HTC Unlocks Bootloader For All of Its Devices 133

An anonymous reader writes "HTCDEV announced today: 'HTC is committed to listening to users and delivering customer satisfaction. We plan on releasing the updates that will allow you to unlock your bootloader in the coming months.' However, they do note this: 'It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty,' and this: 'We strongly suggest that you do not unlock the bootloader unless you are confident that you understand the risks involved.' This looks like a new year gift to some."

Comment How much have MREs improved? (Score 4, Interesting) 151

I was in one of the first training platoons in the Army which received the "newfangled" MREs instead of C-Rations. Although they were colloquially called "Meals Ready to Excrete" by the "early adopters" of such a technology of cuisine, it felt like they traveled at Mach 2 through the digestive system until the last "quarter mile" of the intestinal tunnel. Then they seemingly sat there for days.

Much of the above activity was due to the famously known "Dehydrated Beef Patty" and "Dehydrated Pork Patty." No matter how much water you added to them, they went down like shredded corrugated cardboard, exhibiting the same gustatory and gastronomical effects.

I'm sick of Slashtards acting like everything out there that isn't given without the best intentions in mind is tainted and ugly.

How's this for tainted... If a normally qualified family already has internet service through Comcast, they aren't eligible. They have to be a non-subscriber of Comcast internet for 90 days.

Comcast would rather keep sucking families dry for the simple fact that they've already committed to paying the larger price, even though it would help the family try and reduce their costs and opt for the slower broadband.

Comment Gonna Open a Key Store!!! (Score 1) 627

The penalties for using your key fob to remotely open your car doors are stiff and severe in this area!! Emergency key cutting services are available for a premium!

Don't mind that overgrown, shadowy figure guarding the door. I can't use RFID for inventory control. If you try to steal anything, Bubba will dispense swift justice on you.
