To be fair, you pretty much had to miss about an entire week of news around the internet to have missed out on the loose cable story. People tend to take their light-speed limits pretty seriously these days.

Wow, I rescind my previous statement, LBE is basically exactly what I want. And it doesn't crash things. Thanks. This right here should be built-in functionality.

Yes, but most apps are written incorrectly (they don't ask for permissions in a try/catch block), so for example when I told my ROM not to let Facebook access my GPS, the Facebook app would simply crash on opening.
This will only really work if it's a standardized OS-wide feature.

It's possible to do SMD by hand, but it's also possible to cut your lawn with a pair of scissors.
If you are going to be doing much surface mount work, it's probably in your best interest to at the very least get a hot air reflow station.

Sorry they were 3 minutes late for you.

Clearly you missed out on an entire decade of First-Person-Shooter games.

Yes, I found it nice to learn C from the guy who actually invented C.

But there's no wind inside that airplane.

They already do. It is, however, a bit hard to get to.

There are two common ways around this:

One is two create a "dummy" Google Account that you use only to access things like the Android Market and Contact Sync.

Alternatively you can skip using a Google Account altogether, and get your apps from something like the Amazon Appstore. You won't have an automatic backup of your app and contact data at that point, but from there you can always root the phone and then install something like Titanium Backup.

This functionality is available in CyanogenMod ROMs already.

This reminds me of George Lucas' staff as seen in the Phantom Menace review.

by what factor is C proportional to r?

You could at least tell us non-math-degrees...

I got your new Jack right here.

Only because you lied to him about something !
