Those 3rd parties should be required to provide working drivers for the hardware in their phone, in source form, and whoever maintains the OS (Google I suppose, or maybe some industry co-operation) should take it from there.
Are you advocating that Google make their OS inherently compatible with all manufacturers that give them the source to their drivers or that the manufacturer should make the source to their drivers public? Neither of those are ever going to happen.
The situation is a quagmire of Google not having control of the hardware while most manufacturers don't care to update the software. Apple of course gets around this by controlling both, but that's not exactly desirable either from my standpoint. The same problem exists with Windows where a new version (XP->Vista/7, 7->8/10) causes drivers to break and manufacturers are required to update their software for the new OS.
The solution is actually pretty simple. Either A) make your purchasing decision based on the *current* feature set and treat any updates as gravy or B) make sure to purchase from a manufacturer with a good track record of releasing updates.
Putting lots of money into a superPAC (ie: ad campaign for the politicians it gets donated to) is just a giant waste of money which ironically is what the GW deniers say is the biggest problem with supporting a solution. It's true that without a superPAC it probably won't get much traction, but the same is true for ending the war on drugs. You're confusing a symptom with the original problem which is of course Citizens United.
I think the operative word in your first paragraph is "unintended". If it's known upfront things can be done differently (or not at all). Yeah people like to feel good about themselves, but that doesn't mean good deeds for the sake of real altruism isn't real.
Look they honored the unlimited data prices for the next contract period. How many *new* contracts are they morally obligated to renew at the reduced rate to not "breach your trust". All contracts end.
(And if you're curious, most LTE implementations use OFDMA. Mathematically it's a lot like CDMA, except using orthogonal frequencies instead of orthogonal codes. The orthogonality is what allows you to pick out a specific phone's signal even though all phones are transmitting simultaneously.
That's really not at all true. Here. OFDMA just increases the usable frequency range for FDMA, which splits users into different bands (channels). In CDMA all users take a lot of bandwidth and the receiver filters them out using codes or somesuch.
Fossil fuels are literally made from fossils of long dead organic organisms. If we found fossil fuels on mars the bigger story would be that there was enough life at one point to create it.
You're quoting from the 2012 version (which is rated gold btw). From the 2014 version (bronze for some reason) it says:
What works
Almost everything, the core modeling functions are usable for production work.
It's true though, the program is not made for Linux and will always have some issues (minor or not). Upgrading will be a pain etc. My point was just that you could use it as a daily-driver OS if you were stubborn enough, and that games are really what requires full support.
I don't know what you're waiting for then. Last time I checked Word and SolidWorks work great under wine. It's unfortunately only games that aren't worth the performance hit running in wine.
Yes, 808 dpi is complete and total overkill, unless you've got superb eyes and are in the habit of holding your phone as close to them as you can focus while looking at high contrast stationary images.
You mean like when you've got the phone strapped to your head in VR mode?
The problem is Google Play Services. As much as Google pushes their documentation and API notes about saving battery life, they take none of their own advice. GPServices will create hundreds of alarms (device wakeups) and wakelocks for syncing and tracking your location etc.
Fortunately this can be fixed if you're at least rooted. With tasker you can have sync automatically turn on and off (or the entire data connection) to limit usage. If your bootloader is unlocked you can install xposed with the Amplify module to literally put an exact limit on the rate of alarms and wakelocks. The Greenify module helps too. With light usage on a G3 my battery drains 2%/hr. After that it's all the screen, and I notice a lot of people never turn their screen off and just wait for it to timeout which adds up throughout the day.
The most recent time I was already on an introductory rate ($45/mo for 30 megabit) but found an even lower intro ($34/mo for same) rate at the competing ISP. Person1 had the audacity to say "I think you're already getting a pretty good rate". I was tempted to not even give them the opportunity to keep my subscription at that point.
Maybe he was right. And if another company was offering the same for less, maybe you should have taken them up on it instead of giving your business to the ones that make you wait on hold for an hour every year. Never price-match. Reward the companies that are providing the lower price to begin with.
I never understood why browsers don't come with a "sound off" feature or something. I have flashblock which helps the most, but now with HTML5 this really needs to be built into the browser.

The sun? Is this a legitimate question or are you making a point that I can't see.

I doubt this is based on "new ideas" as they're still looking for a writer apparently.
Hate to reply to myself, but the whoosh is mounting. Maybe I'm just not that funny.
I'm thinking about buying a GTX 700-series card from NewEgg. Do you have any advice?

Do you have any actual evidence to back this up?

Why do people keep using that word?
It wasn't just McCain's age though. It was his age coupled with Palin's proximity to the presidency.

Right, not to mention live football is a bit easier to give up than internet access.

Jesus, what company do you work for that makes you debug sims on a plane? I can barely manage it at home.

Seriously though, who prints stuff outside of work anyway?
People who shop online. Any return requires a pre-paid shipping label and RMA slip.
No you don't understand. This is REVOLUTIONARY!
Google Maps will do this soon if not already
