You would use MORE energy (in manufacture) not less
Maybe. How much energy is saved (or not) between an older car driven another, say 50,000 miles (and then replaced with, well, something) at 15mpg vs a new car driven 100,000 miles at 40mpg? And all the energy used to pull that oil out of the ground, turn it into gas, etc.
We also need to take into account the reduced pollution/emissions. What are those "worth"?
Can I get some cash if I go-round breaking windows?
If they're ancient, crappy windows that pollute the environment for no good reason, and are being replaced with triple-pane windows that will save hundreds of dollars in energy costs over their lifetime compared to the old windows?
VM heap 12MB or 32MB (try both, but those 2 seem to work best)
Swap is ESSENTIAL on low-memory devices like ours. Try Swapper2 from the market, it'll make a swap file on a FAT partition so you don't need to have an EXT partition on your SD card. I run a 32MB swap file with swappiness of 10. Some people like to set their swappiness much higher (like 60), but I'm not a fan, plus my SD card is only class 2, which is pretty slow.
Also try Home++ as your home app. I've found ADWLauncher (included with CM6) to be slow.
Also remove crap apps like Amazon MP3, ROM Manager (useless to me), the "Genie" app, replace the Froyo 3D gallery with the older 2D one, etc.
I'd start with CM6 Stable to begin with. Just follow this guide and you should be good to go. Your G1 will run sooooo much better. Just remember your G1 is referred to as the HTC Dream.
Yup, actually we built an RD parser for the compiler class/project I'm referring to. It was built in Java (I know...) and compiled a (large) subset of PASCAL. Parameter type-checking and everything.:)
Setting up a situation where somebody (intentionally or inadvertently) not paying a $75 fee can cause tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage and fees for themselves, their neighbors (at least one had direct property damage) and the other policy holders of the insurance company is stupid and unjustifiable regardless of moral, political or economic perspective.
I see you've never had health insurance in post-WWII America...
And yeah, a few lazy people abuse it; frankly, I'll accept that knowing that if anyone I care about is in need, no matter whether due to malice, bad luck or their own stupidity, they'll be helped, without needing to sign up for a series of different plans years beforehand.
That's the heart of the problem with American Conservatives. They absolutely CANNOT STAND anyone abusing the system. To them, someone receiving an undeserved benefit is the worst kind of affront, period. That is why they are happy to slash and burn the whole system, make everyone more miserable and cost everyone more money, so long as no one abuses the system. Of course, they can never even pull THAT off, so we're left with the worst of both worlds: A broken system that STILL gets abused.
I work at a financial institution. We understand that yes, sometimes people will rip us off. Sometimes people will put an empty deposit envelope into an ATM and then withdraw their phantom funds in cash. It's just a cost of doing business! If we tried to lock the whole thing down so tight that no one ever abused it, all of our legitimate customers would suffer. It would make no sense whatsoever.
There's no doubt that the illegal distribution of software on the android platform is pretty high. And we could make arguments about why that is forever using all the same old arguments and excuses we always have. The fact that it is easier on Android phones than others (is that true? I am not so sure about that) is a matter for consideration. But that, in and of itself, is not the reason carriers need to get into the mix by making it less useful for users.
You misunderstand. You can install "pirated", not-downloaded-from-the-Market software on ANY stock android phone. Pirating software is not made any easier by rooting. Go grab a 2GB torrent of every damn Android app out there, install on your stock phone. Not a problem.
This is all about hardware control. I have a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G, and if I had stayed stock, I'd STILL be on Android 1.6, which is fucking ANCIENT. I'm running 2.2.1, can do all kinds of actually useful stuff:
Modify/etc/hosts to block ads? Check Over/underclock processor on demand, both increasing performance AND battery life? Check Control LEDs and other lights (different colors for txt/email/etc notifications, blink patterns)? Check Multitouch? Check Optimized kernel images that run wicked fast? Check Swap space on SD card to get some more RAM space? Check Complete bit-for-bit backup of the internal flash memory so I can do a "bare metal" restore? Check
This phone fucking FLIES compared to the stock T-Mobile software, which is slooooow as hell. And THAT'S why I rooted.
The best module I had was a module named "Languages and Compilers".
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
If you can build a compiler (and I'm talking lexical, syntactic, semantic analyzers, no cheating using LEX or YACC), understand how grammars work, how to remove recursion and other grammar issues, then by God you're a programmer through and through.
There were a significant number of people in my MS CS program that completed every class EXCEPT Compilers and it prevented them from getting the graduate degree in CS...even years later. Suck to be them...
"He recognized that the laptop got hot on the left side; however, regardless of that, he did not change its position," the report says. I think we found the problem. Why say your kid is dumb when you can blame his laptop that he never puts down?
I think the point is that a laptop can be hot, but not to the point of pain, and still cause damage over time. That's not necessarily intuitive.
Intuitive = If it's not hot enough to cause acute pain, then it's OK to leave there all the time.
In case you folks haven't noticed, your average "hour long" prime time TV show is about 45-50 minutes, the rest is nothing but commercials.
Try 42 minutes. It's been that way for quite a while now.
Remember back a few years ago when Spike had "Trek Uncut"? It was "uncut" in that Spike was only putting in the amount of ads that was common in the 90s (10 minutes or so?). That means that pretty much EVERY rerun from that era and before that you see on every channel has actual CONTENT cut out to make room for more commercials. Lovely, eh?
As you do so, you'll work on getting more skill for those that need it, as pugging just won't be a workable idea.
Well, looks like most people with kids and a job will stop playing. I jump on at 9:30pm on Friday and Saturday nights. Whoever is on, I play with. If I have to maintain build connections, I'm done for.
Isn't this just looking at wardriving data that was submitted to various wardriving geolocation databases?
1) You broadcast your wireless MAC to the universe via wireless. 2) Dude picks it up on a wardrive scan. 3) Dude uploads his logs to http://wigle.net/ or some other database. 4) Google gets data from these databases (how?) and puts it into their geolocation database
I know I've uploaded my own wireless MAC to wigle before, so no help there. Then again, I have an android phone that connects to my wireless router. Perhaps when your android device has a GPS lock and is connected to a wireless router, it uploads the wireless MAC and current lat/lon values to the Great Google Database in the Sky? That wouldn't surprise me at all.
I tried putting in my WIRED and LAN MAC addresses into the proof of concept website and it put them in locations a thousand miles away (Maryland and New York).
My real concern is that the proponents of network neutrality just want to be able to have unabated access to download music and movies and porn without paying for them - that there's no real "freedom" issues at hand; it's just people wanting free stuff.
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. (H. L. Mencken)
The problem being is that they have to account for the fact that if an alien species makes contact, they have to pay out ALL the bets, not just a single winning ticket.
That's what insurance is for! Similar to those $500,000 half-court basketball 1-shot things. If the guy actually makes the basket, the insurance company pays out. The event organizer pays the insurer like a $100 premium whether the guy sinks the shot or not. Same goes for "hole in one" golf contests.

When you DO have socialism, the prick is FORCED to pay for the fire service that he doesn't want.
Oh, he wanted it alright. He just didn't think he had to pay for it and that they'd still show up. Looks like he thought wrong.

On the surface camera, we're talking 250 lines at 10fps. So not exactly staggering to begin with.
The fact is that when you quit, most people experience anxiety, extreme agitation, loss of appetite, and even nightmares for several days afterwards.
