I had exactly the same idea the other day. I'm surprised that this doesn't exist yet, in some form or another.

If you get one but are not a developer, is there anything you can enjoy with it yet?
Your AT&T story reminds me of my own bad experiences with that carrier. I've been on a pre-paid carrier for a long time now and find I much prefer it.
My bill is completely predictable, and best of all, my phone company doesn't have access to any of my billing information. They can't just decide to charge me a mystery fee, or otherwise screw up the billing.
It's great and I will never go back to post-paid and contracts.
How did I not know about this firmware project? Thanks for posting that!
WDTV is fantastic... sometimes, even computer guys don't want another computer around.
"THAT IS TOO MUCH VERMOUTH."
It does seem obvious, and I'm on your side, but consider the mindset of the other side. There are people, a *lot* of people, who consider using almost any kind of recreational drugs to be deeply immoral.
Their concerns are not born of the violence of the drug business, but the chemical itself. If you miracled up a pot plant from another dimension and used it in perfect isolation, they'd still consider that act to be immoral and worth society's effort to stamp out.
You're not going to win the day with arguments of practicality. The pro-legalization forces have to beat both the folks who think that the War on Drugs is an important ethical position, and the folks who benefit from the growing police state that the War on Drugs sponsors.
They should have named Classic Shell "Tron" instead, because it fights for the User.
I have a Nexus 7. Both the 2012 and 2013 versions will get wiped if unlocked. If I find that I really do need to root, I will, but it's enough of an inconvenience that I haven't done it yet.
At least there's a nice tool for it:

It would be nice if I could unlock/root my device without wiping it at least.
This is a great article that discusses the physics behind energy storage, and why hydrocarbons are so hard to beat in some areas.
> The reason we pay so much for health care is because the recipient doesn't know and/or doesn't care how much it costs, namely because they don't pay for it. Likewise, they don't shop around.
It's hard to shop around when in some cases they can't even tell you the costs.
I had to go to the ER for a bad cut. As they were stitching me up, the finance person came in with a clipboard to have me sign things. I asked, "how much is all this going to cost?" She laughed--laughed!--and said I'd find out in a few months.
I looked up "horse ebooks" on Twitter and I assure you, it still isn't interesting.
Don't just say, "go to the library," give us something to work with if you are familiar with the topic.
You can use a USB drive via a USB on-the-go cable and a few bucks of software. It's not perfect but it gets me by.
We've already institutionalized "no joke" zones at airports. Unfortunately, it is only a matter of time before there are more such restrictions.
BLISS is ignorance.
