Nice feature if you are in a train or on a bus.
If you have GPS you can detect whether the device is on a highway or road
And how long do you think it would take for sites to appear with hacks for every phone to disable this?
That doesn't affect Joe Sixpack who couldn't jailbreak his iPhone by going to jailbreakme.com and touching the button, much less use such a hack.
it's arguably more retarded. however, both ideas are extremely retarded, so it's not even worth arguing.
Actually it's not since the phone's self-disabling could itself be disabled if the user is trying to call an emergency number (911 isn't the only such number).
So the best thing they could do for secuity is have a fast low impact search that screens most reasonable threats (x-ray bagage and any bulky/loos fitting coats should do, maybe a meatal detector, and a chemical bomb sniffer) and doesn't generate large crouds of people waiting.
That's funny, the TSA has basically said they have no idea how to deal with that problem... well, I'm sure we can trust these unelected TSA officials, they must know exactly what they're doing!
RTFA, that doesn't match the description of what was happening at all.
Let the Streisand effect begin!
I thought matter/antimatter represents a different symmetry to time reversal?
Actually, it doesn't, believe it or not!

Captain Jean-Luc Picard, of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise.
RTFS "reasonably young".
YES, Picard IS epic-awesome, but he doesn't fit the criteria.
No, it's not the equal protection clause that forces the states to comply with the Bill of Rights. The framers of the 14th amendment intended it to be the privileges and immunities clause. Unfortunately SCOTUS neutered this clause over a hundred years ago and instead opted to incorporate the Bill of Rights piece by piece against the states through the due process clause.
Interestingly enough, Clarence Thomas recently "revived" the clause.
ObTopic: Did we really expect the MPAA, of all people, to say anything other than this?
But there would be Peace on Earth!
My biggest problem with Wikipedia is the direct source of stories like this. It's become a little pool and everyone is trying to be the biggest fish, for two reasons: First, that way they can create their own little kingdom of articles which they've "adopted", bullying people into a consensus which matches their own ideals/agenda. Second, they just want to feel important.
I should sleep now, it's after midnight, but Duty Calls.
Your ADD isn't my problem.
Don't whine about how I'm being "biased" or "not thoughtful" or something, I have ADD (either that or they let me have a Schedule 2 substance for no good reason whatsoever (don't start)).
I disagree with the author of that page. He (she?) says that (unencrypted) email is like real mail. This is not true. Email is like post cards: there is not the slightest barrier to prevent people from reading it (no envelope). If you want privacy, the very least you can do is ROT-13 it.
Do some weird chroot-fu, or maybe it would be easier to just live with it?
What about Linux? Flash on Linux sucks and this is entirely Adobe's fault.
