My Nexus6 wont connect to wifi in China if the phone is connected .... why? because Google considers a network to be seriously broken if you can't access Google's servers .... so Google thinks your expensive roaming connection is the only valid connection you have

You can get around this by doing the counter intuitive going into flight mode and then tuirning on wifi

While it's arguable that the connection IS broken it's still useful (wechat works for example) even if you're stuck with bing

I suffered from having a fax machine with a number one off of a local pharmacy's .... I got everyone's medical secrets

for heaven's sake grow up - if you really believe this, and aren't just trolling, and have actually escaped your parents' basement, then stop posting as the eponymous Anonymous Coward

This suit is not about the US govt stopping the President from having his/her say .... it's about the president (ie the govt) stopping citizens from having their say - this is a suit from people who have been silenced and are unable to respond to Trump's tweets

he designed dishwashers ...

it's not Big Brother looking after you, it's simply Harvard applying a douche filter to enroll a better class of students

When I visit other countries, including the US, I often buy a SIM card, get a temporary phone number, now some orange dingbat in the US tells me I was supposed to have remembered all those phone numbers I've had over the past 5 years.

Oh, and I design VOIP hardware and software .... do you want ALL those numbers too? I can't remember them, is it a big form? lots of room

Don't you guys have an NSA or something to keep track of all this stuff for us

Yes just think about us poor unfortunates 'Down Under' with our gigabit fibre to the home ....

Australia may have bungled its fibre rollout, but NZ's seems to be sailing ahead ....

Can I have the password so I can look through your laptop?

No it's in my checked baggage I haven't got to the baggage carousel yet

They haven't thought this through have they

Surely you mean "Click through for more information, and the list of the 22 U.S. cities being suggested for hyperloop destinations."

Unless of course they're makng a big star with a switch in the middle

So when NASA tells us that invisible planets light years away are real we all clap, but when it tells us that climate change right here is happening some how it's all a big con?

No for the past 30 years you've been competing on the world stage ... and failing ....

The problem is that you want trading partners that will sell you cheap stuff, but want to sell your own stuff at far higher prices ... a free and open market doesn't work that way

Seriously think about how kids learn how to use and appreciate money - using an ATM card is just not the same as holding coins, counting them, feeling the weight in your pocket.

And (USA I'm looking at you) start including sales tax in advertised prices - explaining to a 5 year old that yes he has enough for that ice cream, but he has to calculate 6% in his head and add that to the price, is just insane

I've looked back through this thread and can't for the life of me figure out who SJW is that you are responding to .... is it someone you just made up?

You are confusing the state budget with the ratio of federal taxes and money received back from the feds - they are quite different things

California's budget is deeply hamstrung by Regan era meddling that makes hard to raise money for simple things like schools - it's the main reason why the state's schools used to be rated #1 in the nation and are now at the bottom
