  1. Re:Tower Location on How's Your Cell Service? · · Score: 2, Informative

    In Mississippi, where I'm at, Bellsouth and Cellular south owns most of the towers in the state. Im a cellular south customer and so it's easy to use that link to find their towers, since their the owners.

    Another thing to realize, is this doesnt carry all towers, just those high enough that they have to be registered with the FCC so the FAA can avoid them.

    BTW, for any Mississippians, I'd had cellular south for a number of years and they do a swell job of coverage in rural areas where as some of the big timers don't. Sometimes it's better to go local if you need good local coverage. Cellular south seems to know where to invest it's money, putting towers at home.

    I don't work for cellular south, I'm just a very satisified customer.

  3. Re:Before we get carried away on New Power Plant Produces Both Energy & Fresh Water · · Score: 1

    Do you seriously believe that once we find an alternative energy source twenty five years from now that everyone and everycompany will just immediately switch? Heck no, it'll be gradual and will probably take upwards of 10-15 years to complete the transition. People hate change, so the less oil we use now the better & the less of a panic we will have whenever we do have to make the change.

    If this is as widespread as it would appear, it's just a matter of time before someone works up the nerve to file a class action lawsuit.

    Class action lawsuit? and let all the lawyers get the money, wouldn't it be better to count your losses for yourself, but put up a website and create some publicity that way instead of letting grubby lawyers take it all you end up getting IBM to create a better product for us all to enjoy?

    You get the enjoyment in knowing that you did it all, which has to be worth the $10.00 coupon you'll end up with after the lawyers take their 95% cut.

    Best of all, "86" is slang in lots of places for "dead".

    The casinos use this term "86'd" whenever someone is banned from the casino for any reason.

    I've been using David Harris's Pegasus Mail program since late 1996 IIRC, it's been great.

    That's why I can let my network monitoring utilities go ahead and send me SMS messages.. I don't get charged for them. :-) Other carriers might charge $0.10, but at least one doesn't...

    My provider, Cellular South, doesn't charge for each sms message. That doesn't mean that unwanted messages can be sent to me.

  19. Re:SMS overall? on FEC Permits Anonymous SMS Spam · · Score: 1

    I don't have a problem with them leaving out "paid for by" stuff as long as the SMS headers say who sent it, just like email (well, presuming it can't be forged like email). If you can't tell who sent it, then that's a problem with SMS itself that needs to be remedied, irrespective of who's sending them.

    My provider, Cellular South, doesn't charge for sms either, but that doesn't mean I any unwanted message on my phone.
