    Yup.
    Every week I switch over my systems (master/slave arrangement) and take the old master down and fsck.
    Making sure all is well. Sometimes there is a small issue. It fixes it. All is well.
    So far I have never had catastrophe. Where I loose all data on the Master while my slave is down hard.
    Going to a tape back up even a day old is going to be bad news.

    Understood. The first thing off my Evo was NASCAR.

  4. So then you are saying that Samsung made so that there are people out there who are confused as to what they bought.

    I would wholeheartedly agree with you if that was all they did.
    But the do much more than that. They take out apps that work perfectly well but they do not like.
    They kill apps that do a better job than the stuff that comes with the phone.
    Also. Your sub standard AI may in my opinion just be different. I may actually like it more.
    Why should I not be able to use what I like more? Why do I have to use their dialer, their contact manager, or their file manager?
    I like different stuff.
    My wifes phone is an Evo 4G. Fairly stock. She sues Zeam launcher though because she like it. When I had my Evo I ran it rooted and unlocked, Cyanogenmod 7 running and using a different home launcher than the one that came with Cyanogen. Why? Because I liked it like that.
    Once the carriers get the fuck out of the way Android is going to be great. Close to perfect. Till then it takes a bit of daring and a little work to get it to where it was before they borked it.

  6. Ok then.
    For a moment I was worried about you.
    Don't scare me like that again. :)

    I have not seen an Android phone with that removed. Nexus, Evo 4G, Photon, G1, Evo Shift, Galaxy S all have it.
    If there are handsets like that I have yet to see them.
    Not being a dick but if you know of one I would love to here about it.

    It is not only theory.
    Get a Nexus. Buy it. Do not have some phone company pay for most of it for you and then sign a contract stating that you can now be fucked in the ass and blame it on Android.

    I will wait.

  9. Do you really think that icon placement, rounded corners, and an unboxing experience should in any way be patentable?

    That is not something that Android does.
    That is something that your shithole cell phone provider orders the handset maker to add.

    If you had an Android device you would know that you do not need to root your phone to install apps from someplace other than Google.
    You just go into settings and select that you want to be able to install programs from Unknown Sources.

  13. Show me someone who thought they were getting an iPhone and ended up with a Samsung because they were "confused".
    I'll wait.

  14. OMG!
    Both Apple and LG both got inspired by another product?!?!?!?!?
    Shut them both down now along with Samsung. Find the product that inspired them and make it the only company in the world that can make anything that looks anything like it for the next 200 years.

    Maybe you should not download every little thing that grabs your attention.
    The apps installed on my phone are almost all very good. Every once in a while I get something that has not been downloaded over 100,000 times.
    But then I usually do some research before just sticking it on my phone.
    I am thinking that you need your phone training wheels put back on.
    Try an iPhone. You might like the fact that most of the thinking is done for you already.

    Other than venting excess pressure. How would you design the tanks? Ability to handle an infinite amount of pressure? A massive system to detect the over pressure and eject the tacks from the aircraft? What should they have done in your opinion?

    It was not designed that way,
    It was designed to bleed off excess pressure. The plane tried to do just that. Only some fuckwad left it plugged.
    Let me come over to your house and install nails in your fuse fuse box and then tell you how badly designed your electrical system was that a simple short in an electronic device burned down your house.
    It seems to me that since you put no thought into this that "blaming the bigger guy" is your thing.
    Good luck with that.
