I live in downtown Denver, and get tickets all the freakin' time. They're not BS-parking-nazi-on-crack tickets, I just forget to pay my meter, and bam- $25 ticket.
So, if I read this correctly, if I use them to contest every ticket (even though I full-on deserved it):
1) Pay 50% deposit, so give them $12.50
2) Ticket gets upheld, because they look in the computer and see that I get tickets all the time (been booted several times). So, they refund my $12.50 + 10% ($2.50) = $15.00
3) I pay my $25 to the city, -$15.00 refunded, and bam I've reduced a $25.00 ticket to a $10.00 jusy by going online.
I guess the easier solution would just be to keep a roll of quarters in my car, but at that kind of discount, I can't afford NOT to get tickets!
I had verizon's 'unlimited' plan a while ago, and took it to be just that. After a month of remote desktoping, music and video dl-ing (some of which was even legal), I found that my service wasn't working anymore.
I called Verizon, who told me that they'd detected abuse, based on the fact that I'd gone over the usage limit (that I hadn't been told about) on my 'unlimited' account, and they summarily canceled my service.
At least they let me return the PC access card (still burned me with the restocking free, though).
I'm on AT$T's 'unlimited' plan now, but since I just use it with my blackberry, I can't imagine I'm in danger of going over. But, I bet their 'unlimited' plan is just like verizons....quite limited.

Seems like this could be abused pretty easily...

We should consider something like this..."
That's game. Blouses win.

I wonder if they considered the possibility that this is just the water from that other lake that mysteriously dried up recently?

Assuming you're in the united states, then you can keep your phone #. Number portability is a federally mandated requirement, IIRC.

The mouse traps, that was alwyas my favorite one. Chain reaction, baby!
Windows Mobile, because who ever said that only desktop devices should have to be hard-rebooted on a daily basis?
