Comment Re:Custom ROM? (Score 1) 129

yes, but it still runs just fine if inserted into a custom rom, it cant be shipped with it, but it does have all the functionality if added in after the rom is flashed. Its not something the avg user will do but i get all that without any issues running cyanogenmod after using the gutils.zip file

Yes, you can go to prison, without trial, for over 10 years, for possessing a $4 watch

was that the SOLE reason? or just a contributing factor?? did you know that ALL men and women in prison breathe air??

on top of all the other "short inconveniences" already? no thanks. all those add up to one giant pain in the ass. The only reason I can think of this being used *puts on tin foil hat*

they want to mirror everything on your electronic device. they cant do that if its powered off, powered on they can either have you plug it in for "testing" or simply sniff the wifi and attack that vector. With everything we learned to date from snowden i would not be shocked., hell this could simply be to keep another snowden from exiting the country! *removes tin foil hat*

now what was I saying? oh right, theres nothing to see here, the TSA is our friends

and what does his use of googleglass have to do with anything? i would think googleglass would be great for hardware engineering due to being able to place schematics right in front of you without hindering your flow.

there are legit reasons to use glass, just because the people in san fran hate it, doesnt make it the devil

my father shoots off professional shows and I asked him about this. he said the worst case scenario he can think of would be if the drone was low, like within 20 feet of the launch and it blasted it with a direct hit. he said the crowds generally would be safe as they do take mishaps like a rogue firework into consideration when planning the location and the distance of the viewers. on the other hand that could potentially cause issues with the people setting them off. he says where the thing was in relation to the show, hes thinking about doing it himself from now on at all of his shows

if I want to travel to a particular city by rail

well sure if you limit your options, if you had the statement "if i want to travel to city A, I can take a car built by many different companies, I can take a plane, run by many different companies. and theres also a train"

that is the same logic as if i want to play a video game i only have nintendo, well no you have other options out there, if you pigeonhole yourself thats on you.

of course, lets face it, think of how stupid the avg american is, and remember 1/2 are stupider than that.

Most things that are talked about by politicians when it comes to subsidies are not only bending of the truth but straight up lies. For example the lie that the oil companies pay no taxes. it is a bullshit lie that many love to believe and keep perpetrating the myth for example EXXON payed a REAL tax number of 9.5 BILLION Dollars in total taxes in 2010. http://www.washingtonpost.com/...

people LOVE to fudge numbers, and the truth is it usually hurts them too. most people ONLY think of the federal income tax (which should be abolished) but we have state taxes, local taxes other fees etc etc.

Long story short, people really need to stop talking about the oil industry and politics together because people are fucking stupid
