And as an added bonus on Nikon cameras with a check for genuine batteries, this means you can hotswap to aftermarket batteries. (though nikonhacker.com has done a nice job on disabling the checks for the D5100 and I believe the D3100 too)

It would be about goddamn time.

I guess fortune is with you. I have one of those too and both my Nikon and third party lens caps constantly fall off. Hence I stopped using them in favor of just stuffing them in a pocket.

Lens caps fall off those things half of the time.

xD cards? Looks like it.

What Chief looks like has been known since before Halo 2, it was described in the very first Halo novel.

Except the Nexus phones don't have an SD slot, which I find a huge miss. If Google and manufacturers were to give future Nexus phones a microSD slot, they would finally truly have the ultimate Android smartphone.

VOTE: SMB

Eh, they're used in older tv-remotes and garage door remotes, devices which aren't meant to be on all the time. If I were to think of such a system, I probably would have gone with a breaker switch instead.

What's wrong with WW1-solutions?

Strange they don't use those anymore. Yes it's dated in our time of voip and in-flight wifi, but plain old telephone service will probably still be around for more than a decade :s

Many planes have expensive payphones built right into the seats. It's just about squeezing money out of people, not about safety at all. The only time people shouldn't be using their electronics on a plane ride, is during the pre-takeoff safety demonstration and during heavy turbulence.

I don't know how secure NFC is, but if it's secure enough I don't see any problems with it. Truth be told I'd like to see a proper standard for induction charging emerge first so car manufacturers can start embedding charging platforms in the dash or center console.

I quit using Instagram when they started acting like total dildos about Twitter. I might as well use Flickr then with some IFTTT triggers

Nope, I just block 'em.

Oh well, I'm not complaining.

Only until you pay for pro (once more). Flickr deletes no files, as long as you're using free you just only get access to the 200 most recent ones. Upgrade to pro and you (and others) can access them again, as well as having no monthly limits, being able to upload images of max 50 MB each and allowing you and others…

A bottle of vodka only costs about 5€ here, no idea what a bottle of rubbing alcohol would cost.

I just pour some vodka in it (bottle with USSR emblem, of course it has to hold that!). Any bacteria that can survive a liquid that's essentially 40-50% alcohol kinda deserves to get you.

If video games remind you of the horrors, then it's normal to quit them, be it temporarily or indefinitely. I also appreciate how Jeremy keeps in mind violent video games didn't cause this or previous tragedies.
