Yes. They are in fact, much the same. Although you can actually get untimed local calls from them, unlike BT. Timed local calls used to really suck when depending on dialup.
You can get chargers that output via a USB connector for charging devices designed to be charged via a USB port. The biggest advantage is that the voltage and polarity are standardised.
With concentric DC connectors, just because it fits, doesn't mean it won't fry your device instead of charging it. you have to read the label and maybe carry lots of them. A USB port produces 5V with specific current limits. Therefore if something is designed to charge from USB, it will work with any USB socket. One adaptor can charge lots of things.
c'mon, most Nokia phones that I've seen at least use a relatively standard concentric DC connector for charging. Unlike some other mobile phones (I'm looking at you LG, Samsung)
Their data connector is another matter. Like you said, the only reason they use that is so they can stop third parties making accessories (rather unsuccessfully , I might add) because that's where the money is. Other vendors are worse in this regard than Nokia.
There is such a thing as Portable Firefox. I use it myself because it installs on a removeable USB disk and leaves nothing behind when you are done. Keeps everyone relatively safe.
Imprisonment without trial, sometimes for years, was common. Basic rights that were afforded to all US Citizens by the Constitution and all subsequent US law were not afforded citizens of the rest of the world simply because they did not live in the US.
That'll work for a good long while. But in Total Reality we are simply going to have to make OTHER PLANS. We live in a high energy society thanks to fossil fuels. This level of energy consumption is not sustainable, and I would argue, not desirable. We need to adjust our direction of civilisation away from more toys and gadgets to higher quality human interactions and more meaningful labour.
Sorry all you PR saps and admin assistants at hedge funds and nail salon operators. I would recommend you learn something useful, like FARMING. Or dismantling Las Vegas and Phoenix.
Pol Pot already tried this in the 70s. It didn't work, except it did reduce Cambodia's energy usage. And their population.
There is a spot called Galston Gorge, which, for a car or motorcycle, is the fastest route from the Dural area through to Hornsby.
Trouble is, it's got a narrow bridge at the bottom, and about four (from memory) switchback hairpins up the East side that are challenging for most cars, and anything bigger than an SUV simply won't fit.
There are signs warning heavy vehicles not to enter, but if you approach from the west, while it winds a lot, there are no obvious obstacles for several km until you get to the bridge at the bottom. I've seen several trucks stuck at the bridge having approached from the West and ignored the signs.
I wouldn't like to have to reverse a semi all the way back up that hill. I'm pretty sure truck drivers only ever do it once and then never trust their GPS again, but it takes them and the Police a long time to untangle it all, and in the meantime, the road has to be closed.
No, you can still get multi region players. When the Consumer magazine Choice tested DVD players recently, they marked down the ones that weren't multi-region
In a lot of cases though they'll play every region except 1, possibly because of that Free Trade shafting.
Can you still get in if you have a history of working for despotic regimes, membership of far right political organisations, links to slavery and forced labour and previous employment developing terror weapons?
Two devices? surely with two sockets (and most of the recent motherboards I've seen still have two) you can support four devices. Just don't expect to RAID them all usefully.

Fixed that for you
Guantanamo Bay Deja-Vu anyone?
No they don't. because I've been blocking any domain with "doubleclick" in the name for years.
Actually that is a moon, not a space station.
I hope so, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as the Slashdot Community
It'll still attack you when you walk past it, but at least you'll see it coming.
Yes, but Kamino is missing for some reason.

remember this is for the Beijing olympics...

Seems to be a street name that upsets people too. Always, the oncoming cars are full of people sounding horns and screaming abuse.
If there are no more people to provide coal, then there will be no-one left to care.
that's why they sell those calculators

The Germans got to go home after the war was over (OK not immediately, but soon after)
How will we know when the "war on terror" is over?
Obviously not far from Rose Tyler's house then...
When it's not there anymore, you'll know why.

So how many Libraries of Cogress is that?

You mean like those giant squids?
In Far North Queensland they already have crocodiles for that.
