If you've ever actually stop and notice how your hands grip things, you'll notice that while you're typing on an iPhone, you're pushing against your other fingers, which are holding the back of the phone. Now, I don't know the size of your hands, but mine are large enough I cannot comfortably grip the back with anything more than maybe the first knuckles of my index and middle fingers.
Try holding an iPhone like that; maybe you'll get up to the second knuckle. Regardless, notice that when typing different letters in different positions, there will be torque. So what do you do? You grip it tighter. Coupled with the fact that I was typing on a $400 phone that I paid cash for, I subconciously kept a larger force than I needed to.
Contrast it with the Blackberry Curve. Still fairly small, still fairly expensive. The difference? A physical keyboard where the keys sank in, letting me know, "Hey Mac, that's far enough." Besides sparing my thumbs, I could text without looking at the damn thing. Or were you one of those folk who insisted on looking at the keypad when you dialed?
By the way, desktop keyboard? Feedback from the membrane/springs. Try typing withone of those laser-projected keyboards for 15 or 20 minutes. I can guarantee your hands won't be as comfortable as if you had used a physical keyboard.
Had an iPhone for a 8 months. Sold it, got a Blackberry Curve instead. The problem with the keyboard is not that it's unusable. I can type out words with it: usable. The problem is the lack of feedback, which leads me to pressing much harder than I need to, which leads to sore thumbs after more than just a few text messages. And I don't like that clicking noise either.
Ok, I'll bite. How's this? You are ill and go to a public hospital, which is at least in part funded by taxpayer dollars. Your medical records are thus being handled by doctors, nurses, technicians, clerks, etc. on the public payroll. Therefore, you should have no expectations that your medical records will be kept private.
Or you could be aware that they're going to hand you a twenty page contract and set aside enough time to read it when you go to the shop and not just spend the majority of the time fiddling around with the phones they have on display.
I don't see how them saying "you are not allowed to share the data access that you receive on this phone with another device unless you pay us extra" is unrelated to the issue at hand. They're selling you services to use on the cellphone.
I've had the opportunity to notice a few times that these days people are are being asked to pull out smartphones, so I don't know if you can get around it.
You seem to be confusing energy generation with energy storage. Collected energy (say, your beloved solar energy) would be used to compress air, which would be stored. When more energy is needed than is instantaneously available, that compressed air would be utilized.
So just because SOME versions of XP are remarkably clean, Microsoft remains the only offender in distributing bloated OS garbage via their business model with hardware vendors like HP/Sony/Dell etc. I do practically all my computing inside a browser so I could care less, but my understanding is this:
1) Microsoft sells licenses to HP/Sony/Dell to install Windows on their PCs 2) HP/Sony/Dell sign deals with 3rd parties to install trial/crap/adware/shortcuts to broadband providers to subsidize the computer cost, allowing them to have sub-$300 specials 3) HP/Sony/Dell may also sign a deal with Microsoft wherein the hardware manufacturer gets money to install Microsoft Office Trial on the machine. 4) HP/Sony/Dell sells trial/crap/adware/shortcut-laden machine to consumer
Setting (3) aside, what does Microsoft have to do with the bloat? Also, as a one-time owner of a MacBook, I remember some crap pre-installed that I didn't need or want, such as iWork trial, GarageBand, multiple shortcuts and references to.Mac, etc. Apple sells both the hardware and operating system and they decided they didn't want to cut any deals with 3rd parties. Fine. But why don't *they* let me install the only things I want during setup, hmm?
What they already know is that probably more than one person will be affected. The question for them is, how many more people will run into situations like this. If it's a "small" number, they'll continue using this. If it's a "big" number, they'll drop it for the next release.
The problem is I can't play the game when I'm waiting at the airport, or while doing carsharing, or on a bus, or many other locations where I don't have an internet connection. I can't play it unless I'm at home, hooked up to my network. If I'm at home, there's a whole lot of other things that I could - maybe ever prefer to -do. THAT'S the problem. This system forces me to login every 10 days. That's great when I'm at home, but what if I'm on a two or three week trip? Are you seriously telling me I need to remember to find an open access point so that I can get it verified to be able to play it?
If you have a large phone, it can be a minor hassle getting it out of your bag or pocket everytime you want to check the time. Also, clocks are a little harder to come by when you're out and about. On my campus at least, there are a considerable number of classrooms without clocks; that, or they're positioned in a really awkward location (meant more for the professor's use).
Anyways, I picked up a Swatch-made SPOT watch for $15 on ebay a few weeks ago. Basic service is free, and even if they end that, it still makes for a decent cheap watch.
"Not sure if you're aware of this, but most teenagers who go on homocidal rampages spend a lot of time fantasizing about that sort of thing before they actually commit the crime. THe more material they have abvailable to fantasize with, the futher progress down the path of becoming a murderer themselves."

A hardware keylogger records what passes through it from the keyboard to the computer. With his method, all it's going to see is somewhat hitting 'ctrl+c' and 'ctrl+v' a bunch of times. Could take a while though.
The other way to defeat most off-the-shelf hardware keyloggers is to check the connection between the keyboard and the computer...
Just always run Firefox off of the stick (even while you're at home). Otherwise, the only thing I can suggest to you is to pull up the virtual keyboard and input using the mouse; you'd have to move the window around after every few characters to try to fend off programs that track mouse movements also. If the machines Tempest-ed (or its local equivalent) or the screen is being recorded, you're out of luck anyways.
If it's not your machine, you really can't do anything about this sort of thing.
...and while you're getting ready to fire the RPG, a sniper takes you out. That's not the point. There's no setup. The entire package is supposed to fit in a missile or the like. MAHEM is supposed to be - judging from the FA and press release - an upgraded version of your standard HEAT round. The listed benefits are better control over the jet; multiple, quasi-aimable jets; and more energy on target.

I wouldn't be surprised that: if you weren't a citizen, they'd threaten to turn you away, and if you were, they'd confiscate it.
So you're saying that if it weren't for HIPAA you'd be totally okay with this?

2.0 was formerly known as 1.2.
Um, no. He's so excited about the App Store that he upgraded the firmware from 1.1.4 to 1.2, which is known as iPhone 2.0 to the public.
Because:
1) Apple doesn't let just anyone sell just any program that they make. There's a bunch of content and technical restrictions in place.
2) Even if you would get the ok for the program, you'd still have to pay the $99 fee.

You're an idiot. Since the GGP didn't see any issues of 'freedom' with Java, GP tried out a few other examples that GP might be involved with.

...what would we do with the giant hole left after extracting that petroleum?
It kind does have the name though: the 2133. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue though.
