Being without a phone sucks... Take it from someone who has a phone that is out of service more often than it's in service :/

Eh, could be worse.  My old phone had a nasty habit of semi-crashing in mid-call (i.e. the phone would become completely unresponsive, requiring a battery pull to do anything), running out of battery way before the advertised life of the phone (I got maybe an hour talk, far less with the screen on), and suddenly refusing to talk to the cellular network.  Basically, the specific issue that I'd see would depend on the version of Android that I had on it at the time.  Sadly, the stock firmware was actually worse in terms of battery life.

Android on the HTC Dream made me want to go back to using a Motorola dumbphone (specifically, my old V3x -- beat to hell, but still works amazingly well).

So does anyone even care about Bradly Manning? I feel disgusted at the way no one cares, or supports the way he's being treated.

The way that he's being treated and the way that certain parties are treating him (i.e. calling for the death penalty) makes me absolutely livid.

If his actions directly caused innocent parties harm, that would be a different story.  Based on everything I've seen, his actions brought to light atrocities ("Collateral Murder"), caused due scrutiny in internal affairs (the diplomatic cables leak), and brought to light an incredible lack of security in our military.  Why on earth would a private first class have access to that kind of data?  Furthermore, why in the hell would he be permitted to bring recordable media into a secure area?

I think he should be given a goddamned medal, not this shit.

If someone like that can manage to get that much information from a supposedly secure system, then there are definitely flaws. The government should have apologized profusely to everyone affected by Collateral Murder, and reprimanded everyone responsible. As for the security breach, they should have said something like "well shit, this proves that we need to tighten security". I mean, if the military can keep what actually goes on in places like Area 51 a secret from the public, they should damn well be able to keep diplomatic cables under better security (and whatever else he had access to that he didn't remove).
This is going in my sig. :)

That's great that he's gonna be getting out soon.

And yeah, it always sucks when people say they'll do something, and then just don't.

It really annoys me when people talk about searching for "planets with the conditions to support life."  I literally want to scream "AS WE KNOW IT" immediately after I hear someone say that.  The assumption that any other interplanetary life has to have the exact same structure and makeup as Earth life is beyond arrogant.
