  1. Huzzah! on T-Mobile Ends Contracts and Subsidies · · Score: 1

    Nice to see a carrier doing the right thing. I bought a iPhone 5 unlocked, from Apple (yeah, I know) so that I could use it on T-mobile. I have never had any complaints about T-mobiles service, and I have been with them for a freaking long time.

    I second that. Also can someone find the asshat that is posting this shit and BREAK HIS FUCKING LEGS?

    I mean: nobody is so crazy to waste citizens' money on intercepting and storing everyone's communication, the investment and maintenance cost will be everly increasing.

    Wanna bet? They will simply take the money from some 'unimportant' department that actually provides some sort of public service. Sorry guys, you can't have money for cancer research, because we are going to snoop through your e-mails. You had better believe it.

    Yes, the people responsible should be publicly flogged and then executed. But that will never happen.

    I agree. War should be one-on-one, a blood and guts in-your-face ordeal. It should be as unpalatable as possible.

    And yes, enemy hackers should be seen as combatants and treated as such. Send in the ninjas and cut their throats.

    Same thing goes for the MPAA and RIAA. Cut the throats of all the bosses and see just how keen they are to continue their evil ways.

    Oh, and the banksters - give them a close shave as well.

    Yeah, right. Who's the bigger dumb-ass - the one who has watched it though and considers it shit, or the moron who has just publicly admitted to pirating it, still has it on their lap-top, and still has not managed to watch it all the way though because it is so incredibly bad? Hmmm? And your post was marked 'insightful'. Really? Are you guys on crack?

    The guy who recommended it to me - I bitch slapped him back to last week. Perhaps I should have pounded him a bit further so he could warn me that watching it would have been (be?) a bad idea.

    Thanks for the info.

  16. Re:I've Never Been On A Train on Ask Slashdot: Anti-Theft Devices For Luggage? · · Score: 1

    Sadly, trains are not cheaper than air. Oh well. That being said, it's my favorite way to travel - even long cross country trips. Also coach seats, round trip from San Jose, CA to Chicago, IL can be had for under $400. If you take a roomette, add about $400 each way. That's not really that expensive figuring that meals are included in the room price. I always get a room for over night trips.

    Rail travel is way more comfortable than flying, It's generally safer in the accidents generally do not involve the death of everyone on board. Also the added bonus that you need not worry about the TSA morons in 99% of the stations.

    Why take the train? It's fun, comfortable, relaxing, and hassle free, few limits on luggage, etc.... For the most part, you will not find scum on trains. They generally would take a bus.

    I have never had anything go missing while on a train. I have had stuff disappear on flights.

    WHAT?!?!!

    Dude, I used to raise chickens. They eat pretty much anything. Worms, snails, bugs, small children, and yes, some grain - you name it, chickens will eat it.

    If you are eating 'free range' chickens, then they are eating everything in sight. Caged chickens eat mostly grain, but that is not their natural diet. They get grain to make them fat.

    I have to agree. The old version of M$ Orifice that we use in our office still works fine, and is joyfully free of the FUCKING RIBBON. It ain't broke, it has all the features that we need. Why buy an inferior re-hash of something that you already have?
