I think you're missing the point that there's probably quite a few people on the Internet today who read that description and -- at least to them -- there wasn't anything grammatically wrong with it.
If you're fond of hacking, though, stay away from the Droid X -- the signed bootloader on it will make loading any other ROM than what Motorola provides nearly impossible (the GSM milestone has been out for more than half a year and it's _still_ not cracked yet).
However, if you're not fond of hacking your phone, the Droid X will probably make you happy as hell.
As former Senator from Alaska Ted Stevens showed us, the only real threat to the intertubes is gambling -- all except horse racing/betting. As long as the terrorists choose something other than horseback for their preferred method of travel, clogging the intertubes entirely would be painfully easy.
Even if you look at it from their perspective, that Mark Zuckerberg is somehow guilty because he's "enabling" these "offensive" actions on his website, doesn't that make their entire religion guilty because they're enabling the grisly murders of people like Daniel Pearl, or hell, all of 9/11?
It's not that they're stupid -- it's just that they don't "see" the objects on a computer screen as buttons, text fields, etc. They're just locations that they're supposed to click on, and they learn this by rote memorization.
I encounter this in software dev all the time -- doing something as simple as moving buttons from a left-aligned position to a right-aligned one in a toolbar can wreck havoc, and require retraining. I _wish_ I was exaggerating.
You mean we adjusted our regulation accordingly. Though, depending upon what political camp you're in, that's either a good thing or a bad thing, sadly.

Not familiar with Tivos, but if I'm getting it, you can blame Tivo for that problem, as they make both the hardware _and_ the software.
Somehow blaming Google for this (or making a snark about an "open OS") isn't appropriate at all.
You're still using a 4-year-old phone? You're not doing HTC any good. :P
Open Software != Open Hardware. Just throwin' that out there.

Not always true! The original Moto Droid is one of the most hackable Android phones out there, second only to the original HTC G1 and the Nexus One.
There is a HUGE community of Droid hacking.
True now, but in 10 years, your phone will be the only piece of personal computing equipment you own. ;)

Dude -- I just thought it sounded kind of silly
Please don't ever do that again.

Sounds like your nuclear power plants in the navy had a heavy dose of Socialism.
In the Free Market(TM) world of oil drilling, there's no so much oversight, even when looking for a worst-case scenario.
Oh, "leapfrog" -- is that what they're calling it these days?
Ah, but that's the thing -- you always see Muslim scholars and whatnot at least publicly decry things like 9/11 and the killing of Daniel Pearl.
By their own logic, they're just as guilty as Mark Zuckerberg.
Sadly enough, I am not Korean -- the Creator has not blessed me so. It would not apply to me.
Honestly, I'd hate to say it, but Alabama is probably more accurate.
No -- church is for saved sinners. Obviously, this hypothetical pregnant wasn't really saved.
See, it's easy.
Pakistan is the world's Arkansas -- what the hell does that make Afghanistan? West Virginia?

"Koran-thumping hicks" is my new phrase of the month. Thank you.
Just to let you know, studies have shown the potential CP found with the "Safari" app that comes pre-installed on every iPhone is tremendous.
Someone think of the children!

Meanwhile, AMD competes where it can on the processor front (but ruled the previous 6 months on the performance graphic front).
Ahem -- still rules. http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-5000/hd-5970/pages/ati-radeon-hd-5970-overview.aspx
(And don't say it cheats because it has two processors, as Nvidia has been doing the same thing for their last two model lines, as well.
Yeah, they made the same prediction 100 years ago, too. What's funny is that though the jobs may change, we work about the same.
