  1. Every single phone on CyanogenMod: the History of an Android Hack · · Score: 0

    I've had CyanogenMod installed on every single phone I've owned, from the G1 back in the day, and the MyTouch Slide to the G2 I use now and the G2X I'll be using in the near future. It's really what pure Android should be from the start. Amazing how they can get updates and working builds to phones ages before the carriers get around to it. And all in the team's spare time. I will never buy an Android phone if it's not capable of running the latest CM builds.

  2. Don't you mean... on Bin Laden's Sneakernet Email System · · Score: 0

    SandalNet?

  3. Why not... on Ask Slashdot: Do I Give IT a Login On Our Dept. Server? · · Score: 0

    Just create a Google Calendar, share it among coworkers, sync with all your phones and be done with it? It's fucking calender for fuck's sake, why try to make it complicated? http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=37082

  4. As a webmaster on Facebook Plans To Show Ads On Websites · · Score: 0

    It makes perfect sense to put Facebook type ads on my website. Just like AdSense is contextual to the content, Facebook ads will be tailored to the user. Assuming they're logged into Facebook, like such as with FB comments. Showing ads relevant to their location, "likes", etc. If the money is competitive with other ad networks I could see this being very successful for Facebook. As a web user however, I would find it as annoying as the ads on Facebook itself.

  5. So..... on Sony's Case Against Geohot Has Been Settled · · Score: 0

    Sony spent how much money in legal fees just to prevent one kid from touching a Playstation again?

  6. Unlikely on MS Wants Laws To Block Products Made By Software Pirates · · Score: 0

    If something like this ever becomes law, I'm selling everything I own and going to law school to be a lawyer for Microsoft. Obviously that's where all the money will be. Not in technology and in innovation, but with lawsuits.

  7. I need my eyes checked on Ask Slashdot: What Gadgets Would You Use For Hunting Meteorites? · · Score: 0

    At first I thought the headline read "Hunting Minorities"

  8. A better defense on Court Rules It's Ok To Tag Pics On Facebook Without Permission · · Score: 0

    She should have just hired an expert witness to say the picture was photoshopped. But here's a better question, is she hot?

  9. No reason on Chrome May Drop the URL Bar · · Score: 0

    It's understandable on a mobile browser where screen real estate is a premium that the URL bar disappears unless you're actively typing an address. On the desktop (or laptop) browser, it's not really necessary. If you're that hard up for a few hundred more pixel of space, just use Full-Screen mode in Chrome.

  10. Without fail on Obama's Goal: 98% of US Covered By 4G · · Score: 1

    When the government gets involved in anything it ends up costing more and not working as well.

  11. I had no idea on Samsung Rains Paper Airplanes From Space · · Score: 2

    Samsung makes SD cards?

  12. Damn on 6 Pennsylvania Teens Face Child Porn Charges For Pics of Selves · · Score: 2, Funny

    Where were these girls when I was in school?
