Additionally, I have heard praise over having both touchscreen and the blackberry mini-joystick thing on the G1...which is pretty much why I plan to get one. Oh, also that whole not starting at 500$ thing is a pretty good reason too.
If you think that anything other than linux is the most power efficient, I'd like to not only point you to the responses below but also let you know that you have it pretty much backwards. Linux distros can not only be more efficient but can even be specifically aimed to be even moreso on top of that. PowerTOP was my first thought, as well.
I mean what do you want to point people to? OSX? Vista? Lets be honest now. Try not to throw chairs next time.
Actually, they're pretty accurate. You're considered to have no rights in those zones, it's not just the unreasonable search and seizure parts that are violated.
Once again, your own view would mean it's subjective. Overall is different.
The real place all companies cut corners is on the actual materials used. You wouldn't know they difference, but they do (and companies that safety test for them) do. Changing solders, changing the material composition of a metal, these are the real places where things are cheap. However, you will not notice these by feel any more than people claim to be hypersensitive to radio frequency. It is 100% placebo and subjective. Just because the iphone has a really cheap piece of aluminum on the back doesn't make it more or less "cheap" than any other phone that also happens to have a piece of aluminum on the back.
Manufacturing is a moot point; even companies with stringent manufacturing requirements still make defects; even if it compromises safety it is a given that all products are just not 100% made the same every time. If you happen to be the one person in 100 thousand that gets the busted model, does that mean all phones of said type have crap quality? To you, I'm sure it does. However, subjective yet again.
Also, no moving pieces? Have you heard of a phone that has moving pieces? No. Do phones have a place that a battery slides off? You damn well better hope so, or you'll be back in proprietary battery replacement fiasco round 2. Good choice in purchases there, mate. Enjoy your DRM.
read above, you just supported exactly what I said. There's always someone who thinks it feels cheap or hates XYZ product, it doesn't mean the majority agree.
I get what you mean, but what makes you think the Iphone has some magic exception in it being jailbroken? From a basic marketing perspective, sure, the more hype the better. However, these things are selling out as is, so obviously they don't need the hype.
Every phone in existence is always jailbroken, courtesy of the DMCA and sites like howardforums.com . I wouldn't count that as a notch for hype. I wouldn't count developing native ABI applications for that as something of that nature as well, considering that it's similarities to mac OS made it easy for people to port over.
This has nothing to do with hype. This is like saying "oh look, there's so many features to a smartphone". Or "Look at the windows apps I can install on my windows mobile device!" Welcome to being a victim of consumerism, buddy.
In reality, every phone feels like a toy if you don't like it.
It's 100% subjective, and reflects on nothing. Some people with big or small hands or fingers feel certain phones feel like a toy. Does that mean they do to the other 99% of the users of said device? No. Does that mean it "feels cheap?" no.
Meanwhile, the apps on this thing alone motivate me to want to get it. I'm trying to sell off my E61i to get a G1.
No, out of the (insert an infinte number of categories) is an infinite number of categories of people. It doesn't fit as "American". Thus, american is not as accurate as the more general "we're all monkeys (or apes if you prefer)".
Simply because, we are not Americans. We are residents of America that immigrated from elsewhere, unless you're a native American. Thus the title "Native American". The rest of us, are not "native americans". This includes by default, almost all white and black people.
Well no, I would say Obama is just as much like his grandfather as any white person is like any other completely random white person, sans heredity.
You're really making a comparison out of something I wouldn't really say is apples to apples.
Some African Americans are Mulatto to some degree. I'd say there's a point where people choose to identify the one way or the other because they need something to identify with. I would say it's far stretch to even say everyone is mulatto. Remember, the US is a melting pot, not a mutt. Think of it like ingredients floating in a soup, not necessarily soluble. Lots of people who live in the US (especially in big cities) are from specific countries of origin. If you're trying to claim the whole evolutionary "all people started in africa" thing, then that's another story altogether. If you're not, you have neglected 80% of the world that indeed has ancestors strictly from places other than africa, and also places that are not black but dark skinned, such as korea/brazil. Once again, you'd be so far from apples to apples that it's pretty much off topic.
I do agree that a lot of the south chooses to call themselves whites or rednecks out of ignorance to their ancestry, or that don't want to admit that "we didn't just grow up in the US" or will try to play it as politically sensitive and just say "we're Americans".
The closest thing in your original type of example to me is: we're all monkeys, and if you squint hard enough any monkey, in the right like, etc, because of tons of random things, someone can look like another monkey, aka the "I've seen you somewhere before!" and the whole small world expression.
Article says it all with this one sentence: "The problem with an "unlimited access" plan, explains Hackett, is that it "devalues what a megabyte is worth".
So clearly, we should charge more for things that we already oversell. Yes, what a wonderful man this guy! (sarcasm)
If you guys pushed for better connections, they would start to be worked on. As is, you are getting raked over the coals worse than we are in the US.
Exactly? No. Somewhat? Of course. He is biologically related. That's like saying that russian women tend to look russian. Of course they will. He is Mulatto, which is not white or black technically. However, double standards mean that people care more about the black side than regard both equally. Sad thing is the amount of racism in certain areas in the south may come out big time if Obama becomes president.
I'm sorry. I talked like an ass today, and have only noticed in retrospect. I will try to answer another day when my head is not in my ass. My apologies to you, and the other poster.
Let me give you one line that sums up why you are incorrect:
Of course that there is no evidence for God's existence is not necessarily evidence for God's nonexistence, though it might be if we had reason for thinking that if God existed there would be evidence for this.
The big issue here, is how plausible you, yes you personally, find the idea that "god" or whatever you define as "god" to have been able to create our planet, all other concepts and things being equal. To me, I find it implausible. This is the real grey area. The grey area is not science or god, the real grey area is implausible or not.
Uh, maybe the reality is that the more people accept science, the less they are theists. I think theists tend to not understand that concept.
Science and god are opposites. The whole god concept has only been around a few thousand years, and yet the planet has existed for millions (and we are certainly not the oldest planet in the galaxy, as there is empirical evidence to back that up). If you believe some "being" in some form or another that cannot be scientifically explained at all is a reason for our planet's existence, then I have a bridge I would like to sell to you.
Of course, if you like to believe in magical sky wizards, please go ahead, but don't dare bring your beliefs on anyone else in the world. They are your personal beliefs and you should be entitled to that, but not to bring that upon other people.
Where do you talk this shit? I've been in Germany, as well.
I didn't say that their cultures were different. I said "It's an american fallacy that people think they can stick someone with prices. Really it's only been in place since the FDIC came into play. After having traveled to europe, the middle east, and south america, I can confirm that it is only a US thing. Also, the consumers are more educated and you dont' find them treated like shit."
In other countries, they round dollars, they negotiate. This has nothing to do with capitalism, and more to do with being polite to the consumer, aka my point.
Funny. Considering that software piracy is an accurate term, I'd say you'd go to any length to vilify someone as a "pirate". Reason people call it pirate? Because it's not copyright infringement and it's not physical theft, or even tangible theft. You're not losing anything, and we're not making a profit. So what's left? DMCA, and that's all.
I seem to recall someone saying many times over that this was not the first 1.5TB, but that it's claimed anyway (with more specifics, like "first consumer") etc.
Beyond that, insert 1.5TB ought to be good enough for anyone, and will it blend jokes here.
I got like 10 responses, about half were a flamewar with some people. I thought switches and such already make up for this, and the comment above yours makes me concerned as well, the whole decommoditize aspect (if it's accurate)

As a matter of technical humor, you do realize that one of the first things a trojan tends to infect is your system restore, right?
I do see your sarcasm, but I do still feel sorry for the suckers that bought those, you were actually dead on :P
Itunes vs piratebay. One's a hell of a lot cheaper.
quoted: "There's a lot of non-tech-savvy people who would never consider ever getting any other smartphone that would love to have an iPhone."
This is called a trend. They die as fast as they come up. Give it a year or two and the iphone won't be so interesting.

Of course that there is no evidence for God's existence is not necessarily evidence for God's nonexistence, though it might be if we had reason for thinking that if God existed there would be evidence for this.
This all boils back to the same basic philosophy, empiricism vs rationalism or just straight agnosticism vs atheism .

I guess the basic answer is:
I got it wrong, and so is the concept?
We need to get piratebay involved.
Ooops, they already did:
