That is a great idea (Free Fire Zone). Maybe limit new users (sub 5 posts) to using this FFZ?

Have someone monitor and dumb the solved threads, as you said, every few days!
It would be great!
All of these sub forums can be cleaned up and fixed back to the Nerd Haven.

Of course it could be done but no one was interested.
No no no, please, don't do that, sometimes valuable info may get lost and only I know how much info I got from what other people may have thought were pointless threads.
Please, don't do that.

What!? We're talking about something useful!? This is a rant thread!

Regarding the rant, my position remains the same: we all need to ask for help but there are ways and ways of saying things.

Regarding the FreeFire, really good idea. I have the same concerns as Temporal - how would useful stuff be saved? Pasting stuff to the wiki is slow hence expensive. And one person's junk is another's gold. I suppose condensing an hour's or day's worth of FreeFire posts/threads so it looks something like the bug report might be a plan? It would still exist but archived and tidy.

Uh oh, we might get something useful out of this rant!

I am in doubt, at the moment, whether we are lucky or unlucky the N900 can not shoot bullets, at least not in it's default configuration.

2 people. 2 phones. 2 /usr/ directories removed, all within 5 new threads.

yup.

not quite the same as installing Bumblebee and letting someone else do it for you.

just glanced at the number of people online when I signed on
and noticed TMO still has a lot of interest (1000+).

...wonder if we could derive a stat on what percentage (daily)
people brick their phones (via deleting system files etc),
and whether the difference is statistically meaningful
between the daily 'brickage' rate for N900, Android and Wp stuff...

I feel sorry for the two bricked N900. If they were second hand N900 I'd feel even more sorry for their current owner is even less clueless than their previous owners.

They're not 'bricked' at all.

They just had some essential files removed, which are easy to replace with a re-flash.

Exactly the same happens when you delete your c:\windows directory - you just need to reinstall windows - it won't turn your PC into a "brick"

I'm sure it's b/c school's out as well - people with a sudden increase in time on their hands. "Is there any codec .DAT file"
Unfortunately, this increase in crassness is about to be compounded by what appears to be an imminent release of a new version of an-/nit-droid. Let the fun commence!
