    To navigate, they just need to have two counterrotating "trains" to transport, the trains could hold like 20 people and stop every 1/8 of a circle.

    What I found when looking for my first job was that everyone wanted 2 years experience for a "entry level" job, so the biggest leg up you can get while in college is to do internships, that gets you the experience you need to get started.

    Cheap car? What are you smoking. Corolla (18k new 40ish mpg) is cheap car, Camry (22k new 33ish mpg) is a decent car, Mustang (28k new) is a sports car. The Camry comes out as being more comfortable inside with more trunk space too.

  13. Re:Usage Patterns on Advocacy Group Files FCC Complaint Over Verizon Tethering Ban · · Score: 1

    Verizon sold me a Droid X with Blockbuster preinstalled (and unremovable) so, I could sit and watch movies all day long using what they provided, so why does it matter if I use the phone or laptop to do it? I can also hook up to an external TV through HDMI and watch the movies on there.

  14. Re:Verizon does enable tethering on Advocacy Group Files FCC Complaint Over Verizon Tethering Ban · · Score: 1

    How about the app that Verizon forces on their Droids, the one from Blockbuster? You don't think that will chew through the bandwidth? Netflix has an app for Android, do you think that will use significantly less bandwidth than the PC version? This isn't about bandwidth, it is about control and money. They want you to pay extra for the privilige, and screw the customer, while the agreement they signed with the FCC for the LTE spectrum said they aren't allowed to do that.

  15. Re:Verizon does enable tethering on Advocacy Group Files FCC Complaint Over Verizon Tethering Ban · · Score: 1

    Verizon charges $30 a month for tethering, on top of the data plan you have, and it pulls out of the same data plan, unless you are on unlimited, than it is 5GB. So my phone service is $99 for 500 minutes a month, unlimited text and data, and they want another $30 for the privilage of using data on my computer through my phone.

  16. Re:Community workarounds ? on Advocacy Group Files FCC Complaint Over Verizon Tethering Ban · · Score: 1

    Verizon removed it out of the box. There is a tether application, but it extorts you out of, I believe, $30 a month.

  17. Re:Well duh. on Advocacy Group Files FCC Complaint Over Verizon Tethering Ban · · Score: 1

    APK install would require rooting the phone, wouldn't it? I haven't tried, so this is an honest question. On Verizon, the Droid tethering app is the Verizon Tethering app, and requires you to pay extra to use it, even though you already pay for data. Rooting the phone breaks your warrenty, according to the manufacturers, and it breaks your contract with Verizon. In all senses, this is wrong, I pay for data, why should it matter if I use the data on the phone, my Nook, or my laptop?

    Yes, you could get a 3 D-Cell mag-light (10x the size?) that outputs 1/5 the light for about the same money...sounds like a great idea, you go out and do that, I will get the 500 lumen flashlight for $80.

    There is a comparable flashlight, and it is only 85 lumens. Try to find something around 500 lumens, then compare prices, I think you will be surprised by how cheap this light is. I know this is /., so this is toxic to us, but if you RTFA, he actually goes over the reasons. A normal everyday LED flashlight at these kinds of lumens are >$300 usually, the programable one is $80, and you can play with the source code to make it function how you want, and it is rechargeable.

    My son recently bridged into Boy Scouts, so I have been looking at devices like this. How good is your experience with these? How quickly does it recharge in good sunlight? Do you find it works pretty well even with high draw items such as cell phones (Droid X, standard battery)?
