Now, if I could just figure out why those nice young men on/b/ asked for video of my young daughter ironing... (Disclaimer: I do the ironing, my wife scorches white shirts, and I have no children)
Maybe... and I've been sucking on my crack pipe today... Maybe, they'll come out after all of this, claim to be in support of FOSS, and grant free, unlimited license to any project which makes its full source code freely (beer-ly and/or speech-ly) available.
Those wishing to downgrade their copies of Vista to XP actually did wish to do so due to hardware speed.
Go figure. I used to think the same, until I was given a free (legit, directly from MS) copy of Vista Ultimate to use on my sufficiently powered laptop. I'll never go back to XP.
I don't pirate windows, but I'll detail why one, even a linux fan, might need to.
I prefer Linux for nearly any task. However, there is one application I like to run and one which I must run, which require windows. One of them requires direct access to the hardware.
The result of this is that I must run Windows on my laptop. I use PuTTY and Xming to connect to a beefy Linux machie; the processing power of both machines and the speed and quality of my LAN ensures that my Linux applications do not suffer any in performance.
Had I not received a free copy of Vista Ultimate from Microsoft, I would have pirated XP, although I am a Linux fan. In doing so, I would still care about alternatives, as it is one of these alternatives that is my preference.
You don't need a JTAG for that, you can load whatever firmware you want by connecting it to Desktop Manager with the battery removed.
Of course, this overwrites anything that was in the onboard flash.
Oh, and if it's not signed with the correct cert, it'll fail to execute.
Oh, and if the challenge-response tests the radio and encryption systems (both hardware) do against the currently running firmware fail, you have no network or decryption abilities.
Chances are, if you've got the tech and skills to bypass these checks, you're already in the windoze box the BES is hosted on and don't need my blackberry anyway.
When your phone provides its operator access to your email and a host of applications with access to potentially every bit of confidential data about your company, setting a password is only step 1.
The ability to click a button and wipe everything off that device is a MUST, for the occasions when your phone, either forcefully or accidentally, becomes someone else's phone. The ability to encrypt the phone's contents so that the 'new user' must manually go through all of the data and copy it down by hand is quite nifty, as it gives you substantially more time to realize your phone is no longer in your possession and to report it and have it wiped BEFORE they're able to copy everything off of it!
Encryption and remote wipe are the niftiest features of ANY portable device with access to critical company resources.
Yes, and still have excellent karma. Plenty to burn, actually. What's funny about it is I was mocking those who mock apple fanbois, not mocking apple fanbois themselves; I was probably modded down by every apple fanboi on/. for it, though.
Slashdot Mirror
I use adblock primarily for these sites.
When I come across a site that doesn't do this bullshit, I make sure to allow their ads.
Hell, Slashdot is giving me the option of disabling advertising just by clicking a checkbox; I'm not doing it.
I don't know whether to mod this troll, offtopic, flamebait, or funny, so I'm replying instead. Well played.
"Do not wear clothes while ironing."
That's the rule in MY house.

Amen. Canonical is the LAST bunch of crackmonkeys I'd want working on the kernel.
That said, apparently crackmonkeys are great at userland stuff.
a 4channer would've said "BITS or GTFO"

A man can dream, right?
like a redundant reuse of similar duplicate terms that mean the same thing?
After the JavaScript finishes, I barely have time for the headline!
It's already fixed in the production version of Android. How long until the 3.1 OS is released? How long until everyone updates after that?
These are the facts, not sensationalism.
attach them to some friggin' sharks and i'll take 10!
My penis is a fucking/boring tool.
They're culturally complacent, just like we are here, in the US.

Actually not true.

You made a pro-MS comment.
You don't need a JTAG for that, you can load whatever firmware you want by connecting it to Desktop Manager with the battery removed.

There was a time when you may have had a vehicle, but most people did not. Keep that in mind while telling me I'm on the wrong side of the HTPC fence.
For pure irony, I mod you +5, Fail.
<tongue href="cheek">And that's a good thing. We don't need pro-MS and pro-Linux posts being modded into oblivion.</tongue>
In replying to a mockery of the anti-apple crowd, you don't understand what the term "devil's advocate" means. Fail.
Yes, and still have excellent karma. Plenty to burn, actually. What's funny about it is I was mocking those who mock apple fanbois, not mocking apple fanbois themselves; I was probably modded down by every apple fanboi on /. for it, though.
Gotta love it.
Why not, you gave them your nuts when you signed for 2 years to get the 3G.
