Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

Maybe. And I don't just mean the refurbished ones (with the same warranty as new) on the Apple store that I have been buying for years ;).

Whenever I see something like this I find it pretty damn funny. With all the horsepower that Toyota has, they can't even keep their customer facing websites running? Sure it will be back up as soon as someone comes into the office and sees the 8000 email messages about this they probably already have, and addresses it, but shit like this just should not happen in the first place. (And if other technical issues do arise, some that are less controllable than a db log full, the customer should certainly never be presented with the server dump error page.)

I use the provided Android "drawables" with my Android apps fairly often. (You can use the built in resources in addition to your own.) I find the "ic_menu" items the most useful. I reuse the same icons the built in apps use for common functions like "save", "edit", "delete", "dial", "browse", and so on. Also, from time to time, some other image the platform provides fits. I found myself guessing at particular images from names, and then jotting down notes - and then finally said to myself "man, I gotta write a script to just spit these out in a table for reference."

Hence, here is the full reference to the included drawables for the 1.0 SDK.

One of the main gripes I have had about Eclipse over the years has been the update process. It rarely works seamlessly, and even when it does it used to make me select a new mirror for every component - arghhhh!

The update manager is improved in Ganymede 3.4, no more selecting a mirror every time - but the overall process still seems to have some MAJOR issues. I always get to a point where nothing can be updated, I get many errors, even when trying to update a SINGLE basic component at a time (like "Eclipse Platform" for example):
