Two, one to complain about it, the other will stand up thank goodness that someone finally dimmed the bright ball overhead.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Our dearest Auntie Beeb reports[^] that Boeing has made such a phone.
I assume it will based on a self-destructing battery? They have plenty of experience they can call on from their Dreamliner.

Well...I did have one design where the PSU was controlled by a small PIC. The hardware guy did tell me that I had to be careful, as the wrong combination of PIC outputs could effectively switch 400VDC onto the 5V rail.
So I hooked that to the main application software checksum failure... and made it switch after a number of failures 
We did for a while have an Indian distributor who then produced "his own machine" that had a rather high failure rate in the field...

My wife has an iPhone like that. It just gave up the ghost this evening for no apparent reason.

Anyone else got a good number there? 'Cause it may be a while before that does overflow...

Oh yes!
The commute is a bugger - it can take me anything up to 20 seconds, if the cat gets in the way.

You do realize some foreigners take American names when they move here. It could be less than 5.
