Is Do you know who I am the dumbest thing you can say to a cop

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera was arrested in Florida under suspicion of driving under the influence and then resisting arrest in a non-violent fashion.

According to the police report they found Cabrera, 27, sitting on the side of the road in his car which had a smoking engine. When they approached the vehicle to question him he could have played it cool, but no. He swigged from a bottle of Scotch in front of them. Doh! Bad baseball player, bad!

Cabrera then went from dumb to prima-donna when he allegedly said to officers, Do you know who I am?"

Oh no, man. That is such a played out move.

I know you are a super star on the rise, dude, and I am from Detroit and a Tigers fan but unless you are Tiger Woods or Mel Gibson, I dont think that line works just yet. 

Here are 5 better things to say to a cop when you have found yourself in a compromising and very, very guilty-looking situation:

 

5. "Are you a baseball fan? Because if you are, Ive got six tickets to the World Series with your name on em."

4. "Officers, thank GOD you arrived. Ive been stranded for five days just like that old man in Arizona and when the windshield wiper fluid ran out, I had to sustain myself on Scotch."

3." I am so, so sorry. You see, in Detroit there are no laws."

2. "I have no idea what happened. I was hanging out with Charlie Sheen and then I just woke up here on the side of the road. Whered Charlie go?"

1. "Im still really, really broken up over Sparky Anderson and Ernie Harwell because they were legends and class-acts and I have really big shoes to fill if I am going to be part of the Tigers legacy and so I had a few drinks because Im young and its nerve-wracking. Can you blame me?"

The police might have taken it a little easier on you if you had said that.

Update: I was informed this is the Gnome 3 shell fall back mode which Ubuntu just now calls Gnome Classic.

Guide on How to Install a leaked Honeycomb on HTC flyer

From a news month ago that HTC spokesperson has confirmed the Honeycomb upgrade for HTC flyer will be made available as soon as possible after it releases. Its been little while ago since that report claimed. But now, you might probably already know, The Beta version of the Honeycomb for HTC Flyer has leaked a few days ago. Advance users already tested the said ROM even its been somewhat very complicated to install. The process reportedly tested and works on a Euro WWE 32 GB 3G Flyer and may also work with other variants but unconfirmly works well so far.

Heres a few screenshoots just for a brief details of what have we got to the the HTC Flyer Honeycomb update.

Important Things Needs to Consider Before Following this Guide:
* This process is recommended for experts only!
* This guide is only tested on a Euro WWE 32GB 3G Flyer - it may work on other configurations, but this is untested (id advise reading the topic to see if anyone has experimented with your configuration!)
* Anything you do from this point forward is at your own risk - my Flyer works and ive resurrected a couple of others, but I take no responsibility if it all goes horribly wrong. You COULD brick your tablet
* Do NOT under any circumstances run the RUU in its entirety nor fastboot flash rom.zip - this will make irreversible changes that you dont want!
* Be careful if you flash any RUUs or do anything that could revert you to S-ON on a broken system - this could leave you stuck
The installing process needs to ensure that you have an RUU that matches the ROM version of your HTC Flyer just a back up if anything went wrong and can roll back the process. You can follow the complete step by step installation guides from Paul of Android Modaco here on this thread.
