Freedom that you can take as much of the software you want, fork it freely without (or with) giving back to the community. There is no legal obligations once you fork the code other then keeping existing copyright tags in the code.
In other words, you can make all the changes you want to the code - and support the code changes as the free software users change theirs
-or- you can release the software changes back to the community and let them change it with their code, and fork it again later
So it is free, forever, long as there is interest in the software and greater public interest then private interest - and even then the last public copy is still free. And its truly free as in you can call it your own, and profit from it without as much worry about lame lawsuits.
You are worried about TR-069?!? At least with TR-069 you know the equipment vendors and operators have a convention to allow only some remote provisioning... I mean, if they were devious, they could compile in back doors instead of TR-069. The farmacy has a pill that will make them stop chasing you.
Yes, it is. Tire sizes are measured like 225/40/17... second number indicates the sidewall height as a percentage of the treadwidth (first number, in MM). Third number is the size, in inches, of the rim.
I went from 205/80-16 to 265/70-16 The circumference of the original tire was 2307.19mm vs 2442.27mm That is, 433.43 revolutions per KM to 409.45 revolutions per KM
That means there is a 6% difference in my speedometer between the two tires (assuming the old tires were not worn, which they were)
My point is not just about tire size, but in fact, many speedometers are not accurate anyway, especially at high speeds.
I have failed many times at eating and driving - every time it's because I give priority to the driving. The results have meant that often I have to change, clean my car, and often buy more food and try again, or finish eating when I get to my destination. I have on more then one ocasion stuck myself with the straw or almost ate a napkin instead of a fry.
Just recently my Lexus rental broke down so they stuck me in an S60 - The Volvo system was MILES above anything else I had driven from a minimal distraction and easy to use while driving standpoint. It had the option to turn off the display automatically when idle, a pushable scroll wheel on the steering wheel, and full telephone and climate control buttons. The NAV screen was also close to the top of the dash and the A2DP/Bluetooth was awesome. Too bad the rest of the car was complete suckage and poorly equipped.
I drive sucks. In the Z4 I rented, I couldn't figure out how to turn the damn screen off. It is horrible to use and you need to maintain context because you will often bump it out of the menu you want to be in. I love the screen being near the window, but if you are going to put it there you should be able to turn off the backlight at night!!
Do you know that in fact they are actually going 10 or 15 over?
I have oversized tires on my Land Rover, and now when it says 100km/h on my speedo, I am actually doing 100km/h on the GPS. If I do 139 the 140km/h radar does not yet flash and I don't get a speeding ticket. Prior to getting the larger tires, I thought everyone was doing 160km/h... but they weren't... they were all doing 138km/h - because they didn't want a ticket either.
If I had been going 120km/h on my speedometer before, I would have been creating a 40km/h differential between myself and traffic which would be unsafe and would cost the people in the traffic much more in gas (them hitting the brakes and re-accellerating) then I would have saved.
Sure, it's stupid for people to race red light to red light, but some of us would rather not spend the whole day missing every green and fartzing behind some selfish ass in the far left going 10km/h under the limit because he thinks he's saving a few cents in fuel.
If I am on a dark empty two lane road, I often drive center so that way my lights shine further into the ditch to watch for moose on the opposite side. Obviously not when comming to hills or blind corners.
I also sometimes drive towards/over center in areas with street parking and high pedestrain activity - again, when visibility and traffic permits.
I have on more then one ocasion seen toddlers chasing balls come from between parked cars and animals bolt up from the ditch.
In the UAE, often nobody indicates their lane changes... but if you are driving defensively they don't crash into you. In North America, often we think "well if they hit me, it's their fault, so let them hit me. insurance will buy me a new car" - In UAE we think "No way he's hitting me, I don't want to wait for the police or have my car incompetitantly repaired or get 60% for my car"
But I think the point is that it shouldn't matter anyway.
Even if you have someone who is an XY female dominating the other females in her class, how is that any different then a runner who is 2' taller and thereby faster then his shorter competitors. Should the olympics be about fairness or the best amature atheletes competing?! Are they going to sort them all by size weight and muscel?!
My first car was a loaded, low mileage, 5spd, leather, $10k Nissan Maxima SE and I financed it. It was a great car. I made ~$36k/yr gross and my insurance was ~$3400/yr. My rent was $12,000/yr. I spent ~$7200 on food and over $2200 on fuel. After tax and everything I would have had to work more then a year to save for that car, but I likely would have made 10k less a year. In its lifetime I spent maybe $2k on maintenance. I later sold the car for $7k, and used the money towards a BMW coupe, meanwhile my insurance has since came down signficantly. Had I bought a cheaper car, I probably would have spent more on maintenance and lost more to depreciation. My insurance would not have come down as much as I couldn't have said "look, I been driving ~200hp vehichles my whole life and have a clean driving record" - had I not financed it, I couldn't afford it. I would not have the credit rating I have now either. I would still be living pay cheque to pay cheque wasting hours trying to get my groceries home.

NOTE: Errors during the flash reprogramming process can permanently damage the vehicle ECU. Minimize the risk by following the steps below. - Battery voltage MUST NOT FALL BELOW 11.4 volts during reprogramming. Confirm battery voltage is higher than 11.4 volts, but be sure voltage DOES NOT RISE ABOVE 16.0 volts during reprogramming. - Turn OFF all vehicle accessories (e.g. audio system, A/C, interior lights, DRL, etc.). Do NOT add to or significantly change the vehicle’s electrical load while reprogramming. - Confirm the hood is open and ensure under hood temperature does NOT exceed 158F (70C). - Confirm cable connections between the vehicle and Techstream are secure. - Do NOT disconnect or turn off Techstream or vehicle ignition during reprogramming. - Set parking brake. - Complete ALL flash calibration updates provided for each ECU. - If the battery’s state of charge or capacity are in question, test with SST. No. 00002–V8150–KIT “Digital Battery Analyzer”, and follow TSIB No. PG001–06, “Battery Maintenance for In–Stock Vehicles & Pre–Delivery”. To ensure stable battery voltage, a battery charger MUST be connected so: - Voltage does NOT fall below 11.4 volts. - Voltage does NOT exceed 16.0 volts.
Try looking at most mfgr technical infromation documents, like this PDF from Lexus Techstream: Step 1, read suppliment documentation & noticess Step 2, connect GR8 battery charger to maintain 13.5v http://www.lambros.net/LexusTechInfo/2007LS/L-SS002-07.pdf
If the window is generating electricity and the window will vibrate slightly from the sound waves in the room, will such vibrations change the efficiency slightly causing the audio to be in the power output?!

These statistics for some reason include gang vs gang killings, suicide, bald guys getting shot while committing a crime.
I read that wrong the first time... my brain just assumed the word was bald after reading suicide I guess.
Or maybe it would be like resivoir dogs where everyone with a gun shoots each other...
You mean a single person can't make a rifle with a newly conceptualized floating chamber - made from parts of old fords?! While in prison?!
I'm sure you love it that they read all your packets - I mean, the internet would be quite boring if they didn't read at LEAST 32 bytes in.

You'll find the same in BMW TIS and others
Probably - but I always feel weird being a foreigner.

But don't you worry they'll just put you out and steal your kidney?!
I love Thinkpads (T or X series) and Toughbooks (CF-19's and CF-30's) and have always felt I got my money's worth from them.
