You don't need a data plan to use android market; it works fine on wifi. Just saying.
Though using an android without that is really missing the point. A pay-as-you-go data plan isn't that expensive, is it?

Ireland is supposed to have shitty internet connections (thanks mainly to the incumbent, Eircom) - so nowadays, I'm sitting on a fiber-optic 30/3 line.
Which is still terrible compared to what I had in Norway a month ago, but I can live with it.
Hardly. Quantum mechanics isn't non-deterministic at all; that's a common misconception. I won't go into the details here; you can read this if you want the details.
No, it's ridiculously lucrative behaviour.
You think Telstra would actually *do* that?
What does their history show?
And peak oil? That was a few years back, though thanks to the financial crisis it hasn't had much effect on oil prices yet.
Oh boy, will this be fun.
Over here in Norway, I've got a pay-as-you-go phone; zero subscription costs, but I pay for usage. Ignoring voice for the moment, that's at a rate of 10 øre (roughly 0.0165 US dollars) per MB of traffic. There are, of course, no caps; that would be silly.
How does this chalk up to what you get elsewhere?
The laws themselves are deterministic, though..
I wonder if Einstein would have been satisfied with MWI.
For the first, it's a gradual process that's frankly more metaphorical than physical. There's no sudden jolt of any kind, and the usual laws of geometry stay in effect. Mostly.
For the second, um.. well, you wouldn't get blasted apart by radiation *circling* the black hole, as there essentially is none. Good enough?
Unison does a better job, in that it checks for changes while it's running and can be configured to retry until there are none. However, it can still be tripped up by changes that touch multiple files; it doesn't give an atomic snapshot either.
In practice, though, it's never failed in giving me working backups.
Your philosophical position would be wrong. Nothing particularly unusual happens at the event horizon, from the POV of someone falling through it. Well, communicating with the outside world does become impossible, but mass doesn't suddenly turn into energy or anything.
What happens later is a somewhat different story. The event horizon also marks the point at which gravitational twisting has switched one of the spatial dimensions (specifically, the one with an axis going through you and the singularity) and [i]time[/i]. You can't escape, because that would require going back in time.
Unfortunately, this also means that absolutely any acceleration you do means you hit the singularity sooner. Remember time dilation? Right. Keep those thrusters off, and you'll live slightly longer.
Germ theory is medical science. We didn't magically understand that there was such a thing as "contaminated water"; we had to learn that.
That's why I always say "evening", no matter the time of day!
Speaking as a former teenager..
If you had swerved like that while I was in the car, then - assuming we survived - once we stopped, I would have punched you as hard as I could, preferably on the nose. Then I would have called the police, explained the situation, and made sure your license was taken away.
Not all teenagers are so eager to get killed, moron.
If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some.
