As of today, I have not heard about a single case where the tracking was used for the phone owners benefit, and every time I have called 911 from my cell phone, the person on the other end needed me to give them my location.
Sigh, you're confusing procedure and reality.
I hit a deer about 3 weeks ago in a rural area of North Carolina at about 1am, hilly area with bad reception. Took 3 911 calls just to get the conversation going. When finally connected you are asked your location (even when you're at home) as confirmation to make sure they don't blindly send someone to the wrong side of town while you die. The same thing happens at any major medical procedure for instance, you'll be asked several times what procedure you're having to make sure no one fucked up and is going to cut off you're leg when you were supposed to have your ingrown toenail fixed.
Needless to say, before I could actually tell them my location, the cop showed up.
Regardless of where you call 911 from, they're going to ask you where you are. Address records can be wrong, they want to confirm. Its common sense really.
You have stores that sell insurance on your phone, so a stolen phone does not mean an extra sale.
So the replacement phone comes from... magic land? It doesn't get 'bought'?
You're confused, the fact that by paying for insurance you're just prepaying for your next purchase doesn't mean a new phone isn't bought, it just means you don't think things through far enough to realize you're being swindled by buying insurance.
Thats just because you're a bigoted idiot:) Even the most dangerous parts of DC aren't really all that dangerous when you look at the actual numbers rather than sensationalist media reports and the odds of anything actually happening too you are slim to none... well, unless you do something to cause someone to beat the shit out of you because they realize how you look down on them.
Except the vibrations are not controllable and only work once. All you can do is determine what state the current atom is in, you can't effect it, and as such, you can't affect change on the other end.
I really wish people would stop using retarded statements like 'both are vibrating and not simultaneously since that is 100% wrong.
Their states are undetermined, but they are in one specific state, not both. When you start making stupid states like 'its doing two opposite things at the same time' you start to make people realize that you don't actually understand what you're describing.
Just like Schrodinger's cat. Its not that the cat is both alive and dead, its that you just cant' know, the explanation for it originally was simply a shitty one that continues to perpetuate by people who don't actually understand it.
Its retarded explanations like this that make people think QM is nuts. QM is very well defined, the people describing it are, 9 times out of 10, morons who need to stop thinking because they read a wikipedia article that they understand what QM is.
Your whole first paragraph can be summed up with 'I don't know how to use windows, won't bother to google for solutions I'm looking for, and don't even understand why I want to do this things, but I'm going to bitch about it like its Microsoft's fault I'm ignorant of how Windows works'
I configured my first Linux box to have a tidy spot for the OS and its sources, not too much bigger than necessary (safety factor of 2). Put swap file on its own partition and installed all applications on a separate physical drive, with workspace for each on separate partitions. Flexible. I can change my harddisk configuration with a minimum of fuss.
Bullshit.
I have no doubt you can change your configuration, but you clearly spent too much time deciding how to layout your first Linux box. Typical of someone doesn't something because they saw someone else do it, not because they understand why to do it.
You're bragging about how bad ass you are, yet you're too stupid to realize that you put a metric fuckton of silly effort into a problem thats unlikely to effect most people as they'll probably replace the machine before a hard drive issue or need to reinstall occurs. See most people aren't like you and don't fuck their OS up so often that they plan on how easy its going to be to reinstall.
MOST people have better things to do then dick around with a PC all day long to make it uber perfect when all they are going to do is spend 15 minutes using it to browse facebook and check email. You're the kind of guy who brings a 55 ton bull dozer to your friends house to help him dig a hole for his new mailbox.
UNIX implies a specific API and several other things. Several OSes are UNIX, including Mac OS and Solaris.
Linux is an OS that is not UNIX as it intentionally does not implement the requirements for being called UNIX and as such has never and will unlikely ever be certified as a UNIX.
Just because you don't know what the words you use MEAN doesn't mean no one else does.
You can't fix stupid. If people in those districts continue to vote for the two in cycles, they'll get what they deserve. However, its unlikely the pattern would repeat very long, one of the two would get greedy and make a deal with someone else for the next time around and it'd be over fairly quickly.
Chrome has supported Kerberos for a while. They kind of want to be able to work in IE environments so they need Kerberos to function in ActiveDirectory shops... and well, their own internal networks are Kerberosized.
So your post tells me you haven't used a recent version of IE in the last few years.
You're confusing the fact that IE6 is still required in a few hassling places that we can't forget about it with MS having an old crappy browser. IE9 is most certainly not IE6, regardless of what browser you prefer.
Consider the number of hours a year it will save you and you'll fairly quickly get an idea as to cost effectiveness. Whats better... you make THEM pay for it or stop helping them.
No, IE is anorexic compared to Firefox. Perhaps you should try a recent build before making silly claims about it. I'm not saying its a great browser, but its far from being the bloated POS that firefox has turned into.
and end up with the wonderful Windows Registry? 9 out of 10 times non virus related PC problems are ALWAYS related to the registry due to database/index corruption.
You're flat out full of shit:) I'd bet $100 you've never in your life experienced real registry corruption, more likely you at best have had something mangle the actual data not the data base.
Just because the wrong keys get deleted doesn't mean your registry is corrupt any more than rm -rf/etc makes your filesystem corrupt, those both make it unlikely you're system will boot.
No one said they'll use MySQL. A properly designed database won't get corrupted beyond readability any more so than a text file.
So get a job with someone else to build up your portfolio, you don't know what an apprentice is don't you?
Life isn't easy, it takes effort. $800 in the US (which is where the ESRB matters) is 2 weeks pay at McDonalds. Thats easily attainable, and hardly an extreme amount of effort for someone trying to start their own business.
The whole idea seems daft seeing as it cannot realistically be policed.
iOS is more than happy to enforce the 'parental' controls that will prevent you from playing games with ratings higher than allowed.
While you can argue that the device can be 'jailbroken' to get around it, that argument doesn't apply to a 12 year old who doesn't know about jail breaking yet and which I can detect easily.
Also, there wasn't an active rating system when you bought Duke Nukem. Maybe if you're referring to DN3D?

You do realize your story is unbelievable for a couple of reasons, right?
You have stores that sell insurance on your phone, so a stolen phone does not mean an extra sale.
So the replacement phone comes from ... magic land? It doesn't get 'bought'?

it really is "both" (e.g. "both paths", "both crystals").
No, it really isn't. You're confusing a mathematical explanation for reality and reality itself.
I really wish people would stop using retarded statements like 'both are vibrating and not simultaneously since that is 100% wrong.

They did by giving you the source. You can diff those packages against originals for a list of changes.

Yes, they are different things.

Linux is an OS that is not UNIX as it intentionally does not implement the requirements for being called UNIX and as such has never and will unlikely ever be certified as a UNIX.

One day you'll use an IDE that doesn't suck and will immediately have a different opinion.
Okay, ... same numbers!
Guess what, those rates are so low taxes aren't an issue. You're except in every state I'm aware of.

Then I must live in a fantasy world.
What you don't realize is that there are more people with guns than military with guns.
In your particular area that may not be the case, but in mine, it most certainly is.
And for the record, this country exists because we 'fended of govt forces and they went away and left us alone' so try again.
Why?
What happens here is that all IT workers become salaried, which pretty much everyone I know prefers.
The issue of pay is quickly resolved by adjusting how much you demand in your paycheck. If they don't want to pay you, you leave.
They'll be a brief bit of upset but it won't last long and everything will continue on right as it was before.
The only moron here is you, getting all excited over what will amount to noting when all is said and done.

$800 is hardly going to break the bank of someone trying to sell a game. If it does, the bank was going to break anyway.
