"I don't believe in the existence of God" is not the same as "I believe in the non-existence of God". The same way that "I don't know it is" is not the same as "I know it isn't". It depends on where you put the negation, either on the verb, or on the noun. If you negate the verb, you are assuming no position. If you negate the noun, you are taking a side.

Contrary to what the author in that link wrote, there is such a thing as agnosticism, and she is one.

Something like this.

What you just described above sounds more like agnosticism.

I heard they do this to lower the royalties they have to give to the actors.

I for one don't know whom to cheer for.

Now if they would just all ping the Great Firewall of China to death at the same time, they could make history in being the first to stage, and hopefully win, an e-revolution.

Would be great to have other things flying over the fake sky, like birds, planes, pterodactyls, Superman, and UFOs, to make things even more interesting.

From TFA: "... because the USPTO focuses much more on "prior art" (i.e., "is this new?" rather than, "is this obvious?") all sorts of obvious stuff gets patented."

I couldn't agree more.

I have this on my HTC Android phone too. It's a widget called Fake Call. You select a person in your phone book who will fake-call you, then the number of minutes of delay (from 0 to 10 minutes) before you get the call. It would be nice if this could be scheduled at a specific time.

...I wonder if there's a Hall of Anonymous Justice.

I have a feeling the iPhone-wielding AT&T users will just eat up whatever extra bandwidth AT&T gets from T-Mobile, so the service, in the eyes of T-Mobile customers, will be worse. In the eyes of AT&T users, the service will be "slightly less unusable" (an upgrade from "unusable").

I travel for work and have a GSM phone which works in most countries I go to. Since I go to the US a lot, I got myself a prepaid AT&T SIM card many years ago and used that when I was in the US. In my last few visits however, I experienced so many annoying issues with the service (e.g. bad sound, dropped calls, dead spots even in the middle of big cities) that I decided to switch to T-Mobile prepaid in my next visit. Now this. *facepalm* This AT&T/T-Mobile merger will bring about a GSM service monopoly in the US which is bad news for us international travellers.

I will know if the other end of the cable is connected to a PC/laptop if get this popup window asking whether to just charge my device only, or to do some sort of sharing. Default setting is "charge only". At least this is how my old Symbian-based and my current Android-based smartphone behave. I haven't heard of a case yet where this was circumvented.

How will you get a virus by charging your phone?

My money is on the EU being there even after 2 years. The debt problems in the PIGS countries are euro issues that could lead to a breakup of the currency, but the EU is not the €. In the extremely unlikely case that the EU splits, France and Germany will still be on the same side.

EU rules will most likely prohibit such a thing from happening.
