At the same time, fanboys like you aren't helping anything either. Responding to any criticism of your chosen system with "That's not an actual problem, what the hell are you talking about" is just as bad, and it serves to push the idea that Android fanboys can't take criticism. Android is great, I love it, but to pretend that things like this aren't a problem is just insane.
Do they get the question as text on their podiums? Or over on the board? From the way it looks on TV, the board is kinda far away, so someone having vision problems might not be able to see it.
Yes, but the menu system itself is only operating on a set of predetermined responses. Such as "Pay my bill" and "Contact a customer service rep". They aren't really needing to understand "I can't dial any numbers with my touchscreen phone."
I am going to go out on a limb here, and suggest that the percentage of people missing fingers, let alone those missing fingers on both hands, is quite infintesimal.
Just to point out, most of the more popular Android phones don't have hardware keyboards. In fact, there's really only a handful of them that do, and only a couple that aren't marketed as slightly more than feature phones for texters (Droid 1/2 and some phone on Sprint being the heavy duty ones I can think of right now).
All that is clear is that the 3 people in question have used cell phones.
I'm guessing that, not only were they told that having an active cell phone in the exam room would disqualify them, but that the presence of said cell phone wouldn't automatically peg them as cheaters, but would invite a more thorough investigation.
And what are you going to do with your Theora decoder? Something like 99% of the web's video is in H.264. What good is being able to implement a free Theora decoder if there's nothing to decode?
And if you want that ability, you should be buying an Android phone, and developing for Android. If it still remains profitable to do things the other way, the phone companies will do it that way.
True, but remember, it is up to the majority of consumers. And its not necessarily what gets a company the most customers, but what brings a company more profit. If they find that it is indeed more profitable to do things like this, instead of having an open system, then they will do things like this.
I would imagine that simply having a cell phone signal near you would not be enough to qualify you as a cheater. More likely, they used the presence of the cell phone signal to investigate further for other signs of cheating.
The statistics are very good for abstinence programs. They work 100% of the time they are used. You can't get better than 100%.
IFF abstinence is actually adhered to. Most people don't stay abstinent until marriage, and whether you like it or not, the State is not going to step in and tell people to stop fucking. The failure of abstinence only programs is that they almost never cover how to effectively use birth control and condoms. So the kids that get this shitty advice, when they start having sex (and they will), will have absolutely no idea how to protect themselves, and pregnancy will occur.
Do you not realize the increase in available donations were the federal government not sucking so much out of your paycheck every week?
Yeah, you're gonna have to back that up with solid evidence and math. Don't forget to look into history to find why we actually implemented most of these programs, mainly because charity wasn't cutting it.
And yet, you are also telling everyone that vaccines are worthless, and that people should avoid them. The more people that listen to you, the lower the vaccinated population gets, until it is too low to adequately protect the herd.
Picard didn't say "Screw these loonies", he specifically forbade the one planet from being able to deliver their latest shipment of drugs to the other planet. By the time they could get another harvest of drugs over to that planet, they would have presumably broken the addiction.

Okay, see that right there? There's your first problem. "Around" somehow translates to "up"? "Around the other way" is "down"? That's not intuitive.
Ever used a volume knob before?

Most people aren't students, though. So the $99 fee still holds for most people.
I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure you still need to pay something to Microsoft for XBLA Indy development, and to run your game on your Xbox 360.

Not every phone has this. IIRC, the AT&T Android phones disallow loading software from non market sources.

Because.... um.... Capitalism!

You cannot deny that the vocal crowd of anti-vaxxers is doing just this.

Work for near poverty wages? Wages below minimum wage, that one can barely afford to live on?
Yeah, that's a great lesson to be teaching people.

A quick analysys shows that 50% of those on the government dole is capably of holding down a job.
Fifth greatest refers to size, not quality.
The EFF itself is primarily a US organization, however, I do believe they have affiliations with like-minded groups across the globe.

Presumably those who are already on Verizon have been aware of this limitation on their smartphones for a while, and have already adapted to it.
