I like lopey V8s, burbling boxers, and screaming 3 or 4 rotors as much as anyone, but the Killacycle sounds kind of like a rocket when it takes off. It's not bad. Certainly not silent.
Unroot and re-lock the thing before you send it in for a warranty.
Since there's no guarantee you'll even get the same device back with a warranty return, what you should really do is make a nandroid (1:1 backup) first and then restore the phone to factory state (bootloader, recovery, rom, data, and all). Then whatever phone you do end up with can be restored to your 'old' phone in a few minutes, and you don't have to worry about who has your data, and unless the FBI is spying on you no one will ever know you did those naughty unlocking and rooting things.
1) It's supposed to guide carriers/mfgs away from partitioning the memory on their phones (apps/music/etc). The Nexus standard is for a single volume that the user can fill with whatever they like. Remember, the Nexus line is a "do as I do" standard.
2) Mixing EXT and FAT is silly, since the benefits of EXT are lost when users shift their stuff to the FAT SD card. Since most people think FAT is what you are when you're overweight, and EXT is a trim level on a Chevy truck, they don't realize what they're giving up (like filesystem security) by moving apps and data to their SD card.
3) Forcing MTP mode means the phone can keep it's entire filesystem mounted without having to hand it over to whatever computer it's plugged in to, as well as keeping control (permissions) over the actual data on/written to the disk. It also means that when you trip and yank the USB cable out in the middle of copying files over, you haven't corrupted your data.
4) It saves on hardware (cost, thickness, etc)
5) Fewer interoperability headaches. Not all SD cards are created equal, and someone trying to run a read/write intensive app off their slow-as-dirt cheap SD may blame poor performance on "my piece of shit phone"
When I first got my Galaxy Nexus, I too was concerned about the storage limitations. After all, I wanted to put my entire music library on my phone... never mind that my entire library is literally weeks of playtime, or that there are apps perfectly capable of streaming my own media off a home server for me on demand (with the caveat/concession that I am normally away from WiFi for no more than 30 minutes), or that if I *really* wanted to go gung-ho with music for some reason I had a perfectly capable MP3 player that was even better than my phone (battery life, etc) for that purpose. Nope, I wanted to put the whole thing on my phone because it would make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. The reality is that I don't need to do that, I just wanted to. Once I shifted my expectations to match my reality, it ceased to bother me.
I compare the lack of an SD card to the "range anxiety" you see in EV cars. It bothers us that it's not available even though the majority of trips are well within an EV's range. Once you prove to yourself that you don't really need it (and can work around it in case you do), it's not such a big deal.
If you jump down a page or two to some actual examples (note that most of them seem incomplete thusfar, but hey) they do pretty much what you were asking by breaking things down ESRB style. For example:
Google (No Class Yet): - Google can use your content for all their existing and future services + Limited copyright license to operate and improve all Google Services + Inform about data requests + Google posts notice of changes, with a 14-day ultimatum. + Transparency on law enforcement requests : Partial archives of their terms are available : Jurisdiction in California : (more info on the forum)
They even have extensions/addons for various browsers, to expedite my (and presumably, your) laziness.
Out of curiosity (and at the risk of opening a huge can of worms), and as someone who has enjoyed most interpretations of Star Trek but was never moved to the point of obsession or "trekkie" status... what was wrong with that movie? I liked it a lot.
Of course - she was extremely effective at an early blitz campaign where her military bonuses and native anti-spy abilities let her simply crank out military units and push deep into enemy territory before most other factions could mount a reasonable defense. Miriam wasn't really any good at running an economy, or gaining technological superiority, or a numbers advantage (or most other things) on her own - she was good at taking them by force from other players, jumping out to an early lead, and using sheer momentum and decisive military action to carry her to victory. They were never my preferred faction, but I can't say they weren't an effective one at times.
Why exactly is the lock associated with (as I presume you must mean) the female, while the male gets to be the key? Why not the other way round?
There's no gender conspiracy involved. It's entirely a product of society. Now, you'll have to pick your favourite theory as to why women are generally viewed as the gatekeepers of sex (and I'm not saying I agree with them or am taking a prescriptive stance on gender roles here), but perception tends to be reality in many social constructs. It's entirely plausible to imagine a society and/or biology where males are the sexual gatekeepers; but we don't happen to live in one of those realities at this period of time.
When you think about it, the whole analogy makes very little sense, in fact it's really nothing but thinly disguised male-supremacist propaganda.
Again, no conspiracy on my part. It's just humour - admittedly poor humour (but that's sort of the point) - that answers the question that was asked. The interpretation that it's callous, misogynistic, etc is entirely valid, but it's also a part of the explanation - the insensitivity of the joke is a clue as to why it happens to be true. Chalk that up to whatever gender-inequality theory that you prefer.
I'm guessing you probably first learned it from some religious text or religious authority figure, very likely Christian.
An interesting theory, and a perfectly reasonable guess, but sadly it's not accurate. I'm not religious (I'm an atheist at best; an anti-theist at worst) nor was I brought up to be. As for the quote, I bumped into it somewhere else on the internet.
I understand why you would be offended. I knew full well that it was a risque comment (you should see the moderation I received for it. I think I actually managed to get every single mod possible!) and that's fine, I have karma to burn and usually I'm not easily offended. The point wasn't to incite anyone though. Mostly it was just a bit of lame humour, but buried deep down there was a backhanded comment on society too. My apologies if I missed the mark on that.
Or it was a shot across Google's bow. If Apple really wanted to hurt Samsung alone, they would have picked the SII instead - it's very close to the same phone (admittedly, it was Samsung's "true" flagship phone as the hardware specs were the same or better). Going after the Nexus was probably nothing more than a two-birds-one-stone scenario, attacking their largest hardware competitor and their largest (only?) OS competitor (and sworn enemy) at the same time.
Clearly, we would need to send an even bigger satellite to take care of the old one. And then a bigger one, and then a bigger one, until one day we make a board with a nail in it so big, it destroys the whole world!! *Maniacal laughter*
I always figured hell would be a lot like Las Vegas. If the whole point of heaven and hell is a popularity contest (come retire at my resort!), then it makes sense for it to be one big anything-goes party. Heaven sounds kinda stuffy, on the other hand, with all those silly rules and things. I'd rather spend my eternity drunk off my ass than singing hymns all day.
Here on Slashdot, we should all be drinking rum since rum is what pirates drink and everyone knows nerds love pirates. And ninjas. But sake is nasty, i'll stick to the rum myself.
I'd argue that Canada and Australia, despite their vast physical separation, and despite variations in detail (eg: they love rugby and we love hockey - but we both love "our" sports) are remarkably similar in general. We share many themes (commonwealth, beer, sports, left/liberal/egalitarian society, native/aboriginal influences, native/aboriginal issues, sense of humour, cultural inferiority complex, etc) for being so very different in specifics. We're a sort of mirror image of each other, and there's almost a natural fit between the two nations as a result.

Who says we'd let you be a province? I think "The Territory of the Former United States of America" sounds pretty good. ;)

Your choices are actually:
Apple's hardware + Apple's OS + Apple approved software
or
LG's hardware + Whatever ROM you like + Whatever apps you like

And, just like an Apple product, you can't edit it!

A (user side) solution from TFA:
The issue can be limited by disabling the steam:// URL handler
Sounds alright to me. I can't recall ever clicking a steam:// link anyways.
Sounds good. Let's call it... Chiron. Or maybe Manifold 6?
Ooh, ooh, is it going to have telepathic worms?
A key that opens many locks is a master key. A lock that can be opened by many keys is a shitty lock.
Not saying I agree with it, but the analogy fits fairly well.
Apple phones, Samsung phones... ALL MADE IN TAIWA... uh, CHINA!
Or it was a shot across Google's bow.
If Apple really wanted to hurt Samsung alone, they would have picked the SII instead - it's very close to the same phone (admittedly, it was Samsung's "true" flagship phone as the hardware specs were the same or better).

Nuke it for 1/2-2/3rds the time you normally would, then finish it in the oven/toaster oven on broil.
It might take a few tries but you can get pretty close.
Clearly, we would need to send an even bigger satellite to take care of the old one. And then a bigger one, and then a bigger one, until one day we make a board with a nail in it so big, it destroys the whole world!!
*Maniacal laughter*
I sincerely hope "wiffle" is how you spell "aluminum" in your nation or culture.
So the solution to the issue of excluding people from stuff based on their gender is... to exclude people from stuff based on their gender?
Sociology is funny.
