I like ripping apart their batch files.

Every once in a while they surprise you by doing something just differently enough to raise an eyebrow. Love it when that happens. (reading the code of others is what got me involved in this whole “Android” game in the first place)

(That word does get old quickly, doesn’t it?)

All I’m saying is you could have worded it better. The way you put it, everyone who used it was a “noob” (and of course, you didn’t use it; you used the command line!).

I would just greatly miss the awesome dev support and my unlimited data. I might be forced to lose that anyway, so the deal breaker for me would be if I could throw an AOSP ROM on that Note 2, that would be beastly.

See how I did that?

..and I didn’t call anyone a noob or claim the toolkits just made *more* noobs.

Hey, if you want to be a jackass, fine. That’s your deal. Just don’t get butt-hurt when someone calls you a jackass. That’s all.

” I’m a d*ck. ”

Well, at least you got that right.

“it is faster to just run the commands.”

Yes. Typing 8 commands in a console is so much faster than clicking one button. Sure. Could you be more absurd?

“Do you have an issue with other people’s opinions?”

Don’t you? Doesn’t everyone? Isn’t that why people discuss them on forums such as this? I don’t, as you may choose to believe, choose to argue with everyone who’s opinion differs from mine, but, when they put their opinion in such a way as to make it “fact” or set themselves above others? Yeah, I take issue.

Oh, and thanks for the English lesson. (You know, just in case anyone needed any more proof you were a pretentious pr*ck)

…and please show me where I said you claimed we should “take them away” as you stated in your reply above? (hint: you won’t find it)

All I actually claimed was that you came across like a self-centered, egotistical, superior, ass-hat…just in nicer terms. You then proceeded to prove the point succinctly. I’d thank you, but…

You are putting words in my mouth. Don’t you remember my luxurious Ivory Tower? I’m a d*ck. I’m “jumpy” because you are accusing me of falsities.

I did call it like I see it. Do you have an issue with other people’s opinions?

Honestly, if you have adb set up, it is faster to just run the commands. “Just” doesn’t leave much room for interpretation — that’s why I used it.

Oh, and by the way, I would assume that you did claim I said something, since we are conversing over something I said. Also, “who’s” is a contraction meaning “who is” — the correct term is “whose” — and then you made the same point twice, separating them by creating a new paragraph. Next time, you should group your exemplification with your statement.

Kind of a ‘give a man a fish, teach a man to fish’ kind of deal.

Call it like you see it, eh?

So really: How many ways do you think a person can take, “These toolkits just create noobs who have no idea how to fix their phones”??

I mean, “just” doesn’t leave much room for interpretation. These toolkits can do a bit more than create noobs.
