I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't had 100% success on the other devices, but none of the other devices was the exact same, so I should have waited. Now she'll never jailbreak again.
To be more precise, it was my GF's phone, and I had successfully traversed two other devices first.
Let's just say I am not popular at this very moment.
Worked fine on my iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS. iPhone 4 is now stuck in an Logo Loop of Death. I can access it through iRecovery, but I can't really salvage anything. Too bad I haven't backed it up for months, because there is soooo much data that I am going to lose if I have to Restore.
Wow, you just made me re-animate my/. account.
You have just described some of the major reasons I have gone in a great big circle around the Android phones, even if I find the *idea* of a Linux-based phone OS by Google very appealing. I have an iPhone that has all the same advantages of the Apple computers, only amplified: Complete hardware control and testability. They might be a little more expensive, and Apple might be dickheads, but they still deliver a better end product to the users.
Maybe in a year or two
Good thing you answered - I saw that the project home page hadn't been updated for 6 months, so I assumed that it had gone the way of the dodo, like so many other SF-projects. I'll try to dig up my Qtek and see where that takes us:)
I had completely forgotten about my near-useless Qtek 9100 (same as HTC Wizard, the slight difference being the casing, colours and market)
Is it any good, or is it just as treacle-slow as the Windows implementation? Argh, who am I kidding, I'm probably going to dig it up and have a go either way. F/OSS FTW!:-D
Actually, when I called the (Danish) Dell Tech Support, I was very well treated. I thought the SLA on our desktops prohibited me from breaking them open without speaking to them first, but they told me to rock rock on, and took my word for concrete problems. Then again, buying in bulk will do that to support.
Last time we had a base station destroyed (torched), we had a temporary base station up and running within two days. The local subcontractor worked almost around the clock to get it up, even though he in no way was demanded nor expected this. We got mails from customers praising the hard work done by the people involved. Of course, that mail made its round the same day it came in:)
You're missing the even bigger point: What's the reward? Seriously, I have a huge family in the Disko Bay, and many of them have boats. Finally the greenies have an option to get rich quick!
For me, relative directory changing is only for local boxes. When you routinely log on to equipment all over the country (my country being a bit smaller than yours), you want 'history' to be able to show you exactly where you did what.
Ahah! I thought I was the only one who had this extreme dislike, as the web is littered with phrases like "X is a cool command. To learn about it, just 'man X'".
Nothing personal, but I hope that your party loses the upcoming election.
Also, my even greater hope is that both major parties lose, but that doesn't really seem feasible.
Apart from that I make US$40'000/year, plus the loose change I rack up. If I really believed that the government knew how to make the quality of life better for anyone*, I wouldn't mind 50% tax - but the idea of giving away my money to clueless bureaucrats have far since gotten stale.

I really don't have anything more to add, but the spam filter insists that I type in *something*.
I can't abide by Symbian, Windows Phone, Android nor whatever the hell Samsung, Motorola and Ericsson excrete into their phones. Trust me, I've tried.

Jeez. Troll? Come ON. Offtopic, may be, but definitely not troll.

"I assure you sir, I am as American as you, and my name is Billy". Said with a very convincing tone - with an Indian inflection.

Not that I dislike the story - I just think it should be in Idle, not in Tech.
Not only true, but apt, precise and funny. n1 :)
Try nigh-impossible.
I smell fish.
Does the IRS investigate other tax-exempt nonprofits that get large contributions from corporate donors? WHY are they investigating Mozilla?
I guess I have to RTFM.
Even better - you could RTFA.

Right there is a free-market reason to pay a premium to be tested somewhere with newer test equipment and a stricter regimen of cleaning etc.

man is awful!
I live in Denmark. If I was so inclined, cheap pot would be easier to scrounge up on a saturday night than a gallon of milk.

I wonder whatever happened to that behemoth of a Sw@tch wristwatch I had.
Wow. That was so blindingly obvious, yet you're the first to actually bring that option up in the debate - kudos!
