Use large (100-200+ oz) pro audio speaker magnets. If the hard drive attaches itself to the magnet, you've done it right.

webOS was pretty well thought-out before they actually started building the software. It's a lot more consistent in interface than iOS (which isn't too bad) and Android (which is pretty abysmal). It also went the Apple school-of-thought of 'pick certain things, do those really well' (even 1-up'd iOS a bit) rather than the Android/Windows route of 'doing everything, specialize in nothing'.

Exactly. Similarly, no amount of money in the world can make a kid do better in school if he's just a dumbass who doesn't want to learn in the first place.

Traditional economic metrics just aren't applicable in some real world scenarios.

Because that's how an employer/employee system works, when an employer is a government...

Irrational nutjob much?

You do realize that a pension is basically a piece of a wage that has been deferred right? People give up/save/pause a portion of their earnings *now* so that they may have it *later*. All of this evil BS about pension and health care...

If you're spanking your kids all it means is that you have failed in your role as a parent. Spanking means that you have nothing else, no other ideas. There's nothing hip & trendy or touchy-feely about it.

re: behavior of other kids in the class.. I'll agree, there's a lot of extremely poor parenting out there. But smacking your kid to teach respect/authority is no better than having no discipline/consequences in order to be friends with your kid. In either case the parent took on the role of an abuser.

Seeing as you've posted AC, I think on some level you know this. Don't make up BS about you not wanting your real ID to be associated with you spanking your kid.

It doesn't really look all that different, just evolved. Both have docks and iOS doesn't have widgets.

You can easily corrupt hard drives and TVs using pro audio speaker magnets (in the range of 50-200oz). A few years ago I did some playing around with a spare HD and a loose 18" PA sub driver (150oz? magnet iirc). Dumb simple, I had both sitting on a table and just moved the hard drive progressively closer to the magnet, the replugging back into the computer. Finally, at 10" away the computer was no longer able to recognize the drive as bootable.
