Thats great I have no problem with people imagrating here from another country none at all. You said the majic word became a citizen which means legal. Im talking about the illegal ones. And really this should not be an issue at all in this country. Illegal means just that illegal or against the law. So why do we debate this in our country we dont debate any other illegal act nor do we turn a blind eye to anyone else in this country who breaks the law. If I were for example making moonshine, even though I could make good money, supply a demand, better me and my family, and put money back into the economy buying the supplies needed and creating a few jobs hiring someone to help me I would still be illegal in doing so because making corn whiskey is illegal. Now would the government turn a blind eye to it? Most certainly not. I would be arrested and chared with bootlegging. Why because the government isn't getting their tax money on it and because I didn't go thru the proper steps to get the permits needed to make moonshine legally. Its the same with anyone being here illegal. They work yes. They work hard and work for a cheap wage. They are skilled workers but the problem is they are not paying taxes like legal Americans have to. Not paying into social security which is about to break it. Now I say lets do what it takes to get them legal so they can pay taxes like everyone else and maybe help stimulate the economy.....

As far as our jobs going to Mexico thats just one more example of piss poor politicians in Washington (both parties). Thats kinda like a business owner sending his employees across the street to work for his competition, giving them a bonus to do so and then wonder why he is going broke..... like I said none of them could effectively manage McDonald's much less manage our country

I almost have wife convinced to get an s3. If she didnt, I told her I wanted her upgrade. That made her mad for some reason. Because her underlying plan has been to keep her current phone til it breaks completely. I just dont see that happening for a few months but my upgrade will be here in june. Might wait for that s4.

I gotta admit, I'm using my Rocket less and less. It's quickly becoming my iPod: that thing I use to play music while I'm on an airplane. Even games, one of the main reasons I held onto it, are not being handled by my Note II. Only difference is that I can drop a SIM card into it if needed and use it as a backup phone.

Now that that's out of the way, I think you might at least stop in every once in a while to see how your old friends and enemies are doing. Internet forums are strange like that. You somehow build a comradery with the people you share a similar passion with. Even if you can't stand there onscreen presence. It's kinda like a creepier version of an extended family actually.

[Off-topic] Brad.S.:
I would agree, but it is a functional spoiler

Think: Nascar. At speeds above 150'ish it will provide perfect aerodynamics for needed downforce.

At low speeds the air is guided over it like it's not there.

This Stingray is rated for 18/30 mpg ... with a V8. lol

[Off-topic] mtdew:
Its a rwd car at high speed air under the car creates lift effectively reducing traction the spoiler is used to counter this effect holding your power to the ground. It should allow for better takeoffs acceleration and handling.
[Off-topic] jd1639:
My Caman S's spoiler raises at speed when you need the down force and lowers below 75 to reduce drag. Surprised the vett didn't do something like that

Sent from the short bus
[Off-topic] mtdew:
You would be incorrect spoilers actually help on rwd because even at highway speeds you can get some lift the spoiler keeps your driving power on the road. It's wasting less energy to keep it at those speeds and creates better stability.

Bad News....

My Skyrocket is in terrible shape. I think it has stuck power button or whatever it is that is causing it to die and restart on its own, not to mention it also has very low signal strenght when inside a building. I believe it is the phone coz compared to my old iphone 3gs the signal is way too low and sometimes I even lose signal. :( I'm thinking about going back to iPhone (maybe the iphone 5) because I can't have unreliable phone as I'm starting a new business soon. Man, this really sucks. I'm going to keep the Skyrocket though and try and fix it til it is stable enough so that my son can use it to play his toddler apps. I'm not trying to do an android vs iphone flame war, just really kinda feel terrible about my phone situation esp I'm out of the country. Just plain sucks. I just flashed Vincom's Superlite and I'm on UCLI3 radio... I really love how smooth it is except for the signal and bootloop situation it would have been a perfect ROM.:crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
I kind of wish that "vote for your favorite ROM" thread would have stayed open. It would've ended badly, yeah, but had the OP thought about it some more, it could've been an anonymous vote, and had more of the once-popular derelict and abandoned ROMs been included, the results could've been interesting. I know that the ROM currently on my Rocket is most certainly not my favorite ROM for the Rocket. It's solid and entertaining, yeah, but my favorite Rocket ROM is unlikely to ever be updated again, and I just don't spend enough time with my SR to bother flashing different ROMs on it now. I've found a daily driver, I'm happy.

My Note II's a different story. I've tried a bunch of ROMs, and keep ending up on the DD I'm using now. Just a fine piece of programming.
[Off-topic] hechoen:
I would have liked to see the results as well. We could start an anonymous poll along the lines of "Who wants to see the vote for your favorite ROM thread unlocked"! No way in hell am I starting the thread though. I've got enough infractions to worry about. lol

[Off-topic] hechoen:
I would agree, normally I do not like best threads. I saw this one as a way to gather a baseline for noobs to use. Let's say noob a says to self "I wonder what ROMS are really good?' if that vote was allowed to continue it could have been used as a general representation of what the community uses. Leaving it at that could have been useful. If it could have been kept just to the poll WITHOUT the "my ROM is bigger than your ROM" mentality. Since we all know that most likely wouldn't happen I'm OK with the MODs locking it down. This isn't meant to turn into a debate like it sometimes does between you and I. lol You asked my reasoning and I explained it.
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
Purely out of interest on my part, especially as we've had a number of new Skyrocket ROMs drop right around the time I was expecting Skyrocket support at XDA to plummet. It would've ended in a fight, as the violently rabid fans of one ROM would've met those who are sick of hearing about how that particular ROM is the best thing since the Galaxy S platform came to be, but it would've been interesting to see what the numbers looked like before we got there.
[Off-topic] mtdew:
Lol I enjoy a good debate I normally hate arguments.

I do see your point but this also sets up the issue of so many won't try other ROMs. They will see the baseline go for it and likely never see the potential of other ROMs. I firmly believe that as a development platform those of us who don't drop ROMs mods kernels or anything should at least have the decency to experiment and find answers for ourselves. I hate hotel interwebs they keep blocking me from github I can't sync pa :(
[Off-topic] hechoen:
LOL. This won't be much of a debate then. I think we basically agree on a lot of the points. I don't know whether it would have in impact on people trying different ROMs or not though. I think some people will continue to flash. Those are the people that come here to learn and after I while are also the people who stick around. Then there is the other user set that just wants bloat gone and a "cool' ROM. Those, I think, are more inclined to flash once and never be heard from again. It's just the way XDA is headed and that might make a much more interesting debate.:cool:
[Off-topic] mtdew:
Lol don't get me started on xda's direction.

Normally I think we are on the same page it's mostly a breakdown in tone due to interpretation on the internet.

How about its just interesting to see the numbers on who's running what ROM. Don't call it best, call it 'what are you currently running'

[Off-topic] mtdew:
First quote: what good will that data do anyone I've run several ROMs on any given day depending on my mood so that data won't reflect true results well as I know there are several "flashoholics".

Second quote: how can you judge me without even knowing my position. I've seen a lot of your posts you are quite shortsighted, judgemental, and holier than thou art. You let your emotions rule everything and judge people before actually knowing them. You don't have to agree with people but you also don't need to be like you are.
[Off-topic] whosgotlag:
First part: Simply put, because I'm not a flashaholic. I ran one CM10 nightly, then the stable when it was released, and then the PAC Rom. When it was ICS, I tried each of the main three and that was it. I don't have the time or need or want to flash 30 different ROMs to try them all out. I thought it'd be nice to SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE USING - and it's absolutely hilarious that the maturity of the community isn't trusted enough to answer such a simple question. No wait, it's not hilarious, it's pathetic.

Second part: Oh look, you got emotional without even understanding what I meant. I can say the same thing about your posts, pretty much word for word, but I'm not going to - not because I'm 'holier than thou' but because I've seen the type of things you choose to chime in with, and come to the conclusion that you mean nothing.
[Off-topic] mtdew:
Most of my posts are fact based. Fact is most of the time I chime in rules have been broken. I'm not judging said person only pointing out the flaw in their choices.

Also I didn't post any of this with my emotions strictly with observations. My posts are demeaning only to those who choose to ignore the rules that are in place.

Also from what I have seen the majority of the community can't be trusted with threads of that nature hence why moderators all over have been cracking down on them.

[Off-topic] occupational_hazard:
Solar panels can be easily damaged and are not that very reliable IMO for a phone charger. It should be a more advanced technology. But I doubt you will those advancements in your solar charger. I would however recommend a ZaggSparq.

On the other hand, when you have neither, the Sparq or solar charger. I recommend this. Its a rather peculiar battery app. Use at your own risk.
