On the contrary, I do understand. I had this issue occur when composing my sig. In case you don't see it, it reads:
A row of pound sterling symbols: ãããã Please fix Unicode.
[Edit after preview: There is only one preceding accented A in my sig; the second one appearing just compounds my point that it's all FUBAR.] Now, that's not entirely accurate. The sig goes through different processing to comments, which encoded the sterling signs as £ which obviously did not result in the preceding character Ã. I had to add those manually in my sig, whereas they appear as an artifact of broken encoding in comments.
If all else is wrong, maybe you can answer this question: Why does the sig code process a pound sterling character as £ but the comment space as... Well, not anything at all, really it's just broken. Why not parse them with the same encoding mechanism? They could at least be consistently broken.
Max the ram in your PC; It costs maybe £100 for the lot, you can move TEMP, TMP, IE, FF, and Chrome Caches to it (and your swap, if you're feeling "Yo Dawg...", but there's no need for swap if you're running 16GB memory). If you don't save the image when you shut down there are no temporary file writes to your disk.
Quite the contrary. In every alternate universe you ended up with a Hollywood starlet. it's just in this one that you suck really, really hard.
Seriously, though, I thought we already knew that you could perfectly describe the contents of a black hole because entropy can never decrease / information can never be destroyed. I thought this information was all accumulated at the event horizon./Lay man.
Shouldn't it be the 'P' as in P for poseur or P for pollute, hell it could even be a really tiny 'p' and we all know exactly what that represents, at least it would be accurate.
It's a 'W' button, for the hand gesture everyone will be making when this idiot uses it.
If I buy a Ford Fiesta with a 1.2l engine, and $RoadTestReview gets 45MPG over a week, three tank refills, and a good mixture of motorway and city driving, I don't expect my (supposedly) identical 1.2l Ford Fiesta to get 36MPG in the same period under the same conditions.
This isn't a stop taking people's saliva, blood etc for traffic enforcement. This is not a Police operation; The Police are there because contractors can't stop or direct traffic. This is data gathering by a third party, and is 100% voluntary because the people doing the survey aren't the Police, and can't compel you to provide a sample. It is not evidence in relation to a crime, and more than likely wouldn't meet the guidelines for chain of custody as it's anonymous. This is for statistical use only.
Half of the replies on this articleare to the "Booze bus" comment; It's not the same thing! The Booze Bus is an enforcement vehicle, a mobile police van with a breathaliser, for use by police in roadblocks, but THIS ISN'T A POLICE OPERATION.
This is the worst case of reading comprehension failure I've seen on this site. Are you all so blinded by your hatred and malice towards LEOs that anything they are involved in is nefarious?! Jesus christ, I expected better from you.
Because the only way to find an app on the iShit interface is by name, a name your friend told you, then you can't find it because the search doesn't actually give any relevancy points for exactly matching what you typed.
Netflix is over HTTPS and the stream from the CDN is DRM'd up the wazoo. The ISP is handled by a $5pcm VPN connection, which incidentally might get you an endpoint in another country getting you access to their Netflix library *wink wink*. Between your box and the Netflix CDN it's all secured.
What Netflix do with the data is between you, them, and the lawyers.
I thought I was always supposed to praise Canada over the US... yet they lead us in "sole country" proposals, supposedly an awful, cowboyish thing... ugh, my Slashdot head must asplode!

That's a good point, but not really a rebuttal to my response. Having the bootloader backup the current ROM doesn't affect whether the new ROM will be able to make use of the phone hardware; This thread was specifically regarding whether there could be ROM backup baked into the ROM installer, for instance in case Cyanogenmod couldn't make use of the full features of the camera. In this case, having a ROM backup to revert back to stock would be ideal, as otherwise the user would be left with, as you've pointed out, a less-than-functional device.
ROT13 is in and of itself both the cypher and key; "ROT" is a substitution cypher based upon the latin alphabet, and "13" is the 'key' - The number of places forward of the plaintext letter the cyphertext letter is to be drawn.
This is the Roman Empire equivalent of publishing your private SSH key. Good job.
A properly parked mechanical drive is quite robust. Obviously it still has moving parts so you wouldn't chuck it onto a hardwood flood like you could an SSD, but as long as it's not powered on and in use they're very resistant to physical damage.
hey're the one to get if you want the latest released version quickiest after it has been released in conjunction with the corresponding nexus phone.
after that the updates can take time and after certain time stop completely.
The difference is that the manufacturer abandons the phone as soon as it's released; They take your money, they forget about you. CM update, from my experience with the Desire HD, for approx 18 months from release (Oct 2010 - May 2012) for consumer phones, including to Android versions which aren't fully supported by the device (4.0 on the Desire HD, 2.2 only when purchased). Dev phones, by their nature, are updated for longer and worked on more frequently.
There's no technical reason why not; Backing up your currently installed ROM, warts an' all, is offered at the bootloader. I don't know if it's offerd by the stock Nexus 4 bootloader as I only booted stock to make sure it wasn't DoA, but it's again technically possible.
Booting to recovery is offered in the power menu on CM, so functionality to call boot options from the live OS is also possible. Baking in current ROM backup should be trivial.

I'd like a hardware switch which disconnects both the webcam and the microphone.
As it is, I make to with electrical tape and playing grindcore through my phone.

Hi there. Here are some pound sterling symbols, just typed from my keyboard. No other characters.
£££££
Now tell me Slashdot Unicode support isn't broken. I'll try not to laugh in your face.
Move your caches to a ramdrive.

Good for SSD longevity, too.

Facebook isn't on the list at least, that would be just too ironic.

Well, that's embarassing.
Start a traditional revolution (for NSA: just listing this option here for completeness, and not advocating it in any way, please!).
Coward.
Get a car widget for the homescreen. By default the icons are larger. You can use any launcher you want :)

Not at all. The former still exist; They just hide it better. It's intentional.
Switch off the engine, dump the clutch, coast out of range, bump start.
Am I on a watch list now?
Read the fucking stub.

Just plain wrong. You are either a liar or inept.
Not mutually exclusive.
OR != XOR
A friend of mine has access to the much larger film library on US Netflix from the UK. I understand that US Netflix misses on a lot of UK shows.

I solved this problem years ago with a catch-all blacklist on my mobile phone; If your number is hidden, my phone doesn't even ring.
I don't give out my home phone number as I'm rarely there to answer it, hence all incoming calls are cold-calls.
I wondered when today's Bitcoin mention would crop up.

Turns out you were all just waiting for me
