Actually, scratch that--it looks like AT&T removed that option. However, a.) that's AT&T being a shitty carrier, and not the fault of Android; and b.) there's a way around it already.

You need to read different forums. Go to Settings, then Applications, and check the setting that says "Allow install of non-Market applications". Done. No root necessary.

You might want to do some research before you start casually using the term "bug chasers". Hint: it already has a meaning, and it's almost certainly not what you think it is.
> One of the morning messages could be "having a morning coffee with satan" and late night message could be "man do I appreciate cold beer right now".
I've had sort of the same idea, only mine is an IM bot that will occasionally fire off messages to my friends at 3 AM saying things like "Look behind you" or "HE COMES".
> the state ought not to assume that I want to give away my body parts without confirmation of this wish.

> But where's the plagiarism? As far as I can tell the papers are original.
Yes, original papers...that people are then buying and passing off as their own work.

The contents of my basement are nobody else's business.
> You pick up on a slightly misdirected interpunctuation (semicolon or even a colon would have been fine) but ignore the glaring grammar errors?
Not so much "ignore" as "refrain from correcting in disgust". I'm only dedicated to drive-by snark to a point.

> The Clink Prison Museum
Avoid this. I was in London earlier this year (half-vacation, half-work; I was doing some stuff for my master's degree), and stopped by the Clink. It's basically several rooms full of mannequins in replica torture devices and a few small, sad plaques with information you could find on Wikipedia. It definitely wasn't worth the money, even after the student discount.
The internet doesn't weigh anything.

Sit playing it long enough, and a scantily-clad woman will come up to you and offer you free drinks?
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
