it was probably tested at 10cm...

I've read numerous technical documents to get an understanding of engineering, as well as the [insert your speciality code here] itself; there is absolutely no reason that one needs to be an engineer.

You're not a lawyer, Bill_The_Engineer. So don't play one, and don't pretend you know how the law works.

Your bit about the constitution is wrong.

The constitution is just a set of guidelines to prevent abuse from a totalitarian government. Laws routinely limit the rights of citizens.

You have a right to free speech, but you can't say CUNT on TV.

Your contract doesn't allow you to host servers (especially for commercial use) in your residential connection. So, you don't have a point.

How do you change the default search functionality in Android?

There is a google search bar in my phone (Android 4.4.2), which, if i tap, long tap, tap and tap menu button, and any other combos, won't offer me an option to change it.

There is also the Android browser, which defaults to google search AND google.com as the home, for which you have to go into "advanced settings" to change the default search provider (IE will ask you on first run).

There is also Google Hangouts now wanting to be the default SMS app.

And there's Google+ claiming to have over 500M users when nobody uses (save for a few developers too cool for facebook). That's because google decided you had to be in Google+ if you had Gmail.

Google is still the best search engine and email provider out there. They are dominant in that area, and they use this to promote their other "platforms", most of the making it opt-out for you. So let's not defend google. They're just another company.

oh yes, dropped calls are such a rare occurence..

"worldwide"?

As an argentinian with a comic book store: LOL.

I live in Argentina. I have a comic book shop and the markup is 30-35% only.

"Newsstands" get the comics, sell them, and pocket the difference. The remaining ones are returned at no cost for them (not even shipping).
"Real" stores like mine, have to pay in advance, unsold ones you stick up your own ass, and have to pay higher taxes, operating costs, and credit/debit card fees (3%/1.5% respectively, plus other taxes). People don't expect a newsstand to operate with CC but when they come to my shop they get mad if I only accept cash.

Sigh...

I read the Argentinian edition of Rolling Stone. Such a shame. Some of the articles are excellent, but the rest of the magazine is pure crap, especially the provocative covers (which they, at least, recognize it's for selling more)

Because people already know what the tax is. There's no point in giving it separately. No matter what a product "costs", you still have to PAY the final price, inlcuding the tax.

Do you think the US tax system is even remotely comparable to Argentina's? It's fundamentally different.

An individual doesn't have to "file" any taxes, nor deduct anything. You just pay at the time of paying.

Companies are very different, but individuals don't need to worry about that.

Nope. In most places, the usual is to tell the client the *FINAL* price, all taxes included. Discriminating sales tax is mostly a US thing only.

Here in Argentina it's illegal to tell a (final) client the price without VAT. For non-final clients (resellers for example), it's usually expressed as "Price (+VAT)", and rarely as "Price (VAT included)".

I'm talking about mobile.

And I sincerely doubt there are "7600" (as the article states) "CRITICAL" applications. If you ever connect to the vulnerable ones, chances are they will be a small factory no one cares about.

There is nothing wrong with remote MONITORING, as it happens to be just that: MONITORING. It's not about remotely controlling a process. It's about "the boss" seeing some dumb parameters (production counters). All logic should run in the PLC. Control sould be performed locally, through HMIs. You have to walk 150M inside the factory to set the oven's temp a little lower? Good. It's your job. The boss isn't interested in doing that from his phone.
