Some of the mini keyboards include a "case" for the phone. They slide out of the external case. I've only seen them for iphones though.

What's the point of a built-in keyboard on a phone with bluetooth anyway? More moving parts, impossible to touch type on, always bulky even when you won't be typing, etc, etc. Get a bluetooth keyboard and be done with it. If you don't care about touch-typing there are bluetooth keyboards about the same size as most phones. eg the Rii mini. If you do, a folding keyboard may be better, such as the Verbatim 97537 or any of the numerous others.

World of Warcraft uses bittorrent to distribute updates.
Pando Media Booster uses bittorrent to distribute updates, and is used by quite a few other games (League of Legends, Lord of the Rings Online, etc, etc).
Linux ISOs are hardly the biggest legitimate use of bittorrent.

Repent! 1 Nethack ascension and 2 Angbads and your transgressions shall be forgiven.

Android does have a good way to stop unwanted apps from sending out data. It's called iptables. There are some nice GUI frontends, like DroidWall if you don't like putting in terminal commands to a phone.

How about Brian (Krebs) and Bruce (Schneier)?

This is why I use diceware. 7776 words.

My town has a conservative city council. They're replacing all the streetlights from sodium-vapor to LED lamps. The LED lights project far less light into the sky, and use less power. They'll probably vote themselves a paycheck bonus equal to the money saved from this project.... Sometimes, corruption works.

You sound like someone who would do well with Xmonad. It's a very minimal tiling window manager. I personally use it instead of kwin with kde4.

Yesterday a friend asked my why I like command line so much. After all, GUIs make it easy to find commands you don't use often through the menus (unless it's a ribbon app) while you have to memorize command line commands. My answer: Yes, GUI is easier, for one file. I just renamed my music files to a name/directory structure of "artist/album/artist - album - disk - track - title". All 6000 of them. In under a minute. GUIs are better for single tasks. CLIs for batch jobs and automation.

100 years will probably see quantum computing become useful, and Linux won't work on a non-Von-Neumann architecture system.

So the dust isn't hundreds of meters deep, and there are no spear-toting maniacs, nor any diamond wells, but he at least guessed the underground bit...

Where else would you find someone who has a vernier caliper at his computer desk? Yep, this is Slashdot.

I can operate an Evo with one hand. I also have very small hands (16.25cm from base of palm to tip of the middle finger.)

And for those who say that air travel is a privilege, and that we aren't given the right to fly anywhere (ignoring that whole tenth amendment bit
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
there's also a law that gives that right explicitly:
"49 U.S.C. 40103 : US Code - Section 40103: Sovereignty and use of airspace
(2) A citizen of the United States has a public right of transit through the navigable airspace."
