it's long, straight, and round. What level of lift does it provide? http://www.airliners.net/aviat... and other sources indicate it's trivial.

So? If that's the only requirement, then the fuselage should be pitted, yes?

Yes, but golf balls travel further because they are turbulent.

The problem with this is why the person doing the study is important. If, when you get 10 MPH over the limit, the windshield pops up a huge warning message, that's bad. But having the speed on the view 100% of the time, with the color of the display changing as the limit is reached, and passed, would give the same information and should make you more safe, not less. I could ask the same question and get opposite answers, depending on what I want to find.

The HUD that's augmented reality (overlaying IR on real view, so you see deer sooner and such), that should never be a distraction.

What is in the HUD that's distracting? Everything the ECU knows, displayed in Matrix style? Yes, distracting and not useful. But the tasteful HUDs? If they are distracting and intrusive, that's more a driver problem, not a HUD problem.

Nope that's the first time for the R5 (the world's thinnest phone, or was last I checked). The other times were for the Find 7 (which I own), which was, at the time of purchase, the highest pixel density of any phone, though others have matched QHD, but in a (smaller) 5.1 screen.

Just because I'm happy with my purchase doesn't mean I'm a shill. Just trying to make the point that you can't judge every smartphone by the iPhone or Samsung de jour. So many complain about a specific flaw in a specific model, then generalize. Yes, thinner can mean weaker, that's why Oppo made a video of the world's thinnest phone cracking nuts, cutting apples and watermelons, and being run over by a car. If you still think that thin means weak, that's your insanity, not reality.

And yes, I watched all the marketing material and read many reviews before buying the Oppo, since I hadn't heard about them until I was looking for a replacement for my S3. The marketing videos seem relevant to the complaints here.

I gave up on Samsung with the S3. Given the claims and the reality, it isn't worth my money to try again after something so por and didn't do what they said. But other Android makers of the day beat the specs and weren't lying about them. But good to hear you have good experience with your S6

No, it doesn't.

Hmm, thinner than an iPhone, and they drive a car over it. Though I didn't see a bend test, they seem to be implying it's strong.

They may be expecting an advantage to 1000 cycles, but have only tested to 200 because of the time involved, and released with 200, and are halfway to 1000 by now.

It's only your assumption that they aren't testing to 1000.

Stop using Samsung. My S3 sounds like that. But I switched to Oppo, and there's a world of difference. Put the phone in some reasonable power-savings for a weekend camping trip, and you'll be fine (at least I can do that with my Find 7). But my S3 wouldn't last 8 hours at work without a charge. Even if I never used it once in that time.

My Oppo Find 7 will run 3 days or so if the screen doesn't come on. That's with cellular on (And in range, I've never had it out of range, but my Samsung Galaxy S3 would last about an hour if you were out of coverage). And it has a fast charger, charge about 1% per minute, so it's usable at 1 hour charge every 2 days. I'm no longer tied to a charger, like my S3 which, even under very light use, couldn't last an 8 hour day without being charged, so it was plugged in nearly 100% of the time.

Not shaving, but does cutting a watermelon with a phone count?

My Oppo Find 7 is better than a friend's iPhone 6 of the same age.

The problem isn't "android" but the phones you are looking at. Target longer lives and you'll find options. My Samsung Galaxy S3 would last less than 30 minutes with a graphical game, or movie playing. I'll never go Samsung again. On the car charger, the GPS with screen off, giving directions would drain faster than it would charge, less than 20 minutes of GPS (off charger, about 30-40 on). If you went somewhere an hour away, you'd have to get close before turning on the directions app, or you'd never make it where you are going. But my current, the Oppo, does much better, even using the same maps/directions app.

Back when they lasted a week on a charge? Yes, they were larger. And lasted longer. Much longer. Of course the phones were lower-draw (though not as low as you'd think, as the radios were more power hungry).

Your logic fails, as it's open to "no true puritan" for any pregnancy.

Bristol Palin practices abstinence quite publicly, and ended up unwed and pregnant again.

Those educated puritanically get pregnant more often than those who are educated in a non-puritan manner.

By Constitutional standards, that had no meaning. An individual can infringe on someone else's rights. Kidnapping, murder, assault, rape are all illegal, because they infringe on the rights of others. So, note the wording. It should be illegal for any business to enforce a "no firearms" rule. Also note, this Amendment doesn't restrict itself to US jurisdiction, as so many others do, with "residents" or "citizens", but "people". So The UK is violating the US constititution by infringing on The Right of The People to keep and bear arms.

Also, the use of "infringed" is unique. It appears nowhere else in the Constitution. Infringe is a different standard than used anywhere else.

For many reasons, the 2nd Amendment is unenforceable. If you take the whole sentence, with the first part proven wrong (by our holding of a standing army), then you could take the whole thing to be false (even if the second clause is valid on its own, the sentence is invalid, when any part is invalid). The wording in the second clause is unusual and out of place, and so impractical as to be invalid (banning people from refusing entry to personal guests in your own home based on the presence or absence of arms on the guests). The official response to that for the 9th and 10th Amendments was to essentially declare them invalid. The same should be done with the 2nd, and a new Amendment considered if that's an issue to enough people. Neither the "for" nor "against" crowds can agree internally as to the meaning, let alone the two groups agreeing on a single meaning.
