Get this man a Titan Pocket. But he's got bigger problems...

Wow, didn't realize this would appear in the PB subforum, my apologies! Mods, can you move it to a general or other appropriate forum, please? Thx!

Nice propaganda hit piece. Vice has really gone down the tubes in the last decade.

Yes, they really had to reach for details and stretch the truth to paint him in this light.

Just how unsecure is a Blackberry Classic?

I'd say using an Android without any patches for last few years is like playing Russian Roulette with three chambers filled. Using a Classic would be more like only one chamber filled. Either way odds are good your going to be ok.

But I find it's a game best not played at all....

You're basically telling everyone here that if they're using a no-longer patched Droid, they have 1/2 chance of having their data hacked/harvested

Which is absolutely the farthest thing from the truth or even close to it.

You honesty feel he literally means 50%? Really?

For Russian Roulette, the deadly game is commonly associated with six-shot revolvers. When playing with a single bullet, mathematically, the average number of consecutive pulls of the trigger before the gun discharges is 3.5. After a single spin, the probability of it firing is ​1⁄6, followed by ​1⁄5 on the second pull, ​1⁄4 on the 3rd pull and so on, until if it failed to fire 5 times, the probability is ​1⁄1 (=1) on the final pull. If the cylinder is re-spun after each trigger pull, the probability of firing remains 1 in 6 on each occasion, and the probability of it having fired after 6 pulls is about 66.5%.

I always thought the idea was about the weight of the single bullet normally ending up at the bottom of the end of the spin, and therefore not significant chance of it being in the firing position.

How many bullets did they load in that famous Deer Hunter scene? Three, four?

Edit: Apparently it was three.

I recently put my cobalt blue classic up on kijiji (like a Craigs list for canucks) just to see the interest etc - lots of people from the Jane/Finch area of Toronto (read: the most dangerous and crime ridden area of the 5th largest city in North America) wanted to buy my phone (or mug me)!!! I wonder if his henchmen are out looking for sexy classics for him to use.
