Cyanogenmod is not an official Android release. You can't get it from the google store, it has to be installed on a device that you've rooted. If you jailbreak your iPod, expect similar results if you download unofficial unsigned apps.
And it's up to you to determine who has the right to speak or act? Fuck you. Freedom of speech means accepting that someone, somewhere will say something you don't like. Deal with it and move on.
It's hardly surprising that the device is so difficult to assemble. It was designed that way to prevent "amateur" repairs thereby forcing consumers to replace a broken unit rather than repair it. Even the battery is not user replaceable.
How is this handling it right? The right way to handle it would be to forward infected hosts to a website with information on the trojan and a link for software to remove it. Telling users to "reinstall windows" is ridiculous.
The bible says that god is all knowing. If he's all knowing then there would be no need for him to test our faith since he'd already know what we are thinking. It seems to me it would be in his best interest to not plant fake evidence and therefore acquire more believers. Why would he give us the knowledge, desire, and the resources to discover our origins scientifically, only to then send us to hell when we stop believing in him? It'd be like recording yourself taking a child's tooth from under his pillow and putting money there, then showing him the video the next day and getting angry when he stops believing in the tooth fairy. I can't think of a single reason that a loving god would set us up for failure like that.
You know, I've heard that argument before. The premise being that god placed all this evidence here to test our faith. And you know what? It's a load of crap. Any god that would create beings such as us, put us on some random planet in just some random corner of an immense universe, give us all these urges that we are supposed to suppress, and plant evidence to "test" us is not a god I want anything to do with. Why would he build this entire universe just for us when we probably have no hope of ever reaching even the nearest star? It makes no sense! Why would he need to constantly test our faith? Didn't he create us? Doesn't he already know what we are thinking? If people that believe this crap are going to heaven, then I don't want to be there with them. See you in hell guys.
I'm sorry, but I can't agree with you here. People still deserve to be treated as people regardless of their occupation. I usually just say "not interested" and immediately hang up as soon as I realize it's a telemarketer. Our economy sucks so fucking bad that otherwise good people will do almost anything to get a job that even barely pays the bills. They probably hate calling you just as much as you hate being called, but we live in a world where people with masters degrees are begging for jobs at McDonald's.
Fraudsters will just have someone else return it then. This will just screw over the legitimate customer while doing nothing to curb fraud. I don't shop at Best Buy anyway so I really don't care, but a company that is serious about customer service would never pull this shit. This just goes to show that Best Buy is not committed to customer satisfaction.
Well, to be fair if one has physical access to the router, then it is pretty trivial to reset it back to factory defaults regardless of the volunteer IT support's ability to secure it.
I've seen people on foodstamps with iphones for their entire family. In my book, an 8 year old does not need a smart phone, especially if their family is too poor to afford food.
Exactly. The people who you yell at and bitch to are the people who are the most visible, but in no way responsible for what you are bitching about. They have absolutely no power to change any company policy, AT ALL. The ones who actually come up with the bullshit policies are the ones who aren't even available after a phone call to the company's automated system and 100 menu options later. Even speaking to a manager will only get you regurgitated corporate policy bullshit, maybe a comment/complaint card, and if you're lucky, a coupon for some free shit. The thing is, most consumers love free shit, and that is enough to get them to forget their principles even if it's only temporary, and continue shopping. It's pathetic.
But what if, when searching for something on google, it links to an article with a lmgtfy link. I can't count the number of times I searched for something on google only to be linked to a forum where the respondents all tell the poster to "just google it".
Isn't it cheating if the manufacture of a CPU (you know, the people who stamp the magic clock speed figure on the chip) overclock their own CPU? I mean, they could easily under-rate the chip and then "overclock" the hell out of it.
The real pirates here are the content producers and lobbyists who seem to think that copyright should be valid 20+ years after the game was created. I do not feel the least bit guilty for pirating a ROM for a game system that doesn't even exist anymore.
The majority of people seem to think that laws such as this will only be used to protect them from those evil terrorists. They would be wrong. The real terrorists, as in the ones we should really be scared of, are the ones who know better than to communicate over a link that can be traced to them. They will simply go to the nearest coffee shop or use an unsecured access point somewhere to do their bidding. The people this law is supposed to protect us against won't even be affected at all.
True, except for the fact that these computers are designed to be servers! Maybe your parents have never heard of AMD/Linux, but I bet any decent sysadmin has. As hard as it may be to believe, your parents/friends are not Dell's only customers.

And, I can see it now, every spoiled 8 year old would have their own car. It will be like today with smart phones.
This isn't reddit folks.
Unless you're using USB 3.0, which I use for backups. It's just as fast as if the HD were internal.

And if you nuke it from orbit, you get the added bonus of the resulting EMP wiping all nearby HD's as well.
Lol. "How to ask my mom for a bra without being..."

...that he was reenacting a scene from WoW? Did they ask him post mortum?
If you drive like me then 90 MPH is highway speed.

Or maybe they left VSync on!
