If you had you'd realize (a) it's not reading memory from another app, and (b) it's attacking by presenting a dialog box while another app is open, something that you cannot do in an iOS app store ap.

Wish I could mod parent "+1 Edgy"

If it wasn't so edgy, the suggestion to let the car companies decide for themselves would come off as ridiculous.

Are you suggesting simulators can't deal with multiple scenarios at the same time?

For AA batteries (yep, still the most widely used), I like Maha batteries and chargers. Have a number of AAs from 4 - 6 years ago still going strong.

For alkaline cells, Radio Shack has been an excellent source of decent brands over the years. Somebody in purchasing must actually look at what they sell. Better hurry though, it doesn't look like RS will be around much longer.

For camera batteries, I stick with OEMs, even the knockoffs sold at reputable stores like B&H and Adorama just don't work as well (at least for Nikons).

Amusingly enough, I've had good luck with cheapo Chinese knockoffs for my iPhones. Since battery life is crummy anyway, the bar doesn't appear to be all that high.

And for power tool batteries, I've used several different rebuild companies, all with good results. Compared to the unique shapes and sizes of laptops and cell phones, power tools seem to have standardized on generic cells and construction methods.

Even if built-in nav services in phone used much data at all (they do not) you could still buy any number of offline map apps that require no data use at all.

But it's really better to use a connected navigation program, that can route you around traffic as needed.

They charge $600 for that GPS system in the car and I'm sure Garmin, Tom Tom, Magellan, & Nokia are lobbying to keep their turf safe.

Garmin & TomTom already make (expensive) navigation apps, so they really shouldn't care about the revenue source changing.

It's the car makers that get most of the cash from those way expensive in-car GPS systems (which are invariably horrible compared to the most modest GPS app).

Releasing the hostages for any amount of money would at the very least decry to the world that America loves and honors life

What good is helping one to hurt thousands. That is not valuing life at all.

It says exactly the opposite, that America cares so little for anyone's life that they are willing to encourage more kidnappings.

The true way to value a life is to say its worth is without measure, so you cannot demand money for it.

I'm not sure why we can't have nice things^Hboth.

It's not hard to make a device compatible with USB mass storage. It doesn't even have to be a top menu choice. Just bury it in settings under 'Advanced' and savior the irony.

The people using the word "denialists" are not scientists. That's the point, once you go there you have stopped using science and have firmly planted both feet into the realm of "religion". Even if you started with Science...

I, like all rational people, respect science and scientists when they remain dedicated to the pursuit of truth, even to the point they can admit a theory was incorrect.

But many of your alarmists have not watched Frozen enough to get the message. Let It Go.

No, what religions do is torture and murder heretics...

And prevent their papers from being published in scientific journals.

You know what is even more similar to what religions do? Using a term like "heretics" - only your variant is called "denialists". Yes, religions have been using that trick for hundreds of years to escape questions.

Another way you can tell you are part of a cult is when your high priests are telling you to sacrifice something while they live in comfort and plenty.

I guess really though, we should say what you are involved in it far closer to scientology, with adjusted core sample data replacing e-meters...

haha just like my stovetop burner only affects the temperature of a few millimeters of water on the bottom of the pot

That is far more an example of the effect the sun has on the water than the atmosphere.

If you go into a shallow lake is it the same as ambient air temperature...

Put a few miles of water above your pot and see how far it gets when you turn on the heat below..

I have no killfile because I believe in hearing what other people think.

Like all denialists you cover your ears and go LA LA LA when confronted with heresy to your chosen brands of religion.

It's sad really, that an otherwise intelligent individual can let himself go in a kind of self-imposed Alzheimer's.

The bioluminescent denizens of the deep would like you to step down so as have a chat with you.

The real denialists are, and always have been, the ones who think science is never to be questioned.

You are more the zealot than anyone who ever came out of Bob Roberts U.

It will be nice a decade or two hence when it is undeniable just how far you have allowed yourself to be duped (well actually it is the case now, but even you will admit it in 20 years).
