I admit the U.S. corporations are horrible copyright grubbers, and stupid laws like the Mickey Mouse Protection Act don't help. The offset that we have however is a huge community around creative commons, OSS, and support of things like the Blender Project (mostly European I know) and The Humble Bundle.
At least Japan did release a Japanese Language version of Nectaris and MegaMan vs. Street Fighter for free.
I used Mean ROM for a while, which is a Sense ROM. That ROM's biggest claims to fame were the biggest things going against it for me. Overclocking when the screen is on - great - but let me disable that. The disable is to under-clock it was the screen on. I loved the single core under-clock with screen off thing but there was no easy way to configure this behavior. Also the web browser was supposed to be awesome for some of the customizations, I liked some but couldn't disable the others so I used Chrome for Android while I was on it.
I also used Fresh Evo on my old phone. Nice but had some bugs I couldn't overcome and I gave up on it.
I don't have a lot of current ties to Japan, and due to the language barrier and the fact English language news reports on the US, a little Canada, England, and maybe a few other places in Europe and leaves the rest of the world as a giant void it's really hard to keep up. When I'm digging through config files most email addresses I see are US, Germany, England or France.
I would love to see more Japanese influence on OSS. I absolutely love a lot of Japanese commercial products and I would like to see some of that quality and thought being put into OSS.
Yeah, the on board SSD was 4GB. The factory installed version of Linux couldn't even update the day I took it out of the box because the drive was full. I put eeeBuntu on the thing and it worked out great. You would be surprised how many kids movies compressed to PSP size in stereo you can fit into a 32GB SSD card. She would watch movies and even play a few video games on that thing in the back seat. I gave it to my niece and nephew when I got her a newer Acer with a 10" screen.
Agreed. Part of the reason I got Cyanogen was I hated Sense and the bloat attached to it. On my LTE Evo Sense artificially limits the abilities of the phone for reasons I just can't comprehend. It almost makes it a non-multi-tasking device where it's awesome at multi-tasking with Cyanogen Mod.
My buddy who is a sys-admin for a rather sizable company talked me out of getting a Galaxy S and getting an Evo 4G (WiMax original) instead. His experience, running IT for an organization with a really healthy blend of multiple types of handsets was that the HTC's were physically much more durable than the Samsungs.
My personal experience doesn't include a Samsung phone, but I'm rough on stuff. I've got bent keys in my pocket because they were bent in my pocket. I work at the Johnson Space Center running cables under the floor, up walls, I'm regularly on ladders, in the sub-floor and I even do work on the side. I destroy or work pager or two a year while I'm rolling over on the phone in my pocket at the same time. My original Evo held up until I dropped it face down on a rock by an accident, losing it off of a bicycle moving at a fairly quick pace. My current one, an LTE Evo model has held up for nine months so far. The work pager's been replaced at least once since I've gotten it.
To clear things up - I've got a slightly warped Leatherman pocketknife (not an normal multi-tool). I'm rough on stuff. Part of the reason I wear carpenter pants is I like putting my phone in the leg pocket. It took two years to make my old Evo get buggy. It still works - post screen replacement - and I've got it setup for my daughter to play games on it. It still worked fine as a phone as of the day I decommissioned it - the signal just wasn't as reliable as it my coworkers identical phone on an identical plan anymore and hey, newer model out there. Before my Evo I destroyed on iPhone 3G and the replacement for that (also iPhone 3G) had a crack in the case, the WiFi and Bluetooth no longer worked, but the phone itself still did.
You may have some experience I don't in this area. I just don't see it.
There's nothing racist about the actions of a culture bringing about the repercussions of those actions.
The incredibly racist, it's part of the overall culture. There are people within the race that are not racist, but being racist is a cultural value in the overall national culture. It's not me making this observation. I am speaking of the overall culture, not the race. The race is an Asian person of Japanese person. The culture is the racist copyright grubbing one that I'm referring to.
If i used your logic every white person would be trailer trash, every black person would be a ghetto thug, and every Asian person would work on an assembly line and live in a sweat shop dorm.
I dropped my old Evo 4G (WiMax) onto a rock face first and shattered the screen. I was going to have to do a warranty replacement (no questions asked) but the guy behind the counter made me a deal. Buy $50 worth of crap in the store and he would replace my screen for free. I spent $100 on a pair of Bluetooth headphones, which is about what the claim would have cost anyways, but I got to keep the headphones.
I completely pwn my phones for exactly that reason. I considered the crapware Sprint put on my original Evo border-line criminal. It wasn't nearly as bad on Evo LTE, but they still secured crap in the "S-Off" area.
The Japanese are incredible copyright grubbers. When they let lose their pictures of the moon, when they tried to recreate the Apollo pics, they had JAXA and NHK copyright notices on the pictures so big they actually detracted from the pictures. I've worked with documentation handed to me by Japanese clients that was so water-marked I could barely read the poorly written instructions contained on it.
The overall Japanese mindset is the opposite of the Free and Open Source community. If their own people would put the effort into making an actual Emoji set for their own language it would take less work to get others on-board with making these toy versions.
I used to have an old 7" netbook for my daughter to use (I've updated her since). I used the biggest, slowest SD Card I could find. Took forever to fill up the card on a single copy operation, but it played back just fine, and overall it was a great buy. On the other hand it would have sucked for a camera.
This isn't even a real discussion question. Consider what you need the card for and pay for the one you need. If the better than what you need card happens to fall in your range get it instead.
He's pushed that boundary and gotten away with it, on home soil is the next pushing ground. As far as I'm concerned we need to stop all overseas police activities and bring all of our troops home. I'm open to a well placed spy here and there for obvious reasons, to intercept aggression, but not to better place it.
On another note it's illegal to toss a moose out of an airplane in Alaska - that most certainly is a state law, so I submit states can make their own laws where airspace is concerned.
banning drones in their air space is going to be a major hurdle.
Seems like systematic reduction in rights and progressively more 1984 and Brave New World type policies have caused a reaction. Just in time too, Houston got caught trying to sneak drones into service with absolutely no public input. Texas responded recently with a state-wide ban. Last thing we need is a president checking his smile for food particles in his reflection on his Nobel Peace Prize right before ordering U.S. citizens murdered like he does Middle Eastern ones.

You're right, culo means ass, puto is a man whore.
I'm glad you came in to say that.

Also your username means ass.
How is this different than saying "American culture"?
Sorry for all the stupid typos. Someone has a TV on next to me at high volume and it really throws my reply ability off.
Sorry I missed that. The article suggesting such a thing didn't exist did sort of throw me off the scent. I would mod you informative if I could.

So they got ICS about the time I upgraded myself to Jelly Bean.
Sort of.

It's the Japanese.

The best software patch I've found for HTC products, though I have tried others.

Considering I don't see many Samsung cases with holes in them to show off the logo, no I don't.
I'm not saying that - he is.

The difference being Anwar al-Awlaki was not on U.S. soil at the time - it makes a difference when you're in this deep.
Well - that's up to nullification challenges then isn't it?

Mine is an 05, so granted not the newest thing available, but not ancient, it has two of those panels I can reach.
Not that the Steam Keys make a huge difference to me. I've been using my Ubuntu Software Center keys anyways, so uhmmm software inception?
