And Star Wars is a remake of a Japanese movie from the 1950's (The Hidden Fortress).

Sorry if this offends comic fans, but Daredevil is meh. Reasonable plot/character development, interrupted by extended punchfests reminiscent of '60's Batman Pow! Blam! Zowie! kitsch.

Whoosh.

Most (all?) phones send all audio out the headphone jack when something is plugged into it. What good is having an antenna, when you can't hear anything?

AM is even better, because of the range. So, keep an AM/FM radio with your emergency supplies. If your emergency supply is only a cell phone, you're screwed anyway.

It's "ham," not "HAM." It's not an acronym.

"Google copied it's user interface and general device layout"

Well, no, although that's certainly the Apple worldview. Fact is, both iPhone and Android came out due to a convergence of technologies at pricepoints which made smartphones, as we now know them, practical.

Think low power processors/GPS/WiFi, low cost hi-res color touch LCDs, flash memory, MEMS/sensors, high speed cellular data connectivity, etc. The iPhone and Android phones came out essentially simultaneously, and both had been in development for years before they were announced.

Nokia's (and Blackberry's) problem was mostly one with which market leaders have had a long tradition - the unwillingness to compete against or see beyond their own success.

"Range is not a problem, most guns can kill someone over a mile away."

Some, perhaps, but certainly not most, especially if you consider handguns. It's about 1.6 miles. 9mm will only go about 1.4 miles.

Of course, one reason even rifles don't have the range is that there's stuff in the way between the White House and the Capitol.

"I can't believe no one shot him as he came over the fence. What the fuck is wrong with White House security?"

Maybe the firearms they're armed with don't have the range to hit a gyro-copter landing at the Capitol building, which is over a mile away.

My brother-in-law has the best line for dealing with them - "My mom told me not to talk to strangers."

"What she just did is claimed that everyone magically has the same abilities, experiences, and knowledge to draw from."

Actually, what she's doing is saying that even if there are differences, they shouldn't be allowed to matter. I don't think she should be allowed to discriminate on any basis (including education, knowledge, ability, etc.), so suggest that Reddit should simply hire for all positions by simply drawing names from a hat, so any difference between applicants doesn't effect the outcome.

"...I told her..."

See, there's the problem. If it was a male cashier, he would have negotiated. I hear they're better at it.

"Men negotiate harder than women do"

So, she makes a sexist statement to defend not negotiating in order to eliminate sexism? Fail. Would she use the same claim to defend hiring men over women for positions which involve negotiating contracts?

It's Microsoft v. Motorola. Microsoft is the plaintiff, and the patents which Google acquired when it purchased Motorola Mobility are what's at issue, specifically what Google charges Microsoft to use them.

But yeah, trying to say it's Apple v. Google is a troll.

"It would have to be backwards compatible with English. Then you could say that everyone who speaks English is also speaking your constructed language."
