    So, you don't know how to iterate numbers to pull out ALLthe IMEI numbers?

    If you tell a farmer that there's a heatwave coming in ~50 days, I guarantee you they will do things differently.

    Water patterns, planting patterns, fertilizing patterns, moving livestock to better places, etc, etc, etc.

    I'm guessing you're not too familiar with farmers.

    The moss on those rocks might develop C4 photosynthesis which can then be GMO'd into rice which can then feed the whole planet with less water.

    Yes. You search by name, not IMEI. That's just the primary key.

    Perhaps you should go back & read the second to last sentence in TFS.

  5. Or users that only try one method of updating as 'full of hot water'.

  6. I'm glad this was fixed, but for several days I had a bricked device (you ended stuck on the activation screen, with no option to skip that process)

    Meh. This happened to me on an iPad2.

    I fixed it by plugging it into the computer. Worked fine then.

    You can create your own, searchable, database of everyone using TrueCaller.

    And then sell access to it.

    Nope.

    Windows 3.11 was the decent, and third, version
    OSR2 was the 4th version of Win95
    98 SP2 was the only one that was the second version.
