    And if it costs £10/hr to listen to a conversation, that amounts to about 40 hours of conversation per person per year (assuming no foreign calls). Not bad, but what about the terrorist plans that someone doesn't mention until the 41st hour?

    £10/hr to listen to a conversation? Why I bet they could outsource that to Pakistan for £4/hr!

    Perhaps instead of spying on UK citizens, the government should have spent a few quid keeping a closer eye on the respectable financial institutions whose irresponsible behaviour has caused the sort of damage to the economy that terrorists can only dream about...

    Maybe it was the terrorists!?

    and the argument about saving yourself from a rogue government seems completely lost now. You can't. They have bigger guns. Oh, and nukes. Which is crazy - right?

    Big guns don't mean much in a guerrilla war. See: Iraq, Vietnam, Cuba, Afghanistan (vs the Russians). If we can't easily subdue the Iraqis how do you expect us to subdue our own brothers?

    You can with a car, too. In fact, especially if you don't know how. Let's ban cars!

    Or maybe we could require anyone who wants to operate a car to pass some kind of test and medical exam first. Regulate drivers, with something like a driving license, or something ?

    You're right, the government is licensing ordinary citizens to wield deadly weapons with the potential for mass destruction. This must be stopped at all costs. Think of the children.

  19. Net 10 - .10 / minute on AT&T Buries ToS Changes In 2500-Page Guide · · Score: 1

    Net 10 (same company as tracfone) .10 cents a minute and .05 text messages. (compared to the .20 text messages I have through tmobile now)
     
    Net 10 usually sells phones on their website with 300 minutes for $20 (plus taxes and shipping, buy more save more) which works out to less than $.10 a minute. Then when you get low on minutes, order a new phone, call them and transfer your number and minutes to the new phone + another 300 minutes. Takes about 10 - 15 minutes. Minutes last 60 days, and when you add new minutes you get to rollover the old ones.
     
    This is the absolute cheapest pre-paid phone plan there is. Others are .20 to .25 a minute. The only reason I switched to tmobile was because I could get email ($10 a month), and internet (slooow and another $10). Then they want another $10 month for text messaging (using the built in yahoo or msn text messengers is billed as text messaging, not internet use, surprise!). I assume in the future they will charge $10 a month for FTP, https, and every other protocol, individually. After taxes and fees, unused minutes, overage minutes, and those damn viral text messages it's clear I'm getting screwed, and would probably be better off with pre-paid. The only problem is the $150 penalty if I cancel, and I like to have the backup email and internet access.
