And yes the last time I tried and failed to install an xda android rom my device was trashed. It was my fault I missed one of the 50 perquisite steps required.
Again, you do have to exercise some care when buying a device. Look it up on XDA-Developers before buying, and never buy a device which hasn't already been subjected to some scrutiny. You don't just get a free pass, you have responsibilities.
What you're not explaining is that the people who are making all the money are able to dodge the taxes.
I'm ok with them watching porn, as long as they don't have to see that rampart violence that litters TV.
Let's teach our kids that if someone fucks with them, it's ok to fuck them back.
It is not a necessity. Not any more than a computer, an internet connection or a dishwasher. It's a matter of convenience and enjoyment. People want to watch their shows. And to watch them, they need to be able to do just that. They don't care that they get channels they don't want to get. What difference does it make for them?
I'm a type 1 diabetic you insensitive clod! I have no insulin to respond with!
Go look in your fridge.
1. New stuff is 3x sweeter - 2. You use 1/3 less - 3. ???? - 4. Profit
Of ot's 3x sweeter, shouldn't you be using 2/3 less?
Wow, someone sure pushed your buttons. You're quite defensive, aren't you?
Probably hyper from drinking too much soda.
Worse, by giving everyone all channels, it enables channel drift, where a channel devoted to say Sci-Fi, slowly shifts away from science fiction to garbage. Why? Because people get the channel that don't want Sci-Fi.
Hmm... couldn't we simply do away with them instead of me? I mean, it does accomplish the same purpose.
Your ilk (what you vote for) are identical.
No. I'll give you kind, but not degree. Her Majesty is major league, compared to the T-ball players around her. Irrespective of party.
The problem is that the only real option you have is abstaining. You don't want this behaviour? No cable TV for you. Because there's no such thing as a "channel mix" that you want. Have you ever taken a look at the average "basic mix" of channels? Nobody, absolutely nobody, on this planet would choose these channels. No matter what his interests.
If you're not happy with this, your choice is to do without. Not only without the channels you don't want, but also the ones that you would want. Don't want Sports and Bible TV? Ok, no SciFi for you either.
And most people would rather grin and bear it than abstain. Essentially what it means to them is that they don't get the 100+ channels promised but actually just about 10, with 90+ more that could as well not exist.
Dinosaurs aren't extinct. They've just learned to hide in the trees.
