I wouldn't say I was spamming but promoting an alternative place where people that think that having root on and having control over your own phone is a good thing and won't get down voted for it. At least that was the point when I wrote th

Funny that the one post I made that pointed to my site has only gotten 1 down vote.

Yes I do know that. I didn't root my GF's phone because I wanted a stock phone around for doing testing when I do app development.

Watching my karma on this conversation has been interesting. It's gone from +10 above to -2 below what it was before. Must be a touchy subject.

Reply to untog: yes it's a plug for my site, deal with it. With all the meta-discussion lately about this site and how it's gone downhill, maybe I feel it's time to try and create a new one that lives a bit more up to the name Hacker. No

Yikes, one would think that a site called Hacker News would be a bit nicer to someone talking about enabling people through learning about technology. No wonder I started my own version: http://kruhft.dyndns.org

A program like RingGuard and VolumeLocker don't work in this case, where the phone case causes the volume buttons to get pressed unintentionally, causing the confirmation dialog to basically always be popping up all the time. This type of

Giving the ability to do system administration tasks on a device you own is not treating people like system administrators. It's giving someone the ability to work on, modify and learn about (and break (and fix)) their device if they so ch

Yes, I've tried a few for her, and they all don't work as advertised. She always wants the ringer on max, so I figured that I would see if there was a simple way to disable the buttons. Did it on my phone in about 5 minutes as a test (min

If you keep treating average users as average users they will always be...average users.

A non-rooted android is pretty useless. I was trying to find a way to disable the volume buttons on my GF's Nexus S, only to find that I with my rooted phone, could just edit a configuration file, but was completely unable to do it on he

More of a 'oops, wrong window'. I just thought I would try setting up news.arc on a virtual machine to use as a journal/blog and see where it goes. I am noticing that Hacker News topics are about 5-10% my interests so I thought I would ma

I think it's ironic that I was meaning to post this to my own Hacker News test site ( http://kruhft.dyndns.org ) and I posted it here by accident and it makes it to the front page!

That's unfortunate, but as I'm seeing through my own development and exploration, android is a lot less 'hacker' and a lot more 'consumer' than I originally thought it would be.

One thing that is missing is how to revert your working directory back to a tagged revision. Is that done with checkout?

But she's not complaining to FB, she's complaining to me and probably her friends. Word of mouth got FB started, and word of mouth will probably be it's death.

Yes, I would think that actually continuing to work on it you would find some better ways to work around it. Shell is still one of my favorite languages for textual data munging.

Life will continue as nothing of value was lost... As a side note, my GF is starting to complain about FB after being an avid user for years. 'My front page is full of ads for things I've liked'. The downhill (meteoric) decline is started
