There is a good chance that she may not have had a data connection, or that sync was taking some time, and that it didn't upload to Facebook until that time. I guess that would depend on if Facebook timestamps it itself or if it takes the timestamp from the phone. I would assume, in order to keep it reliable, that it would timestamp it itself when received, or else anyone could set a timestamp for themselves and call it an alibi.

It'd be nice if I could reply to everybody who replied to the parent but I think we are still missing the point. It's not just sort by first/last name, I'd rather sort by any piece of information in it, especially, get this, Nickname. There isn't even an option to display the nickname, you have to do your own hack and just use first name for their nicknames and then put their first name in the nickname slot in order to have it work. t's good to know somebody's name is Eugene, but if they like to go by Flynn Ryder then I would hope I could get that to be displayed. I'm running Android Gingerbread right now and it still has that same problem. Seems that with all the other things that they have updated the contact list is the last on their list of things to do.

Yeah, I'd like to see how deep we can get this reply to go.

I live in Taiwan, and at any exam that I have ever attended there is one simple rule. If your cellphone even as much as vibrates while you are taking a test you are disqualified at that moment. We are told this beforehand and are recommended to turn off our cellphones.

When I worked at UPS I remember my foot going through a Dell package, they had pretty sturdy boxes, just not a match for my steeled toed boots...

I flew on an international flight and transfered in LA to go to PDX. When I got home, I opened up my carry on bag and found a box cutter sitting in the front pouch. So much for security.

I'd think of it like a boiler. When it's not under a lot of pressure there is no movement, but when the pressure gets higher it begins to shake, and when it's about to blow it shakes more violently. Similar to volcanoes I suppose. IANAG

I would guess that the editor probably used spell check and noticed that everything was spelled wrong and corrected the "misspelled words". It was probably just another one of /.'s attempt at pretending to edit articles and failing.

I believe you were probably thinking of his omniscience, being all powerful doesn't really take away the possibility of free will, where being all knowing might. James Talmage, in Jesus the Christ, I believe had a very good explanation of the omniscience of God:

I once heard an explanation that makes sense. It's like seeing millions of paths, as time goes by some paths fade away and new ones unfold.

Just be careful when messing with iptables, you might have to make a jtag cable if you accidently set all the policies to DROP by default and then decide to clear the table, including the established connections bit, while logged in and brick your router. Good thing as a geek/hacker I wouldn't give up and spent the $5 to make the jtag cable and rescue my router.

They might even be able to type up some Shakespeare...

Am I the only one who thought of Mr. Clippy when I read this?

P.S.
If the quote is messed up it's because for some reason /. has disabled my ability to cut and paste.

"I'll be there tomorrow, bastard just cut me off, around 6pm, crap learn to drive, at the bookstore, not another old lady driving, don't forget to bring, freakin' a get ahead or drop back, the xbox game you borrowed last, holy crap I can't believe this, week. Send"

As was stated earlier, those ports should just be closed to begin with. The only thing it really does is prevent outgoing traffic. As long as the ports are not open there is nothing on the outside that can open the ports. The way things would get infected would be by traveling through a port that is already open on all systems, thus a firewall is useless because that port already allows traffic and there would be a corresponding rule in the firewall to allow this traffic. Unless you are doing packet inspections for viral traffic it's not going to prevent it.
