I may be using "LTE" wrong (this was several years ago). I'm on T-Mobile and they started calling HSPA+ "LTE" to compete with other brands. The N4 did support HSPA+ out of the box and had great throughput. After they pushed out their updates mine lost the capability of using HSPA+ and was locked firmly into the old 3G speeds.
The XDA crowd came up with a custom flash of some sort for it. The damage was done by that point however. I had loaned the friend to a relative who said "Nope, if they'll do stuff like that I'm gettin' an iPhone".
Ah, you remind me of the good old days when I used to race. The vette fanboys were just as insufferable then as well (always needing to prove something) and were guaranteed to rise to the bait!
For some reason the guys in the blue corvettes always spun out. We never did figure that one out. The corner workers knew to look out for them though.
By the way, you type like a sixteen year old. You're kinda hard to take seriously (but I am enjoying your posts).
You're trying to prove your "stomping" assertion with a Vette that is a little under three seconds faster over a seven minute course?
Next month someone else will tweak something to be faster than the Vette. And month after that someone else will tweak another car, and another...
Inline sixes also can weigh more, take up more space under the hood and can require a stronger frame in an offset front end crash. Remember, accountants run the companies, not the engineers.
Don't get me wrong, I have four cars with inline sixes outside as I type this but the bean counters don't really like them.
Which is worse? They guy (presumably) getting paid to write about Star Wars on a movie blog or the guy defending Star Wars on Slashdot?
Whatever you do, don't read Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex!
So here's a question. The Fine Summary states that CFL's waste lots of fuel just by being shipped here (The US). Are incandescents still made domestically or the submitter just being pissy?
You could, but my (admittedly limited) understanding is that you would increase noise in the circuit. Do a Google search for Johnson Noise. Probably wouldn't matter much in a digital circuit but something like a decent home brew audio amp might suffer.
Large warehouse management systems usually have a "footprint code" (or some other similar term) for all the items in the system that they ship. If someone is lazy and doesn't put one in (or uses some default setting) then the system picks the wrong size box to ship the product. The crew working shipping can't change it so they just ship it and tell the monkeys in charge they've got a bad footprint. *Hopefully* someone cares enough to actually change it to the right code.
I've seen 100 CD's go out in 100 separate boxes for this reason.
Nuclear explosives though are actually poor tools to fracture a well with since the intense heat "glasses" the rock and prevents flow. There was some testing of nuclear weapons in Colorado (and possible elsewhere) many moons ago for the purpose of natural gas mining. The gas that was produced was found to be too radioactive to sell. I imagine that since they were trying to extract gas and not liquid the glassing may have had less impact. Either way it's sounds like it's not that viable a method.

...about "crappy" analog, but my cell service under analog was much clearer than it ever was under digital. Nasty compression artifacts, warbled sound and crappy coverage are the norm now. When I had analog (many moons ago) most people couldn't even tell I was on a cell phone.
I wandered in and looked at some of the demos, one would think they would try and make the picture as perfect as possible. When the picture was still it looked really good, but whenever they panned or there was action the picture had a bunch of compression artifacts.
What did blow me away was OTA HD. I've been playing with and HD tuner card and the clarity really is amazing. I figure it's what the HD discs were supposed to look like. Too bad they seemed to have screwed it up.

They disabled LTE on my Nexus 4 with an update. Nothing like a "flagship" device that has 3G...
...it will costs thousands to repair... if parts are even available...
...all I can say is sell your HP stock! They're doomed.
When RIM launched the playbook it didn't have native email apps for security reasons. In order to use email and calendaring you had to own a blackberry and tether it or something like that. This lead to a lot of confusion on what it's internet capabilities actually were.

To be fair it would probably just be permanent carpal tunnel syndrome, no deaths involved.

Er, inline V8? I do not think that means what you think it means...

The good news is they'll give you a free ink jet printer! The bad news is they'll make you pay retail for the cartridges...
