  1. Re:Better Android on CyanogenMod Drops ROM Manager In Favor of OTA Updates · · Score: 1

    Yes, but you're missing the point a little. My first flashing went just as well as my latest one- I've never had a problem. IF something went wrong I'd be just as unlikely to know what to do NOW as I was then, as I said, I'm no flashing expert, just a user!

    These trolls really do do it on purpose, regarding "viruses" or "bricked ma fone" or whatever, they never seem to follow up with logs or discussion threads or anything; I think they're manufacturer personnel spreading FUD or trolls. Goto xda; have a good read, let's see what you think then.

    "people in far over their head".

    Those are trolls. The same people who post the thousandth comment on a torrent thread asking if it haz viruz, duh? On a torrent seeded by thousands whose ISO image checksums (Yes, I like windiff...) the same as the retail...

    I've flashed dozens of phones, going as far back as Symbian, even, for example, just enable SIM Menus on a carrier-WinMo or whatever. Guess what? Zero bricks, and I'm hardly an expert, just a user.

  3. Re:I've got a vague idea of what Steam is - on Valve Blog Announces Dates For Steam Linux External Beta · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Slashdot is miraculously blessed by IT departments. In one of the offices I work at, their connection is so limited it's untrue - even stuff like the Community Recycling Network (crn.org.uk) is blocked, and the block page says "Category: None" so it may even be a whitelist.

    Yet all the slashdot subdomains and the main one are completely unfiltered - along with, suspiciously enough, things like The Register and xkcd. So it's geeks policing geeks I guess. I get a free pass!

    Didn't the Americans already coin this phrase, and do their math based upon it, before they went into Iraq for oil?

  5. Re:Really old news on Phony Laser Security System Proves Perception Is Reality · · Score: 1

    Lasers, my friend, lasers.

    Slashdot can't resist any bit of news or new product that might even hint at lasers. Throw sharks into the mix if you can and PROFIT!

    No, understand what I'm talking about, or attempt to, please. I meant "Why has his account been suspended?"

    Wow, mods, read it, that's not a Troll, it's Informative! I'm amused too.

    It's Microsoft you have to thank for that kludge of a package management / installer system, HP's drivers work fine one finally installed.

    The LaserJet hardware is pretty amazing, too. I still have loads of ancient ones slaving away in bondage in client's offices, still printing crisp, beautiful invoices, ah invoices...

    Lol, this idiot has been trolling me about my gender (yes, you heard that right, my gender; his issues!) ever since I got into an epic flamewar with the HOSTS troll and someone who is actually transgendered, and has been trolled for it.

    I assumed it was him. It's been going on a while, now.

    Do you still look like a giant wart, or is there another reason you're still stalking me, HOSTS troll?

    Yes. I concur. I spend loads on media, blank Ibm-Formatted floppies, DVD+R, CDs... Pirates definitely buy more media...

    Actually it provides plausible denial for encrypted torrent traffic. Breaking the encryption for purposes other than download is being complicit. It puts and end to the Star I AA's case, finally!

  14. Re:sexy sports stars on Why You Should Be More Interested In Mars Than the Olympics · · Score: 1

    Actually, the generic term is "swimming trunks". Similar to the way in which Nike make trainers, Speedo make swimming gear. You wouldn't call all trainers Nike, would you?

    Actually, that was quite well played, Sir!

    Try reading my username. Female ability to get laid is not affected by our perceived geekiness, if anything it's easier to get laid because geeky men who can't get laid throw themselves desperately at geeky women. Knuckle-draggers just look at my figure and fancy me anyways, regardless of my perceived geekiness.

    Just sayin'.

    I'd rather be technical and correct than dumb it down and be plain wrong.

    Warp allows the ship to travel between the stars, and impulse allows the ship to travel within a star system, I.e. between planets. This is not pedantic, first of all inconsistency will put somebody off anything, and its an interstellar difference were talking about here!

    If Seamonkey adopt this silly fade-in fade-out floating toolbar-as-status-bar-replacement, that'll be the end of the Mozilla line for me. Seamonkey has always been the sensible browser for Netscape-heads from way back when since Mozilla Suite died a death and SeaMonkey came into being.

    Thanks. Or, I had missed the point of TFA, saw something you haven't, put some irrelevent information together to make a valid and interesting point for debate, and replied to a completely irrelevant post just to get my interesting topic at the top of the page. Great, I'm just one reason open debate is a good thing.
