"Disabling data access per app is a different story though, so your point still stands."
On iOS 7 you can do this, but only if you're not using wifi. In the prefs you can turn off cellular data access on a per app basis. You can also see how much of your cellular data plan each app is eating.
How many buildings did Gandhi blow up?
Not nearly as many as Reagan did.
Who's claiming Reagan is "this generation's Gandhi"?
Gandhi was known for his non-violence. Mandela was known for his violence, just like George Washington, Obama and Churchill. Now that violence may have been justified, but Mandella was far closer to those men than he was to Gandhi. Hell Gerry Adams is closer to a "this generation's Gandhi" than Mandela.
(P.S. for anyone currently under the age of 30 Communism and apartheid both fell before they were teenagers. "This generation" is an interesting word.)
You're making the assumption that violence from someone you agree with is good whereas violence from someone you disagree with is bad.
No, you're making the assumption that there's no difference between "good violence" and "no violence". I have no problem with Mandela's tactics, but he's no Gandhi.
What about all the founding fathers of the US who burned down a lot of buildings and tortured or killed a lot of British supporters? Ie "tar and feathering" which we are taught about in grade school was not just some mild public humiliation but a form of torture that could sometimes cause death. Were those people brave patriots fighting for freedom or terrorists using fear tactics?
Terrorists (as in they employed terrorist tactics to get their own way) that rose up in arms against their (ridiculous) government. For profit. I don't think anyone would say Washington was that generation's Gandhi, nor was George 3rd.
Thank you, the post I was looking for
Because it's "stuff that matters."

Was he still considered a terrorist by the US
It's so much worse than just Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher calling Mandela a "terrorist".
When congress passed anti-apartheid sanctions, Reagan vetoed them, and then actively called the Senators before the veto override vote to try to convince them to let it stand. Congress went ahead and overrode the veto, giving Reagan one of his worst political defeats as president. It was the only time in the 20th century when congress overrode a president's veto of a foreign policy bill.
Reagan still refused to enforce the sanctions against the apartheid regime, asking South African President Botha to call congress himself and lobby to have the sanctions lifted.
Reagan's successor, George H W Bush, included in his platform a promise to enforce the sanctions to their fullest extent, which he ultimately did.
Mandela's legacy will ring out long after Reagan and Thatcher's have been relegated to the trash.
I continue to feel Reagan is overrated. Mandela was the Gandhi of our time.

That took forever...
That took forever...
Aww, was it upsetting for you to go through those 22 weeks his health and body were failing?
Imagine what is must have been like for him.

I guess as long as they are both blue tooth that'll work.
"1. They had problems with modern human DNA contamination (not sure why they couldn't get everything clean but since they're the leading edge lab in this sort of thing, it must be a real issue)."
Just as an observation, I think this is going to be an increasing problem the more sensitive DNA testing gets. It is now possible for some DNA tests to detect a single cell's worth of evidence. Think about that. Then think about the trail of DNA evidence you leave behind everywhere. Getting a "clean" lab may end up being more tricky and costly than you think, not to mention the treatment the specimen got before it got to the lab.
Kind of hard to cross that big old ocean 'tween the U.S. and Malaysia...

Is that computer hardware has become much more reliable over time. In fact some business now waits 3 or so years before refreshing hardware. And personal is anywhere from that 3 to 5 years range.
3 years? Don't make me laugh. Most businesses used to have a 3 year cycle at tops. Most businesses I encounter are on 5 or 7 years of sweating assets, and the staff really don't care.
Disagree, they've changed the fucking keyboard layout and I will hate them forever for that. As a touch typist since 1977, and a computer keyboard touch typist since 1992, it irritates the crap out of me that they've swapped the left Function and Control key, moved F1 where Escape should be, and put Escape where you need to actually take your hands off the keyboard to reach it. Then the Delete/Home/etc cluster is messed up too. The worst part of it all is that there is absolutely no reason for it, so I work on this Lenovo fucked up layout and then go home and have to re-adjust to my normal keyboard on my laptop at home. Absolutely unforgivable as far as I'm concerned.
I managed to get a new T410s a couple of months ago to replace my old one which was literally falling apart. I'm not looking forward to 18 months time.
Fn/Ctrl is swappable in the bios, at least it is on the t410.
