I agree that ironically he has done million times better with his rant even when it got to such bad level when comparing to other ranters here.

Am I missing something?

Never mind, it's in the rant.

Wow. I'm not even gonna dignify it. But I am stunned. I remember complimenting him once on his apparent maturity. Oops.

Oh, and I don't fear any danger, because you can't judge someone on a moment of anger, but on some year's (virtual) knowledge. And I trust him.
thats somewhat good to know. I thought I saw mention of it being intrusive.. Glad to know the app is at least (mostly) unmolested.

Thats probably best...nothing good can come of it and like I said.. definitely one of the parts in there I believe him to be grossly innacurate.

Sorry to have clued you in to that... Ignorance is bliss in some situation I think..

Feh. Too old to give a crap over some adolescent's angst. Dealt with worse, mainly by people who have the fortitude to do it in person.

Works nicely for me. You have to half press the shutter button AND press the volume button, up (next track) or down (previous track).

working OK for me too. Big thanks to querty12 for the parting gift - shame on you, Nokia for not providing such a useful feature out of the box.

I just installed it 5 minutes ago and I didn't see any rant either during or after install. I downloaded the deb to my phone and installed by clicking on it in file manager. So it's either time dependant or slightly broken.

Don't reply to him, just help him out. Google seems to have indexed only the first post so far. Delete this thread before worse damage is done.

Qwerty: you DO NOT want future employers to find this thread. I don't care how petty you think they would be for not hiring you - it's a real risk to your career. Patch your binary and replace the rant with something more moderate. People probably won't dig any deeper than that.
