HTC EVO 4G LTE for Sprint review -- Engadget

sri745 · 12 days

To expand upon futant's point, Sprint has as much as said that they will push out a few test markets for their 1900mhz LTE 4G towers, but future rollouts are dependent on the completion of the test markets and the availability of funds to continue. Should the company continue to experience hard times, they might have to stop spending money on network upgrades just to continue existing at all :(

Say what you will, but extra loose fit Jeans are the only ones I can weary comfortably. I have a relatively thin waist compared to my monstrous thighs, so wearing normal fit Jeans large enough to accommodate my upper legs leaves the waist dangling off my ass. Only pants with extremely broad, non tapered legs really fit me well.

Since Hot Topic normally sees fit to adorn theirs with chains, buckles, whips, and Naruto art, I have to settle for Old Navy extra loose fit...but I'd kill for a relatively plain set of JNCOs

If you are looking for witch hazel on the cheap, head over to Walmart or most chain pharmacies. TN Dickson's is common and about three bucks, and sometimes you'll find a generic copy for half that.

This storebought stuff does have 14% alcohol as a preservative instead of aloe or scents, so if you suffer from dry skin issues, it might not be as good for you as the $8 Thayer's, but if you've got normal skin, or oily like me, it works really well!

I've been partial to the Super Mario World livewallpaper almost since I got my Droid1. It's really entertaining, but a smidge of a battery hog. Still, it's impressive: you can set the game to actually play the levels it randomly generates with AI, so Mario can actually die on the hardest difficulties.

Probably doesn't happen much on newer phones; I think the AI just pulls a few spare processor cycles; the only way I could consistently make Mario die on the D1 was by quickly swiping back and forth between home screens to lag it and suck up all the CPU ;)

Interestingly, I thought that (DNS) was the worst fucking team on earth, centered here in Raleigh, NC.

I was at MLG Raleigh 2011 and kept seeing results like [(DNS) RandomDude 0 - 2 OtherGuy] all over the rankings boards. . . in fact, not a single DNS player made it out of the first round of the winners or losers bracket! Wow, huh, that team must be really fucking awful, but it's pretty cool that so many of them came out to compete, so props to them. . .

About three months later I realized that DNS = Did Not Show -.-

Actually, she kept a Raven with her first major push and eliminated a huge corridor of creep down the center of the map. . . except that Scarlett proceeded to decimate that army and immediately recovered that area with creep.

Moreover, in the end-game when the creepspread was sliding up under Aphrodite's bases, she was down to 2 orbitals on 3 (then 2) bases, thus, she had to keep throwing down MULEs to have any hope of keeping up in production. By the time it was apparent how much of an issue it was, basically, Aphrodite had already lost the game :(

jeanray · 25 days

Yeah, she just rolled over Aphrodite pretty convincingly. 2-0'ed, as a matter of fact, with the final game being decided by a perfectly timed roll-in of ~70 banelings, 10 mutas, and 30 lings against a 150-food Terran mech army that had just unsieged to secure a third.

Seeing banes taking down mass Thor recalled a certain series featuring Nestea, as a matter of fact :)

Filco here, too. Might just be the human need to justify significant resource investments by seeking validation from others, but I've got to say that my Filco(s!) are the best keyboards I've ever owned. One in majestic blue with MX Blues, another one with only 2KRO in white with MX Browns for work :)

The Ninjas are super sexy. . . hmmmm. . . nope, don't have that kinda income :D

I got in on your first giveaway. . . the lathering wasn't the best, but the scent and "feel" of the soap were phenomenal. Given your additional work on modifying the formula, I have to admit I'm pretty excited about this!

Could you describe the scent of the black tie fragrance? That sounds pretty intriguing :)

Even journalists aren't supposed to rat out their own bosses. Ideal world they'd be commended...real world, almost every media company is owned by the same five or six dudes, and they all play golf on the weekends...

There is room for capacitive buttons on the Bezel. If anything, the software buttons are reducing the usable screen space during normal operation. The "true" screen is only 4.5" in many applications, which would not have been the case with dedicated buttons. I'll accept they are a matter of taste, but my opinion does have a logical basis.

I've monkeyed around with a gnex in store and don't deny it looks great. My point of contention is that we will never know how much better it could have been without a pentile display.

Throw in burn in (or burn out) issues and even some radio complaints I've read and the gnex's appeal drops a lot...for me, personally. I love that it's stock Android and hackable out of the box, but that wasn't enough to sell me.

Still rocking my Droid 1; been eligible for an upgrade sense October. Wasn't impressed by the Galaxy Nexus's discarding of the search button and dedicated buttons in general, lack of an sd slot, painfully old gpu, or pentile display...so hoping that the next Galaxy corrects all that :D

oPHILcial · 1 month

I really hope it is, seeing as how I am in that boat and really hoping for that $50 off to offset the $30 upcharge it'll take to upgrade to a Galaxy S3 when/if it's released in the US.

The wait's been killing. . . been upgrade-eligible since October and my contract was fully through in February. . . takes a lot to not crack and just buy a Galaxy Nexus :)

I believe that people who bought phones a sufficient amount of time before the program was suspended (and were thus sold their package with the promise of new every two) can still cash it in one last time.

Sorry, have two accounts and didnt log into this one to notice your reply.

One theorized method for it is that, after making the piercing, a thin rope was run through the wound and out the other side of the penis, over a mug intended to catch the rapidly dripping sacrificial blood. This was supposedly an annual occurrence meant to absolutely ensure the crops for the year.

FritzMuffknuckle · 1 month

Blood sacrifice was a major component of their traditional religion in the classical era. Don't look up what the king had to do to make the crops grow if you're squeamish.

FritzMuffknuckle · 1 month

To give a quasi serious, but unsourced reply (sorry on my very slow phone), it's not a day in, day out issue, but the few hardcore, isolated Mayan traditionalists do practice a religion that views blood as the currency required for life, and especially agriculture, to continue. Given that strong Mayan lineage tends to correlate with extreme, grinding poverty (and given that poverty doesn't exactly allow for civilized, educated lifestyles in the third world), they are also pretty marginalized by society. Ever hear those nasty stories about Guatemalan villagers killing someone who took their picture for stealing their souls? Yeah...the traditional Mayans don't get a lot of love from their countrymen.

Last I heard, many use animal sacrifice, especially chickens, as a stand in for humans. Guess it's better than the alternative, but still fairly barbaric and sad. I'd give a lot to see rationality have a stronger hold down there.

Source: mom's Guatemalan; grandma was sort of racist against the native Americans there, and liked to tell nasty gossip about them, leading me to take a class partially focused on their religion and history in college, of which I remember little, especially stuff from the modern era.

Hey man, Caliber's a member of little old team LighT; easy victory! Now, Baldwin? Jesus man, that guy is his OWN team!

He actually sounds sort of scary when he tries to shout right now. If this goes to a game 9, the player intros alone might kill Tasteless.

Yeah, thought the number he was giving for that was super weird. Hopefully they'll put up a post soon.

Yeah, but he sounds weirdly like Incontrol, with less trolling! That's pretty lovable.

TT1 bought one from a guy on GeekHack.org recently and was really enjoying it, last I read.

I've got two Filco Majestouch keyboards and one SteelSeries 6Gv2.

For pure build-quality reliability amongst Cherry MX-based boards, nothing really beats Filcos. Yes, it's possible to get a dud, but their QA is much better and the lemon rates are much lower than with cheaper brands. Great weight, simple, clean designs, good quality case materials. About the only major disadvantages are the cost and the fact that the keys are nothing special (regular ABS plastic with pad-printed letters).

The SteelSeries actually developed an electrical flaw after a few months of heavy use, so I had to swap it out, but SS was happy to do so for free, so the new one is just perfect. Similarly good weight, and the textured plastic on the keys actually feels a bit nicer than the Filco ones. However, it doesn't have adjustable height, has slightly higher manufacturing defect rates reported online, and only comes in MX Blacks for the keyswitches, which I don't care for as much as the MX Blues and MX Browns in my other keyboards.

Filcos do come in white, if you care for that ;)

Leopolds are a pretty damn good Filco knock-off, and if you can get 'em from a good in-country distributor (e.g., elitekeyboards.com), then you can always do warranty returns to account for any weirdness with them. They're designed by the same guy as the Filco Majestouch, come in similar colors and designs, and are still well-built. Plus they tend to run significantly cheaper.

Finally, the best deal of 'em all, IMO, is the Rosewill RK-9000 series available on Newegg and Amazon. They come in all for major keyswitch varieties and are an almost exact mechanical clone of the Majestouch version 1 from a couple of years ago. Great quality, easy returns in case of a bad board, and beautiful design marred by the ugly Rosewill logo. When they go down to $70 on sale, there's not a better deal in quality, durability, and price in mechanical keyboards anywhere :D

Now, I won't suggest which keyswitch to buy, because that is deeply personal and anyone who pretends to "know" which one is best for one kind of videogame or usage is flat-out lying to you. Some pros like MX Blacks, some Browns, some Blues; some pros love $300 Topre switches, and plenty of pros enjoy plain old rubber domes. No keyboard makes you a better gamer, period. None of 'em. Get what feels good to you!!
