It gives no reading in gear because either it is reading no load on the engine, or the computer cannot calculate fuel economy based on throttle posion and speed fast enough. That's the reason there is a delay in giving fuel economy readings when you change speeds. If you are coasting downhill in gear, there is no load on the engine, but engine speed increases, since power is being transferred from the wheels to the engine. This increases the engine speed, but since the throttle is closed (relatively), and you are maintaing vehicle speed, you computer is calculating a negative load, and thus, displaying no reading.
You've got a good explanation, but I didn't give you all the data: I start the car every day and coast down that hill. When the car is just started (and not warm, hence, higher friction), it uses gas to keep the motor running at a constant speed relative to the grade, and gives an MPG rating.
On a longer downgrade with the engine warmed up, it will almost continuously have no reading, but every once in a while, it'll *blip* the gas (electronic throttle control) to maintain the same engine speed relative to grade.
My phone does have locks, but they're all easily broken nowadays.
OS images are vendor-locked, but that can be removed, and further updates to the bootloader can be prevented.
On top of that, there's a "security lock" that can keep one from rewriting the radio chip's code. One recent AT&T release had a radio that enabled that write protect. Not only is there a way to prevent it from ever occurring (that I was lucky enough to have done =)), but the guys over at xda-developers found out a way to brick the device and rewrite the radio chip's firmware anyway.
They can sure try, though. Android runs on the phone, but you must start the bootloader from WITHIN windows.
It might be easier on a standard to stay in neutral on hills, but you're actually using more gas. Think about it: In neutral, the engine needs to supply power to keep the engine idling, even if only a little. Now, if you were in a gear, gravity would turn the motor! No gas needed.
I've actually confirmed it in my Jetta, the trip computer will read a value when in neutral going down hill (albiet high, if i idled downhill, i could probably get 90MPG)... but in gear it gives no reading, as no gas is being burnt!
Ten years ago, you didn't have a phone in your pocket all the time, and the choice was either to spend that quarter on a drunken booty call because , or buy another beer and go home with Jill.
Dunno if you'll see this, but there ARE projects working at getting Android working on the Tilt. Check out xda-developers.com's forums.
As of now, I don't think calls work or text messages (They've figured out what comes OUT of the radio, but not how to put stuff IN. I can understand why HTC doesn't release these specs, I bet with them one could wreak some real havoc).
You are correct, sir. Under GSM, a text message takes up exactly one frame. Voice is 50 frames per second. All the phone has to do is catch one frame (that the cell tower is going to keep on repeating if it thinks that your phone is on.).
If you want open use, what you want is a Windows Mobile phone.
No feature on my AT&T Tilt is crippled in any way. If Windows Mobile does not play a file format, some other player will. AT&T has a $10/mo GPS nav solution, but I have two free ones (Windows Live and Google Maps) and TomTom. The camera saves my photos on the memory card in JPEG, ringtones are MP3s (or WAV or whatever you want, and you can replace ANY notification with whatever you want, as long as you want).
If I plug the phone into a PC, I can share the data connection. Further, if I don't have a USB cable, I can have the device act as a wifi router!
The phone can be completely unlocked (to the point where any individual bit of the NVRAM can be read and edited) within ten minutes with a Windows XP machine.
Not only am I nearsighted, but I have strabismic amblyopia (a lazy eye uncorrected long enough that my brain doesn't really pay attention to the other eye... throw a ball at someone and you'll see the effect). My 30" 1080i tube looks SO MUCH better when getting a native 1080i signal versus 480i.
Not that I'm going to buy a BluRay player anytime soon, I've got a minidisc player that I'm still angry about.
How did that '77 Honda do goin' up a 25% grade in a nice 95 degree, 80% rel. humidity summer?
My 30mpg vehicle does GREAT, and it's nipply inside because of the air conditioning. Probably won't even have to switch gears. =)
(The gas goes somewhere, haulin' your ass, or haulin' your ass, 5 window motors, condenser, compressor, and other A/C parts, 6 airbags, a stereo amplifier, ABS pump, computer, sensors and valves, a CD changer, oh, and the emissions control equipment, electric locks, alarm system, convenience control module, and doing so with much greater available power)
I was always a domestic car guy until this year, when it came time to finally spend more than a couple grand on a car. I tried, I really did, to find a 2000 or newer Ford that I could buy (I've driven RWD Fords - mostly T-Birds, since before I was old enough to drive). It didn't happen. I'm driving a VW Jetta now (which, although mine is the VR6, has the option for a rather successful turbocharged direct-injection diesel).
They need to get their heads out of their asses. Example: the Falcon. And now this. They're either TRYING to fail miserably, or their heads are so far up the oil executive's asses that they can't breathe.
Recall that bacteria have had around 4 billion years to turn Earth into a nanopocalyptic wasteland. Sure, they're everywhere, but they aren't dismantling everything else for parts. If this were a real risk, it would already have happened.
What do you think every bacteria that can't manufacture its own food is doing to all the ones that can?
Please, go bitch at your neighbor who dumps his lawnmower's oil in the corner by his garage before you waste your time bitching about an esquire cover.
But if that weatherman came on one day and said i'm going to read a list of numbers, in this order: high temp, low temp, wind speed, direction, and visibility, he could come on every day and say 74,56,23,west,10000, and be done with it. A pilot doesnt need all the hunky dory graphics that the news weatherman puts up.
I can sue you for whatever I damn well please and proceed to drag you though years upon years of red tape and attorneys fees. I don't have to have a legal basis, I just have to lawyer up good, and when you're fighting the entire PCI, you've got a hell of a fight.
I'm not trying to start a troll battle, but why is a random life lost not meaningful to you?
If you were witness to an accident, and saw a person, still seatbelted into a burning car, would you release them, or is the 'disconnect' you are describing only privvy to people you see on the news?
Any loss I see in the news upsets me a little inside. I understand that I could not have prevented anything, but it still saddens me to see when someone goes off the baseline and decides to take someone's life. It makes me feel, as a member of society, that I haven't done enough to make my society good enough that it wouldn't happen. That means I take the blame for others' actions at times. Do you not feel that way? Do you feel as if your actions do not effect others?
It's easy to look at losses. It's much harder to look at positives.
The kids lost their mother to their father. They have not yet lost their father, he's eligible for parole in 15 years. If anything, Hans lost his children, but that was because of his actions.
Nina's parents have lost a child, and whatever higher power they choose be with them. Hans' parents have not lost a child, however now they have a child that they must reconcile themselves with and work out for themselves how his life ended up here.
A lot of people DID lose their best friends, both Nina and Hans. The Hans they thought they knew was not the Hans that really existed.
The Linux community has not yet lost a developer. In fact, the community has gained much from Hans' presence, and the fact that he is now being punished for a crime does not, in my mind, diminish his impact on Linux. He may return to code again, and we should look forward to that.
The District Attorney's office is charged with prosecuting crimes in their area of jurisdiction. They did not/lose/ any money prosecuting this case, that money was already marked to be spent on protecting the public. A convicted AND admitted killer is now being punished as the public demanded.
In the end, good things can come from darkness, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Nina may be dead, and Russia may be deprived of a doctor, but as a community (and I mean the Linux community and the Oakland community), we can (and it is our duty to) put our faith in the justice system that a criminal has been found and is being punished, and we need to have faith that after he has served his punishment, he can return to/our/ society and contribute to and better it.
When you personally just look at the losses of a criminal justice system, you do an injustice for yourself. Some will never be rehabilitated, some have made a grave, grave mistake of judgment, and simply need to pay their time. I hope that Hans is in the latter category - if everyone in society felt the same way about everyone in the system, especially the people who work in the system, we'd be better off.
Hans committed a heinous crime and deserves to be punished. However, Hans has not demonstrated to us that he is completely unfit for civil society, and should NOT be looked at as such. He may, after a decade and a half, return to innovate in the computer sciences as a changed man.
Think they'll ever be done though? If you're choosy, the PA turnpike still has EZPass lanes that DON'T capture a picture of your plate and grinning face as you sail through the lane with the transponder under your seat.

I guess I'll have to stay with the open (as in playground) solution, Windows Mobile...
I almost have an aneurysm saying that, but hey, it works. M$ can't delete MY software and neither can AT&T =)
And not 100% true for the XBox either, I can disable my chip, load the retail BIOS, and use the retail Dashboard.

He called armed forces members fascists?
I volunteered, but if I was one of the every-other-adult-males that HAS to sign up for the draft, I'd be pretty miffed about it.
I LOVE the Falcon.
I, unfortunately, live in Ford's home country and can't buy one. Ford doesn't do so hot at selling cars in this country, either.
Wait, so these virgins that they get have to DIE, they're not, you know... willed into being by Allah?
Well I hope they enjoy all the 80 year old women who died never having sex and all the stillborn infants...
