(just thought we needed something like this if some of us don't want to venture out into the main forum, by the way, do we already have a thread like this? Sorry if we do)



iPhone jailbreaking (and all cell phone unlocking) made legal

Owners of iPhones and other smartphones are one step closer towards taking complete control of their gadgets, thanks to a new government ruling Monday on the practice of "jailbreaking."

This weekend has seen a flurry of activity about digital rights, but the biggest news dropped Monday morning, when the FCC announced that it had made the controversial practice of “jailbreaking” your iPhone — or any other cell phone — legal.

Jailbreaking — the practice of unlocking a phone (and particularly an iPhone) so it can be used on another network and/or run other applications than those approved by Apple — has technically been illegal for years. Most jailbroken phones are used on the U.S. T-Mobile network or on overseas carriers, or are used to run applications that Apple refuses to sell, such as Safari ad-blocking apps, alternate keyboard layouts, or programs that change the interface to the iPhone's SMS system and the way its icons are laid out.

While technically illegal, no one has been sued or prosecuted for the practice. (Apple does seriously frown on the practice, and jailbreaking your phone will still void your warranty.) It’s estimated that more than a million iPhone owners have jailbroken their handsets.

Apple fought hard against the legalization, arguing that jailbreaking was a form of copyright violation. The FCC disagreed, saying that jailbreaking merely enhanced the inter-operability of the phone, and was thus legitimate under fair-use rules.

The upshot is that now anyone can jailbreak or otherwise unlock any cell phone without fear of legal penalties, whether you want to install unsupported applications or switch to another cellular carrier. Cell phone companies are of course still free to make it difficult for you to do this — and your warranty will probably still be voided if you do — but at least you won’t be fined or imprisoned if you jailbreak a handset.

EXACTLY THIS x infinity

I am going to look for an internship so I will have a better idea of what master degree I should pick :sobbing:

Guys, you know I have to pick a master degree BY FUCKING FEBRUARY ???!!!??? NOOOOOOOOOOO :( :( :( :( Oh god, when I am thinking about it like deeply, it makes me nervous as hell............

whatever . Aren't you a sciences major ?

@BlueTrees : you don't know what interests you? Like... working with people? in a class ? teaching things you know ? writing some boring stuff ? counting some boring stuff too?
what were you excelling the most at ? if you don't know what might interest you, then you should go in a field in which you had great grades and where you feel confident and sure of yourself. A sickinengly shy dude is not gonna be a teacher for instance. Someone who had uber bad grades in sports is not gonna be a sports teacher or a coach fitness or something.

Well I have an advice : find a job that you won't hate. Yeah. That's the most important.
Even if you are all "blah/whatever" , at least at the end of the day, you are happy to be home with more $$$ and you are like "it's not that bad, it's a cool place to be, not thrilling, but at least I have a job in which I am not that bad, and I am not that useless"

OTOH if you just hate your job, welp, you might be completely depressed tbh. It's just awful to go to work everyday when you utterly hate your job. No goal at all. You can't even feel relieved when you get money because you are just so unhappy.

But I also believe you should choose a field where you could have many perspectives of career. That's also very good, so you won't be locked in the same kind of tasks all your life.

Should I try? Ummm... I will try this for Paris. :cheer: I will settle there so I should try that one.

:lol: Yes, Jamie was annoying.

But Naley themselves were the heart of OTH for me, pure and simple. Especially after Lucas and Peyton left and the annoying, retarded ass newbies joined that no one gives a fuck about (Clay, Quinn, Alex, Chase, etc). They were pretty much the only thing that reminded me of the GOOD OTH AKA the high school years. Not to mention they were perfect.
Awww such a stan :inlove:
I have no idea who Clay, Quinn etc are . :sobbing: I stopped watching OTOH after like .. 6 seasons?

just know that it's okay to make mistakes. Like if u pick something but u end up not liking it, don't regret it. just make sure u don't let anyone push you around ever. because evne tho my parents pushed me into pharmacy, personally i don't regret trying it out for first year because i know for sure that it isn't for me even tho the money is good, but i do regret doing it for one more year than i intended to.

i guess what i'm saying is evne if u pick something and find out u don't like it next year, u would at least know that it's not for u.

woteva i'm gonna go for a run now, i kinda need it this is so depressing fml
