Your use of "neckbeard" dates you, that was a hip term two years ago. I'm guessing you have a neckbeard fetish, there might be genre of porn just for you.

Hand in your card and get the fuck out.
You assume GP was given a card in the first place. (And would give a king's ransom if I could remember my 5 digit UID:( )
Presumably the entire expanse (limited though it is) of the back of said phone. I know with mine (GS4), it tends to get hot centered at the CPU, and to a lesser degree, the battery. However, the rest of the case is generally cool. So a heat pipe putting the heat "over there" (and thus, equalizing the temperature across the entirety of the unit) wouldn't be the end of the world.
dammit, I really do need a new keyboard. probably another typo he'll crucify me over: 'huts' == 'hurts'.
see, letters get dropped all the time. I'm sure your keyboard is brand new and all keys respond perfectly as you hit them... (rolls eyes).
(Not the GP)... No, but I have enough IBM Model M's that when the keys start misbehaving, said malfunctioning keyboard goes into the "Beat the [PHB|HR Drone|DamnKidOnMyLawn] to Death" pile, along with a couple of vintage AT&T wall phones (you know, the ones you had to rent from AT&T) and other built to last stuff from the days when America took pride in manufacturing.
Let's be clear here a computer science or masters degree teaches you not one whit about how a computer works in terms of physics or chemistry. subjects aren't even really touched unless you decide to pick them up.
There's a very clear line where a computer begins, and that is at the gate level, and/or/not. Below that, it doesn't matter what materials you use (except for efficiency purposes). You can use transistors, or you can use relays, or water pipes.
or redstone... but that tends to be hard to come by, so best to build in "creative" rather than "survival" mode.;)
What the hell does that even mean? Does it mean we only have 5 minutes left to live? or fifty years? or an additional five thousand years? The claim isn't even falsifiable, since it's not anchored to any specific meaning whatsoever.
"Midnight" = Imminent global thermonuclear war (or, these days "catastrophic climate change")
"x Minutes to Midnight" = Indicator of how close international tensions are to breaking (or, "catastrophic climate change" -- however they define that).
Thing is, I will agree that the clock's usage is pretty awful -- it's updated infrequently enough that it can only be considered as an indicator of the tensions for the few days before and after the actual update. For example, the Cuban Missile Crisis - arguably the closest humanity has come to total annihilation - was resolved in between updates to the clock, and as such did not effect a change to the clock in 1962.
To be fair, they wouldn't have to attack 18,000 theaters to achieve the desired effect. One or two would be quite sufficient. I still don't think the release of the movie should be stopped, of course. At the very least, have it up on Netflix and Amazon Prime asap. Or even better, put it up as a DRM-free download straight from Sony. That may be the best PR move Sony could make at this point.
Migt be DRM Free... but it'll still be riddled with all the best rootkits in their arsenal.
So, a bot will be giving advice to drunk college freshmen to act reasonably...
Sure, we all know how well it works when you (as a real human who cares) say to someone: "Dude,don't do that please, it's stupid, you're drunk and you're gonna regret it"...</quote>

...I could easily swap batteries if needed, and this were in the days when one charge actually would last for days in difference from today where users look for apps and tweaks to conserve battery power just to make it last from morning 'till evening. One would expect that with smartphones and their relatively poor ability to hold a charge this would be even more important today....
Or perhaps back then, when the only thing you did with your phone was call someone, and the most battey-taxing displays were 2" square, had 256 colors, and were on for a grand total of 30 seconds before you made a call has something to do with the fact that the batteries "lasted longer". Has nothing to do with having "relatively poor ability to hold a charge" but everything to do with "hey, I'm just gonna play a few rounds of Angry Birds while I'm waiting for them..."
I mean, seriously, my standard battery in the GS4 is 2200 mAh -- nearly double the one in my old flip-phone (IIRC, ~1200 mAh)... just because I only "get" 2 hours of having the phone run flat out doesn't mean the battery is at fault... It just means that, running flat out, the phone requires about 3.6v @ 1 amp to run, and the battery can supply that for just about 2 hours before running dry.
I'm surprised their are passenger trains at all in other parts of the country... Here in PA, Philly I think is the only city with passenger train service through Amtrak. Oh sure, we have lots of rail lines (I drive over 6 sets of tracks every day), but those are exclusively industrial transportation and not passenger lines...
Amtrak runs over CSX/NS/UP/etc.-owned trackage with infinite-length trackage rights (i.e. ability to travel over "foreign" rail) due to the US government taking over the (failing) passenger rail service from the former large railroads (NKP, PRR, NYC, etc.) in 1971.
Amtrak says they have service to Altoona, Ardmore, Coatesville, Connellsville, Cornwells Heights, Downington, Elizabethtown, Erie, Exton Greensburg, Harrisburg, Huntingdon, Johnstown, Lancaster, Lantrobe, Lewistown, Middletown, Mount Joy, North Philadelphia, Paoli, Parkersburg, Philadelphia (30th Street), Pittsburgh, and Tyrone. Granted that most (if not all) of these stations probably have service at some godawful time, like 0300, due to proximity to NYC, and the schedule between NYC and Chicago (1 train daily, leaving at approx 1800, and arriving at the other end at approx 0600 the following morning).
I think you just sold your soul for approx $1.99, which is pretty useless, because the gorram bag of Cheetos might have some kind of sales tax involved when you try cashing out.
Better to trade one soul for a bag of Cheetos directly...
I think you actually meant "Christians" rather than "Catholic", as "Catholic" happens to be one sub-set (generally one of the not as bad ones... although the whole priest thing doesn't really help their image...). If you're referring to the bible itself, yeah it "says" that the Earth is ~6000 years old, but it's just a story where "so, a thousand years ago, this happened". It could just as easily start off "A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." and cover the same general message.
Really though, the important teachings in the O.T. are meant to keep your dumb ass alive from food-borne illnesses (don't eat pork, don't eat shellfish... some are a bit more out there -- e.g. eating meat & dairy is "bad")... or other diseases (don't sleep around, don't bugger your neighbours... etc) under the guise of "God said so". When your most advanced medicine boils down to "hope for the best", this is probably a good idea. N.T. is more focused on "don't be an asshole" than anything.

Identify the source, and route around it?
Stop tampering with your telescreen. The thought police will be by shortly to ensure compliance.

So, if I call TWC (evil cable co in my area), and tell the L1 moron "Shibboleet", I get transferred to you, right? =]
I prefer DFENESTRATE, or in extreme cases, DCAPITATE.
Too bad DFENESTRATE is a windows-only application.
Pretty sure you're thinking of the Cybermen there. Daleks don't upgrade anyone ... they just exterminate.

Unless they're horribly slow to adopt new technologies/strategies/etc, and assume that we've had no meaningful advances since the Crusades.
