That's a good tip, I'll keep it in mind for the future.

My mother in law has an Android phone (along with her husband, my wife, her brother, my two sisters, and my mom) and she also runs Linux! She knows next to nothing about computers and I was sick of dealing with their Windows installation every time I visited, so a few years ago I installed Ubuntu and called it a day. Only questions I get now is when she accidentally drags the Gnome bar somewhere or there's a printer issue (and it has always been a physical printer issue, nothing with CUPS).

If my mother in law can run Android successfully, anyone can.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with you. I like the semi-looseness of baseball: the phantom tags and such. Some of that has just been developed naturally for safety over the years and you would pretty much have to outlaw any kind of take-out slide to also eliminate phantom tags and such.

To me, baseball is what it is today from its history, nostalgia, and aura around the game. It might sound somewhat mystical, but in some ways, the umpires are as important to the game as the players. Plus, I don't want baseball to turn into football where they spend three minutes looking to make sure the feet land in bounds and all that, though I guess I don't mind instant replay for non-subjective things like foul balls and home runs.

Well, way to help a brother out.

I'm an adult with faith but his complaint seems more than warranted.

I'm in the full beta test, not just weekend, and unless your TOS is different, there will be no discussion here. All beta testers can admit is:
1. The fact that the game exists
2. The fact that you are in the beta test

So yeah, umm... just try it out?

It's hilarious how Slashdot used to be a gathering place for people actually interested in technology, now it's been reduced to this.

My wife, sister, mom, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and father-in-law all have Android phones, actually only two variations among them. I would root them all if I could, but it voids the warranty, and I don't want to be _that_ guy who screws people from getting their phone fixed. Instead, I just listen to them complain about City ID, etc. Ah well.

I personally like socks over port 443, encrypted traffic on the expected encrypted port!

It would be nice if you didn't phrase half of your post in the subject so I could figure out WTF you were trying to say.

Thanks for everything and good luck.

Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy

First time I encountered nastiness from pre-fetching was from using Stumbleupon. It would pre-fetch the next stumble (this can thankfully be disabled, though it should be noted you would have stumbled to it either way), so I would get a Noscript warning on like a Youtube or Wikipedia page, bit bizarre. Only until I stumbled again and actually landed on the page in question would things become clearer.

They're called _Activision_ Blizzard, and jumped the shark years ago. Let me know when they jump the Death Star or something.

Where's the Attack the Block review? Sounds like that is the real alien genre mashup winner.
