I had this problem and it was related to the thickness/material of the case. Don't know if that makes a difference in your case but the symptoms were the same - changed the case and the charger is pretty much happy with me throwing the phone on it at most angles.
I think this is the key reason, yeah, all the stuff about catering to minorities is going to affect some people, but not most. EA have been churning out the same game for years now - is their policy going to be rotating around releasing WW1, WW2, Vietnam (60s/70s era) and modern day games that are increasingly similar and have annoying in game and DLC costs? It's a stale model that I think people are tired with it. Go and find a new game genre EA then you'll get sales again, until then stop regurgitating the same old content.
The centralized, decentralized paradigm ebbs and flows like the tide. Sadly each time we change over the lessons are never learnt and we forget why we switched over that last time.. oh yeah last time it was... bandwidth costs, patching, resilience , security, maintenance, costs and on and on
fine, super, great, grand, use the new tools for that, just leave the old ones there for those of us that need backwards compatibility or have large estates to manage over a large number of years.
I suspect people have more important things to be doing than changing scripts for new utilities arriving. It wouldn't be so bad if they left the old utilities in place, but when they start removing them or not installing them in the first place it just creates more work than i suspect the new utility will ever save.
note quite the point I was making.. take Office 2017 and you can install it without 2013. Install/Run the Cataclysm expansion without the original game ? oh you can't.
Although the leveling experience has changed significantly, I challenge your "in no way resemble", there are lots of resemblances, there are still plenty of quests that were present in the original, the original zones are largely unchanged - of course other than the Cataclysm changes, Stranglethorn and Barrens splits as well. And the most important thing of course.. the backpack! Anyway, that's all largely splitting hairs. My point remains, one is an expansion to a product you need to already have, the other is a product independent of other, older versions.
I think the word "EXPANSION" (the caps really helps by the way!).. is the key to it. This isn't like Office 2013 vs 2017, try playing the latest _expansion_ without the "game". And as you well know, elements of every expansion exist in the game today, some more than others - yes elements have been changed or removed, but again, so has the original game from the "as released" version. Whether you like or not, the expansions are exactly that, they are not new versions of the "game".
All these people, here and elsewhere that are claiming they should be able to play the game as released by Blizzard. Sure, go on then ! Having played since the early Betas, i remember what the game was like when it was first released and my account history shows how much free time there was when it was _released_. Oh and of course, next you'll have people claiming "oh no, we didn't mean when it was released, we mean when it was stable", or "oh no, we didn't mean when it was released we meant at the end of the expansion". Copyright is copyright. Like it or not, dislike the period or not , get over it.
So what version are we talking about when they say its been "abandoned", as someone else pointed out that means they should be keeping servers running for every patch "I want to play the second Burning Crusade patch please - you've abandoned that Blizzard, I'm not entitling myself to create my own server and copy all your material". Reductio ad absurdum - I want to have my own server running the patch the day before yesterday, 'cause you've abandoned that version Blizzard.
accreditation of those high security systems that are left. Most of the ones i worked on relied on Intel's x86 ring mechanisms to protect trusted processes from untrusted processes at the hardware level. Of course that wasn't the only means they used to ensure process isolation, but it was always part of their repertoire.
Would you really expect a big steel and glass architectural wonder with "Google" emblazoned all over it? I would expect nothing more or less from a Google data center than a big ugly concrete box in an industrial park. They (big ugly concrete boxes) are easy to guard and air condition, and don't require a receptionist or PR staff.
Surely the sharks are a bit of a giveaway though? Given Google's attempts at efficiencies, they probably need people to come snooping around so the sharks can eat or at least practice with the lasers.
and for all of you that think EAL certification is a waste of time or money - i'd say go through the process of getting your product certified and look at the benefits you get in the long term - improved quality, better testing, better configuration management and so on. If you haven't realised the benefits from going through the process I'd say something was wrong.
I must have missed the poll where the earth was surveyed then. I'll bet you there are more than 50 million (approx) people who haven't heard of relativity let alone accept it. You were doing ok until that point.
and you're watching this from where exactly ? Call me a sentimental old fool, but I'd rather see this thing as a fuzzy dot passing by at a healthy distance.
You know, whenever I read stuff like this and see the use of England instead of the UK, GB or whatever the credibility of the post just disappears - if there was any in the first place that is.
Hasn't Powell said he doesn't want to be in public office after this election ? He's been ill this year as well. Personally I think he's probably too nice a guy to run for president.

perfect, although I'd do it the other way around of course ! make the upstarts work harder
Here I am living 5 miles from Vodafone's global headquarters and I can't get any reception from them, but oh.. the moon gets 4G .. great.. thanks!

I, for one, would like to welcome our new laser powered bat drone overlords ..
or don't we do that anymore?

UPDATE: I didn't get raptured, but on the plus side - I now have party supplies. Ladies?
Oh come on, this is only the rapture. It's going to take a lot more than that to get chicks to talk to us

No, C2 was an old Orange book certification - not exactly dificult to achieve - pretty much means you've tested it - I exaggerate a bit ;)

I assumed they've had them for years ? IIRC some of the UK companies have been using them for a few years.
