Samsung Galaxy S III Review (The Verge) by qakgobin Android

[–]metamatic 11 points12 points ago

The problem with rooting is you end up rewarding the manufacturers for crapping up the phones.

I'd rather have a phone that's 6 months old (the horror!) and not reward Samsung or HTC for locking bootloaders and not delivering upgrades.

If you care about getting OS updates, get a Nexus.

What "amazing fact" or colloquialism do you know is actually wrong, and you're sick of correcting people about it? by TestZeroin AskReddit

[–]metamatic 0 points1 point ago

I get similarly upset when I see the sizes of cages people buy to keep parakeets in.

I mean, if you're going to keep a parakeet caged up all day, then first off, buy two because they're flock animals. And then buy a big cage so they can fly back and forth. But ideally don't keep them in the cage.

[–]metamatic 0 points1 point ago

I think that he should make sure that the fact there's a special protocol for pull requests is mentioned on the front page of the GitHub project.

The Linux kernel has documentation explaining precisely how to issue a pull request.

Where? I went looking for it, and didn't see it in any obvious place in the Documentation directory or the README.

What if a command central to my workflow is suddenly inactive or works differently?

You revert to the previous version. Git's a version control system. :-)

Does anyone know of an alarm clock that can play MP3's but doesn't need an iphone/ipad by RedRedWizin gadgets

[–]metamatic 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I got the dock for my Galaxy Nexus and it's awesome.

[–]metamatic -1 points0 points ago

Fault tolerance is my main reason for doing this.. not necessarily a backup solution. My current setup is a single 2TB drive in a single machine.. and I'm worried about if when it fails, I will lose everything.

Make your mind up.

[–]metamatic 0 points1 point ago

Well, I think having multiple exit points throughout the code is far worse than using a label to abort processing and jump to the exit.

So, here we are.
