It isn't really a pickup truck if it has more than two seats. Those are ultra low end SUVs. And shouldn't be exempt from the CAFE standards, just like SUVs shouldn't be exempt from the CAFE standards.
But I'm just an old fart with a pickup truck that seats two.
On subjects like mobile phones and driving, Wikipedia isn't a place to find information to resolve an issue. It's a battleground. And it's not productive to spectate at battlegrounds, even if you're mostly there to root for one of the teams.
But since you've been using the automatic function for all the sunny days, you're out of practice driving when the manual operation mode is required. In other words, when you need your driving skills most, you're sorta dumped into the role but out of practice.
I think, though, that Google purchasing and fostering Android was a positive contribution at a later date than you set. I have strong hopes of Android outlasting Google.
Right now Android is at this point equivalent to shitty MS-DOS in it's heyday. Like MS-DOS it has caused the buildup of a bunch of fairly openish hardware. (that's where Linux came in, in 1993-4)
Here where I live, people will spend fifty bucks on a book of coupons that entitles them to three or four car washes. I don't get it, but then I drive a stripped black Ford Ranger, not anything that turns heads. Repeated, excessive car-washes in the end damages the paint and you end up with an uglier car faster.
Since he doesn't appear to have really incorporated many "smart" functions using the pi, it could have all been done with the GSM module, a keypad, a PIC, and a generic 44780 based LCD display. That would, of course involve soldering, and assembly language, and no fat module idling along running linux.
Apple sued all the early GUI interfaces out of business. You might even say they caused Microsoft's success with Windows, by clearing the field for them.
The open architecture of the IBM PC was what made it a success. Virtually everything else was more closed. I mean, IBM published the commented ASM source code for the PC BIOS in the Techref Manual that anybody could buy. They used only common off the shelf chips. Once the cloners started duplicating the design (after enough people wrote clone BIOSes) there was no turning back.
You're right, though, that the cheap alternative was the cheap plastic junk with 8 bit processors, and proprietary ASICs that consumers could buy in department stores.
Virgin Mobile piggybacks on Sprint. $35 a month gets you 2.5g of data and 300 minutes. You can get a lower end Virgin android phone for $40. A midrange Samsung for a little over $100. You buy and own the phone for that and its an "Android iPod touch" at your option if you choose to take a little (or lot of) time off on buying the monthly top-off card you can get at most any drugstore.
But there are authentication schemes that won't allow you to use a no contract phone. Blizzard won't let you use their Authenticator app on a VM phone. I find it pleasing that Blizz feels that way about my phone, though.
If you leave your sandwich near me and come back to find a bite taken out of it, would you accept the argument, "You cannot ascertain the intake of past consumption with enough precision to absolutely blame me for eating your sandwich", or would you say I'm full of shit?
Don't discount the possibility that he'll have figured you out, and left a shit sandwich near you. Then who's full of shit?
True, but people will pay stupid massive amounts of money for his stuff. So in the sheer spirit of commercialism it's prudent, and profitable to humor the Warhol fans, to reap the highest profit from them. Andy certainly did this and we should too, in memory of him.

All the NIMBY types and loud anti-nuke folks have made sure it's too expensive.
Have you seen the prices at Krispy-Kreme lately??

One would hope that phone jammers use a HERF gun that destroys the offending phone, but usually you're right, the phone cuts in and out.
No matter where you live, selling weed without following specific mandated protocols, which involves regulations and taxes, is illegal.
No, your shirt needs to be partially torn off, in hand to hand combat.

In a similar vein, Internet Explorer runs on Solaris, since there once was a version that did.
To paraphrase a very bad politician, "At this point, what difference does it make?"
That was back with Windows 98. Explorer.exe was integrated with IE back then. They ended that because your browser shouldn't crash your whole desktop.
Get with the times.

You mean a timeline where Apple adopts BeOS instead of the kludge they (were) bought (by) instead?

I think the cheapest $9 Motorola Tracphone has no camera. Mine which I bought new less than two years ago is cameraless, anyway.

You are a troll. Go away.
Wave that cross in front of yourself, fucker. It's a good thing you have a psuedonym on Slashdot to hide behind.

Science is true only when verifiable. Listening has nothing to do with it at all.
He talks about the Scientific Method, and you respond by tossing around some of the popular brand names?
I mean, either address his statement or stop with the name dropping.
