    I believe that this has been repeated incessantly, but if you want complete freedom over your phone, get a Nexus.Samsung phones are great for average users, but thats it.

    I don't have any mod points so I will just say thank you. I hate video autoplay but never thought to google a way to disable it.

  6. Re:I remember Doom 3. on New DOOM Game Not Dead: Beta Comes With Wolfenstein Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    that was completely intentional.. the goal was to build mood and suspense through the lack of visibility.. they accomplished this. things like the 'duct-tape' mod kind of ruined the atmosphere :(

    If that is the case, then why did they made the "duct tape" permanent in the BFG Edition?. I think there are better ways to create suspense.

    Unless of course, they keep running with their blinders on.

    Like refusing to reinstate the start menu on Windows 8.1 and forcing that metro crap instead of listening to their customers?

    2 different purchases, and subsequent returns. 1 Toshiba, 1 Lenovo 64 bit bios on both

    Do you have the models? I still do not believe that Secure Boot cannot be turned off.

  11. Re:win8 and UEFI on PC Sales See 'Longest Decline' In History · · Score: 1

    WTF are you talking about? Every Win8 branded system I have seen has the option to disable Secure Boot. IIRC Microsoft requires that the computer has the ability to switch it off to grant the Win8-Certified Logo. That is of course, except Windows RT devices, which have nothing to do with what we are talking about.

  14. Re:Correlation vs Causation? on ZDNet Proclaims "Windows: It's Over" · · Score: 1

    Your "every 2nd Windows OS sucks" logic is flawed, since your list is incomplete. Here is, in my opinion, a more complete list:

    Windows 3.0 - Kind of sucked
    Windows 3.1 - Great
    Windows 95 - Sucked until OSR2. Then it was pretty good.
    Windows 98 - Sucked
    Windows 98 SE - Great
    Windows 2000 - Awesome
    Windows ME - Im not even going to comment on this one
    Window XP - Sucked until SP2. Then it was awesome
    Windows Vista - Sucked and still sucks after 2 service packs
    Windows 7 - Awesome
    Windows 8 - Great OS underneath a nearly unusable UI

  15. Re:A contrived test: old phone, old operating syst on Wiping a Smartphone Still Leaves Data Behind · · Score: 4, Informative

    The author used the last iPhone (3G) running the last iOS version (4) that would exhibit such behavior. It seems a contrived test. An upgrade to iOS 5 would fix the problem on the 3G. On newer phones the encryption key needed to access the data is destroyed, so the problem never would have occurred.

    Sorry, but the iPhone 3G tops out at version 4.1.2. The 3GS, on the other hand, does have support for iOS 6, if I remember correctly.

  16. Re:Cyanogenmod not on Galaxy S4 on Galaxy S 4 Dominates In Early Benchmark Testing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Unfortunately that means you will be stuck with the Android version that comes with your device until Samsung and your carrier decide to upgrade it. That takes a loong time after Google releases updates. I have a Galaxy SII running the latest version of Android (4.2.2), but if I had not rooted it and switched ROMs, it would be running 4.0.4.

    I once knew a kid who, whether through a mental disability or through general weirdness, liked to smear his poop around places in public. I would consider him a greater artist than George Lucas, except for the fact his works could be considered an imitation of Revenge of the Sith.

    Michael Bay?

    Oh, you said greater artist.... never mind

    Agreed, however most criminals aren`t going for a lot. If they can take a couple of LED TVs, basic jewelry and assorted crap, its worth for them.

    I was not attacking your question. I was poking a little fun a the whole Linux-GNU/Linux controversy, and remembered reading sometime ago on Wikipedia about Linus' opinion on the matter, where he said using the name GNU/Linux was "ridiculous".
