I hate to say it, but when I bought my 4c many many a year ago it actually came with the software. I believe it had Fur Elise and a few others already attatched.
I fail to see the practicality of this. One, any dog owner will agree with me, don't spend more then $15.00 on an item for your dog (besides, food and one of those invisible fences). Owning two Labs, I can honestly say that this thing had better be pretty rugged to withstand a day with my two pups playing out side. Or do you just put it on when you think they might run off? Also....calling ones dog on a cell? He might not be paying attention while he is trying to answer the phone and walk right in to traffic. If you got the cash and they ever make one a small indestructible GPS unit would be a brilliant idea! As of now however, an RFID chip is still the best way to find your missing pet. I mean...what happens if they forget to pay their bill and the numbers cut off.
Numbers are often used as letters. The term "leet" could be written as "1337," with "1" replacing the letter L, "3" posing as a backwards letter E, and "7" resembling the letter T. Others include "8" replacing the letter B, "9" used as a G, "0" (zero) in lieu of O, and so on.
Non-alphabet characters can be used to replace the letters they resemble. For example, "5" or even "$" can replace the letter S. Applying this style, the word "leetspeek" can be written as "133t5p33k" or even "!337$p34k," with "4" replacing the letter A.
Letters can be substituted for other letters that may sound alike. Using "Z" for a final letter S, and "X" for words ending in the letters C or K is common. For example, leetspeekers might refer to their computer "5x1llz" (skills).
Rules of grammar are rarely obeyed. Some leetspeekers will capitalize every letter except for vowels (LiKe THiS) and otherwise reject conventional English style and grammar, or drop vowels from words (such as converting very to "vry").
Mistakes are often left uncorrected. Common typing misspellings (typos) such as "teh" instead of the are left uncorrected or sometimes adopted to replace the correct spelling.
Non-alphanumeric characters may be combined to form letters. For example, using slashes to create "/\/\" can substitute for the letter M, and two pipes combined with a hyphen to form "|-|" is often used in place of the letter H. Thus, the word ham could be written as "|-|4/\/\."
The suffix "0rz" is often appended to words for emphasis or to make them plural. For example, "h4xx0rz," "sk1llz0rz," and "pwnz0rz," are plural or emphasized versions (or both) of hacks, skills, and owns.
It's important to remember that the leetspeek community encourages new forms and awards individual creativity, resulting in a dynamic written language that eludes conformity or consistency. However, there are a few standard terms. The following is a sample of key words that haven't changed fundamentally (although variations occur) since the invention of leetspeek. The first series is of particular concern, as their use could be an indicator that your teenager is involved in the theft of intellectual property, particularly licensed software.
Leet words of concern or indicating possible illegal activity:
"warez" or "w4r3z": Illegally copied software available for download.
"h4x": Read as "hacks," or what a malicious computer hacker does.
"pr0n": An anagram of "porn," possibly indicating the use of pornography.
"sploitz" (short for exploits): Vulnerabilities in computer software used by hackers.
"pwn": A typo-deliberate version of own, a slang term often used to express superiority over others that can be used maliciously, depending on the situation. This could also be spelled "0\/\/n3d" or "pwn3d," among other variations. Online video game bullies or "griefers" often use this term.
Other common leet words:
"kewl": A common derivation of "cool."
"m4d sk1llz" or "mad skills": Refers to one's own talent. "m4d" itself is often used for emphasis.
"n00b," "noob," "newbie," or "newb": Combinations synonymous with new user. Some leetspeekers view "n00b" as an insult and "newbie" as an affectionate term for new users.
"w00t" or the smiley character \o/: An acronym that usually means "We Own the Other Team," used to celebrate victory in a video game.
"roxx0rs" Used in place of "rocks," typically to describe something impressive.
"d00d": Replaces the greeting or addressing someone as a "dude."
"joo" and "u": Used instead of "you." This is also commonly written as "j00" or "_|00."
"ph": often replaces "f," as in "phear" for "fear" (as in "ph34r my l33t skillz") and vice versa, such as spelling "phonetic" as "f0|\|371(."
Working for a small company (90 people)and doing 100% of the IT work myself. I actually tend to see some respect. I once made a joke how no one ever calls IT when things are working. So a few people call me randomly thanking me for keeping the network working. Granted the two IT guys before me where slackers and didn't know IT support from the shit they took after lunch. (sorry, a little venting) I feel the more respect you get the more you interact with your users/clients and the more personaly they know you. Granted In a smaller company it's eaiser to do.
ya know....Lir of Omicron Persei 8 will be pissed in a 1000 years when he comes to visit and finds out that McDonalds is no longer running the speical of 2 Fish Sandwhiches for 2$
"don't fuck with mother nature or mother nature will find a way to fuck with you" Whats to say this thing that is grown in some lab won't be the next super virus.
First off, I must say is that the only reason that I would consider buying one would be if I needed a new coffee table for my living room. Microsoft thinks that because it is a huge corp that it can do anything in any market. Not true, stick to making software and keyboards. Better yet, don't make software.
Well right now I am a collage student in the field of computer networking and electronics system. I am hoping and thinking that in 2 years when i get out there might be some good jobs left. My current job is not that bad. (besides the ISP work that I do on the side for beer and DSL money) But I hope that some of you guys leave some of the fun ones open for us college kids.
I do support for an ISP, which one I won't say, but lets just say that well I have helped a guy named "Bubba" get on the internet.
The only thing that is left is that I would love to do is take pictures for a "normal" internet porn site.
The Spaceball ref is in the part when they are in the van. and Jay calls Stiffler (from american pie I and II, thats the only name I know him by:o) ) Prince Valient.
The movie I think was a good close to the series of movies that have been going on for years now. I was just surprised to hear that no one in the theater that I was in didn't get the space balls reference. Also, is it just me or is there a Mac in every movie that I have seen this year.

Because companies don't have anything else to worry about?

side note: people if you can not get the titles right or the order of the movies complain don't complain about them.
The movie I think was a good close to the series of movies that have been going on for years now. I was just surprised to hear that no one in the theater that I was in didn't get the space balls reference. Also, is it just me or is there a Mac in every movie that I have seen this year.
