This was one of many things they did. The phone was part of many things (the way they treated the kids, my wife, etc. When my son died due to birth defects, my father in law said that on the plus side, I no longer had a defective kid. When my wife had her stroke, they told my daughter it was her fault for getting bad grades.) The phone was mentioned solo because the rest wasn't relevant
As I posted below, it helped us weed them out of our lives.
When my wife died, it made it easy for me to justify to myself that it was ok to leave that info as a voicemail for them which was helpful since so much was going on by then and it was hard to stay focused on anything
It was damn annoying since it made the phone only useful for them
Yeah, it's so damn annoying when other people live their lives the way they want to and don't make themselves available to you on a whim, 24/7.
Seriously, who should the phone be useful to if not them? You sound outraged that they're doing what they want, the way they want.
It was more that they expected us to answer our cell phones when they needed us but left their phones off so they couldn't be reached if they were needed.
Outrage is a bit strong especially and it helped me make the case that my wife's parents where just users of us and made it easier for me to have her eventually drop them from our lives.
I know people (my old in-laws for example) that only turned on their cell phone when they needed to make a call. After that, they turned it back off to save the battery. It was damn annoying since it made the phone only useful for them.
But they are an example of not knowing their phone wouldn't boot until they needed it.
As someone who lives in a captive Windstream area, I can tell you that 75 minutes of outage would be GREAT! We regularly have outages that last for over a day!! Of course, here in Conservativia-land, any discussion of using the Gummint to force Windstream to allow competing ISPs to use the existing copper plant won't even get started, despite the suffering that local businesses go through over the outages.
I live in a blue city and have the same problem. You are naive in thinking that just because the democrats patronize you, that means they are in bed just as much - and a lot of times more - than the conservatives.
And... does that mean that by extrapolation, we have to expect a lot of US people that are going to flood Europe when they get repatriated by the natives?
Sure if the natives take over the country and chose that.
Countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Quatar? They're funding extrimism in our own backyards by paying for the institutional buildings to spread that type of hate.
You could almost say that the oil industry is really to blame. We've got a 60 year history of destabilizing a region where this mad ideology originates and then funding (and arming) their dictators. Oil industry and banksters have wrought this upon us. And a family named, "Rothschild"
We'll never deal with terrorism until we deal with that and the fallout from Balfour.
Very true. It was such a stable and peaceful place before/sarcasm
For all his faults, Newt accepts climate change and calls for "green conservativism", has good attitudes on minorities and women's rights (defended those and a potential woman president in an Ali G interview), and supports a base on the moon and a flight to Mars. What more can one ask for.
If this was enough to change your support from Trump (without even knowing who Hillary is going to pick), then a breeze would have had the same effect.
I'm going to start a business with an impossible plan, then, after I've gotten millions in capital, I'll announce that the company is something else, get my sock puppet and sell dog food over the internet.
Well, at least you can look forward to our next president not being Donald Trump.
Are you kidding? Donald Trump has no money, no campaign staff in the battleground states, and the electoral map is stacked against him. The Republicans can kiss the White House, Senate, and maybe the House, goodbye.
First off - you are agreeing with the poster above. Second, it's funny how the democrats complain about money in politics yet they are the biggest recipients from unions, businesses, and now international entities.
Well fortunately, these robots can't tased or detain anyone but to answer your question it should be like anything else. Robot harms me or crashes into my car. I sue the person that rented the robot and whose property I had my car parked at. They can turn around and sue the robot company if they want but I have no written or implied contracted between myself and the robot company.
Most companies for you to change passwords at least every 90 days so the myspace password would be obsolete by now. They also don't usually register your corporate account with your home email.
Any company that is not forcing password changes and use their users home email as a login name are probably not going to run the test you suggested.
and a big fuck you to the people of america for flocking to those in droves and making this happen.
http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/franchise/Star-Trek#tab=summary Not sure why you threw that in there. Even if not a single person of America saw it, the last two still made almost triple their budget.
I have one too and love it but it's been discontinued.
I'm looking at the shield when it drops in price. Also watching the comments for a different android tv suggestion. (I like the ease of use and kodi works well as a home screen)
Yeah, that late 90s economy was horrible and balancing the budget was even worse. Yeah, those Clintons really are disastrous compared to the GOP budgets of 00, and the GOP economy of 2007, combined with all of the quick military excursions and getting OBL that W/GOP did.
I can see why you GOP types are always AC anymore. Spineless like your leaders.
For the 90's, that's because of the Republican Congress. Clinton was against it and even shut the government instead of signing the budget bill the first time around.
Also, while they are less publicized, Obama has been getting us into a lot of "quick military excursions." I have a lot f friends dropping out of the Guard just for that that reason alone.
She is amazingly quick to tailor promises based on who she is talking to. The tech community should be aware of this.
Some big examples would be gay marriage, TPA, patriot act, Iraq War, etc.
Yes, I know all politicians lie. I am just annoyed that people believe things that Hillary say means something.
On a tech site, we are cheering someone's tech platform whose tech level is so low that her defenders say we should not expect Hillary to be able to manage two separate email accounts.

The same can be said about Christianity.
That's easy to show as false. Compare "Christian" countries to Muslim ones.
OK. I'm not conveying myself correctly.

Would it connect to Google or Samsung/Moto/HTC, etc?

That is great! I really want to steal that and post it on my facebook.
If I hadn't already marked you as a friend so your posts would stand out, I'd be marking you now.

There are usually fridge cases that we don't list out when posting.
I was guessing someone was going to make that point - thought it would be the poster, but hey, hi.
But you realize based on the last presidential election, there is a 98.3% chance he is voting either democrat or republican?

You should! It really is that easy!!

Cool. Guess that solves this problem and we will be back to human guards

Yep - I guess cities and governments are just as evil as corps! They want to make a profit!! OMG.. What can save us now?

I was always annoyed when I had programmed something to record, got home, and saw the flashing numbers.
It would have been handy to be able to turn off my note 5 after I accidentally dropped it in the water while waiting for it to dry.
Instead, I have a phone that I have to press the home and power button about 20 times to even have a shot at the screen coming on.
