Easy there, friend. Not all of us in the south are bad. I think the politicians are misguided as well, but that's not why I want to talk. I'm not stuck in the past; I'm perfectly capable of thinking for myself, and you're more than allowed to think whatever you want. Christians that try to convert others are stuck in "religion" and are not reading the Bible properly. It's neither my nor anyone else's job to convert people. There are many of us who believe and act, and you shouldn't be angry with us. We're working in the community, feeding and clothing the single parents, their children, the homeless, and taking care of the forgotten in nursing homes. We help give hope to those who nobody wants to deal with and can barely stand for themselves, struggling from day to day. You'll meet plenty of good and bad actors in your life, but don't group all of us together by those who don't act accordingly.

I agree with what an earlier poster said about using the right tool for the job. I've owned both and Android works better for my use case. Android makes it easier to do the most important thing I do, which is DRAG AND DROP. I downloaded John Carmack's QuakeCon 2012 speech my home PC to listen on my S III at work. On the iPhone, it would have taken me 20 minutes to load up iTunes, sync what apps and music I forgot I downloaded on the phone to windows and vice versa, create a folder to place the video, put the video in the folder, tell iTunes where the new folder is, and sync the video. On my S III, I just plug it in, open the phone's SD card drive, open Downloads in Windows, and drag the damn thing over in 2 minutes. Same thing at work. If I forget to bring my flash drive to work with me, I can just plug in the S III and copy over what files I need to work on 5 minutes before I have to leave. (Normally 200+ MB spreadsheets, so e-mail is out of the option.) I could never do that as quickly and easily on an iPhone as I can on the S III.

Six Men Endure 105-Day Mars Flight Simulator 274

drunken_boxer777 writes with this excerpt from an AP report: "Six men emerged from a metal hatch after 105 days of isolation in a mock spacecraft, still smiling after testing the stresses that space travelers may face on the journey to Mars. They had no television or Internet and their only link to the outside world was communications with the experiment's controllers — who also monitored them via TV cameras — and an internal e-mail system. Communications with the outside world had 20-minute delays to imitate a real space flight."
