"weather, traffic, driver, " is all very interesting, but irrelevant to decision to put global 90kmph limit unless otherwise stated.
This is pure money-grab, plain and simple. On my street entrance there's a sign of 30kmph (sic!). Some people are able to run faster.
"speed advisories" is good idea, and another word for it is "common sense".
Re: Re: Go to torrent site of your choice and find your "data"
There's no scientific method to determine whether particular download is lost sale or not. Not even statistically. Sorry Mike, but your claims about "but sales are up, so it's clearly promotion" is completely bogus. Here's alternative explanation - movies (music/software) is better, so sales are up. Sounds not less scientific to me.
Moreover, industry claim about "if movie can be downloaded for free, who will buy?" is logically correct and consistent with my personal experience.
Yes, piracy is promotion. But for one and only reason only - it is illegal. Make it legal - and "tragedy of commons" will collapse movie industry overnight.

I'm talking about stories appearing here. They are about Pirate Bay.

Usually I'm agree with Mike on copyright issues, but let's be honest - actual numbers of piracy are very high. You can argue about effects of piracy (promotion vs lost sales), but you can't change the raw fact - "Pirate Bay" and similar sites built and operate because of piracy.
Stories about legitimate use - are insignificant. Bandwidth is pretty cheap today, and everyone who want to spread his works can setup server for downloading with little to no effort. Nobody "discover" anything on Pirate Bay, simply because site is not allow to discover things - only search for specific items.
I'm all for copyright reform, but putting clear bullshit as arguments doesn't help match.
Condensation humidity is known problem, next question?
Water is water, no matter wherever it came from. No wonder it tripped sensors - your device was effectively "immersed in water". You probably should not be doing this kind of test on equipment specifically built for this purpose.
People drop their phone to all kind of places. All the time. And if you think phone should be built for this kind of situation - think again. Phone that can sustain water/dust/droppings will look like military communication device (usually carried on the back). And will cost appropriately.
You payed $100 for touch-screen beauty - be careful or pay for replacement.
