I second this motion, though it doesn't meet the age criteria. Convince him to overlook that.

If it doesn't, it should certainly be modified to.

Why are so many people suggesting that a sat phone is possible? Much like the lack of cell towers, there weren't satellites for that in that time period either.

Agreed. I think the more proper statement is that "tabloids" are useless crap. "Nuts and Volts", "Circuit Cellar", "Linux Journal", "Make", "2600", they all contain useful information.

It works by causing the force to be spread over a wider area. The material just has to be tough enough to not let the bullet punch through, but deform the surface instead. You still take the force of the bullet, but since the force is spread out, it doesn't have enough energy in a small enough space to make a hole through you (I am told it still hurts a heck of a lot though).

I have one of the Sony Network BD players as well. They are great little devices. As far as the LoveFilm thing, it sounds a lot like NetFlix here, which the player I have can use (one of the big reasons I bought it).

World doesn't revolve around you chap. Tivo is now a subscription service.

No, it is still a problem with your expectations. If it wasn't advertised with other capabilities, you shouldn't expect them. At the very least, people can't complain if it was fairly common knowledge that there are restrictions (and it is), and they just didn't look into it before hand.

I have a Dell branded space heater as well (A Vostro 3700). Cooling pads are available all over the place. Not only do they solve this issue, but they'll keep your laptop better protected from heat as well.

You've gone too far, expect a plane ticket to England in the mail. Along with a terse letter asking you not to return.

My dad has an old Walther PPK/S, and I think it may not. That could be a problem with the gun though. I have never shot any other PPK/S to know.

FYI, a "Thompson" is a Tommy Gun. They are both references to the Thompson Sub Machine Gun. I agree, a 1911 (or a Glock, as they are common too) is probably more likely.

Google provides a method for catering the user experience to the end-user's desires. There is a difference between allowing someone to make a bad UI, and simply telling them they're stupid, so you have made the UI for them (and won't allow any changes). If you happen to be so inclined as to poorly configure your Android device, that isn't really Google's fault. I for one, like to actually have a choice in the matter. As it happens, I like the usability of my Nexus One very much. This is such a tired debate anyway. If you aren't intelligent enough to setup a phone, it's not like Google is keeping you from buying an iPhone

It may be difficult for you to comprehend that if the government cared as much about your data as you suspect, you likely wouldn't be able to type these things (as you would be either in prison or dead).

I have had a Fuze for a year and a half, with heavy use. No hardware issues at all. The only problems I have seen are software related, and are because I flashed it with an unofficial rom, so that is my fault anyway.
