If they mention anything about locked bank accounts don't believe them. Or at least, contact me so I can act as an intermediary and route the fee payments through my account. This will firewall you from any small possibilty of attempted fraud.
You know signal or radiation or whatever in wireless is measured in dB which means it gets exponentially stronger when you get closer.
The measuring system has nothing to do with how it falls off with distance. And it's inverse-square, not exponential (that word doesn't mean "a lot", despite how some people use it).
It could be that. Or it could simply be that the twat using the phrase is an incompetent spunksplat who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.
Clara Rockmore tells us that she even hated touch tone telephones because the tones were not on-key notes and she didn't want to hear them.
My understanding is that the tones were chosen so to avoid having harmonics in common, as that might cause the machinery to misidentify them. The jarring noise they make is a consequence of this.
in the US iPhones are supposed to work only on the AT&T network in the first two years according to their agreement with Apple.
That agreement can't be binding on a third party. Apple can say "hey, we tried." Whether AT&T think they tried hard enough is a different matter - and if they don't, well, it'll be lawyers at 100 paces.

So the whole of Europe got their asses kicked ... by a hobbit?
Hey, it works for my luggage!

I'm a womble, you insensitive clod!!!!
It's been a while since any mention of Michael Sims, one-time darling of the sladshdot in-crowd - a person guilty of exactly the tactics mentioned in TFA - has come up.
Are you thinking something along the lines of humans being enslaved/wiped out as in Terminator or the Butlerian Jihad?
Or just that the hyper intelligent machine will be able to jot down an infallible patent for everything possible, including itself?
It could be that. Or it could simply be that the twat using the phrase is an incompetent spunksplat who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.
Then again, we could both be right.
Bullshit. If someone is proposing a dangerous, unworkable or downright impossible course of action, obstructing them is the correct course of action.
Depends on whether they're boys or girls.
I could care less.
This sounds like something for testing, not teaching.
That would be silly. The questions on the Latin exam were in Greek. And that's how we liked it!
The former are merely ignorant - they have the option to learn, to delegate, to bring in someone who does know; the latter really are idiots.
