It is, if you're rooted. Install the Xposed framework, then install the Xprivacy module. Xprivacy allows you to tailor what permissions you'd like your apps to have, and then feeds them fake information if they request one you don't want them to have. For example, there's no easy way to turn off geolocation when…

Have to admit, I was excited for only a few seconds, and my excitement didn't diminish simply on finding it was nothing more than another remote desktop app. I ceased amusement when I thought "What would I use it for?" At this point, my desktop serves as a file server primarily. Everything I need to do, I can do on…

As someone else stated: leave. Now. You're young, you CAN change careers now, and now is the absolutely best time you're ever going to have to do so, before you have a house, before you have a family, before you have obligations. If you think it's tough and scary now, just imagine what it'll be like in 20 years…

This is a good idea. My company has a recognition program where employees can submit each other for good work, etc. For those occasions where I, and others, think I did a great, but unrecognized job, I've written my own recognition reviews and asked them to submit them on my behalf (with their being able to rewrite…

So, based on the number of replies, I'm guessing not a lot of people use this functionality? I've got the newest version of Nova, but have no interest at all in turning this feature on for the simple reason of I don't want to look like an idiot while using it. I guess I could see using it in the car while driving,…

It's certainly interesting, but I don't see it replacing Evernote for anytime soon. While I understand the risk of keeping some of my most important and sensitive data in a cloud service, I have to walk the line between usability and security. The benefits of using a service like Evernote far outweigh the potential…

Wow. You must live in one of those areas where the cost of living is so outrageously exaggerated that $50 for half a wooden box seems reasonable. :)

Okay, fine, you win. It's really pointless to bother with you. You're incapable of seeing the need for change, regardless of what the constitution or SCOTUS says. Neither of those speak for the world, hell they barely speak for America. It's fine, keep your point of view, but when your guns ARE taken away from…

"So one has to guarantee the government will abuse its power in order to justify saying it shouldn't have it? What a load of bunk! You guarantee the government can't and won't abuse its' power! You can't guarantee that, either."

What was the definition in 1787 when the Constitution was written? That would be the more relevant definition as it clue you in to what the authors of the second amendment meant when they wrote it.

It is when full extent of your "argument" is a single sentence and you manage to get it completely wrong. How fully clued into reality could you possibly be when you want to make the argument that people should revere a document, yet you've never actually read the whole document yourself, or at least bothered to have…

Wow. You, sir, are a prime example of the real problem in the US. Your ignorance is simply staggering in its expansiveness.

Except your paranoia prevents you from realizing that the examples cited from the past are not a guarantee of incorrect government behavior from all governments attempting to enact control of guns. For example, most first-world countries have some reasonable level of control on guns, yet all are a far cry from a…

Foldersync instead of OneDrive, Dropbox, Box.net, Google Drive, Bitcasa, ownCloud, SugarSync, Ubuntu One, a large number of other services I don't use, and a host of local file management utilities (plus, FTP, SFTP, local network SMB/CIFS, etc).

mySMS is still your choice. It has a webapp, but using mySMS requires you to be comfortable sending/receiving your SMS through their servers. Obviously, there's some security risk there, but I don't send anything interesting over text, so I don't really care.

This is just syncing notification of the SMS. For your tablet to reply to it, it would need the mechanism to do so, which it shouldn't if it's not on a cell network. Now, that being said, I swear by MySMS. It allows you to send/receive your SMS from any device.

The problem, I think, is it's not commonly going to be "hackers" attempting to access your phone, but the guy who stole it or your spouse. The latter's not likely to put a lot of effort into getting into it, they'll just flash and sell. Your spouse might put more effort into it, but if they don't know you've got…

Amen, brother! While in college, during my first CS class, we were being taught OO programming. After watching the first couple of examples, I asked "Those examples are EXTREMELY inefficient. You're using 100 lines of code to do something that could be accomplished in 3-4 in another language. Are we going to…

For most of the rest of us living in the industrialized world, email is fairly central to our lives. Your example of checking your email once a week is limited to you and a very small group of other Luddites. And, as another commenter pointed out, you don't have to set this rule, it's not the default, and no one…
