I'm half tempted... well, a quarter tempted anyhow, to just get a dumb phone and get a smaller tablet for apps, one that either doesn't have 3/4G, or at least has easily configured Wi-Fi so it won't just kick its self on because of proximity or some such. I like having all my apps on my Android, but I don't want the damn thing to be part of a bot farm at some point. I know I said I'm running Lookout, but no telling if that's going to be all I NEED to run. If I have to lock down my phone to the level of my "smart"phone... I just MAY opt for carrying two pieces of hardware with me instead of one...
I've been running it for almost 2 weeks, and on my Optimus T, it's just fine. No noticible issues, other than the few seconds it takes to scan literally EVERY download I do.
Exactly right... I couldn't count the number of times I've seen a program, say a calculator that "needed" to know my "phone state and identity"... bullshit.
Games and such, I'll allow internet access if I know it's got ads. Yes, I know, it cuts into badnwidth, but depending on the game, I'll suffer. You HAVE to check ALL permissions, not just hit "install", and "ok" as soon as they pop up. This is just like security on any other computer. Do you just automatically install everything you see online? Installing shit from unknown sources onto your Android phone is the same damn thing.
Wow... and it's video chat? I assume you're smart enough to base your "hot" description on SEEING the (hopefully) female tech. If not, YOU must have been one of the morons that kept the 1-900 numbers alive for so long...
...tell me about it... that's what happend to Nevada. Goddamn Californicators ruined the state. On a positive note, and more on topic, Amazon already has a presence here, and I'm sure it wouldn't be a big deal to just increase it... WE could use the jobs too.
Right... they can't just open the goddamn door that is in the side of the cockpit... or wait, they CAN. OR, they can just hit the ejection seats (yes they have them... don't recall if that was released or not, but I've seen the T.O. on the Shuttle, and it clearly shows them).
By the way, were you shooting for "pray tell" with your "pary tell"? If you were... you missed.
Actually, cartoons ARE made for kids, i.e. those under 18 (hell, under 12, let's be real here), however, Anime CAN be oriented towards a more mature audiance. No, I dont' mean porn, just more mature. Porn cartoons are Mangas.:)
As a former USAF Fire Protection Specialist, I can assure you, there are several redundant systems on the Shuttle for egress. That being said, you have have a thousand systems to let you get out of the aircraft, but if shit happens before you can implement any of them, well, life sucks.
You know how this happens? When you have megacorps buying "carbon credit". They pay extra for polluting that they should be paying fines for. So, just because they pay the carbon credit money, that money doesn't equal out to fixing what they're over dumping into the atmosphere.
Sorry if my phrasing isn't to specs, but what I'm getting at is, those with the money to buy the carbon credits, in order to over dump/produce, are the ones that seem to me to be responsible for this shit...
I'm sure of that... at least I would HOPE they would use something a little more modern in tactics than something a 16 year old script kitty probably did on a bored evening in Mommy's basement...
I'm on my second Android based phone, and yes, I COULD root it, but as this poster said, I don't NEED to. With the software available on the Android market alone, I can make it do whatever I get an itch to MAKE it do. When/if I start having problems with it I can't fix by whatever means, I MIGHT look into rooting it.

Wow... what flavor of crack are YOU smoking today?
Worse... at least Windows has a few decades of making a stab at security... and it looks like Apple is still in kindergarden regarding security...
Morons are morons... regardless of position...

What color is the sky on YOUR planet?
Ignorance is bliss...

Yep, and Windows has a couple of decades in experience in that field, unlike Apple. Eat shit Steve Jobs...

How about just calling them shit, like a lot of people do...

And who would have thought it was the Poles that did it...

You sir/ma'am are full of shit.

You're also assuming Sony won't be dead and buried before the PS4 comes out...
I'm sure of that... at least I would HOPE they would use something a little more modern in tactics than something a 16 year old script kitty probably did on a bored evening in Mommy's basement...
Which is about THREE bucks each more than they apparently paid for our "security"...
Touche', good sir/ma'am. Well said.

One quick question... when was the last time Google bricked anyone's phone for doing something Google didn't like? Just a question...
