Is it really a "larger Android market" if you do not count the devices stuck with old Android versions? Last time I saw statistics of Android versions, only a small percentage was using the latest major version, another small percentage was stuck with the previous major version and the rest went as far back as four major versions ago. That's like complaining that my iPhone 3GS isn't supported anymore, except that low-end Android devices still ship with old versions of the OS today, even as brand-new phones.
Since you have so much room in a truck, you can put a lot more batteries in it. I'm pretty sure Tesla could make an electric truck with at least quadruple the range of their cars.
Arduino clones on eBay with a stepper motor shield and non-NEMA stepper motors shouldn't cost that much.
The cost can be much, much lower if you don't mind slow, low-precision, plastic-geared steppers made for controlling A/C vents (28BYJ-48). With an Arduino Pro mini, the setup could be around USD$10 for the Arduino and three motors with drivers.
You can also salvage from average to excellent stepper motors from old 8" and 5-1/4" floppy drives, old matrix/laser/inkjet printers and old scanners. If you can figure out how to use the built-in driver of the printer/scanner, you also save yourself from the trouble of finding power supplies and drivers for those motors.
The accusation that I never paid an electricity bill. I do, every month.
And Golddess's math assumes the full cost of running the wireless router while my argument was about the extra cost of having the secondary part of the router enabled. And his/her router takes an awful lot of power, to be honest. The Apple Airport Express (PDF) requires a maximum of 2.2 watts, which is 7.27 times less power, or about 0.23 cents per month for the whole router running at maximum capacity.
I feel the same way about all the fucking cellphone acronyms. And when you add the pseudo-technobable of marketing drones on top of it, it's nearly impossible to know what's what.
Almost everyone who wants an iPhone already has an iPhone! It's the Applecalypse!
Maybe they'll start making real upgrades for the computers again. They're still putting slow 4200/5400 RPM HDDs in their low-end models for crying out loud.
Static text? Fine. The bandwidth required is so negligible that you would not even notice if you removed them from the page.
Static images? Fine. The bandwidth required is so low that you would probably not really notice if you removed them from the page. As long as they stay in their place and don't try to block the content I'm reading, this is fine most of the time.
Animated images, HTML5/Javascript, Flash, Java, Video ads? It's so much worst because those waste a lot of bandwidth, distract us from reading the page and waste CPU cycles and battery life.

Facebook is like that annoying, useless channel on your cable or satellite box. Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to watch it.
Much approve, send many Doge to D9scjyKETYZesSmhjCR4vye4bc6iDqXPd6 for many happy! World of Warcraft!
Do you really mean that and I mean and do you have reading comprehension problems and man?
Fluttershy was not available for comment.
Wait, Slashdot was bought by a fucking SEO company?
I'm out.

Wait, what do you mean by "cargo space"?
Damn, since when do they make their muffin packs smaller?

Oh noes, you can pay for Internet but you cannot pay 10 cents per month to help other people!
You think Apple used U.S.A.-based manufacturers before 2008? /laugh
It's not about the lawyers. It's about two giants we hate, fighting one another.
Can't wait to see their logo. Can you imagine Hollywood vs Telecoms+Facebook? That's a lawsuit everyone on Slashdot would like to see happen.
I mean, if even Spock can use it, I guess it's good.

No idea. I'm using Safari here but I'm still on dial-up so maybe that's why I haven't had that probl{#`%${%&`+'${`%&NO CARRIER
Like it or not, it's true. But that's because most people always leave out the last part of that quote.
Apple, it just works. Until it doesn't.
One more cable and they could have gone Super Saiyan on the task.
Virtual +5, Insightful.
Include the whole video, one frame per X frames depending on the length of the movie.

I'd pick 5Mbps for $20, that's for sure. That's more than enough for Netflix.
At least it wasn't 3D-printed drones.
