and no bow, or string.... So, it's really not much like a crossbow at all.

I'm guessing "free as in speech"... and it seems that Washington and Colorado are now free speech zones.

Of course he was right. He spoke to those people personally. Both of them want a Surface tablet.

Take a little more from TFA and you get even better possibilities...

I had a problem with that too, except the thing people were purchasing wasn't something that could be purchased through the app store. The app required registration to load the full content, and that registration was provided when the user attended a live training event. The app has some functionality without registration, but the full content is only available to people who have attended the training.

Apple viewed this as an external purchase and rejected an app update (the update was to fix a math error, nothing else) After scheduling a conference call, never receiving that call, and resubmitting the app 5 times - it was finally approved.

I can appreciate that they want to keep their platform clean, I can also appreciate that they want to squeeze every penny of profit from the app store - but what I don't appreciate is their lack of consideration to the people who are developing these apps. Missed appointments, inconsistent application of the secret approval guidelines, and the long-long wait between submission and approval or denial - the app store is an unnecessarily hard pill to swallow.

Right, and because they know about it - they can give their phone to a schoolmate who plans on going to school, while they head off to the local crack den.

Bad-analogy-guy - is that you?

The parts still have value.

The screencaps I found for that movie look correct! Thanks for the quick answer!

I'm reminded of a Mars movie that I saw in my youth (I spent a few minutes trying to remember the name, but it escapes me... even with internet help). In this movie, the native (humanoid) martians drove (wind powered?) boats and the (helmet-less) astronauts threw their garbage everywhere - throwing into streams was popular, as I recall. I remember watching it to the end.

Does anyone remember this one?

Before IOS5, it was a simple process to get the UDID and use it for any purpose you wanted. Then, Apple decreed it off limits. It was still there, but your app would get rejected if they found you were using this restricted method.

My solution - get the Wifi MAC address. It's unique, available, and Apple doesn't stop anyone from getting it. So why would anyone send the IDFA, which the user can disable - when they could send a MAC address - which the user cannot disable?

Fixed that for you...

What's to stop people from altering the 3d file, adding a cut-away nub somewhere, so it no longer matches the fingerprint?

I think that you might be able to hear shots in space - your own, as they were activated and the operational noise vibrated throughout your own ship. Additionally, I think that a good combat space fighter might have a computer that would provide some audible feedback about the environment - and create vectored sound to alert the pilot of passing ships. It might even provide alerts when enemy ships fired in his general direction. It's not too far fetched - many cars emit audible tones when in reverse and something gets too close to the rear bumper.

You're absolutely right. You should *censored* yourself now to avoid the misery.
