I started with XM back when O&A first started on there. I never really listened to talk radio but I found their show to be really really funny. Eventually I stopped paying for XM, and now I have Sirius in my new Ford. Howard's show is great too. I miss O&A but I'd like to have both.
I've still yet to figure out how I can get things like "Bam, Pow, Biff, Boom" to pop out in the air when I hit people. I think that would require more training than anything else.
Familiar with Oklo? It was a natural nuclear reactor formed underground in Africa. Its waste has been held in place (within 10 feet) underground for over 2 billion years. No one needed to warn us about that...
If you wanted to get really technical, doesn't it actually cost the mobile phone company ZERO dollars to send/receive text messages.
Aren't texts transmitted within the Mobile Application Part of SS7 which exists in every single packet sent to/from your phone for things like roaming information, call routing, etc.
By putting a text message in this protocol and sending it to your phone, it does not cost a cent more than not sending it, does it not?
As an engineering student I realized right away the idiotic amount of money I could end up dropping on text books.
I've found buying paperback international editions from websites such as abebooks.com is extremely cost effective. I can buy a 170 dollar book for 11 bucks plus 15 dollars shipping.
Every semester these books change, rendering my purchases worthless. If I can do without a book, I'll do without it. If I can't, I'll buy from India. I can't believe how many peple just sit around and pay these obscene prices.

I'll be interested to see how this works out...
I've heard Corona very closely mimics the behavior of seawater. I personally pledge to begin extensive testing with these materials.
