Why? My Note 2 has 1729 hours (and counting) uptime right now. That's over 10 weeks since the last reboot. Still runs fast and responsive... Why reboot?

My Note 2 is rock-stable like yours. I just checked - 1729 hours and counting since last reboot. Battery easily lasts from 6 AM to midnight (30+% left when it finally hits the charger), with moderate use (30-40 minutes of voice, a few dozen texts, and 70-80 e-mails, with a bit of GPS and web access mixed in). Rock solid device, plenty of battery life - and I love the note-taking ability with the pen!

Got 1729 (and counting) hours on my Note 2 right now... It just runs and runs and runs... Reboot? What reboot?

Got 72 days so far (and counting) of uptime on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - nice Android experience as well! It's fast, responsive, does everything I need, and hasn't been rebooted in a long time. Is that your definition of slow and unusable and unstable?

1729 hours and counting... So it's been a little over 10 weeks since the last reboot. That's fairly stable, I think...

Yep! And with it the jobs needed to keep that studio working. Instead of 224 low income residents, we'd probably have a few thousand middle income residents. Damn the free market!

Zoning density may be an issue here. There may be a mandated minimum lot size to consider.

No the big problem with the China push was regulatory. In order to have an electric car, you have to have a way to charge it. Installation of charging stations at the owner's home was required - and that means it's limited to those who own an actual house (not an apartment). So the market instantly shrunk down by orders of magnitude. I know several wealthy people in Shanghai who were interested in the Tesla, but because they lived in penthouse apartments could not get a charging station installed - and thus end up sticking with the latest Mercedes or Porsche.

They all went to China. Beers, sodas, juice drinks - so many use disposable pull tab tops. And they're the original US toolings that were pumping them out in the 70s and 80s. How do I know? Because the top of the can is still embossed with English, just like back in the day. Newer toolings (China sourced) are all in Mandarin, but you still see a lot of those older toolings used to stamp the pull tabs - English embossed and all!

You're assuming you have a roof. Much of SE Asia in particular (and much of the bigger cities in the US and EU) have condos and apartments. There's not a lot of roof space per household there...

No, you just need a networked vacuum cleaner and then you can still access the computer remotely on your own personal cloud...

Doritos don't do well. But Mountain Dew...

Two lumps high or one lump low...

My Pebble works throughout my house. It's a 2400 square foot two-story, and when I'm cleaning the car, working on a bike, or gardening - I tend to leave the phone on the fireplace mantle (near the middle of the house). My Pebble maintains connection with it, no problem. When a call comes in, I know if I need to clean up and go call back, or can just ignore it for later.

Got it. So it's only about what's legal, not what's right/recommended, or what she directed that others do. Rules are for the little people, not Hillary, right?
