Android 2.2 onwards has hot spot and usb tethering built in, no?

Seems to work on my device.

You have to start somewhere.

Has Netcraft confirmed that the model is dead?

How many miles per gallon does your phone get?

This article is about the web, not the internet.

I wouldn't say the HUD concept went nowhere. The Corvette uses one.

Why would you want to skip the gen ed stuff? By the last year they were the only classes I went into because I really wanted to (the engineering/cs classes I could do out of the book if needed).

Expand your horizons. If you want to do something that is just CS, that's called a graduate degree in CS and that's just fine. But for an undergraduate degree, do the gen ed.
