[quote who="2of3" reply="191" id="3386046"] The Lumia 1020 looks promising, but for now I'm still sticking to Android.[/quote] I'm curious, would you mind elaborating as to what is keeping you from switching? Is it your ecosystem investment? I have had a few friends recently switch (some of whom were actually pretty heavily invested in the droid ecosystem) so I'm always curious for reasons either way...... ;)
Hankers is correct......well partly correct. There haven't just been the 'two sides of AGW' discussed here. Some of us have also posted about our life philosophies as they relate to the environment which to me anyway, is the part of this thread which is most interesting. I mean in the end does it really matter that we 'chose a side' in the AGW debate? Have we 'won'
While I don't disagree with the overall sentiment of this thread I think that how an individual processes thoughts/emotions etc. is inextricably linked to one's current status in life. It is easy for the non-addict to forget that the addict's mind doesn't make connections and process thought like that of a non-addict. It is easy to forget how the pressures of day-to-day living can suppress the ability for calmer rationale when viewed from a more
8 months of Lumia 920 and I have this to say...... I still miss my Blackberry QWERTY keyboard (I don't think I will ever stop hating touchscreens for typing) but hey.....one can't have everything eh?

Thanks for posting this Doc. Emsisoft software has been part of my 'techie-toolkit' for years along with fast cloud-scanners like Hitman Pro etc. I absolutely agree that people should make themselves a USB stick with this 'emergency toolkit' software on it. Invaluable.
Yeah eh? I still maintain I do not pronounce it a-boot........I pronounce it a-baoww-t ! (at least in my head I do....hehe)

Very cool! I absolutely loved the first Syndicate game (wasn't such a fan of the second iteration though). Man that brings back memories.........back then Syndicate and Crusader No Remorse were among my favourite games. I'll be watching this closely from now on.........thanks for the tip!
We humans [b]are[/b] affecting this planet. It is impossible (not improbable) that our existence on this planet would leave this planet unchanged (notice I did not say unscathed, as not all change is necessarily bad change). Without entering into an argument about [I]how much[/I] we effect change; wouldn't any human with a level of (as I referred to it earlier) 'responsible intelligence' choose to ensure such change be as least damaging as possible?
[quote who="petrossa" reply="99" id="3375837"] Glad you got the point that this whole claptrap about 'stewardship' is utter malarkey. If push comes to shove you'll kill every last animal to feed your starving kids, chop the last tree on earth to prevent your kids dying from hypothermia. 'Stewardship' is an insult to the 80% of the world on a subsistence level by comparing your mighty fight for humankind to their suffering. As if they have the choice t

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="18" id="3373738"] the_Monk, those pictures and the short segments are certainly worthy of being considered art. I had the good fortune to see the Mendenhall Glacier before it ultimately disappears.[/quote] That must have been truly awesome. I know I live in Canada and should really be bored with snow/ice, but ice of that magnitude has always seemed so 'alive' to me.
I saw an interesting film a while ago called "Chasing Ice". http://www.chasingice.com/ In it James Balog makes some interesting if not thought-provoking points. Pictures do speak volumes more than words alone and his film is one of the less 'soapbox' type (he mostly lets his pictures do the talking). I found the film put 'climate change' and the debate(s) around the topi

The first game ( 'PAYDAY : The Heist' ) was epic 4-player coop fun (of course it was almost a direct copy of Left 4 Dead if you replace the 'survivors' with a group of thieves and the 'zombies' with police...hehe)...........this one will be even more epic........oh and speaking of 'epicness'.......the soundtrack.......wow....the soundtrack to the original was/is still one of the best in-game soundtracks since the pinnacle of game soundtracks (Hom

EDIT: Please ignore this thread. As Doc pointed out a thread on this topic already exists. Thanks.
I also second the suggestion for looking into security software on your droid. Both windows phone and ios are more 'locked down' than droid and while not necessarily more inherently secure the apps for same also tend to undergo more scrutiny. In the end I would say it comes down to [I]how[/I] one uses the OS platform. If you are the type of person who buys a phone, adds one or two well known apps and uses the phone mostly 'stock' and are prudent wh
Hate to sound like a broken record people, but better 'OS-at-boot-time-protection' comes from not running your system as admin. If your system boots and you login to a 'limited' user account you have just done more to protect your system at subsequent 'boot-times' than anything else. Just that tiny little detail will do more to protect your system from threats (as well as yourself) than [u]any[/u] of those products listed above.... <s
