Sooo a discussion about Apple's 4S (which notably does not have 4G, and is stated as a Good Thing by many Apple fans due to the murder it does to batteries) vs Samsung (which in this case DOES do 4G).. I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that this was yet another "4G sucks because the battery sucks" type comment.

Not to mention 2 of Jo42's previous few comments have been comparing Android to Hemorrhoid. Again, not really a stretch to consider his post a flame.

With the 4G on probably less then when he has the 4G off?

Battery life a Samsung phone with 4G on: I'd say poor
Battery life a Samsung phone with 4G off: I'd say good to great

Battery life of an iPhone with 4G on: 0, because you aren't allowed to
Battery life of an iPhone with 4G off: great

Yeah, that's Apple winning right there. Let me guess when the iPhone 5 comes out with 4G, 4G will then be awesome?

I think you should take some time, live in Iran for 5 years, then switch and live in the US for 5. I'd be curious if you'd consider the US a "dictatorship ruled by religious fundamentalists of the worst kind" after that.

Your other argument is highly flawed - having 1 nation with enough Nukes to destroy the world.. yeah that's bad. However we don't need Iran to step in and make sure the other guys don't nuke. We already have France, Britain, US, China, Russia, Pakistan, India, etc etc. At a point there's such a thing as too much. I think we already proved in the 50 previous years that the US and Russia/USSR was sufficient to keep a stalemate in check. Countries like Iran will likely never have enough nukes to counter the "dictatorship" of the US anyways - if the US is really so scary they are better off siding with China or the Russians.

Besides, if I was American (And I'm not) I wouldn't honestly be worried about Iran nuking me. However if I was in the middle east I'd be EXTREMELY concerned.

So basically your saying that assuming these hackers have gone in, recovered your password, AND you used the same password for your email, it's safe to assume they didn't change your password to lock you out?

Although no answer is perfect, in your solution you are requiring that the original WineHQ accounts are still uncompromised which is an unsafe assumption. Assuming the email is still safe is generally the safer of the two options. Using the email the only people that MIGHT get burned are those that used the same password on both. Both options involve risk.

Soooo I thought what you said was interesting, and I took a look around. The MiG31 is a 1975 design. The 29 was first flown in 1977. The Su series is, near as I can tell, designs based on the Sukhoi Company a major arms (warplane) builder. So saying the "SU series" is kinda dumb, since that includes designs from the 30s.....

Since you didn't bother to qualify any of your statements with anything, short of you providing proof, I'm going to have to label you troll. Nice try tho.

When I first decided to switch from iPhone to Android I had, for various reasons, 2 options open to me. SE's X10 and an Acer Liquid E. Similar stats, same processor (underclocked on the Acer) etc etc. However the X10 was rocking Android 1.6, while the Acer just went from 2.1 to 2.2 at the time. SE was slow and painful with their upgrades.

Fast forward to now, and I finally dropped the Acer and it's horrible build quality and went.. Sony Xperia (Play). I've gotten 2 firmware upgrades since getting it, and it even has a lot of nice touches specific to Sony like a Home Launcher that doesn't suck and features like xLoud. It's hard to believe this is the same SE that launched the X10 and then forgot about it. I've always liked the hardware, and now even the Software seems to be getting up to snuff.

I'm still a bit leary, I mean in a year they seemed to do a 180, and in a year they could do it again and go back to the old ways, but so far I'm liking it. What they really need to start doing however is releasing some dual core phones to keep up with the competition (that new Galaxy S 2 looks amazing), maybe even a newer Xperia Play that supports HDMI out (big screw up on their part in the original)

Thanks for the response :) My friend has the A, and shares your experiences - he recommended me the DIR-655 actually, and if it wasn't for this one bug I'd agree with him that it's a decent router. His works fine tho.. I guess the B stands for Bad? :( I agree I rather like the computer name feature to select from the list... there ARE things I like about the 655, but this is a deal breaker for me.

As I mentioned in my post, it isn't this post that I'm responding to - it's the 5 or 6 responses PER GOOGLE ARTICLE he has negatively towards Google and positive towards Apple that makes me wonder why he cares so much.

Seriously - every time I'm reading comments on Android I can almost guarantee I see him pointing out the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. It's just as annoying if you swap Apple and Google's names around.

I guess I don't know why anyone would care THAT much about, well, anything - and so wanted to know why.
