WTF?

WOT anyone? I use it to check all links and don't bother with the red ones.

More Tea Vicar?

I guess someone is having to eat a lot of biscuits.

I can't help wonder why they don't build SCIFs and the like. Something proven to block the outside world.

WTF?

I got one of these calls...

I was so excited, I never get these kinds of scammers calling me.

He had a thick Indian accent and I'd just got home from a business trip.

He told me he was calling from " The International Internet Router Team". He told me it was showing that I had slow internet speeds.

I played along with the dumb idiot and started with the "Oh, it has been slow" bit. Then after a few moments I asked where he was calling from again. He told me then "BT, TalkTalk or one of them".

I was up for a laugh, and asked which one. He sounded confused and then hung up.

People need to read

You can install Gingerbread without Sense and have no issues.

To install Gingerbread with Sense you need an EXT3/4 partition, as there is no room for apps.

If HTC release with Sense, they might require a section of your memory card been used for ALL apps or more likely they will strip out much of Sense.

EXT4

Your ext3/4 partition is what you're missing. Try using it without your memory card to hold ALL your apps.

Also S-OFF your Desire and you can change the partition tables.

Sense 2.1 and Gingerbread

For those who are saying they are running Gingerbread with Sense 2.1 witch such ROMs as RCMix.

Remember you have to have an EXT3/4 partition on your memory card. Without this it would be unusable.

XP

Simple fact is that XP is too old. It was designed for an age before multiple cores were a common thing, before virtualisation was our friend.

Next argument will be about upgrading away from IE6.

If you want to use new services, expect to need new systems.

"NASA boffins, staring into the Sun..."

Every 5 year old knows not to stare directly into the Sun.

The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

I've had several guys add me on BBM randomly and ask if I'm a girl. Strangely they all delete themselves when I say "not anymore".

Spam is alive and well in the propriety IM world.

This is news?

A half functional port of 3.1 is news? What about the works of RCTeam to port Sense 3.0 to the Desire HD? A phone that is HTC's Flagship only to be told it won't have the next iteration of Sense.

I do look daft

Just read the email from Dan where he says to read the article again.

Mine's the one with my glasses in the pocket.

The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

Are they making this change server side or client side? I would presume this would be server side, as there are just too many variables to consider client side.

Paris, because there is no Google icon.

Food?

That looks like vomit. I actually think I'd die if I was near it.

Wet Email

If I put my email in "The Cloud" will it get wet?

Mine's the one with the hood, to keep me dry.

Titles are people too

"the device connects to them by default" really?

Shock Horror!

I guess Wireless really isn't secure.

Paris, as her phone always leaks "personal" information.

Titles are pointless

If I delete the app from data/app or system/app will the button stop working? I assume I can map it to something else. This could lead to some amusing apps that remap the button.

Mine's the one with the HTC Desire HD running RCMix Kingdom v0.1 with Sense 3.0 with a Facebook button on the home screen.

Bootloader

Both the Desire and the Desire HD have S-ON. In both instances the protection has been broken and engineering bootloaders have been flashed to my handsets.

There is a great number of people who want to crack this, so just wait.

Paper?

Books? They still have those. I thought they were all destroyed.

Mine's the one with the kindle in the pocket.
