Dear "editors"

When you write "the nation dies", with the singular conjugation for the verb "die", you're implying dying of the nation as a collective entity.

AT&T

On: Ask Slashdot: Best Cell Phone Carrier In the US?

Let me simplify this.

Go with t-mobile.

T-mobile coverage sucks where you live? Well, then you're stuck with Verizon (or whoever else is around).

What about AT&T you ask? Let me tell you. If you're a person who never had to deal with AT&T, you're one lucky lifeform. I'm not so lucky. I pay twice the AT&T advertised rate to the monopoly cable ISP for my home just so that I won't have to deal with AT&T.

Sprint, I don't know about.
