And our devices basically follow the same principle.
Hello fellow participants in this life we call a game, I am SumaBear. {some variants being Raebamus, AmusRaeb, }
I have enjoyed the using of and the working on computers, ever since Windows 98. creating my own personalizations with every system I've owned.
Minimalistic knowledge and skill in the code writing department, but I can read and decipher well enough.
If it ain't fixed, you didn't break it right.

Some news I wanted to share with you guys: ARTICLE
Compare with all the sharing and community sense that kings XDA Developers.
This is a nice excerpt from the article:
Apple’s stance contrasts sharply with the Windows Mobile world, where developers are seen as the life blood of the ecosystem, 3rd party applications are expected to be installed from the start, and developers do not have to jump through any hoops to distribute their application.

Nice article, but I really don't get the fanboyism and anti this and and anti that. I have my diamond, and I am extremely happy about it. Reminds me of the old school AMD vs Intel/ATi vs nVidia wars scouring hardware forums not so long ago. It's just STUFF! Things. Devices. Not ideology; someone with an iPhone isn't less of a human being than others. No wonder there's war in this world.

well, to be completly honest, apple started it to make it into something different. they want it to be a movement.... you have to think apple to own a mac.
the I'm a mac guy underlined the whole thing even more.
so I'm totally comfortable with the bashing in case of apple, even though I own a macbook and run mac os on it.
This is a bit of an odd one but I'm hoping you guys can help.
I'm getting married on the 10th October and have written the bulk of my speech (a bit of history, the thank you's, etc), I just want to add a bit extra to make it stand out and memorable. I'm "a bit of" a geek, I did Electronic Engineering at Uni, I keep upto date with gadget/tech news with sites like Engadget and Gizmodo, I've played about a bit with ROMs and tweaks for my HD2 to the point of being called "obsessed" and so on. So I want to add a bit of a geeky theme into parts of my speech.
I've already put in that the wedding date is 10/10/10, when 101010 in binary is converted to decimal; it is the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything (42).
What else do you guys think I should include?
Thanks for the help in advance!
if i may say so...dont add anything geeky to the wedding... afterall your wedding..leave tech for that day...it just doesnt suit for wedding speaches...but thats just my opinion
Congrats on the marriage!
In regards to the tech references, it does depend, at least in my opinion, what the other guests think of tech etc. If your Significent other it into Tech as well, I do not see much of an issue with it, as it is your wedding afterall.
I do like the 101010 part. Thats clever.
Sorry that I haven't been much use, just thought I would offer my opinion on the tech part.
Congrats Man can't say i's be of much help though either ;D
Cheers guys, I can see why it is and isn't something that should be part of it. The reason why I thought of it was that my university friends will be there and I want to try to include them in my speech as well, whether as a joke or something else. Also, my dad and older brother have passed their geekyness onto me, which I suppose is why I took my course.
The opening line I've used is:
"I'm sure you'll all know it's been an emotional day, even the cake is in Tiers!"
I was looking for a couple more nerdy jokes to put the finishing touches to it.
As thats the case, then i would put a few more in, but not overload it. i.e don't do it in the tone of yoda throughout
(I actually lol'd about the cake...)
The cake is a lie....
Yeoldgreat1,
Firstly, congratulations on the marriage plans!
Secondly, my first son is due on 10/10/10 and I'd worked out the binary value too. Excellent work, great minds think alike!
Thirdly, congratulations on supporting the greatest team known to man. Arteta for England!!
Fourthly, I have no suggestions for your speech...

Thanks, I was looking for some smart/geeky jokes to put in, I know it's hard to find some suitable ones.

Congrats with your son, I hope he becomes the biggest blue ever
First of all, congrats!
Now to business...
There's bound to be people who don't understand your 101010 joke. So you can follow that up with "There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't."
Then, of course, there are the classics:
"All my base are belong to you."
"I knew it was love when I memorized your IP number to skip DNS overhead."
Seriously though, don't overdo the geek stuff. Mix in some material to get the tears flowing. Those are the lines that will be most memorable, not any of the geek jokes.
Here's a line I used as a closing to my wedding speech:
"Sometimes, you would laugh and giggle, and I think to myself, what a wonderful world."

Hey guys
Hope all is well
I am an avid Windows Phone user. Love the OS, and the devices. I have written an article that was featured on Yahoo. I just wanted to share it with you guys. Please tell me what you think. Tell me if you agree or disagree with my points. Here is the link

Good post,despite the fact I hate out going hyperlink.I especially like the first reason,cuz my past experience with c# is acceptable,I was messing up with wm6.1 and sql back then.
Still,I am not going to buy a wp7 for now.Cuz I need mass storage,portable hot spot,and real multitask.One more thing I fear is our smartphone is going to end up like our diy pc,if every manufacture is making phones with the same os and same spec,than why manufacture A,not manufacture B?That could bring my editor career to hell

Thanks man, I really appreciate that.

Hello XDA, it's been a long time since I was truly active in these or any forums because life and reality provided an unintended distraction and then the pandemic. I find myself with a bit more time where I need a necessary diversion from reality and this forum has always provided this nerd with a world-wide community of nerds who really and truly know their ****. I have social networking friends that I follow, that I met through here and other technology forums that I have been friends with now for almost twenty years. I'm sure that how we met is irrelevant to many of them since we interact more about our day to day lives then the nerding out we did here in the forums. See, as a nerd, making real world friends was always difficult, but here, at XDA with my G1000 from Hitachi, one of the first-ever smart-phone, with a keyboard and a screen running Windows Mobile. I came here looking for a way to back-up my sms and call log to Microsoft Outlook and some genius had figured out a way to do it. I then had three different HTC Windows Mobile devices and XDA let me do amazing things with them.
Then, because I got suckered in to Sprint!, I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy SII Touch or something ridiculous like that and it had so many issues out if the box but 2ss an amazing device. XDA was like High School and this is where you went from teen hacker wannabe to legit 1337 skills by rooting and then installing custom roms. The addiction to that thrill of knowing that a mistake, zigging when you're supposed to zag or skipping a step, rushing and missing something could spell disaster. I dropped a phone while installing a rom and the device boot-looped hard. Not to worry, XDA was here and someone else had done something similar, there was an entire forum thread devoted to all the people who had face-planted the rooting, rom or other process and lobotomized their Android device.
I still occasionally peruse the forums, lurking and liking and once in a while, replying. I just wanted to stop by and thank you for what seems like 17 or 18 years if amazing things. By you, I mean the people who run the forums behind the scenes at all levels and the moderators that keep the law and order necessary to thrive and function and you the users who's knowledge and other contributions are why we are here in these forums, from the creators to their guinea pigs to every other lurker like me. Thanks.

Glad to see an old timer around!
HTC was my fav brand for many many years....
Hope to see ya around.
Cheers!
Hi XDA folk,
it's a pleasure to be here and I look forward to my time with you all. Thank you, Tom and Andrew, for your itervening message.
I am a mature hobbyist who was once a computer hardware engineer. I still have an interest in technology (hence, my joining the forum) and I like to tinker. I had minimal exposure to software engineering; the software department worked in Basic, Pascal and Fortran - all very foreign languages to me. I am, however, picking up on coding skills, albeit, slowly; I am a musician.
I am (even at this late stage) looking to make in-roads to cybersecurity, but progress is painfully slow (so much to learn!).
This is me, in a nutshell. Thnks for your time and we'll chat soon, no doubt.
Nice skills set Introduction!
Welcome to XDA and enjoy the forums information!
Cheers
@galaxys
Thank you.
I feel ancient, what with the pace of techonological advancement - including languages and scripts. I did dabble in machine code (burning EPROMs to correct BIOS issues), but that was four decades ago; don't ask me now!
