I have a Nexus One on AT&T. Before 2.2 was released I tried to download PDANet but it wasn't showing up in the Android Market. I found out that all I had to do was take out the SIM card and use the phone over my wireless connection at home and then PDANet showed up. Alternatively, I could have just downloaded the.apk file and copied onto my phone via USB. Now I just use the default OS tethering options. Have carriers released other Android phones with a modified OS that doesn't allow you to mount the phone's SD card as a USB drive on your computer?
Yeah, I think someone ran a simulation of the Chinese invading Alaska in 2070-something. From what I remember, it didn't end well for anyone except the cockroaches.
To most people in the US, the two mainstream political parties are basically two sports teams, like the Cowboys and the Saints. Most are die hard rabid fans who don't care about anything except for winning.
The so-called "innocent" share holders? Tough shit... Next time keep an eye on the people you invest with.
Right, because when companies like Enron are cooking the books and even their fucking accounting firm is in on it, they make sure to publish all of this in their 10-K... Enact your haphazard system and watch the market plummet to zero as no one will invest if they can be held liable for things they have no control over and have no way of knowing.
I don't know. I've noticed that a lot of people feel inclined to look at the passenger while talking to them. This is a huge pet peeve of mine, especially when driving behind someone doing this since they tend to slam on the brakes when they finally do glance up and see brake lights a mile ahead of them. When talking on the phone people are usually looking at the road.
People can speak and act differently in different circumstances. I do not act and speak the same way at work as I do at home or with friends. Where did I ever say anything about people who are only capable of speaking in total profanity? I said that just because someone uses words that YOU find profane doesn't mean they are unintelligent. This has nothing to do with ghetto people. I went to a university to earn my bachelor's and am currently pursuing a master's degree, but I'll cuss like a fucking sailor if I want to. The point I was trying to make, jackass, is that every single generation accuses the following generation of "perversion of societal norms". No shit, genius. Societal norms change when new generations emerge and start to take over the culture. The fact that you refer to it as a perversion is simply a matter of perspective, such as it has been for every single generation since civilization began.
Such nonsense. The fact that someone uses some words that you don't approve of for normal use, despite the fact that they have the exact same meanings as other words that for some reason are acceptable, has very little to do with who one idolizes. Use of these subjectively unacceptable words and phrases does not in any way constitute a representation of how decent, intelligent, educated, articulate, or industrious someone is. Your argument is the same tired old chestnut about how things were better in the old days because you had to walk uphill in the snow and youngsters respected their elders.
Wait until the FBI and local police get these. I'm sure the idea of having an unmanned, omnipresent watchdog in the skies causes them to cream in their pants.
Just because you don't understand why people attempt to avoid jury duty doesn't make them any more selfish than you. Right out of college I was working a crappy job with hourly pay. If I didn't work, I wouldn't get paid. In Texas your employer is not required to pay you for days missed because of jury duty, they just can't fire you.
I was part of a jury pool once which meant I had to drive to downtown Houston and find my way to the Harris County court house. If you have ever been to Houston you will understand that if you don't live inside the 610 loop, your only options for getting downtown is to drive yourself or triple your travel time by attempting to take the bus. There are parking garages for the court house which are fairly reasonable at around $6 for the day. So I had to miss a day of work, without pay, to drive downtown and pay $6 for parking in order to fulfill my civic duty and received a check for $6.50 for the effort.
Luckily it was only one day of work and I didn't get selected, probably because I said I have no idea how to quantify someone's pain and suffering and convert that to a dollar amount. If I had been selected and had to serve on that jury for a week or more I would have been broke and homeless. Then there is the entire jury pooling process with the rude courthouse clerks and how they basically make you waste an entire day just sitting around waiting.
I don't care if women breast feed in public, but I don't think it should be legal unless they also make it legal for me to urinate in public without ending up on a sex offender registry.
People have been doing this sort of look-and-feel swap-out for years; it seems best to me as a practical joke
Because they can. That should be a good enough reason for any linux or OSS enthusiast. No need to be pretentious just because people prefer a Windows theme if they are used to it.
What enlightened state are you from? I would like to know so that I may list it when I make overly generalized claims about which states are full of elitist assholes.
I never liked Shazam anyway. I've always been more fond of SoundHound. I forget what the original name was, but they have both iPhone and Android versions.
I have never had anyone give me any trouble when asked to step aside.
It's you twats that are so self involved you expect everyone to just know your'e there that cause unrest.
Here is a clue. No one cares about you, no one pays attention to you, so sometime you need to just ask for someone to step aside.
Welcome to society, dirtbag.
Please explain how the people obeying the sign and attempting to walk on the left side of the moving walkway are self-involved twats while the people who intentionally stand in the "walking" section of the moving walkway are not.
I put a lot of effort into making sure not to unnecessarily inconvenience anyone around me. Its called being considerate. The fact that you defend the oblivious pricks who just wonder around aimlessly and don't notice anyone else until they plow right into them leads me to believe that you are unfamiliar with this concept.
Exactly. The iPhone 4 is only marginally better, from a technical standpoint, than the Nexus One:
iPhone 4
Processor: 1 GHz
Storage: 16 or 32 GB
Battery: built in 3.7 V 1420 mAh
Memory: 512 MB eDRAM
Display: LED backlit IPS LCD, 3.5-inch screen (diagonally), 640-by-960-pixel resolution at 326 ppi, 800:1 contrast ratio
Camera: Rear 5 MP, HD video (720p) at 30 fps, 1.75 m size pixels, 5× digital zoom, LED flash; Front VGA 0.3MP SD video (480p) at 30 fps 25.17 s size pixels
Nexus One
Processor: 1 GHz
Storage: 512 MB onboard, expandable to 32 GB microSDHC
Battery: Removable 1400mAh
Memory: 512 MB DRAM
Display: 480 x 800 px (PenTile RGBG), 3.7 in (94 mm), 254 ppi, 3:5 aspect ratio, WVGA, 24-bit color AMOLED with 100,000:1 contrast ratio and 1 ms response rate
Camera: 5.0 megapixel with video (720 x 480 px at 20 fps or higher), LED flash and auto focus.
The iPhone 4 came out almost seven months after the Nexus One and is only marginally (technically) better. Either the GP is a troll or they simply have no idea what they're talking about.
All of the specs used for comparison were taking from each device's Wikipedia article.
I love NetFlix, but they do not have show episodes that have not yet been released on DVD. Hulu has episodes of some shows that aired yesterday. I think their pricing is insane, especially if they still have ads, but Hulu certainly has a few advantages.

Really? I am not aware of any such laws in Texas and you can't really go any further south.
FYI, the domain in your signature expired 25 days ago.

It is inevitable, but will it be sudden?

Isn't that the same bullshit argument Eminem threw out when people were copying his CD with the DRM that could be defeated by using a black marker?

I'll get off your fucking lawn now, sir.

So, you're a legal positivist?
Thanks to denial, I'm immortal!

The IRS doesn't follow GAAP.
Now I remember, it used to be called Midomi.
