Okay, but do the devices do this if 'Location Services' are turned off. And I assume Cydia will now get an app that forces them off if the os ignores the setting.

would be a good text "host" but needs clones, so that when it disappears in a few years I can still easily convert my urls back into the document therein. that's the one problem these text host sites have. they never last. this gets around

"Think of the children" wins the day every time. As it probably should, in this case, because we're not giving up a lot. People think that one child abused is one too many, which is hard to argue. But yes, you can argue that blocking entire

They still exist and I've pressed them just before thumping the desk. Is there a greasemonkey script to get the browser to ignore them; are there extensions for any browser to do this without greasemonkey? or with a user stylesheet? input[.

I'm still waiting to get my data back. I HATE losing data. Yes, it sours us on the cloud. But I'm OCD about keeping data. I take it nobody got their data back. I need it back. (I know it's partly my fault.) When I have enough I'll be spendi

I don't agree with a lot of the predictions in this article. I was just surprised nobody had already posted it. Price mechanisms (food being expensive) only work when there is elasticity of supply - ie when it is possible to produce more. W
