You didn't back up? That's your fault lol...
Before you blend it, can you ship it of to me, then burn up an empty box in its place?

I was talking about the super admin.

It might work like that but regular admin on Windows has a little too much power...
 
I can take ownership of any system file I want and delete it from my administrator account, even the important ones.

I can't get into CWM recovery so I'm having to reflash to the stock kernel and bootloader. All because the stupid device always auto boots into a broken cyangenmod.

That's why you try to make backups to your computer.

It's backed up, but I can't put it back on the device...
 
I may end up buying a surface tablet.

What? Forced injection doesn't work?
 
Try having your computer read it like a mass storage device, format it, and then reinstall stuff. No idea if that works.

Hipsters shouldn't know what arch linux is. Hipsters shouldn't know Linux. And if they do, they should only know Ubuntu because that's how much hipsters can annoy me.
 
But yeah, you can probably tell I don't like this guy too much but meh.
 
Install is a bit difficult even with the help of the Beginner's Guide sometimes but you do have to realize it wasn't meant for beginners.
 
That and half of the errors I encountered were because I was running it in a virtual machine. My laptop simply wouldn't take it anymore at one point and the virtual machine froze so I had to force it to shut off the machine and then I deleted it since it was obvious I wouldn't be able to run it.

I can tell you don't.

Linux is secure. Do you know how linux works in that respect?
 
As far as I remember all of the important stuff is in the root "account" (which is why you should never use "root" as your main account on linux) which is separated from the rest of the accounts, whether it be user or admin. This basically locks away all of the important, critical stuff so it can't be tampered with. When you use an account other than root, it can only access those files and read them. If a virus were to infect your computer (through any account but root), the amount of damage it can do is limited. There's a write-up on this somewhere on OCN.
Yes indeed. Command-line interface ftw.
 
Thinkgeek has a Linux cheat sheet shirt with most of the major commands.
I'm not even going to bother to look.

It doesn't matter what is more secure.
Using an unsuported computer could introduce risks into the system. This isn't a big deal for schools but for companies it is. Standardized systems.
 
I use cheat sheets a lot

Time to buy new ram

So open source community equals no support?
 
What has this world come to?
 
Actually, I think Canonical sort of works for support...do they? Or do they just provide funding? I never really bothered to find out.
 
And do you realize how many companies run servers that run linux?

WHAT?! 20k yen isn't even that much!! (like only the cost 2VNs or BD boxes.)
I'd buy it for 20k if I had a turntable and stable income.

Nexus 7 root toolkit. Lets you boot into any kernel you want off your computer
Pretty sure you can also reflash your recovery and force boot into that.
