Well because The iPhone4 is a single core A4 Cortex8 cpu. which is probably slower than the single core Snapdragon in the Nokia phone. Here the Nokia is probably better but the the iPhone4s GPU is really good so it may make the difference. So it could go Nokia or Apple. The iPhone4 only has a very good 5MP camera while it sounds like the Nokia has a very good 8MP camera with really good optics. Apple has a very good camera Nokia often has great cameras. The new Nokia may actually be better than not just the 4 but the 4s in the camera department. Screen same size as the iPhone but no where near the resolution. Nokia's LCDs are very good but this is a big win for the iPhone 4. OS. Some people really like WP7 but IOS is very solid and over all it's much larger users base is very happy with it. I give the win to IOS for now. Apps. I don't care what people say. IOS has not just a huge App catalog but a huge number of the best apps. Win for the iPhone. I think you where confusing the 4 with the 4s. So Nokia may have a better CPU but that is only a maybe and you need to test the GPU as well. Nokia has a better camera most likely. The iPhone4 has a better display, larger app catalog, and a rock solid an mature OS with a huge number of apps, a lot of high quality apps, and a huge developer base. I would say about equal and yes I am putting a large amount of value on the display because that is how you interact with these devices. The Nokia may actually be a bit better than say the 4 or Evo but those are old phones. It is not in the same category as the 4s or Samsung Galaxy II.
"Quite possibly both are right. Unofficially named after the Mary that the Catholics worship, officially named after the Kings wife." Who was named after the Mary that Catholics hold in high reverence. I am pretty sure that most Catholics would say the worship God and revere Mary but again I am just guessing.
I am using US carrier plus contract pricing. If you want I restate it to "a new flag ship phone that is roughly the same as last years IOS and Android phones".
Flagship Phone but Single Core. Small screen same size as the iPhone but much lower pixel density. AKA resolution. Not available in the US before Christmas. Pros: It is pretty. Could have an outstanding camera. The display is good but is it better then the iPhone4 display? I don't know. In other words compared with the iPhone 4s and the Samsung Galaxy SII family that are already shipping it is lagging. WP7 Mango isn't terrible but it too is already start to "continuing to" lag behind IOS and Android. So this flagship device is roughly as good as the $99 iPhone4 or a $99 Android handset but without the app catalog. Really just not thrilling to anyone that isn't a Nokia or WP7 fanboi. In other words it is a base hit but the other team has a 20 point lead and it is the top of the 7th inning.
Well here we have a problem of History books. My history book said that Maryland was created as a refuge for Catholics so was given the name Maryland after Mary. So was it a home for Catholics named after the blessed virgin Mary or named af the a queen named after the blessed virgin Mary? I am not catholic so if I in anyway did not show the proper respect when using Mary's title and place in reference to Roman Catholic belief it was purely caused by my ignorance and not out of any attempt to be disrespectful.
I am fairly religious and it just doesn't bother me. I do find the anti religion zelots a bit amusing. I am just waiting for them to demand that Maryland and San Francisco change their names because of separation of church and state.
The stupid people that question authority. The smart people that question authority would sit back and wait for a dumb one to test it for them or build a device to test it safety.
If a person isn't that bright it is for the best for all concerned that they follow the rules.
Not a problem but the Slashdot editors should have fixed that error and frankly this factual error. "But its reactors succeeded in achieving cold shutdown because the plant's emergency diesel generator was being cooled by the two seawater pumps that survived intact.'"
Odds are that they diesel generator was not cooled by the two remaining seawater pumps but that the reactor reached cold shutdown because the diesel generator powered the two remaining sea water pumps that provided cooling to the reactor.
But please do not feel bad about your English since they are most likely infinity better than my skills in Japanese.
there is a lot you can do with that much ram and CPU. The big issue I see is getting a good full browser on it. The new Firefox might work. Your other choice is to get go with a mobile browser and hope for the best. Now if you want to run GCC you are actually in good shape. I would assume that at in say a school setting you would use the network for mass storage. You could also use these as Xterms to run more demanding software off of a local server.
Dang it almost sounds like a normal school now. Actually probably for the best IMHO. Just from observing my friend and her friends I get the feeling that excessively strict rules leads to less respect for all the rules. AKA following the word and not spirt but that is just my opinion.
How about author of Lisp? One could even say creator of. Intentor implies that Lisp is an invention which could be protected under patient law while author or creator implies that it could have been protected under copyright law .
Really wow things must have changed. When my friend went there it was the one of the most uptight strict place I had ever heard of. My friend would go out town so she could go to dance clubs. Remember I am old so this was a good bit ago. Frankly she was really sweet but she had a kind of sad in the way she seemed to have faith but would only obey the word of the rules she said she believed in but not the spirt. I have not heard from her for a very long time funny how how a story can make you think about old friends.
No I do understand but even with your going back to your dorm room you only hit 20 which is half of my 47 total. That would be a worse case. Jogging while having a smartphone in your pocket shouldn't case that many hits since it should be asleep for most of the time one is jogging. Still just seems really high to me. Plus does every student have a smart phone, tablet and Notebook at ACU these days.
It has been a while since I was in college and I never went to ACU. I knew a very pretty girl that went there... I have to say that she was interesting...
Bring back saber tooth tigers. Or we could go the high tech route. In every 7th grade on the planet put a pole that has a metal ring at the six foot level that has a million volts at 100 amps. Do not put a fence or railing around it but put signs in every common language for the area on the pole saying, "Warning one million volts at 100 amps if you touch it you will die." That or invent the Rubic's Condom and put them on every male at the age of 14.
I do know. I have done development on a StrongArm board with only 64MB of memory. The RasPi is probably a lot more powerful than a DEC VAX 11/780 was in the day. However some software like browsers seem to really want a lot of memory these days. You are right but more ram is always better on a system but 256MB is not a small amount of ram... Until you put a full browser on the box. And let's be honest how many sites support Dillo these days?
Well that is the problem. How do you know if teachers are teaching. The old answer of "you just know" isn't good enough. Looking back the teachers I had varied from very good, over worked, and some where just terrible. My second grade teacher hated kids. She was very old and really disliked me because her son knew my father and got into a lot of trouble a decade before I was born. She was the only 2nd grade teacher so i was stuck. My third grade teacher was great and found out that I was reading way above level but was in a very low reading group. She moved me to the top reading group and I got all As. Fifth grade teacher hardly ever taught science because she didn't like it. She also refused to use the new Science books because she knew the old ones. So in fifth grade I had book with a Gemini capsule on it and it talked about how some day man would walk on the moon. The funny thing was that we lived only 50 miles from Cape Kennedy and all the kids grew up with the space program. I could go on pointing out really good teachers and really bad ones but i think you get the point. And just for the record I lived in a very well town and my elementary school was in a well to do area. So how do judge teachers? When you test the students they game the system by teaching the test. It isn't a secret and not one gets upset over it which is odd. The FCAT was a test for teachers but it was turned into a test for the students.
Sweet but I was half way kidding. What I really want is to find and SPI to SATA bridge so one could add a harddrive without using the USB port or network. But I have yet to see one. i will probably pick up one of these for hacking just because.
Possibly but I would have to see the size of the machine tool market but your point about suppliers is very valid. In a way I feel that we should adopt a tactic that I was taught in my motorcycle safety course. Look where you are going. Don't look where your front wheel is right now but look down the road at where you want to go. As they said where you look is where you will go. The real issue is for people to stop bickering and saying "look how great I am because I am a Democrate, Republican, or Libertarian." Their are good people in all the parties and frankly a lot of bad ones as well. It is time to start putting more of the good ones in power and not the bad ones. Same thing with the Red State Blue State crap. What is this the civil war all over again?

Sorry to double post but that is really handy. Now IAMFT I just need to write code to convert a Centronics port to GPIO and and bit banged SPI
I knew that i2c was around but the dev board I used all had proprietary interfaces to the GPIO and SPI.

True but I would love for Linux to add a standard interfaces for SPI, GPIO, and ican. That could help embedded developers a lot.

It does have USB and and SPI port so you could add another network port if you wanted too.
how about a $50 PC with one GB of ram :)
Only if they are open. If so then that maybe an a solution in part. Password protect the WAPs that cover the road way.
