If you mean they considered the bad PR of reinforcing their image as a company that interferes with it's customers' usage, sure - there's more to it than just fixing the damn problem. It was a good judgement call though - one of those rare examples of someone in a position of some authority in a company that hasn't…

I've seen that form factor before - we sometimes get large servers shipped on them. Fits through office doors.

Announcement to launch is likely going to be a month or two at least. And launch will most likely be a GSM handset - T-Mo or AT&T. The CDMA models might not turn up for another few months. Maybe as much as 6 months from now before Sprint would see a Nexus phone that was announced today. Yeah, still possible there will…

Very cool. Getting ready to add a mudd-room off my kitchen, so this might work. Unfortunately, while we get plenty of pallets at work, none look remotely like that. Nothing but the cheap junk here. :\

Interesting - I'm the opposite. The only snap I use routinely is the top. I run dual or triple monitors at home and at work, and it just feels very natural to "fling" a window from one screen, up to the top of the next to move & full screen in one action.

Well, true. As it stands I could live with skipping the live action Akira, but I'd be pretty much compelled to see a live action Bebop, no matter how bad it was.

I dunno.. I'd rather see him in Bebop than Akira*. There's some passing resemblance at least.

Look at how much material it can sweep through. And with multiple operators, I suspect one guy could be constantly driving it along while someone else runs the boom back and forth to work the material within reach. I imagine one of these guys can extract a few thousand tons an hour nearly 24/7 (and they likely have…

The speed is for the whole machine to move. But while mining, it can swing that arm around and clear everything around it. Then move forward, clear another few thousand tons.

I considered that. In that case, I should have been able to undelete the files. There was nothing available for undelete though, not even files I *had* deleted recently. All I was left with was the default Dropbox folder structure on all my PCs. I see now that I might have been able to get a restore from backup by…

I'm the family tech and I won't use Dropbox because they've deleted my files in the past.

Its all in the nature of the celebration. A pat on the back and thanks to the troops who did a difficult job? Entirely appropriate. Yet another "America, Fuck Yeah!" tweet or Facebook status? Not so much. Death & war deserve a modicum of respect. We should regret that we had to perform a necessary evil, not proudly…

Maybe you misread. Installing a AOSP-based ROM that has tethering baked in at an OS level is more involved than simply rooting (and sideloading an app).

That's the thing - I've yet to see anyone disagree that he was scum. Even if they're out there, that's not the mentality expressed in the quotes above, so we certainly aren't arguing about it here. He was scum, and he needed killing. But celebrating any death like my team just won the fucking superbowl just makes me a…

@FaceTimeSmoke - Analogy fail. Santa doesn't exist, but out of kindness for childhood innocence, we don't shatter their illusions on the subject. Do you really want me to continue..?

That's OK, bullshit rants celebrating your superiority over those who share opinions different from your own prove you are a douche.

Others have pointed out you need to shop around, I'll leave that to a "Yep."

We've had these things for a few years now in MD. We live on a mountain, and seem to be spared the huge influx my friends just a few miles away (and down the valley) get, probably because of the cooler weather. Still, they're a nuisance. My favorite killing method - Give them a good flick. It doesn't seem to trigger…
