Probably the wrong forum for your post, but..... This will happen sooner or later. Only a violent revolt can change the direction of the usa.... We are already seeing that in the actions of the government towards private citizens.. But by all means; prolonging that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Pathetic.. The RIAA and MPAA are in the Titantic and it has been sinking for awhile now ($$$).. yet they want to try and suck all the water out of the ocean (internet).. in a last ditch effort to survive.
As far as those companies who initially supported SOPA and/or PIPA and later backed out under pressure.. you are not forgotten

Devs, the universe has come full circle, thank you!

So,
1. I know, wrong place to post this but if I get banned for thanking the devs, to hell with XDA anyway.
2. I like tech, so I'm reading the WP7 first impressions forum and...apparently Google is IE's default search engine...and it can't be changed! Our Fascinate crew De-Binged so f#*-ing hard that even WP7 felt that ish! Thanks guys...I thought this would bring that "I'm James Dean Cool," feeling to you!

To hell with us for wanting to keep the developers happy and keep development clean for developing? I can't believe you typed that and continued to hit post.
good day.
You're cranky bro. I actually knew you would be the first to post, and with your general, pseudo-parental diatribe. If this post compromises the integrity of this Dev. Forum then allow me to scoff at flame wars concerning where leaks come from. Flame, gas, set match.

guys, there is this little icon in the top right that does a "report post" ...
use it on posts like this that don't belong, our moderator is very responsive in moving things around. I think I'm the only person who uses it.
Moved to general as not development. Reporting posts helps us find and move them folks Triangle at the top right, with an exclamation point in it.
Hey hey hey,
No flame war, just a miscommunication over semantics.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mine just happens to be a bit more educated
Google.is the default and can't be changed? I find it difficult to believe that that was Microsoft's choice. It's most likely a carrier customization. There are no WP7 phones on Verizon until next year, but the way things look now, I can almost guarantee they will have Bing on them, not Google.

Sorry I was just saying. I got destroyed for starting a thread in the wrong forum to boost my post count so I could ask a question in devs forum. I guess TECHNICALLY I was in wrong forum. Like this thread some senior poster will say belongs in the off topic lounge. I think.

I'm serious but not in the way you think. I whole heartedly believe censorship is wrong. However we are kind of at the mercy of whomever owns the board we are posting on. I'm all for free speech as well as tolerance. But you can only have that between individuals on a personal neutral level. You can say anything you feel and it wont offend me. The moderators on the forum in charge of censoring are a different matter. If that makes sense.

Agreed but you and I both know the name of the game and that's moolah, cash, dollar dollar bill y'all. Facebook wants to sell ads. They can't sell ads to you if your on Google+, so they don't want anyone advertising it on their site. Its kind of incredible on Facebooks part. As if banning Google+ posts will make us all forget about it. Horrible PR decision on FBs part. But I'm also a fan of chaos and mutiny. So my view may or may not be reliable.

SO EXCITING. Support for almost all CM7 devices should mean our shifty is getting it!
TBH I think everyone already knows that the Cyanogenmod team is doing what they always do. So nothing new about this. Most people are just too lazy to follow the members on twitter or keep up with their tweets. It's nothing to get excited about yet. Who knows how long it is going to take them to get us a flashable update anyways. Could be this month, could be 4 months down the road, we just don't know. The point is don't get your hopes up and expect anything soon.

You know there are those of us who feel that we have worked very hard to build a great country for those of you who would slap us in the face with that logo you fly in your avatar. So carefeul who you point the lazy finger at ! Because it's my choice not to do what you do does not make me lazy! You are like some in your generation you paint with a broad brush. Have a great day ! :thumbdown:
Without them(developers) this place would not be called *Insert You Device Forum Name Here* but something else, e.g Mobile Phone & Tablet User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

Btw, thanks for sharing this Dread. Some people do other things than check Twitter and Google Plus all day so this is a very helpful thread, despite what the crap on everything twins have to say.

Of cause.. (In all caps as well) I bet the XDA servers will crash under the weight of people asking why XDA was down, then when it comes back, it will crash, and loop forever and ever

Funny enough being from the UK I don't recognise the US government, which means I don't recognise there laws, so therefore if this does get past I would recommend you move to a European host, and tell the US to go swivel. Tim Berners-Lee invented the internet (WWW), the Americans implemented it. however they certainly don't own the internet because of that, I think the US are over stepping there international boundaries with this idea, they have no right to this, hopefully this will stay in the US and everyone will just go international leaving the american internet dead.
the U need to stop protecting companies with outdated business model in the 21st century. Pirating will still happen as SOPA will only offline URLs not IP addresses, oddly enough i think Torrent users are quite aware of IP addresses... anyways...
Today is they day guys, let's hope for the best.

Always have and always will, can't agree with you more. Hopefully their citizens can knock some common sense to their government
Hi, I would like to help stop this evil SOPA and PIPA but as a UK resident I cant do anything, this bill would change the internet as we know it, and is yet another restriction of our personal freedom. I hope that it doesn't get passed. Hope Ron Paul is successful too.

NOT Another Goodbye Thread

Well its not... eh sort of just ordered my gnex today. Soo pretty soon here I will being jumping forums. Id just like to start an appreciation thread. I don't know if most people realize this but, this forum is in pristine organization. Looking at my new forum... it is SO unorginized so crowded, and people hardly get along. Here people collaborate, help, and inform. However we do have our flame wars.... but those are soon resolved. Also people here are very appreciative... I don't know how or what exactly I did to deserve 900+ thanks... but people sure do appreciate things. Anyways to wrap this up id just like to say thanks for the wonderful expierence with android and xda. Had it not been for the orginized and close-nit community we have here in the Epic 4g forum I would still be running an out-dated version of android or a bloated version.
Thanks
So here express what you are thankful for in this Community.

So far so good... was on stock for about 10 minutes then rooted and flashed a custom rom and kernel. I was a little upset when I thought I bricked it... but figuring out what I did wrong I was set up in no time.
