Yes, transmission range is -very- short on bluetooth, but enough that the kabir cellphone worm infected close to 300000 cell phones before the fix was released
A wifi hacker can jack the connection and/or eavesdrop on it in under 1 minute - was actually done in < 20 seconds at the last major security conference held. It's relative. It's disabled on every device I have for that very reason.
Bluetooth is the spawn of satan - that being said...

If that's not enough to convince you how unstable and insecure bluetooth is and how credentials can be stolen, let me know and I'll provide more information.
I feel that the use of 'down to earth' is purely perspective-based, and also a state of mind. There are no set bounds as to what constitutes down to earth or not so mileage will vary, and with that.. it probably won't go far whatsoever.
I agree with Abra's thoughts on it as well, articulate/well-spoken as always.
You obviously missed the humor behind it.. that being said, if you want to fish up my threads and throw snide comments into them you might as well pull up something that's an in-depth discussion. Try the Iran thread, and add intelligent conversation, if it's possible.
It went well, comparatively. You were one of the first posters in it, with Adj and quite a few other of the regulars at that time - my first intro thread - May 4th, 06'.
The boycott thread is about discrimination in its finest form. Fact of the matter is that part of the US populace wants things how they want them and doesn't want to further their education. If one in the US loses a job to an immigrant due to education - good for the immigrant. Piss around long enough and time will both pass you by, and screw you over.
That's how this world works, and if one has no drive to further themselves I have no sympathy for them in the least bit. That being said, I feel that if you have an issue with those that can't speak English... pick up a book and learn another language. The keyword here is -diversity-.
Thank you for the clarification, had to ask - I figured you hadn't meant that if you can't be with the love of your life to just be in love with whoever happens to be there.
I can see the good side to a sports massage to warm up the muscles and things of that sort before competition or meets/games, but what about over-use of massage? Is there such a thing, and if so, how detrimental do you think it could be in the long-run? (10-15 years)
A chain gun is an automatic weapon, not a shotgun there chief... and as for the .75 cal, not one exists. You could have googled quickly and got misinformation upon reading though... and found the 76mm 62 cal - which is the Naval Mk 75.
You can't help someone if they don't want to help themselves. I'd rather draw stick figures than talk to a wall while they don't even attempt to grasp a simple concept.
RE: "Yo Momma"
I was following the concept of the thread, not trying to derail it - should have made that clear, my bad.
