I have had Android devices from Cupcake onward and have always rooted them. That being said, I don't presume that rooting will work and I always presume that I may end up with a bricked device. A reminder that as soon as you start rooting, you have voided your warranty. I have also bricked devices. I learned how to make a jtag that way.
Actually the page was not available 30 minutes ago..not that I am implying the someone else would want that page taken down... Ok yes I am implying it strongly!
I would like to propose that the idea of having the 'RIGHT' to own something or to do something is also mitigated by the responsibility one is willing to take, not only to protect that right, but also in general. I do know that the idea of the U.S. Constitution is based on the idea that human beings have inalienable rights and that these rights need protection.
Let's continue: The right to own a creative work is then mitigated by the ability by the right of someone else to enjoy that creativity; if I am creative in isolation it is called masturbation. So if I want an audience I need to allow them to enjoy my work. What are the responsibilities of the audience versus the composer versus the pimp errrrr agent...
Thats the question. Not rights...responsibilities.
My real name happens to be Joel West. Now do a google search on "Joel West". If he (the CK model) ever wants the domain I'm toast aparently. Even though I've been using the domain legitimately, and yes my site is lame.
The point is that I only ever heard of this fellow by doing a google search. So who wins? I can't afford a lawyer especially in USD. I have no choice but to surrender. Ah well...
I am an ex arts and sciences major with a double major in The study of Religion and Semiotics. My alma mater, the University of Toronto, has a specific system on which they mark grades. In the arts faculties, C means "has read the material" B means "has read and understood the material" and A means had read, understood and is capable of doing original work in this area. The grades associated with those letters are: 50 - 60% is a D (graded failure), 60 - 70% is a C (pass), 70 - 80% is a B and 80 - 99% is an A. Does this mean I got an education?
The answer in my case, I would like to believe, is yes, but only because I persued topics that I considered basic to North American culture. I actually read Homer on purpose and Dante and Shakespeare. But it is possible to take so called 'bird courses' from professors who are known to pass students based on their pulse. I avoided those courses and still ended with a 4.0. Most students do not and most University, in my opinion, is glorified day care.
Is this the fault of the students? Is it the fault of the professors? Is it the fault of administration and parents? It is simple to blame the parents and students, since they are the consumer, but quite frankly if you offer people something with substance, they will take it! If you offer them pablum, pablum or pablum then don't blame them for chosing pablum.
It is the administration of the colleges and universities, who think they are running a business (note their salaries and bonuses) rather than a school of higher education. These problems do NOT happen in the profesional faculties because they have better funding (from endowments and kickbacks). It is in the administrator's interest to keep the GPAs high and standards low in the general science and arts faculties. It is not in the student's

I find this reminiscent of when I was a kid playing D and D for hours and hours and hours in high school. Seems like ages ago -- okay it WAS ages ago. But for me at least, that was the time that I found that there were geeks like me in the world. Good memories!
As a former 1st tier tech support person I can empathize, however most companies delineate what is 'officially' supported and what is not. Most questions in forums are about things that techs are not 'allowed' to support officially during business hours. I can't say that I agree with the policy, but what Bell South is doing is protecting itself by demarking that which is 'oficial Bell South tech support' from what is users helping each other.
No, it's not right or fair. Unfortunately, in these days when people cannot recognize that hot coffee can burn and so sue the restaurant, Bell South is protecting itself from that sort of legislation.

Your milage may vary.
i can agree. Dell has heinously POOR customer service. I will never deal with Dell ever again if at all possible.

The Texas state legislature failed to repeal the laws of conservation of momentum and of gravity.
They were 'just following orders' and 'complying with authoroties'.
Sounds like Nuremberg.
Isn't it green ham and eggs?
Isn't this like yak for free previously covered by slashdot? Seems Yak had it first.
It is free because it's free. There are aparently upgardes available to allow calling to PTSN (land line phones). It is however very cool.
Subject says it all.
Have we forgotten talk? Ytalk? Xtalk?

My personal fave is the instructions on how to use a bathroom in Japan.
Not to be recursive but isnt that what these forums are?
What do you see the greates challenges are to Freedom of Speech given the Patriot act and Patriot II?
Actually ostensibly that's what it is...
More will be revealed...

Very melodramatic article written like a cheap potboiler. Unfortunately it was very short on details and new information...

"It's simply unrealistic to depend on secrecy for security in computer software" -- what a succinct way to demolish the DMCA.

But, no, it isn't right.
He's going to sue whom? He has to find them first. And then prove that they did it. And prove that he is suffereing damages.
