How the hell can you "pirate" something you are licensed to use? This is why it is a bone-head move to use the term piracy when you obviously mean unlicensed distribution.
What about all the people who need denatured alcohols in an industrial or commercial fashion? I'm a construction contractor and I use all the time as a solvent. I for one would rather not have to pay those taxes.
If they chose to drink something that is clearly harmful, why should I give a damn?
This is why one should learn how to place their vehicle in neutral BEFORE they attempt to drive it. I'm not trying to shift blame from Toyota for this but each of us bear a responsibility to fully understand how to operate the vehicles we drive.
Sadly thats not true either. I've had an entire account suspended and all my data deleted because there was a file on the server named mission_impossible.txt
It was a document containing plans for summer trip to alaska...
Its because our version of google maps does not support pinch zooming. Presumably, this is due to agreements between apple and google, but evidently google has decided to do away with it.
HTC ships their software with pinch to zoom support so our devices utilize it fine.
Thats true, but I a) Don't intend to change providers and b) only payed $99 for my Hero. Outright it's $479 and I don't think I can get much cheaper than my $69 dollar unlimited messaging/data/anymobile plan from sprint.
Ah, that explains it. My android experience has been limited to the Hero and the Droid Eris, essentially the same handset. Although I did recall hearing that the Moto Droid was supposed to have it. After research, its supposedly coming in 2010.
They also destroy Doppler Radar and can interfere with phone, radio, and television reception for people living near them. They also raise temperatures nearby by a few degrees and tend to pull drier air to the surface which increases evaporation.
That is all beside the point that they require redundancy of another power plant because they can't generate when the wind isn't blowing.
They have their place but it is not to generate power for households. Set them up at large manufacturing and factories and lessen the need for fuel generated power there.
While that is true, a nuclear power plant provides an energy density many orders of magnitude higher. I for one would prefer to see a single nuclear plant on the horizon than 8000 turbines in every direction.
Regardless of what you want, if the situation arose that you needed to access a flash site for some reason, wouldn't you want to be able to? It doesn't mean you have to use it 24/7.
Have you tried SeaMonkey from mozilla? If you liked early firefox but hated the bloat, you might like it. Its more similar to the original mozilla suite but it is simple and clean. Might be right up your alley.
rainforestcafe.com works on my HTC Hero(android 1.5) just fine. It's certainly not snappy, but perfectly usable considering its a mobile phone.
Flash is not out of the realm of an affordable smartphone. The hero and droid eris are both had for under $100 out of pocket and handle this stuff just fine.
I do the same with music. I pay for monthly access to DRM'd music, but I just recently replaced my mp3 player with a new smart phone. Incidentally, the phone isn't supported.
So, to use the content I pay to use, I have to spend hours torrenting the stuff. DRM is fail.
You are describing the precise reason people get behind open source software. I'm not a Linux zealot, but if, or better when, things get to that point, I'm fairly confident there will be options.
It wasn't a bailout, it was a loan, which they are already paying back. Go back to your fox/cnn/nbc news network and leave the intelligent people alone.
Agree. I have been with them for nearly 15 years and a couple times when I was tempted to try someone else, I promptly returned.
Service is reliable and consistent, call quality is very good, data service is fast and they treat long term customers very well. I pay nothing for phones, I get new phones after only 10 months and I never pay upgrade/activation fees. I also get to talk to a human when I call support and I NEVER have to get managers or higher-ups to get my issues handled.

It does exist. It was just released by skid-row.

Mean to say the only app we don't have pinch to zoom is Google maps. You are correct, it comes installed.
Its because our version of google maps does not support pinch zooming. Presumably, this is due to agreements between apple and google, but evidently google has decided to do away with it.

Yep, thanks to HTC we got that. The only app we don't have it on is Google Maps.
Its a rumor. HTC android devices support it on our apps and web browser. The only app that doesn't support it is google maps. /HTC Hero owner

Now I like my Hero even more :)

Android 2.0 and 2.1 support flash with their native browsers. Hell, even android 1.5 supported flash lite.
That being said, I do hope they release a version for us android folks. The N900 is nice, but the price is a bit off putting for the masses.

Grow up and start behaving as adults. Just because you own the device doesn't mean you can do as you please with it and continue to use their service.
Take the headlights off your car and put flashing blues on top and see if the DMV lets you continue to drive YOUR car on the roads.
Except that we are not talking about a monopoly.
Not true. You are completely able to simply refuse and not update. If you wish to continue using their service however, you must update.
Just because you own the device doesn't mean you have an unalienable right to use it on their network any way you chose.

I'm not sure if the G1 has the same utilities as the Hero, but there was a calibration tool on my phone that might help you with the accuracy.
