I post factual information and get modded flamebait? Really? Bash is a shell and openSSL is a library, Linux uses both, but neither are a part of Linux; in fact, both are used in a *lot* of other products. That makes Heartbleed and ShellShock both not linux bugs.
2nd in a few months vs thousands in a single release. Yeah... I wonder why there's not so much indignation toward Linux right now. It's either got to do with volume, as I just implied, or, maybe, the fact that neither this, nor Heartbleed, were Linux bugs.
2 months in the wilderness, hiking so you're packing light. Solar charger strapped to the back of your pack provides enough juice during the day to keep your phone charged. Hoe many photos might one take in 2 months? How much video? microSD cards are lightweight enough that you can carry a few TB with you if you so choose.
A laptop is ruled out by both its weight and power requirements, while uploading to a cloud provider as you go is ruled out by the fact that it's the middle of the fucking wilderness and you probably don't have signal. Sometimes, you just have to realize that, despite its drawbacks, the only available solution has to be considered as the perfect solution. In this case, it's a microSD slot in your phone.
I keep my iPad Air in a shockproof case, not because I drop it a lot (though, there was that one time), but because it's just too damn thin to hold comfortably IMO. But, then, how thin it was wasn't a selling point for me; thankfully, neither was the flashiness of "oh, hey look! An APPLE LOGO!" as I bought it knowing that I'd need to put it in a case.
Plastic bottles ceased to exist between when I mentioned them and when you posted your reply? It also seems you failed to click the link in my post; had the can in that video not partially melted and leaked, pressure would have build up until it ruptured.
Indeed, it all comes down to the size of the hole you're sticking it in and how much pain you can tolerate. Oddly, I'm still referring to phones and pockets, here.
A bottle? Maybe, if the bottle is aluminum or steel. If it's glass or plastic, you're up a creek, though. Given enough time, you're up a creek with a can, as well, as the can will absorb the energy and heat itself, so, while you may not heat the contents of the can directly, they will absorb heat from the can itself.
That's great if you only want to sync a few files to a few specific locations, but it's nice to be able to fully manage the device, which Air Droid lets you do. Perhaps a combination of the two methods would provide the best of both worlds?
Thanks for the tip, though, I was not aware of Bittorrent Sync!
Air Droid is an awesome (free) app, used in local mode and without an account. Definitely check it out, it's made using HTC sync manager so much easier (by making it unnecessary).
It's worse than that! The company I work for has one negative review on Yelp, but several positive reviews "pending" that they won't publish unless we pay them! And the negative review was over the fact that they didn't yet have a quote from us for custom work for which they hadn't provided us the requested details.
Looking at the page now, it does look like they published two of the positive reviews, but there are still a handful held in limbo. How long between the authoring and publishing of the negative review, though? No time at all.
Maybe it wasn't an argument at all, but a joke? Fancy that, and form an Apple use, of all people. (To be fair, I also use an Android phone, run my business on Linux, use Windows for testing, and have been eying a Chromebook Pixel for a while now)
Then we agree, if I didn't need it before today, I don't need it now. At least, as far as content on a website is concerned.
Until organizations that provide the paid services I rely on start cramming ads down my throat, I don't think it'll be an issue. Once they start that, we're all fucked, anyway.
No, in general, they don't. Very few Apple customers are satisfied, and that's exactly what Apple wants; a satisfied user doesn't upgrade. I say this as someone who's quite satisfied with my HTC One (M7, not the M8 that came out this year) and iPad Air, but becoming less and less satisfied with my 2011 (e.g. aging hardware) 17" MBP, but sticking with it because I'd be less satisfied with a smaller display and I'm not yet so dissatisfied with it the switch back to a PC.
To put that into perspective for you, I wanted the M8 when it came out, but the M7 still satisfies my needs; I can't justify the upgrade, so I don't spend the money; if I weren't still satisfied with the M7, I'd have the M8 and HTC would have made more money. Likewise, I'm satisfied with the iPad Air, which is probably good as it's the newest model, but I'll likely remain satisfied with it for as long as it can run the newest version of iOS (or at least the version required for the apps I use), so Apple won't get any more of my money, which they want, there. As for my MBP? Well, Apple could have my money, but they quit making what I want in a laptop, so I simply remain unsatisfied.
And if you're away for an extended period and want to take a lot of photos or video? That 32GB may not be enough, but the ability to buy a few SD cards and swap them out as you fill them up sure would be useful. If that's not a use case you'll ever encounter, then great, you're all set, but that doesn't mean it's not a use case that exists.
Or, Apple could make a phone for those of us who want expandable storage and those who don't want that can not buy it, or simply not put a card in the slot. He can still be happy, but then so can I, says the Android user who would be an iPhone user if that one feature existed on the platform.

Then post it?
And what of plastic bottles? You seem to not want to acknowledge that point. Why?
My M7 has been rock-freakin-solid, my best friend and my boss both have the M8 and theirs seem pretty solid as well
If this as much of a problem with the HTC One models? Both the M7 and the M8. I don't think it is, and they're both aluminum bodies, as well.
So you're saying the phone was already bent from the factory and the RDF was making it appear straight?
Well, there's Wave Charging... that should also fix this issue. I mean, once the phone's fried, you don't care anymore that it's also bent.

Anyone using Wave Charging *did* buy a brick with the Apple logo on it.

Maybe your school's microwave was broken.
I don't need to understand it, I don't manage out Yelp presence; it's not my company, I'm just a developer there.

Unopened... Container of liquid... As in sealed pressure vessel... Being heated past boiling.
In case you missed a physics class, that's a bomb, my friend.
