Once I started using Titanium Backup I turned off the Google Backup. At least I have an option to encrypt my Titanium Backup's. It can backup/restore Wifi Passwords along with everything else.
Plus it's not really a 50/50 chance another Sandy will occur. Several different factors have to all line up. Each one of those could have a 50/50 chance of occurring. So comparing a coin flip to another Sandy hitting isn't really a good comparison. Take a 20 sided die and roll it 50 million times and see what the chances of rolling a 5 1000 times in a row.
Sure it did. He got famous from it. I personally believe that's the only reason he came out was to get famous and become some modern day savior. That means more to him then being able to see his family.
I like that on my tablet I can bring up a command line prompt and have access to the entire system (rooted) and use it as if it's a Linux computer. On my phone I like that I can load up an sshd server and remote into my phone.
To me it's the ability to use my device how I wish. With an iDevice or Windows device I feel too limited. I don't like that.
Installing ROMS is pretty easy. It's the initial rooting and installing the compatible recovery that could go wrong and brick the device. Some phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Skyrock is ungodly easy while others can cause sweat beads running down your face while doing it. I was scared shitless while rooting my HTC Thunderbolt. It was the first phone I ever rooted. When I bought my Note 2, I had it rooted within 15 minutes of getting home from Best Buy. It was rather easy thanks to Samsung's built in 'Downloader'.
In a phone utopia world, once a manufacture stop updating a device they should put out a patch that installs a recovery for you so you can then do whatever you want with your phone. The networks however (mainly Verizon) won't allow this.
However if your kids are caught playing this today they will quickly be whisked off to some rehabilitation center. If fake guns are involved, well I won't even go there.
Exactly. This is the main reason Google is wanting to release more information. The FUD spread by people like AC are hurting Google's (and other companies) business. They want to release more information to show the public what's being done. The less the public knows the more rumors get started.
Spoofed or calls made through some open or hacked PBX such as Asterisk. I run a few Asterisk servers and use to get non-stop hammered with brute force attacks.
Honestly I could care less.. As long as I can lookup and see 1. When domain was register & expires, 2. What company the domain is with (Godaddy, NetSol,...), and 3. What name servers the domain is pointing to. The admin email address is a bonus so I can tell my client what email address transfer request are going to.
Weird, I get 410 + 14 with my FF 22. It's biggest failing points are the various FORM INPUT TYPE= test. I can live with that.
Still I like Chrome more. Seems faster on my laptop. I also like the sync options to keep me laptop and desktop settings in sync. The FF sync system would keep failing on and off for months and they seemed to never get it fixed for good.
I have 12 gigs of RAM and still get about 500 megs of swap used after a long day of normal usage. Sure it's reserving 12 gigs of space for swap but never uses more than 500 megs. Long idle processes will still get pushed off to swap. It's so little usage that you won't ever notice assuming you have your overall system setup correctly.
That said, disabling swap if you run an SSD (or move the swap to a non-SSD drive) is wise because like I said, it will still get used no matter how much RAM you have. The laptop I'm using right now has 4 gigs of RAM. 2.12gigs is used yet 3.8% of 4,054 MB swap is in use. I just booted my system up about an hour ago so it's still low usage for now.
I went into the B&N here a few months back. Walked right back to where the computer section has been for years only to find it gone. I looked all over and ended up having to ask some employee. Once found, they didn't even have any HTML5 programming books. The whole computer section was 1/3 the size it use to be. I left thinking, "This place sucks now."
Which from my experience was very slow to apply those changes. Two of the major highways in my city raised the speed limit from 55 to 65 on one and 70 on the other. I submitted these changes and it took 1 1/2 years till they appeared in Waze. I was pretty shocked it took that long assuming they even looked at my submission.

Oh hellz yeah. Glad I'm not the only one this annoys.
I find the problem is, they keep increasing the speeds (and sometimes the cost) but what I want is half the speed I currently have at half my current monthly bill. The cable company would still be getting the same $4.66/1mbit that I'm paying now. They don't offer such packages for some unknown stupid reason.
This is exactly what I do now. I use to go to opening night, midnight showings or all that jazz. Not anymore. I'll go on the 3rd weekend, Sunday at or before noon. Must be my old age showing but I don't care.
It would still be faster and more efficient to send out a single broadcast message from each tower in the affected area. Would you rather send a message to 10.255.255.255 or to each IP individually?
I'm also guessing that the phone doesn't have to have active service to receive and alert you. Just like you can call 911 from any phone even those without service. As long as the phone is on, you get the alert.
Also some people still get charged for receiving SMS believe it or not. Just think if the idiots that would try to reply back to the alert SMS as well. Sure they can be dumped to null but they still have to travel through the network to get there.
1. Google Maps on my tablet. Sure I can cache it all but I don't need to. 2. Streaming music via my tablet. Pandora or lately the Google All Access (which I really like).

I stopped listening to Radiohead 20 years ago when I got out of high school.

Snowden leaks had zero utility

For me it's usability.

I in fact watch zero Fox News and zero CNN. They are both evil just on opposite ends of the scale.

Keep digging that hole you're in even deeper.
Time to head to a popular open wifi spot in town and start up my hotspot on my rooted phone. Could be interesting, could be ungodly boring.
I use my hot spot for 2 things.
1. Google Maps on my tablet. Sure I can cache it all but I don't need to.
2. Streaming music via my tablet. Pandora or lately the Google All Access (which I really like).
