It's not really the early screening that is causing poor health outcomes. It's the overly aggressive treatments based on those early screenings and making a guess as to what kind of growth rate the cancer has. Maybe we just cut out the aggressive treatments and live with cancer until you know what kind of growth rates it has. Then there's 3 outcomes.
Those with high growth rates will die sooner. Those with average growth rates will live longer Those with below average growth rates will live longer.
If, and it's a big if, the growth rates are spread evenly, then stopping early treatments would help 2/3 of cancer patients to live longer.
Birds will be better off. They won't see the reflections, thinking there's trees behind the glass. They'll see what's actually behind the glass. Now, if you put a bunch of trees on the other side of the windows...
Yes. All computers I had before my first x86 PC (with Win98) had no method of getting updates without paying for new OS media. Commodores, Amigas, BBCs, Macs..
So nothing in the last 15 years since downloadable updates have been available. Yeah, that really changes things.
Most bugs in phones will be in updatable apps, not the Linux kernel
How about you compare it to a software company? Have you ever bought a computer with an OS, or a software package, and DIDN'T expect updates for security, functionality, bug fixes, etc? That's how most everyone feels about phones and OS updates. And why most everyone expects updates. This isn't new to phones.
As for the car analogy, even car companies do recalls for security updates.
RTFA. He started at the original G1 and went forwards to get a historical sense of support.
Notes on the chart and data Why stop at June 2010? I’m not going to. I do think that having 15 months or so of history gives a good perspective on how a phone has been treated, but it’s also just a labor issue - it takes a while to dredge through the various sites to determine the history of each device. I plan to continue on and might also try to publish the underlying table with references. I also acknowledge that it’s possible I’ve missed something along the way.
Actually, the pressure problem is a very good point. Taking the heat off the top would actually make the cap more brittle. And when it does explode, it would do so with that much more of a bang.

Don't forget the massive amounts of radiation spewed out by coal plants.
Please don't make flying harder than it is by telling the idiots in charge where the vast, gaping security holes are.
Thanks,

Yeah, but will they think the fuse is a tail?

Blue jumpsuit and a fake ID should do it.
Maybe if this becomes public knowledge, no one will work the scanners.
Thanks, Rush Limbaugh!
Don't forget the tens of thousands we'll kill in return for them killing hundreds!
We won't block anything. Just get a good groping in, and let them on through.
Would have been much funnier if you had logged in to post it.
I'm sure changing America from a republic to a community democracy will go smoothly.
Except that independent verification can almost always be bought.
Actually, it's just bad security setup on that server. See the pki for Blackberry - same thing.

Shorting stock is a game of predicting that the stock will lose value within the next *week*.
You should look into LEAPS. Year+ ranges, much less capital investment, but much riskier.

Riiiiight.
So broadband should be provided the same as health care?
Because if that's the claim you're making, you're crazy.
And if that's not the claim you're making, then they have no relation to one another and your example is completely meaningless.

Also, others find real value in some of these updates. Like a lot of $$ value.

Also, try some reading comprehension. The iPhone "2G" was supported by updates for 3 years. Which was up to iOS 4.

But feel free to read into it all your anti-Apple biases.
So, it's not ok to be happy with a phone when you buy it, but then want updates in a year or two? Why does it matter if it's useful or fun?
So, you're saying theres value in getting updates.

Bolivia could pave over northern Chile and get some new beachfront property.
I did. The day before their last earning release. $27.5 Sept puts went up 5.5x in 18 hours.
