This isnt true for recovery e3, just e2. My gt-i9000 came with android 2.1 and recovery e2. All I had to do was download an update.zip file, put on phones main memory, do recovery mode and install update.zip
that doesn't work on samsungs android 2.2 with recovery e3. They only trick that worked for me was using z4root from the market which does something with usb debugging to installed busybox and super user
You could always get a used Accord, Civic, VW Golf or Jetta (especially the diesels) and be over 30 mpg and have enough room for a normal family. Obviously if you have 8 kids you're in a different boat
It's why sometimes have a smaller, more local carrier is a better option. I have Immix Wireless, and while they don't have 3G (yet, early next year) they are small and provide fair service. 500 minutes, unlimited texting to anyone, unlimited data, uses T-Mobile, AT&T, and 10 other GSM providers when you aren't on their towers, all for $60 a month for my Android phone. Also, they don't lock their phones, they all come unlocked.
I agree and take it one step further. Why, oh why, aren't cell phone companies required to unlock the phones? Such as, if I pay Verizon outright for a BlackBerry Storm, why aren't they required to unlock the SIM so I can use whatever SIM I want? As is, you have to call the business support number and tell them you're heading over seas and are being given a prepaid SIM card, and then if they buy that they'll check your past credit with them and how long you've had them.
I understand for phones purchased at a discount with a 1 or 2 year contract, but why aren't they required to unlock the phone AFTER the contract is up and they've made back the full price of the phone and then some? That's why I like Immix Wireless. Even though they are small, and only cover a few counties in Pennsylvania (they have roaming agreements with ATT, T-Mobile and others) their phones come unlocked even with doing a 2 year agreement. I think all carriers should do that or at least be forced to unlock them after your contract is up.
Well, maybe they should have thought of that before they ever said or did what those documents mention. It's no different than talking behind someones back and thinking they'd NEVER find out, and then telling another friend who's going to speak about it in front of a group, and THEN telling them don't, it could hurt my relationship with so and so. You know what, it's not the person who's releasing the information that's going to hurt the relationship, it's YOU that already hurt the relationship by saying or doing what you did, and then pretending everything is fine between you and that person. It's a load of shit and it SHOULD be said.
No different than knowing your friend's wife is cheating on him. If you tell him, it's not YOU that hurt the relationship (which I would say because that just isn't right) but the wife who was cheating. That relationship was already done for.
Welcome to the real world. Some people, in fact more people than you think, live like this. It's not due to not saving, but many other factors.
Take for example my in-laws. He use to have a great job at ChemCut in State College, PA. The downsized, and he (as well as another friend of mine) got laid off. His wife had a great job at a nursing home, but due to MS a doctor basically said with her knees the way they are and the pain of MS, she couldn't work. It took 3 years for her disability to go thru, so for a long while they were living off of the pay check he now received for his new, lesser paying job at Advance Auto. They had saved, and saved a good amount, but over the course of the 3 years with loss of income, those savings disappeared quickly, and an IRA (if they have one, I'm sure they do) is something you really don't want to touch or can't touch until a certain time).
Now for someone like them, if the bank Advance Auto used were to have a glitch around the payday time and he was unable to be paid, that would really cripple them. Worse if the state used the same bank for the disability benefits and neither of them had the money show up when it should, and even worse yet if they wrote out the checks for the bills and had mailed them because their due date was soon approaching.
Not all people, and like I said with the economy, more than you think actually do live paycheck to paycheck and are able to only save a little if any at all.
Yeah, because the navigation system on the iPhone, Android, etc works without cell coverage. Buzz. You'll see a dot where you are, but you won't have any map around you. Also, the car nav units will mute the music and tell you the next step, so on a longggggg drive you don't accidentally miss the exit. If you have the radio up, you'll never hear that from an Android or iPhone. I've had both, and they don't compare to the in dash nav units at all.
Yes, but so many newer cars use CAN networks to integrate a *LOT* of stuff. For example, on a 2007+ Chrysler you can pull VSS, e-brake status, reverse light, etc from the CAN wire behind the radio. It's all part of the network. So it *is* possible to have CAN conflicts when you use an after market adapter to actually install the new after market head unit. There's been times when the GM CAN interface (required to keep the key is in reminder, headlights are on reminder, and create an accessory power source) causes enough interference on the CAN network that a remote start interface (idatalink for example) can't capture the car's VIN and platform information on the CAN network. Disconnect the radio interface adapter and the remote start interface can then get the required information for it to register the car and platform and work. Now granted the CAN has some fault tolerance built in, but you could see how an error'ed interface could cause collisions or other interference on the CAN, just like what could happen to a regular hub ran network (even with priority packets).
Also, some cars such as the VW, the after market radio harnesses are pin for the amp turn on, which IS correct on SOME years of VW. Certain years and models that pin is actually tied into the diagnostic system, and when you feed +12V from the after market radio's amp turn on circuit, it causes fault codes. The owner takes it into the dealership, and they are unable to correctly read and clear the codes as that 12V feed is completely botching the system. It's a known thing to those who have worked in the mobile electronics field.
They can charge you for this as they should, since it's not the car's fault, and any damage to any CAN controller or device on the network that gets damaged they could easily blame on the interface, which there goes the warranty coverage for those parts.
Some cars are even more tightly integrated than others. Trust me, I've worked in that field for a long, long time now
Hate to tell you, but you could have done it yourself really easily:
Here's the steps:
1 Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent an accidental short circuit.
2 Unclip the radio trim bezel (including the climate control panel) and remove). Remove (4) Phillips screws securing the factory head unit and disconnect the wiring.
And honestly step 1 is a bad idea if you're doing an add-on such as an iPod interface to the factory radio, as when you reconnect power the radio is going to ask for the unlock code, which most of the time if you're not the original owner with the card with the code requires you re-remove the radio, write down the serial number, and call the dealership and give them the serial number + vin number to get the unlock code. Just more of an annoyance than anything, and some dealerships require you to actually drive in so they can charge you $15 to get the code
In my mind I'd see it more like trying to remove a pressed wheel bearing. For example I have an OTC Hub Tamer Elite that has a C shaped part you put between the knuckle and the hub/rotor assembly, and then a J shaped piece that goes off of the C and ends up on the other side of the knuckle aligned with the hole in the wheel bearing. You put a long high strength bolt down the middle of the wheel bearing and into a disc, and then put a nut on. You hold the nut, and use an impact to drive the bolt. The bolt can't move inward any because of the J part, so the nut forces the disc to push the hub and/or wheel bearing out. Sometimes on a really stuck wheel bearing, the impact is giving all it's got but nothing is moving, and you're now maxing out what the 500 lb/ft impact can do. The movements near the end of tightening it as far as it can go are really, really small, but man there's a lot of pressure on the nut, bolt, and bearing. In that situation, you just take a hammer and smack the J once, and it that bearing comes flying out, and I mean flying. So in *my* mind, a lot of movement would mean there's possibly not as much pressure between the two, which is allowing it to move faster, where as the slower movement would possibly mean increased pressure and that's why the movement is so small.
Either way I'm not a geologist or a seismologist or whatever, so what do I know:)

but unless the technology has a GPS receiver or otherwise connected to the speed sensor, you'd have to GET OUT of the car to make the call. And what are you always told when you have to pull over along side the road.. STAY IN THE CAR. It's bad enough people rear end police cars with the lights on, but if you're standing outside the car, that's just another disaster waiting to happen

Can anyone convince me that there's no reason to fear the Oracle OpenOffice.org? Will it remain the de facto standard?
That made me chuckle.. I'm pretty sure at this point Microsoft Office is the de facto standard (even if it doesn't follow standards). The other chuckle I got was I was actually able to paste into a slashdot comment using Chrome again! Finally!
GE trains would be Electric or Hybrid? I mean the wheels turn off of electric motors, but the power isn't stored in batteries, it does use diesel generators to provide the power...
