Scruit

I requested dashcam of the roadrager stop because it contained evidence the the road rager lied to the police - after the officer had me turn my dashcam off the conversation I had with him indicated the officer had been told the damage was done in a collision, not by an intentional door swing. I thought that would be useful evidence if the RR tried to refute my video. Filed the proper request, ignored. Filed again, ignored. File again, "Expired". I got the 911 tapes in a couple days in which he incriminated himself to the 911 operator so as it turned out attacking my video would have done no good.

Wait, did you just implicitly accept that I didn't make the battery thing up? Did we just have a moment here? Or do you still think I'm lying?

Apple offers a battery exchange program for that one time every two years you need to do it.

Just Motorola? Then why did my colleague's S3 get so hot he had to take it out his pocket? No apps running. Hot enough to be painful against skin. My DroidX always got hot when running pandora/waze etc.

I have no complaint about the S3 except from what my colleague at work has complained about. I was going to get an S3 based upon his initial review but after his phone was "updated" (he said to ICS - I'll ask him to confirm) he started having software issues. His wife's had issues from the start. Considering I was counting the days until I could upgrade away from my crappy DroidX, hearing about his S3 having similar problems drove me to Apple. Personal choice. After having owned both an android phone and an iPhone I have a more balanced viewpoint. iPhone pros (versus my droidx) - Faster - Better screen - Reliability - VPN without rooting... I can hook it up to my NAS at home while I'm on the road and use my files. (KeePass etc) - Better touchscreen - Better voice recognition - More accurate keyboard iPhone cons (versus my droidx) - No good call blocker on the market (my droid had a 3rd party app with commmunity-shared blacklist feature) - I've heard maps are bad but haven't had any problems myself - Non-standard charging cable is a pain. Got more cables or order. - No OEM car dock yet.

I tried to listen to pandora on my DroidX while riding for an hour one time. After 30 minutes it overheated and shut down with a heat warning. I had to rig the phone up to dangle in the air while I was riding to cool it down.

Making things up, huh? You sure put me in my place. Anyways, back on planet earth, a depressingly common DroidX complaint is loss of GPS signal due to a short circuit developing when on of the gold pins in the body of the phone scratches off the paint on the battery cover and exposes bare metal to short against. https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/652659 The scratch is caused by repeated removal and replacement of the battery cover. You, know like when someone has to pop the battery out to reboot the phone... Or I could be just making things up.

ORLY? 1. Bigger by 1/4" on each dimension. Big whoop. 2. The screen can be removed and the battery can be replaced. There's torx head microscrews either side of the charging port. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57517433-37/inside-the-iphone-5-bigger-battery-easier-to-repair/ 3. I got the 64Gb iPhone so I'm not concerned about the memory size - and replacing the card in my DroidX was the quickest way to F-up the phone when stuff was suddenly missing 4. Apple apps work just as well. (maps excluded) 5. App Store works just as well. 6. I'll let you know if I run out of memory. You know why droid phones have batteries that are easy to remove? Because you have to remove them frequently to reboot the damn things. Another HUGE plus for the iP5 for me is that I can VPN into my work and then ssh into the linux servers I work with. I can do remote troubleshooting on my phone with the only drawback being cut/paste is not as easy as in putty. All I would have to root an android phone for VPN functionality.

When I had a run-in with a road rager the responding officer asked me to turn my dashcam off. I did, not knowing what the law was (and needing him to be on my side). When I consulted with the prosecutor regarding the prosecution of the road rager (using my dashcam footage of the incident) he told me that the police cannot force me to stop recording unless the act of recording is interfering with official business. Examples he gave were recording while I was being arrested, patted down etc. Also, a bystander getting too close to the action while recording can interfere with official business if he gets close enough to the officer to become a distraction / make the officer concerned fir his own safety (is he gonna drop that camera and attack me if I let him too close) or for the safety of the person with the camera (if you enter into a crime scene, accident scene or other location where it is not safe for you to be) As long as you don't interfere or obstruct you can record in public as much as you want. Beware that an officer's interpretation of "interfere" may be more strict than yours, and getting belligerent may get you arrested and charged. You may beat the charge, but you won't beat the ride.

Was considering S3 but my work colleague and his wife got S3s each and they are constantly having to reboot them, like a couple times a week. ICS made it worse. She wants to return hers because it is so buggy. My buddy had to take his out of his pocket yesterday because it got too hot to be comfortable against his skin. We checked for running apps but nothing. My DroidX cannot understand my accent. Siri has no trouble.

That guy used brake parts cleaner to clean metal he was welding and a small pocket on BPC in a pit on the metal flashed to a vapor of phosgene. http://www.brewracingframes.com/id75.htm

If I am wrong then you made no claim in the first place.

1.44Mb HD disks? Too mainstream. 360k 5.25" is where it's at.

Yes.

So you agree with me, but I'm still wrong for some reason? If someone kicked his ass I'd call it karma.

Didn't figure that bullying and death threats were fun, so I guess yes.

* at our beck and call. (trying to be helpful )

The point the drive's mom made was that it takes longer to load the kid's wheelchair than it does for a kid to board the bus walking, so it's more than 20 second. Maybe a couple of minutes? Still, absolutely no excuse. It was an extremely dangerous maneuver, breaking multiple laws all out of selfishness. The building she drove on the sidewalk in front of is a daycare! I think her driver's license needs to be suspended.

Where did "this side of the atlantic" come from? The story says the police are involved and I said they can't do anything. The British police are not relevant to this story (and if asked, they would say they can't do anything either - they enforce laws, not decorum)

I think I covered that in the "assh*le" part of my response. I was commenting that the death threats he is receiving are an overreaction.

I didn't see any mocking on the video? Was that the 3-pixel blob in blue? Better vid? Not much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGQ519KXTMo So he walks funny and people are issuing death threats against him? Slight overreaction maybe? He may be an assh*le but being an assh*le is not illegal so I don't know what the police are going to do about it.

People on the internet can't spell. And they get pissed if you point it out. If yu kant beet dem, joyne em?
