But bolting the thing to your head?? Seriously?? WTF?

Then you need harder stuff...
Cubes!
nook is LCD dumbass...
And learn to spell before you start talking about physics, the concepts of which are obviouly well beyond your grasp...
I do not know if you are aware but did you check how "easy" it was to mod more recent models such as the HTC Legend and HTC Desire??
Well, let me tell you it is _not_ easy. HTC also implements protections:
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-legend-legend-modaco-com/305927/htc-legend-root-update/
and so does any other phone manufacturer for that matter.
So to say that HTC "might be passively encouraging modding" might be a bit overboard...
...of excess bloat.
But there currently is no single browser without it's shortcomings really...
Only in America...
Lol...
Are the checks really that bad at that border??? I would be surprised. Back here they show us NatGeo documentaries about how brutally efficient US border patrols are at keeping out Mexicans, using all sorts of new fangled equipment
It would be especially absurd since I know for a fact that Mexicans cannot even do a transit flight through the US. (for example fly from Brussels to NY to get a connection to Mexico. Even if the Airport transit zone is supposed to be just that, a transit zone, not part of actual US territory... absurd...
Your point being??
I do not care what others do.
My experience is just that I have to provide my CC numbers and be charged without even as much as an explanation (why, are my CC data safe, why is the fee as high as it is...) before I can even talk to someone.
In that respect the US are behaving no better than dirty Mexican border patrolmen that want you to give them some money (because I guess that is what you are implying)
But not all organizations pretend to be the ultimate defenders of the FREE world.
Freedom and justice for all and all hat stuff...
Should be "Freedom and Justice for all... IF and WHEN it suits US"
(pun intended with those caps
You are probably right, but still it is one of my futile attempts to jus try and make it harder on them
It is just sad to be treated like this and there is nothing one can do about it.
Well just so you know, I live in Belgium and if I want to get my paperwork to travel to the US I have to CALL the US embassy (I cannot just go there, no sir, we're all terrorist here in Europe, you see) and without so much as getting a human operator to respond, like to - I don't know, ask me what the hell I want - I just have to hand over my CC number so I can be charged xx dollars, just to get them to make an appointment.
I find that very disturbing, off putting and blatantly rude... It is not because the US can do that that it bloody should. I do not want to go to the US but sometimes the circumstances force me to, but when I do I am treated like a piece of s**t with no rights... It really makes me want to go through all the hassle of getting my visa, then canceling my card and getting a new one.
Lol... at least we don't get up in arms when somebody shows a nipple on telly or when somebody says f**k on the radio.
Also, we don't go about meddling in other peoples backyard, telling them what to do and not do... free speech I hear you say?
I'll take our version of freedom any day...
because they can
And I am a big fan of astalavista . com for exactly that reason.
