Yes it does.

Jailbreaking requires you to write code to modify the bootstrap sequence. If you cannot do this, you must TRUST someone else will ENTER YOUR SYSTEM, and then LEAVE. You TRUST the program(s) they left behind (Cydia or equivalent) do not have any holes (like enabling telnet/ssh/trojan/something else bad by default) or, if they do (Strike 1), they will update their code appropriately and quickly (Strike 2 if they don't).

And that's only if you now use your phone as if it isn't jailbroken. If you want to install unsigned apps (reason most (everyone?) jailbreak), you leave yourself even more open to attack every unsigned app you install. That isn't to say you safe via Apple's signed process, but you are definitely not *safer* than without Apple. Unless you took *additional* precautions after jailbreaking, you must worry about leaving your phone anywhere as any technically minded person can get root access to your phone and install any sort of "bad" software!

Saying jailbreaking does not magically leave your phone wide open for attack is incredibly naive!

I read your comment 3 times before realizing it had nothing to do with the comment AC left, but was a reply to the OP.

Why must people reply to a reply just to get their post higher up?

If internet avatars had human sentimentality, yours would be one of those emo dudes who go around trying to get people to notice them.

I think you're confusing "original research" with the type of research you do to complete assignments. In essence, by doing what you are saying the grades don't have to speak for themselves. It isn't a matter of doing well on assignments, it is how you complete the assignment. There's nothing really scholarly in what you are doing, which was ColdWetDog's point.

To understand (which you are clearly too young to understand), imagine a world without the internet or wikipedia. You would not be able to do a quick query, find a passage in a book, look up that single page on amazon, and use it as a reference in the assignment you are working on. You would have to do *scholarly research* to get the job done which is what you are NOT doing. This involves, going to the library, finding a category of the subject you are working on, choosing a selection of books and culling information from them not based on a few pages. As someone who has spent days on end doing this, and also done your way to quickly get an assignment done, the processes for each are world's apart.

I'm not really sure why you are depriving yourself of a really good opportunity to get an education. It's also disappointing that research is not an integral part of completing papers for your class. Why bother at all? If you are going to cheat, at least acknowledge that you *are* cheating. If you don't, it makes the people who actually do the work look bad.

Actually, a lot of experts in a field may be coming up with original research in the field, and thus have no authority to comment in the wikipedia article as no original research is permitted.

I really don't get it, why not just fixed those factual errors?? It sounds like you saw those errors in wikipedia in 2005 and never bothered to do anything with it other than acknowledge something is wrong. Then, recently, you read the same article and again noticed the same error you registered in 2005 but complain about it? When you say "they've never fixed" you do realize you are really saying I never fixed it right? Because "they" is "you"!

Why are you complaining over something you have control over? Just curious.

So that's informative huh? I guess we *are* on slashdot. In that case let me indulge a bit of what a small little bird once let me know. (This is all from memory so bare with me.)
