Custom themes have been in cydia forever and they are indeed mostly terrible. I would however be shocked to find that Apple was allowing third parties to install apps that couldn't be removed like is happening with Android phones on Verizon

I think what Andrew ended his post with was really the point: "I'd love to meet one who fits the intended description, but I imagine the real hustlers avoid the label. I certainly would - if only to avoid being associated with the rest." I

Hustler both describes enterprising go getters and sleaze ball unscrupulous jerks. The problem is which meaning is more prevalent. I can't think of a single person I would describe with the word hustler and mean it in a positive way. I also

Thanks for the follow up jedberg, I was just guessing based on what has been publicly stated in the various blog posts over the last year or two. I used the same process for my own s3 -> ebs boot volume migration. That took a few weeks

Being that EBS booting only became an option in December 2009 I would not be surprised if Reddit had not migrated their instances to that boot/storage method. They acknowledged in the last two years they hadn't even had time to move one of

I didn't suggest that the government should be involved I just wanted to point out that it's a lot more than taxes. The problem is that the government is already involved and so at the very least we should allow all couples the ability to e

While this is pretty good advice you also have to be prepared for your co-founder to act irrationally. I went through something similar many years ago. After a long discussion we decided to find a way for the company to buy back my shares a
