bounce and is rigid, I think we all are screwed.
If it was you or I, then generally I would agree with you. However when you're considered the enemy he is by the US, Sweden, et al, you need to not only think of your next step but your next several as well as your exits. Regardless of if he might be exonerated in Sweden, I don't think the likelihood of him continuing to live a life of freedom would exist as he'd promptly be handed over to US authorities.
It's also worth noting that he hasn't even been charged with a crime in Sweden. He's only wanted for questioning. If anyone else raped/molested/sexually assaulted multiple people, I'm sure the police would like to question the accuse but I don't think it's going to hold up their case if the accused doesn't say anything or refuses to come in. They are either going to charge em, or not.
What also is not addressed in the article is the reliability of the SSDs. Flash ram is not a permanent solution and will die due to the limited number of writes. If you use mysql or MS access or run low on space and use XP that thing will be dead in a matter of months. It can only handle so much paging and writes before it dies. Tricks in the firmware move the write bits to random places in memory to prevent this but as it fills up the paging needs to keep to keep hiting the same memory addresses.
There are a variety of different ongoing tests to look at how long drives actually last. Looking at a fairly standard older Intel 320 40GB drive, it went 190TB written before the MWI threshold was reached, and continued on until 685TB. That means it completely rewrote the drive 17500+ times.
No, it won't last forever. And it's not ideally suited for every single industry and use. But for the typical user, they are more likely to need a larger drive or otherwise upgrade then wear out the drive.
Wait, you returned a just-released game to Gamestop and got your money back minus $10? I thought that was unheard of. I thought it was spend $60 on a new game, get $10 back (if that) if/when you traded it in.
Profiles and user directories can get migrated from old machine to new. User directories may not even be stored on the machine but a network share. He never said that he had a 10 year old Windows 7 system, only that he had been there 10 years and that he currently has a Windows 7 system.
I thought the same way until a previous Slashdot comment explained how this works in detail. While the text messages use the same packet format as the phone's sync to the tower, it still causes additional packets, and bigger packets. So the bandwidth is not free. It would be like sending an email by embedding it inside DNS requests. Yes, you need to make DNS requests anyway, but sending an email through them would not make the bandwidth free.
In your example though, the DNS request is sent along with all other network traffic. The cellular control channel is always there IIRC, and that is what the SMS is transmitted over. So while yes it does take up bandwidth and therefor doesn't have a completely zero cost, the bandwidth it does take up would have just gone unused anyways.
I think a better example would be a congested highway that has a HOV lane with only a few vehicles. The HOV lane is the control channel. You can slip many additional SMS vehicles into the HOV lane without any impact for the rest of the highway traffic, or other traffic already traveling on the SMS lane.
It's no that they can't afford their cars. Monthly parking can easily run more then a monthly car payment for a luxury vehicle. Even if you got a $500 beater, you'd still be paying $400-800 a month to park it.
Has anybody any idea about how easy or difficult it is to read books on such a screen?
Nook Simple Touch and Kindle lines are 6". Nook Color and Tablet, along with the Kindle Fire are 7". I don't think screen size will be an issue at all.
Screen type however is a personal preference. I don't have too much problem reading for some time with the LCD display on our Transformer, even in the dark. My wife prefers her Simple Touch with GlowLight over the Transformer.
Building a "standard" building (1000 sq ft home) in the US costs about $250,000-350,000 without the lot (just building costs).
$250k? For 1000 sq ft? Where the hell are you building at? You can get far more than 1000 sq ft for $250k, or 1000 sq ft for far less then $250k within about 30 minutes of just about anywhere.

If it can't be repaired, how do the repair shops repair them for the price of the plan and deductible?

Close, but not quite.
Not to mention that Sarbanes-Oxley requires I believe all emails to be retained for 7 years.

That could explain his curious increase in strength...

During disasters in Haiti and Chile voice and data cellular communications collapsed due to overload, however SMS usage increased an order of magnitude.

Don't blame the manufacturer for a product that was your choice to buy. It's not like the fact was hidden or not disclosed.
