    I mean to say 'customer' not 'company'. Sorry about my haste, there.

    See what? I'm not an On-Star company, I don't know how they advertise to you.

    Unless this were a story about Microsoft, then it'd be fair game.

    ... and completely update the software for the car?

    Heh. You may have missed it but we're talking about Android, here. The software update comes when you buy a new car.

    On-star is an advertising company?

    How big is thing thing going to be?

    Work-in-progress assets will not give you much of an idea about that. I've used 2 gigs of data to generate something that ends up taking less than 10 megabytes of disc-storage. Basically you start big and pair it down.

    But at least they forced their CEO to resign because he voted against same sex marriage.

    That is soooo not what happened. I'll never understand: If what Mozilla did was so wrong then why can't the people shaking their finger at them be honest about what actually happened?

    He donated $1,000 to have ads like this produced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PgjcgqFYP4. We heard about it because his own employees raised the issue.

    Saying he was forced to resign because of a vote he made is just plain dishonest.

    So why exactly is it that they should wait until it's off-the-shelf? "It's not their job" is not an answer.

    "The technology exists. It's not their job to fix the technology that is inadequate."

    Your clarification is in conflict with your point, yea that is a change in position.

    That's a nice little shift in position on the matter.

    Yeah, good thing this is Star Trek and we all use one brand of phone so all of the engineering is super simple.

    I *always* get this for my phones because I get sick of having to remember to charge them.

    Why not just charge it at night? If that's hard to remember you can do what I do and use it as an alarm clock, then you end up checking it every night anyway.

    That's true. I didn't vote for Romney because he ticked 'corrupt' on this application for president.

    Do you remeber setting jumpers on your sound card and then configuring each app to talk to it? Do you remember having multiple boot disks with different TSRs loaded so that you can have just enough of your 640k to start a game and have your mouse driver work? Do you remember how you didn't have example code you could easily find after an easy Google search that you could just copy from your browser and paste into your IDE all without preventing your family members from using the phone?

    Bitching about the bloat of a modern Windows install in comparison to a floppy-based version of DOS is like complaining about how many miles per gallon a Boeing passenger gets compared to your scooter.

    Is that actually possible or is there a drawback like "it's way too heavy" or "there's lots of energy but it doesn't come out quickly" or something like that? I know nothing of how plutonium is used to actually generate electricity.

    Meanwhile during that period women were becoming part of the work-force and more expensive houses were being purchased by dual-income families. Living expenses go up, the minimum wage suffers.

    Yes, stagnated, and your link illustrates it. Roll your mouse down that graph, you'll see the adjusted wage going down.
