Exactly. If I believe that traffic signal timings in my town are so screwed up that it is creating a serious drain on the economy, and I go out and do detailed timings and maps and traffic flow analysis, then write a summary for the town's government, their civil engineers are going to come down on me for taking the time to do something legal?
Every time I hear a county official on the radio in my town, this is precisely the attitude they take: "Well, it's very complicated, and I don't want to take five minutes to give you a synopsis. Just let the experts we've contracted with do their jobs."
...seems to be that the data counter built into the phone, accessible from General preferences under Usage, doesn't seem to agree with what the AT&T website reports.
For example, my wife and I just signed up for two $15 data plans and I dropped back from my $30 unlimited plan. I did so after checking the usage on my phone, which had never been reset since I bought the phone at the end of 2009, that said I had used approximately 1.5 GB of cellular data, 1.3G down, 0.2G up. The AT&T website, meanwhile, allows you to check your usage history; and in the same timeframe, AT&T routinely had me going well over 200MB/month, up to over 400 in recent months, well above the 1.5G the phone reports and well above the ~120MB/month average the total suggests. I questioned this, and the AT&T rep said okay, reset it at the beginning of the current period and compare it with the usage when it ends mid-February. Turning off cellular data results in the inaccessibility of visual voicemail, among other things...not sure why that HAS to go over cellular and not whatever happens to be available. It's no telling what else stops working when you take steps to limit your usage.
We're definitely keeping an eye on this situation and on AT&T. I just don't have any idea where their website is getting its data...the counters on my phone really ought to know how many bytes and over which interfaces they're moving. Why shouldn't I trust my phone, AT&T?
...we have zero indiction that the company plans to move toward beefing up its streaming offerings, preferring to hold key titles for mail only. I've asked my wife several times in the past couple of weeks what can possibly be in it for Netflix to continue to operate as if streaming weren't going to be its primary focus going forward. Now I see...20x the cost of doing business.
...Sony does the geek gamer world a huge honor by throwing open this damned fine machine to exploitation by a horde of geniuses and starts beating the drum really loud about PS4.
It's loaded with HFCS. Check the label. We stopped drinking Arizona Green Tea (Honey & Ginseng variety) and started brewing our own with the Luzianne bags and the Florida Crystals natural organic sugar. Very crisp and refreshing, if water won't cut it for you.
Wife and I stopped drinking a lot of Co-Cola, which had been a habit for both of us since college. We started going through a good bit of that Arizona green tea, but it's loaded with HFCS, and so we just started making our own tea with about half a cup of natural organic sugar. We've lost about 20 lb. each since doing that...no question in my mind as to why.
...that, back during the big public debate over whether or not waterboarding constituted torture, a handful of intrepid "journalists" subjected themselves to a sort of trial waterboarding in which they were given some object to drop as a sign to make it stop. This method was because the person may be physically incapable of uttering a safe word or too addled to perform a gesture, so simply dropping something in one's hand was the chosen safe-out.
Then someone said sure, but what if you didn't have something to drop? What if you didn't know the safeword? That causes reality to set in even faster than these bozos dropped their talismans (which was usually in about five seconds).
Wife and I watched District 9 the other night. Or started to. We got all the way up to where Wicus was tortured to operate the alien weaponry and the depiction of the rote testing of the devices, one after the other until finally he was forced to fire at a living prawn. It was simply too much, and we knew it was a movie...horrifying.
from the first few seasons on Netflix last month. Was surprised to see Jim Henson's Muppets every week from the Land of Gorch, and again, some pretty irreverent, funny stuff.
There would also be an incentive to create more criminals in order to have more to punish. People stop robbing, raping and murdering each other, and well it's time to ban videotaping cops.
...the current flow is reduced by a crimped riser pipe that some reports suggest is deteriorating. After that, estimates are 4.2 million gallons a day out of the hole.

Wait until Apple's cloud initiatives firm up...then we'll see, I guess.

That's not what America is about.

...from ever having to work at places like those.
That sounds, to me, like a business strategy.
In my case, the data counter on the phone disagrees significantly with what the AT&T usage website states.

...for the first time at a buddy's house. Just sat there looking around while dudes ran by and shot/stabbed/exploded/bombed me. I was helpless.
I can play some NCAA Football 11, though...just takes practice.

The Mighty Favog!
...a good, solid post on the technological and logistical methodologies of subverting the corporatist establishment.
Well done, friend.
...I'm not sure our Supreme Court can be counted upon to curtail the power of the police.
None of the cops around the neighborhood where I live:
1) mow their grass
2) give a shit about the appearance of their property
or
3) is ever IN the neighborhood while on duty
Yep...the cops have a definite chilling effect on my public ganja smoking. Dastards.
There would also be an incentive to create more criminals in order to have more to punish. People stop robbing, raping and murdering each other, and well it's time to ban videotaping cops.
