A piece of software will be installed in order to verify the removal of Carrier IQ. This software will remain on the phone to ensure it's never installed again by sending the currently installed software data to the Sprint. Problem solved!

Some poster called me a crazy conservative, foxnews lovin, right wing republican. I have a right to be free from harassment so that's grounds for deletion. Expect to hear from my lawyers soon Slashdot. Have a nice day.

No doors. When I run my business I want my employees to be ahead of the game. Everything will be open to everyone all the time. There will be no 4 sided objects or anything that even resemble a doorway in fact. My employees will be the best! On an unrelated note, anyone know of an open field for sale in Kansas?

500 tons = 453 592.37 kilograms 1 kilogram rice = 2.75 grams proteins (0.00275 kilograms) That means we will need 164,942,680 kilograms (363,636,364 pounds) of this rice to support the current need. With these odds 0.80% worst case is a bit scary... I do find it cool that they've been able to do this but the extraction ratio will need to be more efficient and, dare I say, safer before it becomes useful.

People will believe anything on theonion.com these days. Don't they know that newer wind farms are placed in opposing directions of the current strongest wind forces thus canceling out any effects!?
