Q. If your Android phone is unlocked, how easy is it to change the passcode?
You have to enter the old passcode before entering a new one, same thing to disable it altogether.

It goes in a database of course, so they can track your whereabouts.
No. It's sold to the advertisers.
More likely, both.
What about requiring voting, but simply including an "I abstain" option for each category?
I vote almost every single time, with the exception of some school board elections that I've missed, but if voting became mandatory, I think I'd refuse out of protest. It's just as wrong to force someone to vote as it is to prevent someone from voting.
Those who don't care or who want to protest can select "abstain" but it's now an active choice.
I would rather have None of the Above on the ballot, and if that option got the most votes, there would have to be another election, with the previous candidates ineligible.
So I'm curious where this backlog of awesome games are, or what you mean by awesome games, because right now, I can't think of any. But I'd like to know of any that might be worth my heading out and getting a PS4. I make occasional pop-ins at Gamestop to see the new releases, but so far nothing is tempting.
One new-ish game I got was Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor. It's pretty fun, but make sure to get the PS4 version. I have the PS3 version, so it has laggy transitions. It will pause for a minute to load a 3 second cut scene, then pause another minute after that plays another 3 second cut scene, then pause another minute to switch back to the game. From what I understand, the PS4 doesn't have that issue at all. Watch Dogs was pretty fun, and I guess the PS4 version of that is even better, especially when it comes to the driving portion of the game. Dying Light is supposed to be pretty good if you're not tired of the whole zombie apocalypse thing.
Paying $900 for a phone that will last for two years - not for me!
I had my iPhone 4 for 4 years and it still worked perfectly well when I traded it in for my iPhone 6+. The only reason I upgraded was that I needed the phone to be able to run the most current OS for development purposes. The good trade-in prices on the iPhone 4 were an added incentive. I had considered handing it down to my wife, but ended up getting her a Samsung Galaxy Centra from Tracfone, since we didn't want 2 phones on the same plan for the outrageous costs. As soon as I finish with my contract, I'm going to move my iPhone to Tracfone as well.
I think that a lot of people buy one system and stick with it because of the integration. Either you use hangouts, gmail, google calendar etc,
Google was kind enough to provide most of those things for the iOS ecosystem as well.
Didn't know slashdot is capable of printing ß's (not that I know how to use that character!)
I think it's just a browser thing, not a Slashdot thing. The ess-zed (ß) is used in place of a double-s. "Ich muß schlafen" -> "Ich muss schlafen". It isn't used as much anymore, but I think it looks cool, so I still like to use it.
This cycle has been going at least since the invention of the radio and likely before.
Probably since the abacus?
So they're going to destroy your reputation at a moments notice, by disclosing that they illegally spied on you and open themselves up to law suits.
Good luck with that. If you're in their crosshairs, you'll get bagged, tagged and shipped off to Gitmo, which is what would have happened to Snowden if was caught before he fled.
Face it, America is now being ran by people who don't believe the law applies to them.
Just now?
If she is so smart, then how come she got caught?
She didn't care, because she knows there won't be any consequences.
No man is an island if he's on at least one mailing list.
