No longer weakly-typed.

no.

Not to mention that a decent-sized smartphone is not exactly comfortable in the front pocket when sitting down, and also it involves standing up to fish it out and answer a phone call. First world problems.

It's pretty easy to look back at works written decades ago and see them as contrived because we have been exposed to so many books and movies in the genre since then that use similar plot lines. Ender's Game was unique because the shallow protagonist you refer to is an enigma. He is a combination of understanding well past his years, genius beyond the level of nearly all adults, and yet sees everything through a child's innocent eyes. The telling of the story with this combination is far from shallow in my opinion. Aside: I also very much enjoyed Evangelion.

Thanks

I am having trouble figuring out how this is a response to my comment. Did you reply to the wrong comment? If not, where did I imply that you had a problem to solve? I was explaining how you misinterpreted the previous poster's comment.

Also, if you live in modern society, you are subjected to billboards, media ads, and other marketing at every turn. You don't have a choice about what to see on the side of the road. It's there, you look at it. This is force-fed. If you want to pretend you have magic pretentious blinders and don't see them, fine, have at it.

Of course you have an option for paying taxes: don't live in a society that demands rent from you for the privilege.

No. This old canard incorrectly presumes that there is somewhere to go that resolves the issues you have with where you are; it also incorrectly presumes that such mobility is practical or even possible. All of these are disingenuous presumptions.

You're wrong. The previous comment suggested to live somewhere that doesn't charge taxes and/or rent. Live off the grid, out in the wilderness. Practical? Maybe not, depends who you ask. Possible? Definitely. Would I do it and lose my Internet? Hell no. From what I gathered though, this wasn't the point of the comment, the point was that there is an option to not be force-fed marketing.

Although other devices may be accessing these points as well, these locations were reported by Apple devices. Once the MAC is resolved for that point, the process continues by isolating the devices using that router using a service such as Google's location services. Google locked down security on this service for this exact reason http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-20074571-281/google-curbs-web-map-exposing-phone-locations/.

Read deeper into the article before judging.

Great post btw, I wasn't aware of a few of these networks.

Incidentally, if I see someone post that they like a song on (pick your social network) I ignore it. Can't remember the last time I actually clicked one. Maybe that's just me.

But Sprint's service is only unlimited in that there is no data shutoff. They do throttle speeds when certain bandwidth thresholds are met. They're even doing it now on the "entry service" they bought -- Boost Mobile http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/sprints-boost-mobile-start-smartphone-throttling-january/2012-12-19

We're going to need a ruling on the proper plural of these races... Any Delta Quadrant sociologists on slashdot?

Personal attacks have no place in what should be an intellectual conversation. This isn't 4Chan, this is Slashdot. Of course, this is just anonymously posted flamebait so I am not sure why I should be surprised.

On topic, the previous responder was right about one thing. These are not the President's policies, because the President himself cannot pass laws. Congress needs to pass them. Where the previous poster is wrong though is using the assumption that Congress has any power whatsoever. No member of Congress votes on a topic based on an unbiased political stance. Special interest and central bank money are behind every single thing that goes through Congress's hands. They are puppets controlled by the hands of the same people that brought us the Federal Reserve.

This kind of reminds me of something that Katt Williams once said, to use a highly credible source. pause... "Shaquille O'Neal isn't rich. The man that signs Shaq's paychecks is the rich one. And to relate... Congress doesn't have power. The man that pays members of Congress has power.

But...we know that the outer crust of Europa is elastic because of the gravitational forces from Jupiter. According to http://www.es.ucsc.edu/~fnimmo/website/paper27.pdf there is likely to be areas during certain tidal forms that are much thinner than that and some that are thicker. As we study it further I am sure smarter people than myself will work out math to make this feasible. Assuming certain countries' space programs are given a budget and they can afford to spend a little less on fighter jets and bombs, that is.

Junos web access for the same reason ... sigh.
