My iPhone's screen went kaput so my carrier (T-Mobile) send it to some repair shop and they sent me a new or refurbished iPhone. I transferred all my data (contacts, apps, music) with the restore function, but now my phone sometimes (couple of times a day) simlocking itself. Its' not on autolock. Any way to fix this?

Why do we do almost everything possible to haul out downed aircraft sitting on the Ocean floor, even something small like a trainer or a Cessna.
...but when a boat or ship goes down, we investigate it but usually just leave it.
Is it just for the black box, especially the flight data recorder?
Not completely.
I thought that was it at first, but when something goes down we grab debris, scrap, bodies
and often try to recreate it in a hanger - we collect pretty much anything that can be found. You probably already know they do this with commercial planes but private salvage companies do it too, for a cost. I know someone who is super rich because of it.
I ask because my Dad has owned a couple of big sportfish boats and he just got news that his last one sank off California. It came from New England. I have no idea how they got it there - way too big to ship on land as far as I know It was a 60 foot gorgeous thing with a huge back cockpit, tuna doors, tuna tower.
It had an EPIRB. I am pretty sure the EPIRB is just a signaling beacon though, and has no record of what systems failed. Kind of morbidly, many airplanes carry one too.
Anyway it sank in less than 100ft of water so it's totally accessible to an advanced diver on nitrox - and they're not going to pull it up, they're leaving it.
Any thoughts?

Here's a quick one for german speaking GAF. I'm not at the stage where I can write fluid prose in german, so what I usually do is think what I want to say in English, scribble it down, and then go back and try and translate it. So what I got here is:
"The iconic pictures of pure jubilation are testaments to the profound effect that the wall had on the german psyche"
I'm having trouble finding a good translation for testaments in this context. Dict.cc gives "Dokument" as the figurative term, but something about that just doesn't sit right with me and seeing that it's a formal essay I don't want to lose any marks for disambiguous meaning.
And seeing that I'm here, does anyone have an explanation to why the speed at which the backspace button deletes has suddenly decreased in the past 2 or so days when I hold it down? Before it was smooth as you would expect but now it's chugging along like an obese steam train

I know I'd never kill myself , but if I had to : I'd do this : get on some high building , get drunk , swallow some pills , jump , and shoot myself before I hit the floor .BroMezzano said:

Live out your life and don't get killed by any sort of unnatural way. You'll still accomplish your goal of dying and will have experienced your whole life like every person should.BroMezzano said:
There's not really any legitimate place to get them cheaply. I got that them at a discount but only because I live in florida. Make sure the first thing you do when you get there is get a ticket to the HP land thing. We didn't know you needed tickets, but when we went up to get in line (it would have been a 2 hour wait and there was only 2 and a half hours until the park closed) this nice tourist family came up to us and gave us their tickets since they had to leave. That was really great and made my little sister really happy. Have fun thereSonofdonCD said:

This is for you older GAF members out there. It's been told that earning money doesn't equate to happiness. I am from a family that is pressuring me to aim for a career that earns a lot of money.
What I'm asking is, is it worth getting all that money if you're not happy? I'd always think that if you earn a lot of money, you can get whatever you want. I love Japanese culture and photography and I'm hoping to do the JET program someday...But that won't probably happen because I'll end up doing med school or become an accountant or something. I really don't know what to do with my life. (I'm a sophomore in college).

As they say: money can't buy you happiness, but neither can poverty.
Keep in mind that JET isn't a permanent thing. There's nothing wrong with doing it, but you need something to fall back on when all is said and done. Get a well-rounded degree and try to pick up some skills via hobbies.
When I resize or move windows I don't see the entire contents of the window get re-sized or move in real-time anymore... this is driving me crazy. It used to do all of that, but now when I try to re-size a window or move a window, only an outline of the window expands/contracts.

There is no good way to die.BroMezzano said:
I thought I had found a way that was foolproof and painless, but not only was it drawn out, it was nerve-wracking, terrifying, and mind-shatteringly horrible.
The worst of it, though, is for those who are left behind. I knew how much it would hurt my mother to do it, but I was so overcome with despair that I felt like I had no choice. Your family will never be the same. They will be scarred for life, mourning and trying to come in terms with losing the life of their child. Losing a child is bad enough, but losing a child to suicide is one of the most painful things that a parent can ever endure. A part of them will always blame themselves for what happened.
You have to realize that you are ill. Every part of your body can get unwell; your brain is no different. When you get sick, you go to a doctor who can help you feel better. My depression controlled me for six years, and I never thought that I would EVER get the will to live again. But it's possible. With professional help, it's like you won't even be able to imagine the pain that you were going through before. Please, please, PLEASE give yourself this once chance to get better. Nobody can stop you, but you deserve to give yourself that chance. After all is said and done, what you do is up to you, but don't let your illness make that decision for you.
Please PM me if you want to talk. Find an adult/counselor that you trust, and talk to them about how you feel. As long as you are alive, it is never too late.

Just want to reiterate since it's already been said but you are sick. I don't mean that in a derogatory manner either, you literally have an illness called depression - it's hard for you to realize this because it's an illness that effects your brain, and in turn your thoughts, but it's there.BroMezzano said:
Your brain produces serotonin, that's a neurotransmitter that sends data around your brain. It's very prevalent and influences nerves, sleep, memory, mood, etc... if your brain isn't producing enough serotonin or if your receptors aren't functioning properly any one of these things can be affected. When these glitches occur people can experience OCD, panic, anxiety attacks and, most commonly, depression. Not to mention stress can limit your serotonin levels as well, which in turn can deter the creation of new brain cells. There's a strong theory that that leads to depression as well.
Just please realize you have a medical problem. You might be sad because of your current life situation, death, a girl perhaps, failed aspirations, but I guarantee you that if you're even contemplating suicide it is affecting you more than it would a normal, healthy, human being because of your disfunctioning brain chemistry.
Yes and no. Studies show that after a certain point--something like $75k/yr--additional money does not in fact make you any happier. Below that mark, less money could potentially mean less happiness (mainly due to stress over money), although do note that everyone is different in that regard.Villain said:
You also need to realize that nothing is worth a job and career that you don't like. What's the point removing stress due to money if you're just replacing it with stress due to hating your job?
Besides all this, remember that it is your life. Your family won't have to live with the consequences of your choices; you will. Your family won't have to get up in the morning and go to your job; you will. Your family won't have to deal with your boss, your coworkers, your career; you will. So don't let your family's ideas of what will make you happy dictate your choices.
Can you find a middle path? A way to both make a decent living and do something you love?
There are a few possibilities. One is to find a career that is not life-consuming (read: not a doctor) and leaves you free time to pursue what you love. One is to find a way to make what you love a viable career--this is difficult (can it even be monetized?), and probably requires some sacrifice (i.e. stop buying videogames and iPhones and so on all the time). One is to defer doing what you love, though that's a huge trap. You might consider reversing that--go on your JET program, take up a "normal" career when you return.
I dunno, I'm just throwing stuff out there. The upshot is, make your own decision, and try to hedge your bets.
Somehow Windows has triggered one of those malware/virus scans on my pc. Of course my AntiVirus software has expired so now its prompting me to purchase the upgrade or else my computer will melt and severely burn my genetalia.
Now instead of letting me just click, no thanks I'll take my chances, its blocking my internet explorer and redirecting it to the upgrade or else link.
What do I do to get that off of there? I've messed with the settings and whatnot but nothing I do gets me around it.

Is there a way to set separate applications to different audio outputs on W7?
For example:
I'm playing a steam game, and want that audio to come out of my PC speakers.
I have tv steaming through Google Chrome on my 2nd monitor, which has its own audio output (HDMI).
I can only get it so both come out one device (by setting that device to Default)
