Well, this is a hack. The directory is symlinked to a partition on your sd card. I believe that the apps2sd on 2.2 actually just runs from your FAT patition on your microsd, so I can understand why the application has to actually support it versus the CM hack where the internal directory is actually stored on your external microsd card in an ext2/3/4 directory. I wish I could install reiserfs....now that would be killer!
Yeah. I pay $95 a month on t-mobile contract with 500 minutes. Not too bad. Basically the android plan is $30 over top of whatever minute plan you choose. I was told there are no caps, but I haven't gotten anywhere near the 10 gigs the cap used to be, so I can't confirm this or not. Rooting my phone opened up wireless tethering and that's kind of awesome. Too bad 3g isn't fast enough for you tube (I get like 700-1000kbits on a good day) but it is certainly fine for some heavy web browsing.
Wow...TB carries the market information?!?! This was my biggest issue with backing up apps...they all lose the ability to update via market unless you use some third party update program that checks the market versus your installed version numbers. atrackdog is pretty good at this actually.
I've been tempted by this, but CM4 with compcache, swap, and the home screen locked in ram has made my phone usable. From what I understand, 2.1 is still a bit laggy on the G1....do you feel like its really faster?
BC2 is probably trying to cache everything into your available video ram, hence aero shutting down because it is out of ram. It does require 128megs, so perhaps BC2 is trying to utilize the whole 1 gig since its there.
You know...use extremely toxic dispersant that is worse than the oil itself to keep it far below the surface? Nah, they wouldn't do that. Or lie to the public, saying its only 5,000 barrels a day, even though they could probably calculate a far more accurate flow rate than all these scientists now trying to guess based upon small smounts of evidence? I remember reading early on one of the execs as being quoted that the spill wasn't that bad at all, and that most of the oil was a light oil and not heavy crude. (Yeah, the lighter oil floats to the top faster, dumbass) Yeah, I'd trust what BP and their "experts" have to say about this spill about as much as I'd trust GW Bush that Iraq had something to do with 9/11. They are the experts right?
I'm truly beginning to think that haliburton may be the most evil corporation in the history of the united states. I mean they are connected to so many things it boggles the mind. They are like an octopus with their tentacles touching nearly everything. A powerful, government sponsored octopus. One that as given the largest no-bid contract ever at a time of war to basically become the supply line for our troops while at the same time swindling everything they could. Now they are responsible for the worst man made disaster in history. Way to go guys!
Ixtoc 1 also destroyed 160 miles of US coastline. It likely affected us more than them. The mexican government has refused to accept any financial responsibility in the matter, and I'm afraid that it looks like BP is as well.
Its not about the software the runs the car....its the software that gives you directions. google navigate is very much in beta right now. I mean it came out not all that long ago and has beta written all over it. (literally)
This was exactly my thoughts as well. Compared to solutions that cost actual money like real gps units, google navigate still has a long way to go. The funny thing is that there is a traffic layer, but it still isn't smart enough to incorporate that into its routing in real time. I'm sure it would get the job done in most cases, but for example I was playing with it the other day and it said that the place I was going to was at 1327 E Main St. (which is the correct address) I arrived at my destination (by foot) and it told me to take a left and go 10 blocks up main st and turn to claire st. It was directing me to the 2300 block of claire st. This is in a major city, though I did just change the names. When I go to street view, it shows the location as being on claire st and gives the streetview for that block of claire st. Fail.
Well, I just looked at it on the web and its the same. Someone just got the address wrong even though it clearly is listed under the right address. The location is just not correspondant. You'd think google would have some way to cross check addresses against map coordinates. I'm just saying that they might want to take all the beta text off before they start selling to gm......
The walking and cycling portion are also very much beta, but this I could understand, given the complexities of adding that kind of data to the layers and then giving a workable route. Also, why doesn't the navigate just offer cycling and walking directions? It seems like it could be easily incorporated and would give you turn by turn directions as you are walking, which would be much nicer than looking at a map and figuring out where you should go next on it. In maps you can generate routes just like maps on the web, but navigate is only for cars. Why have one do one thing and the other do another? Anyways, cheers to google for making this great free app. I'm not really trying to complain, but I can see the potential for this sort of thing when you combine gps with it. Think of the millions of layers of information you can overlay and have a voice guide you to. (And their text to speech voices need some work I must admit) This is a feature that many people pay $10 a month or so just to be able to access on lesser phones, and it all works pretty good on my g1.
I disagree. I think the barrier to entry is getting higher and higher with every multi-hundred million dollar upgrade pixar makes every time. You could always render stuff and make movies with lesser resources. There are a number of commercial products out there that will accomplish this task. They are not overly expensive either. Sure blender is free, but I've seen better rendering from commercial products to be honest. What was that short film that was recently making the rounds in the internet with the camera guy and the bubbles floating everywhere? I think one guy wrote that animation and it totally blows this one away. Parts of it look good, for sure, but this stuff would have been cutting edge...what...10 years ago? I think even the CGI in FFVIII is better than this. That being said, I was sort of intrigued by the preview, and now kind of want to see this, just based upon story alone, even if it looks like a clichéd video game plot. Also, I think the early pixar shorts were fairly endearing for their story telling. Each one was a short story that was kind of cute, and when you look at even their stuff from the 80s, its awfully, awfully impressive considering that they were writing that stuff on crays and what not before there were even real modelling and animation tools.
That's actually a pretty big difference. Movies are not seen based upon previews alone. (Well for some people they are I guess) The smarter movie watcher will wait until they read a few reviews and then decide if they want to go see the movie. Preordering something is one thing, usually when they offer a preorder, the product has already been out in the wild somewhat and people in the press have had a chance to evaluate it and review it. In previews you are generally given some of the highlights of the movie. Often, the previews are the best parts of the movie and everything else is pretty terrible. People are wise to these things. Usually by the time they go to buy the ticket, they have heard reviews on tv, read about them in the newspaper, online, etc, have heard from friends that have seen the movie already, etc, etc. They know more about the movie than just the preview and have made a somewhat informed decision to purchase a ticket. I know that this is not the case for everyone, but I find it kind of insulting to my intelligence that I should just pay money to something that may or may not even be finished. If people did stuff like that, there would be a whole lot more scammers out there then there are now. Think about it, I could "create" a "revolutionary" product and sell it through a website. I could even claim that the product is not complete (ala pandora) and just scam people with vaporware the whole time. Oh wait....I think that's actually been done before. I'm just saying that this sort of thing is what people are generally skeptical of. Its one thing to make a 5 minute blender reel, its another order of magnitude to do a couple of hours, especially at that sort of quality. I'm just saying that I really can't see this becoming a practical payment method. Preorders are for the genuinely insane if you ask me. I wouldn't even preorder software. Id much rather wait and see how buggy it is in the wild first. I won't even buy PC games until they've been patched to playability. I guess console games are one thing, since they are mostly static at release, but I don't have any more consoles, and I eventually see a PC-like situation for console games too, where games are released before they are ready and bugs are slowly ironed out with multiple patches, because their publisher is looking purely at the bottom line.
Also, we know (or at least hope) that the money would go to a good place versus the hollywood accountant scumbags that take 90% of the profit and declare the movie a loss. If you ask me, the government should have never sided with the MPAA and should have looked into them for the organization that they are: a criminal enterprise with mafia connections. I pay for netflix and the occasional movie ($5 night rules!), but to be perfectly honest, I think the first transformers movie was the last movie I actually paid to see. I really don't have any interest in anything that is coming out from hollywood these days. Everything is a rehash or worse anymore. New movies are not looked at as a one off product, they are a franchise to be invested in and milked dry. I blame george lucas. Ever since star wars toys became so huge, everyone wanted a piece of the pie from video games to halloween costumes and t-shirts.
I've been told that the android data plan is unlimited. When I signed up, I asked the rep specifically about caps, and he said there were no caps. I don't know if this is true or not, but I do know that if you exceed your cap it generally kicks you down to edge, or at least that is how it used to. I've heard quotes of 10gb caps for t-mobile, so I'm guessing that their different data plans are all not the same. Do you know if hspa+ will be supported on all the htc android phones, or will it require all new hardware? Currently, in Pittsburgh, I get average speeds of 300-750kbps. Every once in a while I'll see it burst up to 1meg, so I'm at least getting average 3g speeds, but not super great or anything. (video can be problematic)
T-1 doesn't charge me anything to tether. Since my phone is rooted, I can do it wirelessly. As far as I'm concerned, if you are paying $30-40 a month for a data plan, you might as well use it for something other than checking facebook.

Yeah, you have to be highly trained and wearing a g-suit to get into the 9gs range.
can people live with loud bangs as a routine?
The evidence where I live (Valencia, Spain; a city addicted to pyrotechnics) is that yes, we can.
Welcome to hong kong. ;)
Welcome to my hood!
Yeah...you gotta love nandroid. Its saved my but a few times.

Low power mode in windows does the same thing. In fact I have it set to throttle my cpu to 50% or 1ghz so I can squeeze the battery some more.
You can just right click and go to the compatability tab and select disable windows themes. It will turn off aero automatically.
BC2 is probably trying to cache everything into your available video ram, hence aero shutting down because it is out of ram. It does require 128megs, so perhaps BC2 is trying to utilize the whole 1 gig since its there.
also... they say thank you and make breakfast for you in the morning. Been there, done that.
I highly recommend it ;)
Indeed. Good times to be had for sure. Cougars are also usually very sexually experienced. You can learn a lot from a cougar.

Oooh...it was really great. Hang on I'll look.
Fuck all if I can't remember what it was called....
I wanted to see that again, so I'll look some more and check back here if I ever find it again, I promise.

I agree. At least donate something if you watch the movie and enjoyed it. I mean geez, is it too hard to send them a beer ($5) or something?
Actually only the lighter oil floats. There is still a much larger plume of oil below the surface. RTFA!
