I'm no expert, but I've been on a custom rom and love having the less carrier ware crap. My next phone will probably be carrier free.

My initial thought is the only way to support channels not considered high demand. Is there really enough demand to sustain MTV and whatever idiocracy they pass off as entertainment?

The other side of the coin would be a bundle like NBC and NBC Sports Network.

Similar up here for me. I'll sooner pay the broadband monopoly over the nickel and diming charges that go for cable service.

You want HD service, you have to pay the higher DVR rental fee for it.

But what if I don't want DVR? Sucks to be you.

Can I have DVR without HD? No.

Can I have the HD package without all the other fluff packages? No.

Can I connect a personal recorder without the cable box? No.

F-U!

Seeing as how it was Robin Thicke, I think he owes the estate just for making a mockery of music. Then again, I think he owes us all for being a mockery of an entertainer.

On the other hand, i can count to potato...

Actually the irony is if the email server is in fact super duper turned up to 11 secure for someone of ex-Presidency and Sec of State, wouldn't it be expected that the wiping of data is essentially as gone as it gets?

On the other hand, if any data is recoverable, then it really means that the super duper turned up to 11 secure for someone of ex-Presidency and Sec of State was not as secure as they thought it was.

Duh... Average people don't care about IT infrastructure. Unless Twitter or Facebook or whatever socially active app they use that makes them an all knowing IT expert go down.

People don't care about the boring mundane routine things that are too hard for them to grasp.

In that case, we need to come up with a way to patent campaign financing and how their votes go. Throw in their extra marital affairs and we could have a winner.

Was flipping through the channels last night and Enemy Of The State was on. A little excessive with what technology could do, but conceptually some of those ideas starting to appear.

or it is a well thought out plot to maximize the malicious plot.

Common sense would have coordinate with appropriate people and had someone on hand to monitor and coordinate.

Because anonymous notes saying: "This most definitely is not a bomb. Please call xxx-xxxx for further details" is somehow trustworthy?
