I used The Scream as the image that comes up if my kids go to a blocked site.-daddydave (August 31, 2012, 01:11 PM)-40hz (August 31, 2012, 02:50 PM)
getting a Windows Phone(see attachment in previous post)-daddydave (August 31, 2012, 12:23 PM)-40hz (August 31, 2012, 12:32 PM)
I came to realize Android 4.x (ICS) is a firm requirement, because Android 4.0 is the first version that supports Devanagari script (and font management on Android seems to be about the same as font management on Palm OS, you'd have to either overwrite the one Unicode font or use an application specific font). I need this for my personal project of learning Hindi, which I have slacked off on lately.-daddydave (August 17, 2012, 05:04 PM)
(Please don't ask me what I consider to be the the most dangerous books ever written.There's two of them, isn't there? (Perhaps three, if you consider the first book to consist of and old and a new part).)

What makes Crisis interesting is that it appears to be specifically looking for virtualized environments and is therefore believed to be the first malware to spread onto a virtual machine.
Looks like they left out an adverbial phrase there.-daddydave (August 24, 2012, 12:28 PM)

Whatever you do, don't be tempted to get an older Galaxy S II unless it has Ice Cream Sandwich installed OEM. They are very nice phones, but I have dealt with too many horror stories of people who had one with Gingerbread, did the update to ICS and it completely broke multiple functionalities. If you find, like, and purchase one with Gingerbread, DO NOT UPDATE IT. It is not worth the pain...-Edvard (August 14, 2012, 12:03 PM)
Interesting article here: Why I'm ditching the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, about why a Verizon contract Galaxy Nexus isn't a real Galaxy Nexus. He switched to a $30/month T-Mobile prepaid plan.-daddydave (August 19, 2012, 08:15 AM)
In the end, the success or failure of a movie depends on critical mass and the ability to hit a cross-section a combination of things, not the opinion of one particular person.-wraith808 (August 22, 2012, 09:47 AM)
Even hitting that, it still doesn't allow for individual tastes. It's sort of like that conversation we had on why people make new software. I usually try to find a couple of critics that seem to grade and think the way that I do, then follow them. It's better to me than some random cross section- whether it is critics or the general masses.(emphasis mine)
If their search results are still based on relevance, but they also have a shopping results tab, then it seems like its two different parts of the service.-wraith808 (August 21, 2012, 06:45 AM)
Products and offers that match your query. Google is compensated by some of these merchants. Payment is one of several factors used to rank these results.
Google previously stated that it would only base search results based on relevance.-Renegade (August 21, 2012, 06:19 AM)
So I decided to ratchet up my battery talk time (according to the Phone Arena database) to an insane 20 hours (since they don't show data use time).-daddydave (August 17, 2012, 05:04 PM)
