At least with the G1 the turn by turn directions were added as a download from the applications store. So, the phone is still at 1.6, but the maps application has the turn by turn directions.

While neither of us knows all the specific details of the case there are a few important points:
1) Just including GPL code -i.e. shipping and using Busy Box does not require the whole shebang to be GPL'd. If it wasn't linked to it then they just need to provide the source for Busy Box and all their modifications to Busy Box.
2) If they are indeed linking to a GPL (instead of LGPL) library then they do indeed need to GPL the whole shebang, or more likely if this is the case, remove the linking.
I worked for a place that shipped Emacs as part of the application install (we basically included a development environment). Emacs as all properly noted and the source was provided if needed, and the elisp extensions were provided as source. Including Emacs didn't require everything else to be GPL'd.
Stored Procedure do just the opposite, if you are using stored procedures then your application is in the database as well as using it. It is more tightly bound to the database then before. That said, there are times when using stored procedures is the best solution - speed, clarity come to mind.
Particularly as you would be typing tab in there to auto complete most of the path.
Have a D620 and does the same thing. Suckiest laptop I've ever had. Think I'm on the fourth motherboard and second CPU. Probably have a couple of months until it starts doing it again.
I have this exact same issue on a Dell D620 Latitude. It typically happens when compiling code. The exact same symptoms - machine is working hard, begins to heat up, machine gets really slow and cools off but remains glacial slow. I've ran one of the speed / temp sensor plotting tools and can see the result CPU running at half speed but working at 100%. System is so slow that moving the mouse and the like around is practically impossible, only a hard reboot clears the machine, if I soft reboot the problem is even in the bios (pushing down arrow is about 1 second to move to next selection). The machine normally does ~6000 bogomips, when running slow is about 200 bogomips.
I have had the motherboard and cpu replaced multiple times (4? 5? something like that). It always reoccurs a couple of months after the repair. This issue isn't confined to my D620, but all my co-workers which receive the same model Dell laptop have also had significant issues. It is so bad that we will be replacing our machines a year before they would normally be replaced. I'm lobbying hard to get something other than a Dell, but this is a challenge as they are my companies primary supplier.
The most annoying thing, is when the problem happens and you call Dell up they are always - please reinstall the operating system. I know it isn't the operating system, I can reproduce it in the bios. But they still persist in believing it is the OS (and yes, they are trying to blame Microsoft, this case, purely Dell's problem).
I'm not really sure. Visual Studio fails the most basic requirements for editing code. It isn't actually very good at editing text. The vaunted intellisense frequently fails to suggest anything, I have to actually think about indenting when using it, I can't define custom syntax highlighting, management of buffers is lacking (how can I put the same file into two windows displayed side by side?), and the compiler is really slow.
Perhaps this is a reaction to people "voting with their dollars" - i.e. dvd sales are down because rentals (Netflix, Redbox,
I switched to Netflix perhaps six months ago, and before that was using On Demand from Comcast. I struggle to remember the last dvd purchased, it was at least a couple of years back. I don't think my experience is unusual, On Demand and Netflix are fully taking care of all my video needs (including child that wishes to watch the same video 80 times). I have voted with my wallet - dvds have too high a cost for too little benefit, in fact, the cost of dvds actively interferes with other entertainment.
I use Emacs instead of Visual Studio for editing C++, C#, SQL, and XML. I even gave Visual Studio a chance when I switched to working with Visual C++, it just doesn't edit text as well (only thing it does better is Intellisense).
Emacs has better window management (multiple frames and windows, great for dual screens), better indenting (it does it for me in multiple languages), much better syntax highlighting, better searching (no silly window to search from), and even better environment for tracking through compilation errors (using Visual Studio as the compiler). The only thing I haven't got working is debugging Visual Studio executables in Emacs.
Having actually compared and used them both, I'm not sure why people use Visual Studio, it just isn't as good for developing software.
And yet it is still outselling the PS3 and 360 by huge margins.
What does that say about those consoles?
And this shows why it is so crazy. It is perfectly reasonable to separate email identities by using a naming scheme - ickpoo.srjc@eatmorefish.com is the email address I hand out for school related communications (skipping the school provided email because it is crap). Doing this allows me all sorts of nice things; simple sorting of correspondence, separation identities, and, at a glance I know what the use of the email address is. I'm not even trying to do fraud here.
It works just fine with Emacs (and probably VI). There are command line applications for project generation, compilation (ant), moving stuff to the phone, or the emulator, for watching logs on the phone / emulator. The only thing I haven't done is use the debugger, which I understand that Eclipse has nicely integrated.
Additionally there is the libraries that accupany the langauge to master. Just knowing the language well isn't enought.
Clearly I won't be using Ext4 for a long while. The attitude of T'so indicates that he doesn't really know the purpose of a file system. It doesn't matter how capable this guy is, he is an idiot.
Suggesting that this is the domain of the application is crazy. Writing a bunch of small files is par for the course for many applications, suddenly all these apps need to be reworked? The app wrote the file, probably received no error messages indicating that something might be wrong, and closed the file, and yet the file system is loosing data. The file system is suspect.
My daughter is so used to on demand / dvds that she will ask to pause normal cable channels.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
