Let's just be thankful that we don't have ssh enabled for a rick roll, like on iphone. 
Again, I'm still investigating a lot, and I've been around linux systems since the 80's, and do this isht for a living, as in compiling kernels/programs.
IDE is more java based, but a native level c program with all the bells and whistles is what we need more than rooting |
Totally sorry for being an ass... But Linux wasn't around in the 80's at all.. I've used it since 98, and it started in 91.. I run slackware which has been around since shortly after it's birth... Being able to log into root is not doing anything more then being able to control your phone like it's yours... Messing with the droid now, i feel a bit like logging into the libraries computer.. I can pull up a terminal but I'm not able to most of the things that i take for granted on my computer at home.. even though it's running the same kernel... and the commands are there.. they are just locked out...
The bottom line is.. we should be able to use our products that we pay a lot of money for... So that guy that acted like it was some sort of horrible thing that we would want to do this.. is talking out of total ignorance... and shouldn't spread his ignorance around..
