Our intern Aaron Martin put it eloquently: "The best way to get something hacked is to say that it's unhackable." While certain phones might be a bit easier to root than others, even the "unrootable" phones like the Droid X and G2 have been rooted by the fine folks over at XDA, so I wouldn't worry about the supposed rootability of a phone when you buy. Someone will root it. I'm convinced those guys at XDA have super powers and are unstoppable.

Why do I have a feeling that the more XDA gets mainstream, the more !d!0+5 we will have here? Methinks the admins might need to implement the noob controls sooner rather than later...

All they are trying to do is not lose devs. There is no moderation in the off-topic really. There isn't much to moderate other than randomness and ADD driven posting.

Well...
I have to agree with that. Devs need more protection. Maybe we should have a different set of usercodes for devs... Only they can start topics in developement and they have absolute rights to delete any post in the threads they started

Sounds golden. They should also be allowed to block persistant trolls from their threads with one gesture. Make life easier for them. They are the awesome people who bring the awesome roms / hacks for our devices.

I'm generally nice to people. I'm one of the few in Malaysia that keeps doors open for people, regardless of who they are (I seldom get thanked for it, but I still do it). So, there ain't no special treatment for you, or for anyone if I smiled at you and try to brighten up your day.
And yes, I do smile at old people a lot, to the point that they think I'm senile.

Since he (Alan) is officially my court Jester, you have my permission to bash him for everything he said in OT. In good sport, of course. And no name callings, unless it is hilarious, then it's kinda ok.

You're not the only one, actually. There's quite a few of us (using 'us' sounds really strange though.)
I actually talk in a IRC Channel (Right?) for Gay Geeks, it's a pretty cool place.
I thought I'm seeing things while browsing OT since I'm absolutely tired, but... wow...

Check the Brony thread, it's chocked full of gays-in-hiding.
Interesting topic, though I doubt there are any issues if a developer/modder is gay, no?

A big thank you!

Just wanted to say thanks to all the people who take their personal time for the community. Whether it be developers or people who take the time to answer a question for a newbie. I realize today's thanksgiving is an American holiday, but I'm sure all of you across the planet can get on board with giving thanks for what has been created here by people intending to make our lives a little more fun by expanding our mobile devices. Thanks again for everything you do! It's very much appreciated...viva la XDA

So that's the ticket. We just start posting in other forums and snag what thanks we can before it gets moved into OT. Thanks for the idea!!
It was never my intention to get any thanks. Saying thank you was my only motive. although it is so refreshing to have people question my sincerity. Though I admit I did screw up and post in the wrong thread without thinking of the possibility of receiving a "thanks"...you all sure know how to keep someone humble.

Title says it all this is a contribution/donation. A lot of people do not know Hawknest on a personal level but he is going on his 4th knee surgery, and its not going the way he wants. Although it is never expected but always appreciated I think we should try to give him a little something for all the hardwork he has put into his Roms the requests he fills on a daily basis. He has never asked people for money and is not the type of person to be asking for money but I know him and is having a hard time with things so any little thing will help him. Please send all donations to email below thank you.

how is that bashing? That's stating something that looked to happen. I can go bash him if you really want but until then, don't just assume because I make a statement that I'm hating on someone. Just making a point.
