Since I have a coverage plan with them, I can't root without violating my coverage plan.
*blink* Never heard of that.
I'll look at that flashlight app.
-
blink Never heard of that.
yeah. that bullshit is a thing that happens with major carriers over here.
it's one of the reasons i moved to just buying the phone outright and getting a month to month contract.
-
over here.
We're in the same country! As far as I always knew, rooting your phone on the big 4 just voids the phone's warranty.
-
Rooting voids the warranty regardless; the warrantry is provided by the manufacturer
-
hmm... whoops. thought you were farther north for some reason.
my bad!
and as far as iu can tell the big 4 have always had it that rooting voids your warranty and also voids your coverage.
at least in so far as if you complain about lack of coverage they're going to blame your rooted phone and insist you replace it at your expense before dealing with your coverage issues.
might not be written in the contract, but that's def what they'll do to you if you try to get tech support with a rooted phone.

:notsureif.meme:
I guess I need my avatar re-shopped to put a cowboy hat on it instead of a top hat.
-
notsureif.meme
not meme, just me going "frost = canada" and completely blanking on past conversations that put you in southern US (texas if memory serves correctly)
-
not meme
I was referencing the meme because I was too lazy to look up the frystare picture.
ust me going "frost = canada"
Yeah, that's the kind of frost that is hard water. I avoid that except in my drinks.
texas if memory serves correctly
Yes. Dallas, specifically.
I just noticed that the mustache on my avatar is above its nose. I see why it was done that way, but it's a bit weird.
-
-
sorry.
Meh, it's not like I was offended--it's only Canada. Now if you thought I was in Greenland or something, whoa nelly, we'd be having some trouble.
-
Hey, they can at least argue competently that unlocking my phone actually damages it (it blows a fuse)
-
blink Never heard of that.
It's part of TMobile's JUMP! program. Which is nice, since i don't pay extra (except for the jump program fee) and once the phone is half paid off, I can trade up with the remaining balance eliminated.
-

Get to the hatting thread with a base image post haste!
-

Oh, right, that bullshit.
So my anti-celebration is that I was going through some old email and found an invite to buy a OnePlus One in November. :( Of course I was on Sprint, so it wouldn't have done me any good anyway.
-
Celebrating the flattening of the org chart that makes me now report to a director since my boss got stolen into another part of the company. No promotion or raise or direct reports or anything, just there's no managers in between now.
-
Rooting voids the warranty regardless; the warrantry is provided by the manufacturer
That's why I love having a phone that was rooted by the manufacturer.
Their slogan is "If you can't open it, you don't own it"
-
Hooray! Lab meat might be available at decent costs in a decade or two.

That damned Marzipan Girl at the Silver Lake Lounge...

And now it appears to be a useful site; was great for demonstrating that the recent cootiestorm (kicked off around 19:11 GMT, lasted around 10 minutes) wasn't just my ISP being a bunch of asses. :)
I suggest you proceed to the Thread of Celebratory Cupcakes forthwith!
=D

M-M-M-M-MEGALIKE!
Think Unreal Tournament announcer? ... no?
-
And you all have me to thank for the fact it says
1.0M
and not1000.0K
;)So yeah, I 'm celebrating seeing my code live and working :)
-
-
Well, yeah, but still, I always enjoy seeing my code doing its job :)

Getting older again ...

Getting older again ...
Birthday?
Also, given the attitude not sure if I should congratulate, try to comfort, or remain indifferent.
-
Getting older again ...
Somewhere, there's a picture of you getting younger…I'm not helping, am I?

Birthday?

That's easy enough to figure out.
- What are your feelings about lawns?
- Do you own a cane?
- What do you do when you see children on a grassy field?
-
I rather hope I'll be able to be more like this:
And then I will get stabbed to death and fade away into obscurity as a thank you. Ungrateful little brat. Should never had let him stay on my lawn.
-
FTFY And @boomzilla, and anyone else who needs it
-
Good, good.
I feel we're missing something still. We need a version that involves lawns. However, I currently lack the necessary snark to make it funny.

Indeed.

I could 'shop in a lawn, but that seems like more than the minute or so's "work" this took, so….
-
FTFY And @boomzilla, and anyone else who needs it
Sweet. Thanks for the new profile background.

I was thinking more of the text involving a lawn.
-
Sweet. Thanks for the new profile background.
Well, shit. I guess I should've signed that.

why would i need a lockpick, and a single hook at that?
I mean it's not even got a torsion wrench and i've already got a professional quality set in the car, as well as a mini credit card set in my purse.
[spoiler]I've also got an excellent ashwood cane. Not because i need one, but because it's handy for using to shout at people to get off my lawn[/spoiler]

-
If @onyx was the old man, wouldn't he give Link a crowbar?
-
Careful now. That's a high opinion of my level of generosity there.
Crowbars are very special to me, mkay?
-
a lockpick,
It's fascinating that your first thought is of a criminal implement is all I'm going to say.
-
What else do you expect from a mistress of the cunning and mischievous? ;)
-
-
Buh? How do you get there from lockpick?
- by tweaking the fox
- because in many jurisdictions, the police consider them to be such. I don't, but see point 1.
