this isnt off topic.. this is 100percent a related topic though, and should derserve its due place in a discussiion forum.. off topic is for:This is where to post off topic subjects and everything not related to pda/ppcs..

this relates to ppcs..

and i dont really wanna fight with ya BD.. but the reason the ROM topic was tried to be so avoided by myself, is bacause this was originally raised as how is reg editinging pay to play software, to obtain free use of it, not considered warez...

i look at like you cant BUY a new ROM, Radio, you cant buy an app that allows you to change tf3d things.. therefore were not avioding a payment system in place to obtain those roms and radios and things

warez is about the lack of the transfer of money, where money is due.. i thought.. but
and we are indeeed hacking a paid software feature for its free use...

i just dont understand how both arent "hacking" software... thats intended to be paid for and maliciously using a work around, to obatin the service for free..

isnt the def of warez, obtaining the use of paid software for free?? if its not, the zero tolerance rules do state that even though it may not be a warez subject, if we even talk about getting paid software for free it will not be tolerated and we will be banned??


i just dont see why this isnt the same

Should not ALL discussion about any edits, programs, or activities that change the phone being banned and deleted? Are we not all guilty of (illegally) modifying our phones by changing the registry? Are we wrong for wanting to improve our phones? Should we all not be banned for wanting to change our phones like so, since it is voiding the licensing agreement with Microsoft? Mike should be sent to jail then! And Coz? Throw him in a Mexican prison, for he is guilty? What about Juggalo_X, Conflippers, Hibby, etc. that create custom ROM's? All that should be removed from this site then too! Heck, we should all buy non-smart phones, since the ability to "cheat" the system is much less a possibility? Wait... Why not we all use 2 can's and a shoe string to communicate with each other?

And this is on topic, Mr. Crazy, since I am discussing the "illegal posting of warez-like stuff" on this site..

At least move this to the off-topic forum.. Watch and see how many less posts are added to this...

what did i cheat and steal there, my asurion replecments came wwith white spots, a manufacturer defect in the design... what did i do wrong... sprints who offered me all the goodies.. #330842404 thats th badge id of the esca;ations supervisor that gave me all my freebies.. i just wanted another mogul, thats all...i didnt even want a TP.. all i wanted was what asurions contract promised me, the same phone, or a comparable replacement..

you could brng up the thread where i was trying to sell the NIB TP in trade for a mogul and a few bucks.. def showing i wasnt lookin for handout or upgrades just what was suppose to be supplied to me.. sprint made their own decisions on how to handle my issues, not me..

i just dont see why this isnt the same

I know. It's kinda sad really, because it is completely different.

One is a software, the other is a service. See the difference between software and service? Note, they are different words, with a long and unambiguous difference in meaning. At no time in history has "service" ever meant, or been a synonym for "software".

And yet you cannot grasp this difference.

It's kinda depressing.

Hey, just for fun, do you tether? Do you have a PAM plan? How often do you tether? As a % of your data use in a month, how much would you say is tethering?

Me, I don't. I hooked the TP up and verified it worked, because in a emergency should I somehow find myself somewhere in the universe where I had to do something with the internet that I could not do ON my phone, but that I just HAD to do right away, then I would do it. But I never seem to find myself there. So...

I have tethered 2 times in the past 4 weeks, for about 3 minutes. I ran a speed test. It represented .01% of my total data use for that plan period. (1 time 4 weeks ago, 1 time earlier today to verify that nothing changed due to this topic)

How about you?

wow. i thought you guys would be finished hours ago but you're still going strong.

For the answer on the Poptart question, head here. I happen to agree.

And please move this to the Off-topic forum. Better yet, is there anyway the mods could create a "Let's start an argument that can't be answered" forum? I believe that would be the perfect place for this thread.

And FYI... brown sugar cinnamon. The best 400 calories you will ever eat (600 with a glass of whole milk. Yum!)
