    NHTSA said back in the eighties* that smaller cars are safer b/c they are less likely to hit something or be hit b/c of their size. It makes sense that when you are hit, it's a greater catastrophe but you'd be hit less often.

  15. Re:T-Mobile Pay as you go on Ask Slashdot: Best Mobile Phone Solution With No Data Plan? · · Score: 0

    I live in Kentucky and am happy with T-Mobile also. I bought a prepaid Motorola phone.When you buy $100 in minutes, the 1000 minutes last for one year or until used up. Phone calls are ten cents per minute and texting is ten cents per text. I got tired of the Motorola flip phone and bought a unlocked Nexus S from Amazon for $404. The phone I got was an ATT model GT-I9020A but since I don't have a data plan, it doesn't matter. But for T-Mo I could have gotten a GT-I9020T. All I really need is a GSM phone. I plugged in the sim from the Motorola and the Nexus worked like a charm. I have wifi at home and a lot of place I frequent have it also, so I almost always have the internet available. If you buy a smartphone from T-Mo, they will insist on a data plan.

    ATT has a similar prepaid plan but texting on that is $.20 per text. I text infrequently, so the cost is not really important.

    I am happy with the Nexus S but other phones would do as well.

    I agree with the first part but I think that Iraq is just as willing to sell us the oil as we are to buy it. If they would be allowed to do it.

    We are fighting the war in Iraq because Dubya has to be like his daddy and do every thing that he does. And to avenge the assination attempt on his daddy's life. And to line the pockets of his administrations friends.

  23. Kind of Stupid on How Dangerous is Online Chat for Kids? · · Score: 0

    having a .kids.us domain when they could just put all the porn and filth under a .xxx domain. That way it could be easily filtered out by people who want to. Where I live the porn store is on the outskirts of town and kids aren't allowed in and there are no teasers on the outside of the store as there are at porn sites. A lot of people are sick of getting this crap pushed in our face everytime we turn around.

    My advice is that you should always pay down credit card debt before saving, you'll be better off in the long run. I always pay off my cards in full each month, I never carry a balance. Being in debt means having less. I make exception for home mortgage and car loans.
