Reporting a phone stolen when you actually sold it should be a felony on the same level as stealing the phone to begin with.

Malicious kill switch activation is only a problem if Apple charges you $100 to "repair" it.

Well, Apple?

Ahhh, the ongoing march of hard endpoint outcomes analysis daggers another belief.

Niacin, various vitamins absent particular diagnosed deficiencies, multivitamins, guess what? Chicken butt. No difference in long term outcomes.

My only concern is certain possibly beneficial heart drugs were abandoned in phase iii stidies because they slightly increased death rates. There could be benefit there for subpopulations if the deaths cluster about some physiology type, which maybe could be pre-tested for, or monitored closely.

I don't see how this could be legal -- a video stream would be copyrighted, and inserting extra ads (to say nothing of overwriting some) could indeed be violating a copyright on the assembled data stream as a work.

So, too, altering a web page to add ads not actually there. This is different from a browser with a reserved area outside the site frame, for ads, or a preview page serving an ad before showing you the site.

Do not teach your grammar how to suck eggs.

Believe it.

You should see what this cable does for porn!

You'd be surprised what a free people will do once oppressive government is removed from their backs.

I went to Jamaica in 2001, and all those poor, poor Jamaicans running the tourist nick nack stalls had cell phones.

A free people will bust ass to acquire the good stuff. How patronizing are many posts in this thread, suggesting this is a bad thing.

What it really suggests is an overbearing government is bad for many reasons, and that there's a hell of a lot more to freedom than freedom of speech.

"Windows 8 suxxxxxxs, what to do?"

"Windows 8.1 as a stopgap. And rush Windows 9 into production."

"No, we need to give the perception of totally abandoning 8. Skip 9 and call it 10."

"Might not be far enough. How about 360 like X-Box? Release in 2016."

"Nah sounds like a toy. How about Windows 365 -- The everyday computer for the everyman?"

"Everyperson."

"Ok, do it."

2016 rolls around. $2 billion in ads come out.

"Microsoft proudly introduces Windows 365! The everyday computer for the everyperson!"

"Oh my god."

"What?"

"2016 is a leap year."

There's clearly a market for tractors and equipment, no matter how modern and complex, to be easily and cheaply field-repairable by farmers, and most especially, quickly.

I wonder if it will happen.

The Supreme Court has migrated base rights into new areas of technology in the past:

- Freedom of the press doesn't mean literally a printing press anymore, control of which was a back door way of controlling speech even if there was no direct censorship.

- The SC ruled infrared scanners that passively looked through walls required a warrant, as the founding fathers, and Americans' expectations, were such that an area was secure from warrantless examination.

As Americans move more of their life into the online virtual world, they carry with them the same expectation of privacy from warrantless search. The Supreme Court should overturn the outdated loophole that is from the telephone days, that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in data held by 3rd parties.

Well, no, everybody has that expectation. The King of England would have abused it, and warrant requirements would have been included in the Constitution.

The idea has been floated in the US before. It would probably fail at the Supreme Court level as freedom of speech includes the right to speak anonymously.

See, when hacking off Linux lovers, anon is coward. When in these other countries, anon is brave.

Still, if you remain reasonably cogent, it would be sweet to run around at 100 in a 20 year old body. Youth no longer wasted on thee young, imagine the perverted fucking you'll do -- Dr. Seuss

"Hi."

"Hello."

"What's your name?"

"Buffy."

"I'm Devilus. Say, do you play Magic: The Gathering?"

"Ha god no!"

"Uhhh, I have to go, bye. (To self) looks like it's you and me, again, Rosie, for the 347,891st time. Sigh."

It's my understanding the brain does not work that way. Although it grows new stuff to learn, those cells are basically it, and those cells just start wearing out.

Assuming the wildest success for telomere lengthening for every other cell and organ in your body, and you'll still be a drooling idiot at 150.

Alls I knows is I like the idea of the Old Planet trying to control the New Planet for its own benefit!

Hmmm, "planet" sounds clumsy. Maybe "world".

Hehe, the denoument of The Maple Syrup War, in the first part of Live Free or Die by John Ringo.
