According to Cingular it 'will deliver mobile users data at rates of up to 470,000 bits a second -- fast enough to watch video clips over phones.'" I just hope it doesn't mean that we have to see more annoying Cingular commercials. But I want my video cell phone!

    my true love bought for me:

    five video cell-phones
    four sega dreamcasts
    three thinkgeek shirts
    two copys of The Hobbit*
    and 2.4.15 on a CD

    *One copy to read, another to keep under the mousepad for luck.

    i've made about 20 posts in the last two hours... slow day at work... this is a short off-topic rant about the moderation scheme.

    moderation total:
    offtopic 1
    funny 3
    overrated 1
    underrated 1
    total score (3, offtopic)

    i just don't get it, how is off-topic the relevant feature here?

    not that i'm really complaining, I would have modded this post (-1, stupid/not funny). I'm just confused
