I have a hard time believing that the DOJ can not crack the iPhone. They are either full of shit or actually telling the truth. I can only assume it is a little bit of both.
Have they not spoken with the hackers that discovered Jailbreaking? They are well known and can be reached rather easily.
Even though I own a few MacBook Pros, I have never wanted to own an 'i' product. However, if the DOJ is this fucking stupid then maybe an iPhone is in my future.
indicating a bandwidth without telling the customer to divide by 8 (as in megabits vs megabytes).
While we are at it, let's jump the storage manufacturers for doing the same.
Just to add...
I do have to agree with getting what you pay for OR at least getting advertised speeds. I test the speed about once, maybe twice a week and I usually get over the 35/35 at 42/38.
When I was at Suddenlink(CABLE) in Tyler or Time Warner(CABLE) here in Dallas, they were slower and even less reliable. time Warner went out about every night for 3 hrs and the 15/2 was more like 12/768k off peak. Suddenlink never went down, but the 10/1 they had was 9/512k off peak
I should be going to that speed soon. I am currently on 35/35 and even with that speed a DVD quality movie only takes about 10min. They are making us Texas customers wait for the good stuff. They have been out in this area for 4yrs now and are building out like crazy all over the place. I hope that speed comes soon.:D
Insurance companies?
I pay outrageous premiums then someone backs into my bumper and causes a small dent. I want this dent fixed so I call my insurance to file a claim and they pull a bitch fit because they have to pay 300$(US) for the dent. Then they demand I pay the 500$ deductible and my rates go up. SO, instead I say 'fuck off' to the insurance company and then pay the 300$ myself to get the dent fixed.
Verizon FiOS isn't doing it...yet. I don't D/L all that often, but I did a few days ago and was not throttled. I can get up to 5.1MB down, but I usually get only 2-3MB on torrents anyway. I have not noticed a change.
I found that blowing in them softly with hot breath actually worked better than just blowing in them. I also believe that it was the blowing in them that worked and not just reinserting them because the connectors were bent out of shape. I agree that this would happen years and years down the line, but I bought a brand new NES a few years after my first one and it had the same problem. Blowing in the game resolved that issue.
...or when a security hole comes up, aside from it being Adobe or Java; isn't it a hole found by compromising the OS itself? This may be desktop/laptop only, but in my experience, when a flaw is discovered, it is usually the OS that is compromised and not a separate program. Yes, I am aware that there have been programs out there that are exploited. I am just saying that MOST of the time it is the OS. By most of the time, I mean like 90% or more. I could be wrong...correct me if I am.
"Plus, there are an estimated 1,400 species that are edible to man."
Edible doesn't mean tasty. I am open to the idea as I eat spiders in my sleep, but there are some that don't look to tempting and I would most likely get very hungry before eating one.
I like that term as well: 'mini-livestock' I think it will stick hahaha
I think we can make the switch, but I am sure it will be the pussy switch just like Vegetarians. Open up there freezer and what do you see? Veggie-BURGER, meat substituted STEAK and all other kinds of crap that are vegetable based, but looks and tastes like meat. And the therapist said "I" was in denial?
I have watched enough SpongeBob to at least try them. SpongeBob has wet dreams about them. I have only had wet dreams about girls. Krabby Patties just HAVE to be damn good if they are giving boners.
I have managed to ditch fast food for the last 3yrs, lost some weight and don't miss it one bit.
However, I am a carnivore and I will not give up my Chicken, red meat and the occasional Pork item(usually bacon or sausage).
Using a lame password was also the problem. I am not sure if it was on/. too, but I saw it on another news site where they showed the passwords. I think it was more than 80% of the passwords used were dictionary words and weren't even m0dif1ed.
i think what he is going at is that it doesn't matter how wrong or bat shit a religious person is because they think they are always right and it doesn't matter how stupid or wrong they are because "God loves them no matter what."
That is because when people are online they can be dicks without the threat of getting punched in the face. As Rosco said, "anonymously."
It is the bigger pussies face to face that are the bigger dicks online. Those people that go of on some psychotic tangent online would shy away and avoid such a situation in public, because they would get their asses kicked and possibly pushed into oncoming traffic.
No, I think it means that people are going to generally be nice and say good job when you did actually suck. Therefore making you overconfident.
This is why i always speak the truth, no matter how blunt.
That is where the phrase, "Honesty doesn't always win friends, but it influences people." comes from.....I think
yup, I kind of see patches and other developments coming very slowly to glitchy software. No where does it say how fast they have to code and release patches. i see problems ahead. Usually the bully picks on the kid too hard and the kid comes back and shoots up the whole school....eh, bad analogy

Very true. What is that phrase?

Shall I start in on the medical insurance?
How about the pharmaceutical companies?
How about the food industry?
Are you sure ISP are the only ones like this?
You are thinking of Verizon Wireless and their Unlimited data subscribers.

I wonder when our nations checks are going to bounce. We keep writing them, but they aren't worth a dime. I want a check book like that.
excellent use of the word THERE...

pffft, it was invented before Jesus when God was blaming Satan for everything evil going on.

HA! Indeed, if I had mod points I would too.
I have watched enough SpongeBob to at least try them. SpongeBob has wet dreams about them. I have only had wet dreams about girls. Krabby Patties just HAVE to be damn good if they are giving boners.

either way they are still watching missiles :/

Why did anyone think this was going to be a good stock?
I assume none of the share buyers or anyone that was involved ever had or seen a FB account.
