They text the questions to someone else while taking the test. That person who will take the test later then knows what the questions are.

I have the most secure passwords ever, but if a person hits me in a different spot with a hammer after each time I refuse to hand over the password, I'm going to quickly hand it over. They may not even get the first hit in before I blurt it out. Same thing would apply to a person's safe combination I'd imagine.

combination codes are the weakest link in bank vaults.

While this release is named Gingerbread, this is actually Android 2.3. The Android 3.0 release will be called Honeycomb and is where you should expect the bigger improvements.

People who are mean to cats should be very afraid.

This reminds me of the great piece called Money by Beau Sia.

"...When I get the money, I'm gonna have iced monkey brain in Madagascar with Uma Thurman and Spock, and me and Tarantino are gonna buy the bones of Bruce Lee and put them in a movie called THE BONES OF BRUCE LEE ARE ALIVE ... and I'm gonna be the Asian male hustler on the Real World on Mars, and I'm gonna do sold-out haiku poetry jams in Vegas! ... when I get the money, I'm gonna own MTV, and sure, money can't buy you love, but love can't buy you shit!"

If you don't want to be tracked:

On the internet run Tor with on a browser with ad block and no-script and turn off cookies. Don't use free products like Gmail. Modify this configuration for how much of a crippled internet you can stand.

Don't use a credit card. Credit card companies maintain profiles on your purchases.

Only user a prepaid phone that you paid for in cash. Phone companies know every person you've called and who's called you.

Stop using ATM's. They have cameras and your banking activity is logged.

Those Loyalty cards supermarkets and chain stored give you has the potential for abuse. Pay more for your food.

Local and Federal government agencies share personal information about you for administrative purposes. Perhaps you should consider which non compulsory entities (other than the IRS, etc) you interact with.

On my Android 2.2 (Froyo) Nexus One I watch all sorts of flash videos from all sorts of sites. Testing out the videos in the article, I don't see the problem. Oh, and guess what? I have the highest tier of Verizon FIOS. Same exact specs as the article.

My major gripe with Flash on Android is the difficulty in scrolling ahead. As many others have said, the controls don't work well. I can pause and play, but trying to get back to where I previously left off is a pain.

All in all, as a Nexus One user I'm satisfied with Flash. I just hope the interface gets better.

Burglar alarm sign => "They have expensive stuff, but we'll have to be quick!"

NRA Stickers => "They have guns, lets steal them guns!"

Once a thief sees you leave and knows your house is empty, they will break in if they want to. I suggest making it look like you don't have anything worth stealing.

These wallpaper apps cannot access your contact's phone numbers, SMS messages or personal information.

Check out the manifest permissions on the apps in question. It is the last item that is the problem.

!Storage
modify Delete

!Your location
coarse (network-based) location

!Network communication
full Internet access

!Phone calls
read phone state and identity

The permission only allow the app to read the IMEI number of your phone (your hardware's unique identifying number), your phone number, and your currently programmed voice-mail number. If you hard coded your voice-mail password as part of your voice-mail number, then they have that too.

They shouldn't be stealing this info, and Google should separate "read phone state" from "read identity", but the stories on this app stating that your SMS's, contacts and grandmother's girdle being stolen and sent to China just plain wrong.

We already have these in production. They're called taxi cabs.

With Android you can install any software you want. With Apple, all apps have to be approved an bought from an Apple App Store.

With Android you can choose from multiple Markets (Android app stores) or install applications directly yourself. That is the big difference.

Also, I have a Nexus One made by HTC. All HTC built phones do not have the e-Fuse BS that Motorola is pushing. If you are the type of person who wants to run custom non carrier produced builds of Android, but an HTC phone. This issue has nothing to with Android.

My bank sends me a text message whenever a transaction over a certain amount is processed on any account I choose, including my CC account. I rarely make purchases over $150.00, so for me setting it at that level is a great way of getting warning that something is up. This works great for ACH scams as well.

Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of displays in this country. The Sycraft-fu Mach3 was the display to own. Then the other guy came out with a 300 Pixel Per Inch display. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Mach3Turbo. That's 300 PPI and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened--the bastards went to 400 PPI. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling 300 PPI and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to 500 Pixels Per Inch.

Sure, we could go to 400 PPI next, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do. After all, three worked out pretty well, and four is the next number after three. So let's play it safe. Let's make a thicker aloe strip and call it the Mach3SuperTurbo. Why innovate when we can follow? Oh, I know why: Because we're a business, that's why!

You think it's crazy? It is crazy. But I don't give a shit. From now on, we're the ones who have the edge in the PPI game. Are they the best a man can get? Fuck, no. Sycraft-fu is the best a man can get.

What part of this don't you understand? If 200 PPI is good, and 300 PPI is better, obviously 500 PPI would make us the best fucking display that ever existed. Comprende? We didn't claw our way to the top of the display game by clinging to the 200 PPI industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, 500 PPI is the biggest chance of all.

Here's the report from Engineering. Someone put it in the bathroom: I want to wipe my ass with it. They don't tell me what to invent--I tell them. And I'm telling them to stick 200 more PPI in there. I don't care how. Make the Pixels so thin they're invisible. Put some on the stand. I don't care if they have to cram the 500th pixel in diagonally to the other four hundred, just do it!
