I've been boycotting Verizon for at least 5 years, why stop now?

In that case, if they aren't charging you directly for paying with your credit card then it would be foolish not to use it. They are going to charge you with higher rates regardless of if you use the card, so may as well use it and get something for your money.

$0.10 was the price for Google's Christmas sale. It was not the developer's regular price.

5 minutes is way too short. The Android market gives 15 minutes, and plenty of time that's still not enough to determine if an app does what you need.

It's true that the price you usually pay for an app influences how much you think an app is worth, but you are ignoring that the quality of the app is also a large factor. I've paid $8 for an app that I would gladly pay more for because I use it constantly and get so much in return. For another app I paid only $0.10 and still didn't feel like I got my money's worth. It matters not one bit to a customer how much time and effort you put into making an app, if the app doesn't fulfill your customers need then it isn't worth a cent to them.

Whey did Google create this then? It sure looks like an attempt to enable app making for everyone.

Well, yeah. Of course science is more then observation. My point is that is where it starts.

What part of security screening doesn't scale linearly? Do screening interviews take longer when you have to do more of them? Do you need an increasing number of interviewers for each passenger as the volume increases? Neither of those sound plausible, so what is it?

You, sir, are wrong. What they good folks at the LHC are doing is smashing things together and observing the results. Get that? Observing, the root of all science. Was Newton not doing science when he observed that (apocryphal) apple falling from the tree and came up with gravity? Was Mendeleev not doing science when he observed how certain phenotype were passed from generation to generation and came up with genetics? Was Darwin not doing science when he observed the differentiation of different species in the Galapagos Islands and came up with evolution? Was Einstein not doing science when he used the observation that light is always travelling at the same speed and came up with relativity?

All of these notable scientists of the past were indeed doing science, just as it is being done at LHC. Observe, hypothesis, then test. That's how science works.

Being equivalent to gravity is not the same as being caused by gravity. Think about Einstein's original though experiment about the elevator. The point is that from within the elevator if you are feeling uniform acceleration it is impossible to tell the difference between a stationary elevator in a gravitational field or an accelerating elevator floating in space.

In short i think you're confused because you have it backwards. Not all forms of acceleration are gravity, but gravity is a form of acceleration just like any other.

I spend $50 a month for my smartphone and I use it practically non-stop. You need to shop around, you should't be paying anywhere near $80 a month if you use a smartphone only a few times a week.

Why were you waiting for the T-Mobile acquisition? T-Mobile already allows you to use your own phone. Just buy an Android phone and put your SIM in it, no need to destroy a perfectly good carrier to get what you want.

Moron with no actual understanding of language in general complain about language not being logical.

The probe is only supposed to be sent out as far as Jupiter. That's pretty far, but NASA communicates with probes further out then that all the time.

NASA has been communicating with remote probes for decades. What is so different about this one?
