Who is Brett Jeffery - Introductions

Hello to whom I'm talking to,
My name is Brett Jeffery,I'm 51 years old,on the outside n about 36 on the inside,lol.
So I like to think.im just an average guy who's had some up and downs in life as have most people I guess,um my downs were big in that they altered my life's course n still affect me today I just hide better than before n my ups well my ups were n still tend to be memorable.
I like to see people smile n so I tend to joke around alot n it helps me hide my pain to I guess but I am who I am n I'm ok.

Welcome to XDA! Staying young on the inside is always a positive mindset. We have quite a few members in their 50s and above, my colleagues @Badger50 and @Oswald Boelcke for example. Personally, I'm "only" 35, but after spending 9 years in the Marine Corps, I feel much much older.

The Rudegar Appreciation Society

Rudegar is in my opinion a 'real' jedi!
His broad knowledge of Xda's is unrivalled in this forum!
His altruism shows no bounds.
He is the the only one I can see with over a 1000 posts...
Rudegar, tell us more about yourself.
1. What's your job
2. Where do you live?(country)
3. What do you do other than sit on the forum all day? hobbies
4. Are they your ribs on the avatar?
5. What really makes you angry?
Thats all for now...
He is great!
He is a "JeDi" & I am a jedi jerk
:mrgreen: [/b]
Come on Rudegar, dont by shy.
See, the Jedi code is inculcated with modesty!
first of all i'd like to add that i dont see myself as more then everybody else, there are many people in the forum who do a lot to help others and to give access to kitchens and do programming and modifying of stuff to help others

2. denmark
3. well between jobs right now :/ other then hanging out in a few forums i play computer games and do sports, program for fun wonder if i should get around to doing more stuff around the house , music, reading, writing applications for jobs (well only been out of a job for a few weeks so..)

yeah think it's an average 1-2 degrees colder here then in most of uk
we pretty much line with edinburgh but i think the mountains of norway also play a factor 10c 2m/sec and cloudy
Which git voted for rudegar dressing up as darth vader? :evil: :evil: :twisted: :twisted:

Ladies vs Men

Thought about this and wanted to ask. If folks feel this is not appropriate then feel free to say so in a kindly manner and we can have the thread removed. Please do not respond to just bash or make offensive comments.
I'm in the technical field and there have been more women joining in. Curios as to how many ladies out there that are flashing their phones?
This is not public and shouldnt show anyone who they are. I will only post after 5 days the results.
i believe the majority of members on this board are men... however, alot more women are starting to surface and are eager to flash and help out... maybe the female members can help smack down the god complex some of our male members seem to have
I Am Woman -- Hear Me Roar!!!
LOL!! Yes, I'm a FEMALE geek and proud of it. Some of you already knew that, though (like Shogunmark, meschle, Dr. P. and vijay -- among others)
I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- I've flashed my Wizard with more ROMS than Quaker's got oats. For me, it's a POWER issue that I can do anything a MAN can do -- and just as well, if not better.
I used to just build desktop systems for myself, my family and friends, but then I got my Wizard and found this forum and I've become an INCURABLE addict. I just HAVE to have the newest ROM that hits the forums.
I don't think you'll find any of my posts asking about how to do something because I don't want to look like a "dumb female". Rather, I spend a LOT of time reading and learning so I know how to fix something ahead of time.
Now, I'm do a lot of reading on programming languages and coding. Sometimes, I think I'm in over my head with it, though. But, the only way to learn is to read and by "hands on" experience. So, I'll wait til the Kaiser comes out to buy it and start applying some of the stuff I'm learning to the Wizard when it won't matter if I muck it up. . .
This is fantastic. Glad you posted Newbie2. Wish other ladies here would follow suit. Like to see the ladies win this cause the men are slacking by just veiwing and not posting.
Thanks for voting Newbie2...

. . . probably 'cause we're too busy tweaking our phones (and picking up after the MEN) to care how we look. LMAO!!!
Going have to disagree here. I've been in meetings and worked closely along side with several women that were very attractive. I work at the photonic layer and some of these women are truly geeks. (Never judge a book by its cover)
I forgot to mention the rules, lowest number wins

Fair play!
Girls geeks have their non-physical sexiness. I like girls with BIG phones (e.g. HTC series, SonyE P900 series, etc) makes looks more sophisticated rather than just face and dress. And girls talking Linux and programmings are sexy in a way.. probably it makes them looks smarter I like smart girls.

The only thing I wonder about is why some women want things that men have just because men have them. That was the old 60s/70s feminism - we want what men have. Since then the movement grew up and now in the main it is more about women going for the things they want, whether or not these are things men do or want.
So I worry about your statement :
"For me, it's a POWER issue that I can do anything a MAN can do -- and just as well, if not better."
Who gives a sh** about whether a man can do it or not, it's whether you want to do it or not that matters.
As a famous feminist Germain Greer once said "comparing ourselves to men serves only to demean us and make us look weak, as if we looked up to men and strive to be as good as they are. More to the point is whether we can achieve the things we want to achieve without reference to men at all"

I remember the "power struggle" of the Women's Movement back in the late 60's and early 70's, since I was just graduating High School at that time. So, some of that propaganda has stayed with me over the years. But I'm afraid the old adage of "A woman has to work twice as hard to achieve twice as much to be considered half as good as a man" is still the norm in the business world, unfortunately. And you still hear the assinine gossip about any woman that actually WORKS her way to the top SLEPT her way to the top. While women have made great strides in the business community in the past 30 years, it's still considered a "man's world" out there.
But to put your anxiety about my statement to rest -- I do it to prove to MYSELF that I can do it -- because I WANT to do it. And I actually was echoing the "brand" put on me by some of my co-workers about being a "female geek". A geek is a geek is a geek -- doesn't matter whether they're maile or female. It's like I've contracted some type of communicable disease. But when THEY have problems, guess who they come to?? LOL!!
I'm an independent spirit and actually my worst fear is ever having to depend on ANYONE for anything. So, I've learned to learn to do for myself. And -- at the end of the day -- I can honestly say I've done all I can do and feel good about what I accomplished. . .

That is somewhat not true, sex does play a part in certain (not all) things/situations. Take Lara Croft, of Tomb Raider, for example, I don't think the game itself will be a hit if you have a muscle guys doing all those little moves "Action girls" are still currently not a norm yet, and hence made them unique, so does girl-geeks. Guy-geeks are usually marked as 'geek', while girl-geeks may be marked as 'intelligent'. Same goes with a guy on certain subject, girl-cooks are 'nice', while guy-cooks are sexy. Guy-presidents are.. *yawn*.. girl-presidents are WOW.
And I remember this from a movie..
Men with grey hairs are sexy, women with grey hairs are just old.
Women with breasts are sexy, men with breasts are ....
ps: Hanmin's law.. nice Lets tag the geeks
women are the backbone of the world
men have highly easy to mutate y cromosoms
and a stable x cromosom
women have 2 x so if 1 is bad they got the other
evolution is in mutation which is the Y cromosom so this is where we adapt
so
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6547675.stm
would be bad for human kind
less small mutation to adapt our spieces
men are in general more extreme then females
their IQ curse is more flat meaning they are more present in the
extreme high iq and also in the extreme low iq
both places extremes where people dont
prosper
being in the middle where most women reside is
the backbone of the world really

Mmm. well since women aren't the backbone here at XDA-Dev, then by your case that must be because XDA-Dev is at one of the male extremes. Either very low or very high IQ. Maybe we should let newbie2 decide the answer!

Let's just say I've seen both ends of the spectrum on here and leave it at that.
And -- just so you don't think I spend ALL my time on here and don't do anything else, at the present I'm multi-tasking. . . have a chicken in the smoker for supper, doing laundry, AND setting up my new GPS software.

yes...major league baseball...since this is the off topic forum, and spring exhibition games are just days away!
I invite all baseball fans to talk about their teams, likes, dislikes, views on specific players
..as everyon can see from my avatar, I am an AVID yankee fan, and am fairly confident 2009 = 27
even if we 'bought' our team, its the yankees being the yankees, hate it or love it (i love it)
and NO I am not a fan because of there extensive pay roll or all-star lineup
Boooooooo! Orioles!

You are hereby expelled from Red Sox Nation and have 30 days to move out of R I .
Even with your " bought team ", I will make some predictions. Burnett will turn into the Burnett the Jays wasted millions on. Sabathia will wilt under the pressure and media glare of New York ( ala Randy Johnson ), Hal and Hank are just idiots and will never measure up to Dad, No matter how much money they spend.
Joba will never live up to the hype, too much too soon. Alex will be dogged and distracted all year by steroids and Madonna. We will see how Teixeira plays now that he is a rich man, set for life and really has everything to prove, but nothing to play for anymore. Posada is done, Matsui is done. Damon is done.
And Girardi won't be able to keep the circus together, like Torre did.
Watching the RED SOX in the World Series will be tough for N.Y. but hey they must be getting used to it by now. Go Sox

*tear*
nothing can be said on burnette and sabathia, except that ..YOUR WRONG haha...we will have to wait until the season begins, however, Burnette will be getting better run support which will lead to more wins, giving him better confidence, and check his stats, last year, 35 games 231SO 86BB, not so shabby, that 18w 10L will translate to 21-9, and sabathia, im going to say 23w - 7L
damon, done. this is true, cabrera will step up his season, if he doesnt then he goes bye bye, and he wants to stay in NY.
Matsui is still a quality hitter, if we already have a DH he will be a valuable trade option, perhaps up the bullpen. Joba has pretty much already proven himself. Phil Hughes, should take his job as set up man, unless there is a injury to the starting rotation. and Giradi has already done a hell of a job last season with the mess he was brought into
hank + hals dicks will never be as big as Georgey boy, this is true
and p.s I excommunicated myself from R.S nation a long time ago...born a yankee fan
..anything i miss lol

Meet the world's tallest teenager

At 14 years old and 6'9'', Elisany Silva is the tallest teenager in the world. Her height hasn't come without problems--she had to leave school and her parents don't have enough money to determine the cause of or treat her inordinate growth. But Elisany wants to make the best of her size, her runway debut explaining that she is interested in modeling. She will reportedly be making her runway debut at a bridal fashion show in Belem, Brazil.
Wouldn't that be an interesting romp in the park.....
of age of course.........
good day.
1 word ... na'vi ?
woooooo ahaha soulja ^^^^
I could see her as a modle, she is fairly pretty (how do i say that without being a creep? Im only 4 years older than her haha)
But 6'7? thats just strange.
This video might affect android user (G1) in a negative way....he's like 4'ft tall and almost the same age. You people are cruel
hhaha lol ^
Now i feel short and i'm 6'2" @ almost 19yo
lol,
I think she looks hot. She could be a good model.
