When you install an app that is able to send SMSs, you have to click on a dialog that says "you allow this app to send SMSs". It does the same with a variety of stuff, from internet access to GPS use. So I wouldn't call it exactly "unsolicited".
I think people that download stuff from shady Internet sites and install them on their phones deserve other names. Here's a short list: stupid, ignorant, irresponsible and dumb.
If you earn $150.000 and think that paying $10.000 in taxes is too much for you, then you are a greedy bastard. We are in this situation because of people like you. Congratulations, enjoy the future you deserve.
I'm not arguing about the present differences between US and Egypt. I'm warning about possible similarities in the (relatively) near future, and the use of the word "Never".
At some point in time, Egypt itself was the biggest civilization known to man, much like the US has been. And it was one of the World Powers for more than 2000 years. The US total existence, in contrast, barely lasts 250 years.
The proportion of people with "somewhat decent lives" in the US is diminishing, while the differences between the rich and the poor increase. If that tendency continues, "never" can be really a short-term period, historically speaking. "This century" short.
It would be very nice if the US went all 'Iceland' on itself instead of going 'Egypt'.
Others are saying thar the law makes this "unburyable". I'd argue that, from a Lawer's point of view (by the way: IANAL), something put on the EULA or terms and conditions is not "buried". It's explicit. As in, written there. Even if you normally don't read it, those guys do. And those guys are the ones that send cease-and-desist letters; they are the only ones that matter.
So, in my humble opinion, the OP is right; putting it on the EULA or whatever will be good enough.
"I realize that you're railing about video game characters as not notable, but in the process you mentioned some of the most iconic female characters (outside perhaps of Princess Toadstool?;)) in gaming history."
I didn't read Sarah Kerrigan so you comment is invalid.

If we don't trust robot cars, we shouldn't trust robot elevators.
I don't think you do. That's why my post begins with "if", like yours did.
I'm just wondering. If "everything in your power" included destroying families, or getting people killed, would you still do it?

I mostly agree with all this. I just wish you guys end up like Iceland, and not like Egypt.
Yeah. A big meteorite could fall on top of Fukushima.
Title says it all.
Dexter.

Hard cash.
It depends on how you define "never".
At some point in time, Egypt itself was the biggest civilization known to man, much like the US has been. And it was one of the World Powers for more than 2000 years. The US total existence, in contrast, barely lasts 250 years.

They are waiting for the Karma from Pearl Harbour to strike him instead.
I'd argue that US =/= Utah times 50 (fortunately for US)
And Estonia is a great place, you should visit it.
The invisible hand is just another religion.

You want me to fix your computer?
Allright.
But you will have to cook a paella for me. Dressed like chicken. Even if it's late at night.
No, really. You own me a favor.

They also make *wrong* decisions easier.

I think you are SchuminWeb's Puppet. Sock or Meat, I haven't decided yet.
Why are you asking me that? Did you intend to replace "Context" with some actual context and forgot?
Apple. You hardly can get more generic than that.
I have tried others (CentOS, Debian, Gentoo) and I still prefer Ubuntu.
