iPhones are expensive.
People who buy iPhones have a lot of money
Women are often "attracted" to rich men
iPhone owners get more sex.
Thrid world nations have much higher birth rates then first world nations.
Higher birth rate means more sex. More sex means less wealth.
Iphone owners (report) more sex.
Iphone owners must be poor.
This study suggests that iPhone users report more sexual partners.
That doesn't necessarily mean more sex.
Actually it means neither. It means Iphone owners spend more time filling out surveys about sex and trying to link it to their phone.
As an Android owner and having 4 threesomes since late may (OK they were all in early July) I dont hear the same form Iphone owners, apparently they have a problem with multi-tasking.
VLC's programmers should improve the interface in one key aspect that has boggled my mind for a while:
Because most of the world cares about how the video player performs rather then how it looks. When I use VLC I want to press the play button and have the whole thing go away until I'm done. At this very moment VLC does just that.
I would like to see video and audio controls on the active default interface. At the moment, if I am watching video and want to adjust contrast, saturation, brightness etc
This puts you into 0.00001% of VLC users, besides VLC is open source so if it's that important to you make your own damn interface.
Too many steps for a simple thing in my opinion.
If it were a simple thing, most people play with equalisers for 2 minutes and never touch them again for the rest of the gadgets/software lifetime.
Identity theft and missing persons aren't costing $500 billion a year, are they?
And piracy is?
Acutally ID theft will be costing the banks quite a bit and you know who ends up paying for that. Costing quite a bit more then piracy is considering most piracy happens where US laws are unenforceable, although several piracy analysts have have been hospitalised recently, apparently they were pulling rather large numbers out of their arses. Repairing damage on that magnitude is quite costly.
Better low wages than NO wages, that being the current situation in our Rust Belt.
You're missing the point,
Wages that are drastically lower then the average cost of living is not better then the current situation. Yes this will lower the cost of living in that area but will also lower the quality of life (education, health care) effectively creating an underclass, essentially modern day serfs that become dependent on their company to feed, clothe and shelter them.
What needs to happen is for industries to be set up that cannot be effectively filled by foreign workers with little education, this means improving your education system so that the average worker becomes the equivalent of the top 10% of Chinese workers.
Do you think the situation in the Rust Belt will be improved by reducing the rust belt to a third world nation? This is what you propose.
Actually, you would be surprised at how much 3g coverage there some spots in in the Middle East, or at least Edge network.
You'll also note that new wired networks are becoming more rare. No point in seeding exchanges and laying 100's of KM of copper for DSL or even land line phones when you just set up 3G towers. In many places in the 3rd/developing world it's cheaper and easier to deploy a cellular network then it is to try to establish a landline network. Especially as quality isn't as much of a concern. Africa is like this, even Asia once you get out of the big cities.
Rich countries like Japan, Sweden and Australia (provided Jesus Boy doesn't ruin it) can afford to lay out next gen fibre networks to houses. For poorer nations it's cheaper and easier to drop 3G towers everywhere then to roll out old copper networks and get the same net effect (phone and internet to the majority of people)

Now seriously, I'm not LOOKING for the perfect girl, I'm AVOIDING it;
You're doing it wrong
(I have NEVER had a girlfriend, EVER)
Erm, well maybe not.
Facebook for like 2 months constantly delivered every other ad as "DATE A COUGAR!" I'm also single
There's your problem, change your status to "It's complicated", "In a Relationship" or even "Widowed". Also under the basic information tab untick all boxes under "Interested In" and "Looking For".
Or you can use Adblock like the rest of us.
Personally I get ad's for "Find hot Asian women tonight". At first I took offence but then I realised I really am looking for hot Asian women, however the FB option is too expensive.
Actually, we all deserve to die and we're going to get what we deserve.
As far as Karma is concerned, it does not determine if you deserve to live or die, it determines whether you will be resurrected as a higher or lower form of life.
Ted Stevens being a politician should be on his way back up to a higher form of life, like a cockroach or maggot.
Out of curiosity, how does a Windows user gain access to the iPhone's file system? Is there even a removable storage card on an iPhone, or is the entire phone a USB mass storage device?
They dont. No MSC functionality what so ever. All communication with an Iphone is done through Itunes.
True, and if the Android were to move to a better file system than FAT32, that's probably the best way to do it
Android already uses a newer file system. The / is YAFFS2. Only/SDCARD is VFAT and this can be reformatted to EXT3 if the user wants. FAT32 is only there for compatibility with OS's that cant read EXT file systems
Great - go ahead and start by posting your SSN, home address, and full medical history. Then we'll talk about how much information "wants to be free"
First, you misunderstand that quote. It's about the struggle between information being valuable and information wanting to get out (as in those who have secrets want to keep them secret and everyone else wanting to find out, typically the latter force becomes more powerful hence the first part of it is often cut off).
Secondly, If he is having unprotected sex with multiple partners while infected with AIDS, would you lambaste the nurse who publishes his full medical history demanding that they should have kept this secret. This is basically what Wikileaks does. Wikileaks does not and should not publish every bit of secret information, only the bits that are contrary to our purpose as free nations (I.E. Mai Lai massacre is published, plans for Operation Rolling Thunder are not).
The War is killing people, not the information. Get it right.
If I ran into Assange right now, I'd kill him with my own bare hands. He's a traitor.
Not your call sunshine, Julian Assange is Australian and if I (an Australian) ran into him right now, I'd shake his hand and tell him he's got more guts then all the Nato generals combined.
Starting a war in Afghanistan got a lot of Afghani's killed. Including the ones mentioned by Wikileaks, failing to secure Afghanistan and going to Iraq made things worse. The failure here was not Assang's
The possibility of these sources being murdered? How about the actual fact of at least one Afghan tribal elder -- Khalifa Abdullah -- who was murdered because one E3 did not appreciate the actual risk to real life human beings from releasing these documents.
So...
An illegitimate secret must be maintained to protect warlords in a warzone.
Afghanistan is a warzone, whoever killed Khalifia Abdullah knew who the fuck he was and what the fuck he was doing long before it made it onto Wikileaks. Now thanks to Wikileaks all of us know why.
Would the world be a better place if everyone just shut the fuck up about the Mai Lai massacre and said "I have no idea where all these bodies came from"?
Cool. If I announce on a website some place that I'm paying I billion dollars to "buy" New Zealand, on condition that it is renamed Mordor, will I get onto the front page of slashdot?
As overlords, we the Commonwealth of Australia hear by accept your offer of one billion Australian dollars and no cents in exchange for the land of sheep shaggers.

Third world nations have a higher birth rate then first world nations. Higher birth rate means more sex.
Explain.

Higher birth rate means more sex.
More sex means less wealth.

Well that clears that one up.
Tell the lad's down in logistics to stop sending bullets, apparently we aren't fighting Afghani's any more.
They've heard. They are still in the process making your nation poorer so wages are lower then china.
