SV makes up only a small percentage of software dev firms. They're located all over the place. Instead of going to work in SV, why not work in Irvine? Santa Monica? Denver? Seattle? Phoenix? Huntsville? Hoffman Estates? etc etc etc?
And that's not even getting into the fact that many software dev firms allow you to work remotely. Who cares about working at Microsoft or Google if you can work at ADP or Northrop and live much cheaper?
Yup. Apparently it does take a rocket scientist to know that posting your keys in publicly accessible places will get them compromised... maybe that's why they're software developers and not rocket scientists
At work, my extension is tied into my email. When someone leaves me a message, it's sent as a wav file to my email, and I can listen to it from my mobile device. At home, Vonage gives me "visual voicemail", where my calls are transcribed and sent as an email, along with a wav file, to my personal email. On my cell phone, my phone, my provide provides the same service as Vonage. I don't need to pick up my phone at any location and press * or # or dial a special number to listen to my voicemail, instead it's delivered to me in an easy to consume format. This is proper voicemail. Arcane voicemail systems that require you to dial in and listen to a message will die, simply because they provide no convenience compared to newer alternatives, just like tape driven answer machines were driven out by remotely hosted voicemail services because of their superior featureset and accessibility.
Seriously. It's like Alan Cumming in Goldeneye. Yea, you're invincible, but you're not fucking scary. Here's a bomb in a fucking click-pen. Fucking die.
No problem if plain sight from public property, but if they stuck it on the pole to see in the backyard that's otherwise obscured, that's a violation of privacy.
Say what you will about MS throwing money down the tube, but the Zune was a damn good and underappreciated device, and Zune Pass was the best value after Yahoo Music Unlimited folded
Unlimited means I pay a flat rate for the service and the service doesn't stop at any thresholds other than not paying my bill. For data, they advertised "unlimited data". There are no extra fees for use past a certain point, unlike capped services where you pay per threshold. People hear unlimited data and they take it to mean unlimited bandwidth, and the two are fundamentally different. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but I do believe AT&T is overdoing the throttling when you do hit the softcap.
Indeed, nothing is ever unlimited is it? My lifetime supply of Doritos that I won in a contest is actually a fixed number for month, my unlimited supply of sunlight I receive is actually up until the sun goes nova, my unlimited dialup AOL actually is limited by my 56k baud modem, etc.
Tell me where I agreed to anything in my contract that has to do with guaranteed bandwidth? My contract states unlimited data, which is tempered by the bandwidth assigned to me. Just like any normal home internet connection, where you are assigned bandwidth and you have unlimited within those constraints.
AT&T sends you a text when you're close and it's obvious there is a change. It's like driving full speed to being forced to walk. It's not inconsistent service(I don't have inconsistent service in my location) in this case.
Eh, technically they're not lying. I have unlimited data, but unlimited to the point of the bandwidth they assign me(as is always the case with any unlimited service). I don't have a guaranteed speed in my 10-15 year old AT&T unlimited contract.

1998 called and wanted its joke back
Heat guns are cheap
Use a fucking heat gun. Don't back your shit. Jesus, what kind of fucking rookies live in this world?
Nah, TSA isn't going to do anything about it. Rather, the airline will just blacklist you.
Correct, you book multiple one way tickets. I do this all the time with certain carriers because you get bonuses for one way trips on miles
I like TouchWiz.
You obviously don't work with customers.
Proper voicemail systems are evolved.

If we go by when 4G finally arrives (still not completely deployed in the US)...
...in places of high density
Obama, duh
AT&T is routinely the one listed as the worst. Still don't have 4.4.4 on my Note 3.

Depends on what the contract says. Wireless contracts do not provide any guaranteed level of bandwidth capability
Tell me where I agreed to anything in my contract that has to do with guaranteed bandwidth? My contract states unlimited data, which is tempered by the bandwidth assigned to me. Just like any normal home internet connection, where you are assigned bandwidth and you have unlimited within those constraints.
Err? The current FTC Chair(wo)man is a Democrat appointed by Obama, and the FTC Commissioners are majority Democrat.
