2nd in a few months vs thousands in a single release. Yeah... I wonder why there's not so much indignation toward Linux right now. It's either got to do with volume, as I just implied, or, maybe, the fact that neither this, nor Heartbleed, were Linux bugs.

2 months in the wilderness, hiking so you're packing light. Solar charger strapped to the back of your pack provides enough juice during the day to keep your phone charged. Hoe many photos might one take in 2 months? How much video? microSD cards are lightweight enough that you can carry a few TB with you if you so choose.

A laptop is ruled out by both its weight and power requirements, while uploading to a cloud provider as you go is ruled out by the fact that it's the middle of the fucking wilderness and you probably don't have signal. Sometimes, you just have to realize that, despite its drawbacks, the only available solution has to be considered as the perfect solution. In this case, it's a microSD slot in your phone.

Then post it?

And what of plastic bottles? You seem to not want to acknowledge that point. Why?

My M7 has been rock-freakin-solid, my best friend and my boss both have the M8 and theirs seem pretty solid as well

If this as much of a problem with the HTC One models? Both the M7 and the M8. I don't think it is, and they're both aluminum bodies, as well.

So you're saying the phone was already bent from the factory and the RDF was making it appear straight?

Well, there's Wave Charging... that should also fix this issue. I mean, once the phone's fried, you don't care anymore that it's also bent.

I keep my iPad Air in a shockproof case, not because I drop it a lot (though, there was that one time), but because it's just too damn thin to hold comfortably IMO. But, then, how thin it was wasn't a selling point for me; thankfully, neither was the flashiness of "oh, hey look! An APPLE LOGO!" as I bought it knowing that I'd need to put it in a case.

Plastic bottles ceased to exist between when I mentioned them and when you posted your reply? It also seems you failed to click the link in my post; had the can in that video not partially melted and leaked, pressure would have build up until it ruptured.

Anyone using Wave Charging *did* buy a brick with the Apple logo on it.

Indeed, it all comes down to the size of the hole you're sticking it in and how much pain you can tolerate. Oddly, I'm still referring to phones and pockets, here.

A bottle? Maybe, if the bottle is aluminum or steel. If it's glass or plastic, you're up a creek, though. Given enough time, you're up a creek with a can, as well, as the can will absorb the energy and heat itself, so, while you may not heat the contents of the can directly, they will absorb heat from the can itself.

Maybe your school's microwave was broken.

I don't need to understand it, I don't manage out Yelp presence; it's not my company, I'm just a developer there.

That's great if you only want to sync a few files to a few specific locations, but it's nice to be able to fully manage the device, which Air Droid lets you do. Perhaps a combination of the two methods would provide the best of both worlds?

Thanks for the tip, though, I was not aware of Bittorrent Sync!

Air Droid is an awesome (free) app, used in local mode and without an account. Definitely check it out, it's made using HTC sync manager so much easier (by making it unnecessary).
