You are on roaming data and you have not turned on "only download on wife"?

Hummm since that book is considered mature content I would say that it is not really the same thing.
What if they gave you a copy of The Hunger Games for free might be closer.

Funny that Tyler The Creator is complaining about his free U2 album and calling it an STD.

From the Wikipedia.
"Tyler has been criticized for his use of homophobic slurs, in particular, his frequent use of the epithet faggot in his lyrics and on Twitter.[31][32] He has denied accusations of homophobia, stating, "I'm not homophobic. I just say faggot and use gay as an adjective to describe stupid shit,"[33][34] and, "I'm not homophobic. I just think faggot hits and hurts people.""
And
"Tyler has also been criticized for his graphic depictions of violence against women and his misogynistic lyrics.[39][40] Brent DiCrescenzo of Time Out Chicago writes that rape is a "predominant theme" of Goblin[41] and Hermione Hoby of The Guardian writes that Tyler's "rape and murder fantasies (are) graphic enough to send the vomit rising along with the bile."[42]"
It kind of goes on and on.
Frankly this guy hating on U2 is like having the Grand Dragon of the KKK saying that he hates you for your stand on race relations.

Because the ISPs already have used "Big-Government" to get paid for rolling out "broadband" service, preventing muni ISPs, and any number of other regulations that benefit them.

You worry about big government but we pretty much already have all the worst parts of government regulation with none of the benefits.

It was a typo/brain fart. I though it was the American Amateur Radio, I remebered it was the ARRL right after I hit the post button.

Except that if you hurt yourself you are not breaking the law.
There are lots of safety rules. You have to obey the regulations.

I am not just talking about Amature radio but FCC licensing. That includes TV, Radio, Public service bands, HAM, and even wifi. The power regulations and frequency regulations are mostly in place to keep you from stomping on everyone else. AARL has a special relationship with the FCC that allows them to do testing and have a large voice in setting the rules for HAMs. But HAMs are a small section of licensed users.
Frankly AARL works on the notion that someone that makes the effort to study and pass the tests will not do anything hyper stupid like highjacking a TV stations band. Frankly much like the EAA the AARL seems to do a good job with keeping the dangerous idiots out.
But what I said stands. The licensing is about interference. If you hurt yourself you will not get a visit from FCC but if you interfere with someone else you could get a visit from the FCC

The key would be how many places had mag strip first. Brazil is moving faster now than 10 years ago.

or smoothwall or moonwall.

That is what the person I was replying to claimed. You can replace baseload with Wind with natural gas peaking plants but I think Nuclear is a better long term source.

Microsoft has a shot if they do not destroy Nokia. I flat out think that Nokia makes the best looking phone. LG, Samsung, and Apple all use great displays, Android has the best feature set, Nokia the best camera,Motorola has the Motovoice feature that I really want, and Apple has great stability and battery life.
Windows Phone 8.1 actually looks pretty good now.
For me the perfect phone would be a Nokia with the screen from the G3 running Android with Motovoice.
Others would have a different prefect phone.

25 million people in Australia.
313 million people in the US.
It takes a while longer to roll out big changes like that. I have had a chip and pin card for over a year but not every location can take it.

Funny but I have actually written an IOS app and it is in the app store. I have a mac and I love it. This rev of the iphone has bigger screens... Like Android phones. NFC like Android phones. As to the rest of the statement... You do know that the Apple app store was the original home of the fart app...

IOS is fine for people that like it. I find it too restrictive and dull for my tastes but it is good OS and the phones are good hardware. They are just not worth the worship that heaped on them.

Why is Google better than Apple?
Simple, Compare an IOS phone with all the Google apps removed to an Android phone without any Apple apps.

NFC is cool and boy did people think it was neat when I paid for something at the 7-11 with my Galaxy Nexus a few years ago. You are right that it might finally take off in the US now that Apple is doing it. They are even following the standards so they can use the existing NFC machines at Walgreens, 7-11, and McDonald's. It is really not innovative but an example of the clout that Apple has with the carriers.

Yes but you will break no law if you burn yourself. The regulations are all about interference.

So when is the new Nexus coming out?

Over all I found the 6 to be a lack luster announcement. Nothing really new was announced.
