    Probably wouldn't last too long. I am sure some people would start to question why your dick was out in the first place.

    I do agree with you to a point. I didn't want to get detailed, but...
    I have rooted ever smart phone I ever owned since they came out some years ago. I have 5 and the last two Droid X and Droid 4 where I usually test 'odd' apps. Not everyone has that luxury. I was simply stating that if you don't trust the app then you may not want to try it out. Even legit looking apps and developers I have been wary of especially if it a security type app. Saved my self many a headaches by having an alternate phone to test with. If I didn't have alternate phones I would look elsewhere, ask someone else if they have a dead device(I work in a place where at least 3 a day are going in the trash) OR err on the side of safety :)

    Then don't go and install apps you are suspicious of. If you are techie you have that gut instinct of knowing something will go wrong.
    And if all else fails, there is always the Factory Restore/Reset option which does a pretty good job of cleaning out the device and freeing it of all errors.

    Indeed, I am in full agreement with Google on this one. There are shitty apps on there because they don't check them like Apple, but even Apple has a few shit ones on there too. I think this new policy is on top and at least will get most junk apps out.

    You can. It's called 'Unknown Sources.' put a check in the box and you can install apps from anywhere. Even ones you D/L from a website, put on your SD Card, open the File Manager or your favorite file management tool and install.

    Short answer: no.

    Longer answer: Has any Windows phone really been THAT successful?

    I am being sincere too. I have worked for a wireless company that I will leave nameless for over 5yrs and NO Windows phone was ever worth it. Not in the slightest.

  13. Re:Ah-HA on FCC Rules That Verizon Cannot Charge For 4G Tethering · · Score: 1

    no, ever hear of Network Optimization> That is how Verizon stops the 'abusers.' It's a form of throttling and is imposed on the high usage 3G users that still have the unlimited plans. 4G users never had the option for unlimited plans so they are not optimized. Go over your 2GB and you get charged 10$/GB. It's sick as I can easily do 2+/GB a day on my 4G, BUT the company pays for it so I don't care. Last month June 28th to July 28th, I tried to limit my usage to the extreme and I still hit 6GB. Verizon just needs to change the GB rating since 4G is so blazing fast that the average Joe doesn't realize how much they are D/Ling until it's too late.

  17. Re:No on Ask Slashdot: Are The Days of Homebrew Gaming Over? · · Score: 1

    I think this is why the old Unreal was so popular. 2.26F I think was the last update from ages ago.

    I first had this back in 1998 on a Pentium 133Mhz, 16MB RAM and a 4MB video card and it ran very smooth.
    I wonder what it would look like on my new 8-Core 3.1Ghz, 16GB RAM and 1GB HDMI video card. I still have the original disc I bought from CompUSA. It looks like a pirated version with its printed label and when put in the drive it gives a date code like a burned disc. I always thought this was odd.

  21. Re:Am I the only one that finds this creepy? on Pills With Digestible Microchips Approved By US Drug Agency · · Score: 2

    I usually get hydrocodones(10/325) to be exact for when my kidney decides to develop stones and then another bottle after the Lithotripsy procedure. A couple other times when I had some teeth pulled. I also currently take Adderall(10mg) for my ADHD. The ONLY thing that the pharmacist does, since they are controlled substances, is write down my name, address and the time they were picked up on some log sheet. I can only assume that the log they have is for some kind of tracking purpose. Any other ideas? I know they are not going to come to my door and and ask if I have been taking them properly. IF I OD and die they can trace it back to the pharmacy, then the DR, and ask if I was prescribed them or if I forged the script. After that I am on to a statistical database...
