There is more of linkage of the driver with the car with a manual transmission which leads to better gas milage(5%-15%), and manual transmissions are FAR simpler(easier to fix and cheaper to buy).
A better computer analogy would be coding in assembly or java. Java is easier to use, but you give up a lot of efficiency and add a bunch of complicated layers where problems can creep up.

the applications they produce aren't native to ANY platform.
Yep, this would be a terrible way of making utility apps, but this is acceptable for some types of apps, like games, that usually have unique interfaces anyway.
This isn't the Federal Gov... it's some stupid self-important good-old-boy redneck lawmakers needing a new way to waste money...
I want to create a group with the aim of getting statehood revoked for Southern Carolina, thus overthrowing the state's government and requiring registration. The main problem is I live in TN, and I will need to conspire with someone from SC.
I have used a CISCO VPN from my iPhone (the Exchange Server was behind the VPN)... It doesn't support that many types of VPNs, but it seems like most corporate VPNs are CISCO.
there is no digital error correction that fixes clock skew. error correction is one thing and clock dejittering is entirely separate. apples and oranges.
By sampling the digital signal several times faster than the transmission speed, you can detect clock drift and jitter and correct for both. I know any Serial/UART/USART controller you find today handles clock skew/drift and jitter this way, and a quick search of SPDIF controllers shows that they do the same.
Most phones are designated as "smart-phones" or "cellphones" by their manufacturers. While the term isn't well defined, it is easy to tell whether a manufacturer considers a phone in that category.
Yep... actually the iPhone 3G was released before the G1. The G1 was release on October 22, 2008 and the iPhone 3G was released on July 11, 2008.
The iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G have the exact same CPU, RAM, and Screen. The only advantages the 3G has over the 2G are:
Real GPS (but no compas). The iPhone 2G only does tower triangulation which isn't as precise, but good enough for restaurant finding. Even the iPods will attempt to locate their geo-coordinates themselves using wifi access points
3G speed...
Bluetooth that works with stereo headsets(A2DP)
The 3GS is a completely different phone from the 3G(although 2G/3G software runs on the 3GS). The 3GS has a much faster CPU, much better GPU, twice the RAM, shoots video, and has a compas. Comparing the G1 and 3GS wouldn't be fair.
I think the bigger problem with climate change science is that it is SOOO hard to get definitive answers. For example, look at this essay on rapid climate change. I think today most people believe that rapid(less than 100 year) climate shifts are possible and have happened, but the data isn't bulletproof and until recently(last 20 years) the majority probably wouldn't have believed it was possible. Separating the crap from the stuff that is probably-correct is too difficult for any layperson. I'm convinced that the world is probably rising in temperature from human-caused CO2/methane, but what effects that will have are unclear to me. Right now, it looks like the ocean can only rise a couple cm/100 years(a.k.a. undetectable compared to the tide).
I think deforestation and overpopulation are the real global issues for the next 100 years. The human population is still growing very fast and we have cut down most of the forests in the world. Something drastic has to happen in the next 100 years on both of these issues.
I've bought two Nokia phones, but have never used either. One can from AT&T and one from T-Mobile. I was starting pre-paid service both times and it was cheaper to buy a complete phone than just a SIM card...
If you look just at smartphones, then you see why. Andriod is still a relatively new platform, so the fact it doesn't have much much market share isn't surprising.
Zinc-carbon are sometimes sold as "Heavy Duty" alkaline-type cells. They have been around for awhile, and can't handle the high current that lithium can.
Carbon-Lead is neat, but has a terrible power density(worse than normal lead-acid batteries). They can handle incredibly high currents, but the density makes them not very useful as a battery. They might be a cheap replacement for super-capacitors in regenerative braking.
Remember, the purpose of law is to punish those who violate another's rights.
Legal rights are determined by law, and law protects legal rights. Natural rights shouldn't be infringed on by law, but the punitive nature of law has nothing to do with this argument.
The good of society is a myth, and you really should look up sovereign individual, because its an important part of the philosphy our country was founded on.
As far as I can tell, the term "sovereign individual" as you are using it has existed since 1997. I would be interested in how you think our country was founded on this philosophy.
Your chained reasoning is suspect. By that reasoning you can't outlaw anything. Do you think people should be allowed to make and sell meth? If selling meth is someone's only source of income, then denying them the right to sell meth would infringe on their right to live much more than denying them the right to have a gun. Of course, in a world where nothing is illegal, maybe everyone would need guns.
I have no idea what you mean by "sovereign individual". Societies make laws which say what you can and can't do for the good of the society.
I was thinking about trying this... but I also wanted to record in MPEG4. Last time I tried that I couldn't get it to work unless I only recorded in MPEG2.
What codec are you using? Are you only using ATSC/QAM, or analog tuners?
Some of us do sleep at night, asshole. It would be REALLY nice if people would turn off their outside lighting so it would actually be dark. Even with the cheapest American electrical rates, you are still looking at $1/month per 25W bulb.

It was done by Moto Labs, which has nothing to do with Motorola. http://labs.moto.com/diy-touchscreen-analysis/

My 2G will standby for ~4 days(including checking my email every 15minutes).
I didn't have a SIM in it for ~6 months and used it as a glorified iPod touch. It would last for a week with moderate use....
Where'd you get the 4%? Currently, it looks like Apple has 10+% of global smartphones and almost a third of the US market.
The iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G have the exact same CPU, RAM, and Screen. The only advantages the 3G has over the 2G are:
The 3GS is a completely different phone from the 3G(although 2G/3G software runs on the 3GS). The 3GS has a much faster CPU, much better GPU, twice the RAM, shoots video, and has a compas. Comparing the G1 and 3GS wouldn't be fair.
The terms "Bankruptcy" and "Insolvency" aren't very good for general discussion because their meaning varies so greatly. In the UK, bankruptcy doesn't apply to corporations, and insolvency can mean either a cash flow(short term) problem or a balance sheet(business is tits up) problem. Not to mention differences between Chapter-11 bankruptcy(US) and going into administration/receivership.
Eh, data gets deleted for plenty of reasons... this looks fishy, but there is no need to attribute malice where idiocy would suffice.

Global Market share from early this year puts Nokia in the lead(50.3%), followed by RIM(20.9%), followed by Apple(13.7%). It looks like Apple and RIM are still gaining ground, with Apple at 11% of the global market.
US marketshare is harder to find good numbers for, but it looks like RIM and Apple are beating Nokia in the US. Plus, people actually use their iPhones a lot.
This Samsung OS doesn't appear to be based on Linux.

Oops, forgot to put voltage...
but you seem to have moved a decimal. 10Ah/g at 1V = 10Wh/g, which would make it possibly several times better than gasoline.
The 10kWh/kg claim is hard to believe, lithium-ion is currently maxing out at ~400Wh/kg.
Paper at http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1388248109003889
The capacity of the prototypes was very small, but they are hoping to acchieve 10 Ah/g.

Back to my original question... Why do you think the right to own a gun is a natural/inalienable right?
Obviously, inclusion in the constitution has nothing to do with it.
Ah... so you just don't understand what inalienable/natural rights are. They are pretty different from normal rights.
I consider slavery an infringement on inalienable rights, but it was allowed by the constitution.
Not everyone sleeps at night, dumbass.
