They are rather slow because you are buying the cheapest one. Buy a class 10 or higher card to get the speed. Every single person I have found that complains about phone speed has a micro SD card inserted that was the cheapest they could find. replacing it with a top of the line highest speed card resulted in a 50% speed increase or more to the phone.
Sadly most stores carry the crap Class 4 cards, you have to order online fast cards.
The stop wearing skinny jeans. Cripes I can fit a Dell streak 5, the largest cellphone made in 15 years, in the front pocket of a standard pair of jeans. What the hell is it with you people that are wearing skin tight skinny jeans or infant jeans with tiny pockets.
" your phone price jumps in disproportionate amounts to the memory it has onboard."
no it doesn't. Nexus 7 8 and 16 gig jumps the price of a class 16 high end 8 gig memory card. Just because they dont choose to use the crappiest class 4 memory that you would choose does not make it disproportionate. They use the fastest flash they can to keep the speed of the phone up or they get the same people whining.
Only fools look at the cheapest memory card price and whine about the price differences, mostly because they know nothing at all about Flash memory.
You are not making that same foolish mistake are you?
Honestly, they just cant compete with iOS and Android. and with the latest release of android, Google just upped their game hard. Now all they need to do is tell handset makers that if they dont use the latest version they cant call it android or use any android branding to help flush off the craptastic 2.3.3 gingerbread phones that are still coming out.
"Who owns a system that still cannot run 64bit software?"
I have plenty of them. Two routers that are still 32 bit only. I have several embedded PC104 industrial computers that are running robotics that are 32 bit only.
you know, those of us doing REAL work with computers. We need the older 32 bit Linux OS builds.
"I don't think I've seen a 32-bit app that won't run on 64 bit Windows."
I have plenty here. Old apps for programming older integration software, Car ECM programming, etc.... All fail under Windows X86. I have a old laptop with windows 2000 installed on it for using these programs.
If you get in on a torrent when it first is released and get out as soon as you download it because you are in a repressive country like the USA, they havent even started monitoring it by the time you already quit and your IP had fallen off. RSS feeds of TV shows are your friend along with a modified program that stops seeding as soon as you have it downloaded.
What she did, went to the book store before class and bough a new book, let him look, returned it after class and used the amazon.com 1/4 price used book instead.
Yup RV's lose 50% of their value the second you buy them. and then they race to ZERO rapidly. the Motorcoaches that were $1,000,000 new seem to stop dropping in value when they hit the $100,000 mark, but that is only because they plateau off at a certian level and then drop fast again.
The other thing is that 99% of people that buy them new do not maintain them properly. a roof leak can take 80% of the value of the RV as water damage is nasty expensive to repair.
In fact current hydroponic systems reduce that space needed by 1/4. If money was actually spent on research they could further reduce the space needed to process Co2 and generate O2 by using plant material.
And WHY use nuclear powered? we could easily put up solar farms. yes you have to deal with the face that the lunar days are 28 earth days but storage can deal with that. You dont have weather to contend with, so every day period will be a perfect charging period.
I personally think go big or go home, launch and install a 20MW nuclear power plant if they want to go nuclear.
http://kz-rv.com/inferno/index.html The previous owner in TX bought it with every possible option and had the gas station added by another RV shop. he went camping twice in it and then got divorced. The Ex wife wanted $55,000 for it and I was the only person that made an offer so she took it.
The painful part was the $900 in gas to go down drag it back to Michigan.
I have a better camper than most people have as apartments in NYC.
#1 - strip your RV of ALL fancy vinyl graphics and paint it stark white. You need urban camouflage. Bonus to add AT&T or VERIZON logo graphics on it to further make it look like a Company work trailer.
#2 - All Walmarts let you boondock in their parking lots for 2 nights without hassle. more if you go to the edge and look unobtrusive. The camouflage works here too.
#3 - Buy and install Limo Tint on all the RV windows. also install black curtains on all windows so at night nobody outside can see that you are inside. A cop will investigate your Rig, but if it looks like a corporate work RV and nobody is in it, he will go away after checking that it is secure. Putting lettering by the door that says "Fiberoptic Splicing TRAILER" help convince a cop you belong there.
#4 - learn where fill and dump stations are, but try to not use your toilet in the RV unless you have to. It is a lot easier to find where to fill up fresh water at, and you can dump the grey water on the ground. but finding a dump station to get rid of all your turds is not a fun part of doing this. Leave your duces at restaurants and stores.
#5 - if you dont own the RV, get a "toy hauler" that has a garage. that way you can bring a scooter, Motorcycle or Smartcar and not burn 3mpg gas driving around.
#6 - unless you get an insane deal. do NOT buy a motor-home. Motor-homes are crap compared to a pickup truck and 5th wheel. Why? if you have any breakdown on your truck, you can park and get the truck fixed. If the Motor-home breaks down, you are in a hotel for a week while the RV repair center rapes you and your wallet over and over again. Having your 5th wheel towed to a local KOA campground for a week is a lot cheaper and you still have your home.
" I'm guessing he wants a "real" RV--the $100,000 40 foot ones" You dont know RV prices do you...
The morons that bought that $100,000 RV are now desperate to sell them. I picked up a 48 foot 5th wheel with TWO bedrooms and a freaking garage in it (it also has a gas station with a 30 gallon gas tank and gas pump) plus has a sealed and heated undercarriage for 4 season camping. Got it looking like new but 4 years old for $25,900.

You are not making that same foolish mistake are you?
There are several cracks and patches online that ditch it for you.
It's nice real world example that the Wrong CEO can utterly destroy a company almost overnight.
Right.... never used android or IOS have you.
I have a 4 year old iphone tat runs the latest OS.
I also have a 2 year old android phone that runs the latest android.
Tell us how the nokia is EXACTLY like the other phones again in how it cant be upgraded.
Still nobody will buy it.

They have a roll of FISA warrants next to the sink. Many of the guys here at the office mistakenly use them as paper towels.
I suggest you read the PATRIOT act and what pesky freedoms were removed that law enforcement hated to deal with.

FBI can legally spy on you. It's the CIA that cant legally spy on you.

My wife has one of those scumbag profs.
What she did, went to the book store before class and bough a new book, let him look, returned it after class and used the amazon.com 1/4 price used book instead.
Scumbag professors are easily outsmarted.
Sweeping? He named 2 people. I think you need to grab a dictionary and learn what the term "sweeping generalizations" mean.
No, that radiated heat from the reactor is used to heat the facilities. DUH.
Who said battery?

Only a complete moron would buy a new one.
