Because if they raise the limit to 75, people will drive 85.

Americans have been conditioned to believe that the "real" speed limit is at least 10 mph over the posted limit.
Personal opinion does not qualify. Regardless, speed limits are absurd anyways. Speed advisories should be used and dangerous driving should be punished severely.
I apologize. I should have provided links to start with. The most important link for you is to the XDA forums. That is where ALL of the interesting stuff is discussed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1493
The Blackstar ROM I was discussing can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676086
The forum Android Development will be full of ROMs modified at the binary level (like Blackstar).
The forum Original Android Development will be full of ROMs modified at the source code level (like CyanogenMod).
I recommend ensuring that you have the latest modem firmware installed as the original firmware that was on my phone was absolutely terrible. You can find whatever the latest is via the XDA forums.
Speaking as someone who lives in a country with a history of consistently corrupt, dysfunctional governments, without any kind of police presence in the community, with disgustingly poor health and education services, this litany of complaint and hopelessness sounds to me like nothing more than childish whining.
What is sad is that when I started reading this sentence, I had to double-check to ensure you were not describing America. I thought to myself, "Sure, things are bad here but not THAT bad." But so many of those words resonate: corrupt, dysfunctional governments (lobbying, sequestration), and: with disgustingly poor health and education services (I am not able to see a doctor without paying obscene amounts of money and my children would be reading at a third grade level if I had not taught them myself). Concerning the police presence, it is only police cars and you should _never_ interact with the police as they will only try to find some way to arrest you. You are their enemy.
I guess the only difference between America and your terrible country is really only a matter of degree at this point. A crying shame. America, despite its warts, was at one time, the most incredibly awesome country this world has ever seen. I want it to be that way again.
The Samsung ROM was horrifically slow and ugly and filled with unremovable apps I didn't want, plus it contacted the AT&T mothership constantly even though I don't use AT&T and the phone is unlocked.
So I wiped and downgraded to CM10 stable. This one lets me make calls, but randomly reboots at least half a dozen times a day.
I assume you are talking about the AT&T Galaxy Note using the quincyatt rom.
The Jelly Bean versions all have severe issues, especially with the camera app; however, if you go to XDA developers forums and use a custom ROM based off of CM 10, you should be okay.
For myself, ICS was the most stable version... but even then, I had some really tough times until I upgraded the modem firmware.
If you are having rebooting issues, try doing a full wipe (including
I finally got my Note to be extremely stable but battery life was still a problem until I tried the Blackstar ROM. I should check which governor it uses and see if CM will also save as much battery power.
Good luck sir.
I have never understood this metric: "America consumes more per person than any other country."
So did someone follow an American around for a year and measure that person's energy use? It appears to me that what is being measured is the output of Industry and distributing that measurement amongst a population... which makes zero sense as a metric.
If CO2 output will be measured vs population, then Industry CO2 MUST be removed for the number to make any sense. The same is true for energy use. Industrial output has no absolute relation to total population.
I will grant without argument that an American driving a gas guzzling SUV will consume more energy than a nomadic herder deep in the plains of wtfistan.
You have got to be kidding, or have your head all the way up your ass. The GOP is the party that refuses to compromise in this round of budget cuts.
That does not make the Democrats angels. BOTH parties are terrible.
At some point we will have to realize that we have unemployable people and must do something with them.
They make great fertilizer if they are mulched. *shrug*
The issue is that controlling other people is evil (copyright is control). GPL is fighting fire with fire, and that is reasonable... but still just as evil as what it is fighting. Perhaps most people just do not want to participate in the fight and show it by using a BSD style license?
The GPL is genius thinking: Turn Copyright against itself... but it is still copyright. Ultimately, we do not have to play with the powermongers. BSD for the win.
Sure. I bet you'll have no problem pumping out enough pixels for a 7680x1600 display (or even 2560x1600, with a single monitor) to play games on or create and render video content on.
And my current PC can do this? It has a rough time with 2560x1600 on modern games with 4x Anti-aliasing. The video card is a 460GTX.
Seriously, I would be pretty happy if I could just dock my phone. Most of the stuff I do does not require much horsepower. I was pretty happy with my 486 and my only complaint at the time was that I only had 12 megabytes of RAM rather than 16.
Granted, software has bloated up, even Linux, but the 700+ megabytes of RAM and its CPU is enough for a fun desktop experience with Linux.
So, when we look at things rationally, and compare the evidence, it seems unless there's a prevailing scientific theory that we came from aquatic apes
I feel so stupid. I can not tell if I am being trolled here. It is a fascinating idea though.
Paragraphs are a unique modern invention designed to break huge walls of text into easily parsed chunks edible to the modern human brain. Learn them, use them, love them.
Interesting thoughts nevertheless.
You seem to be implying that there are things we should be doing that would prevent future such acts. So what should we be doing?
Hm. How about stopping the destruction of the American middle class? How about having the police actually acting like they are there to serve the public rather than to be the servants of the political elite? How about not pushing so many tens of thousands into grinding poverty every month?
I dunno. How about just not acting like assholes so there are fewer people motivated to act like assholes to us?
The reverse of brain drain - bring the best and brightest in the world into the U.S. and put them on the path of becoming citizens.
Hm. Where does H1-B fit into the part about becoming citizens? Just curious. AFAIK, there is no path to citizenship from H1-B.
(weirdly, the CAPTCHA was hirers)
Hm. I was never asked to vote on whether or not EA is the "Worst Company in America". That would indicate that the crossover between the group that was asked to vote and the group that buys games is not representative of the whole. There is no cognitive dissonance here.
It should be pointed out that EA did lose a ton of money last year ($45 million quarter 4 2012, $381 the quarter before that). If they keep on track they should go out of business pretty quickly.
This is good news.
