Yeah, that's cats for ya'. Dog's attitude on seeing you come home, "All right! I love you!! You're the greatest!!" A cat'll just glance over at you with a look that says, "Leave a message. Maybe I'll get back to you."
I got in on that deal too. Recently dropped it for republic wireless. $19 a month, cool phone, unlimited everything.
Really? 25-19=6 extra dollars in my pocket. (I'm not cheap, I'm "frugal"!) $6 times 12 months= $72...hmm...., I'm no math wiz per se, but... Republic Wireless you say, Never heard of them. Maybe, Virgin Mobile has always been very good with me though. Customer service has always been a good experience, there's something to be said for that when dealing with these phone companies. Thanks for the tip, I'll look into them.
A friend of mine was a tmobile customer for years, loved his service, always told people how great Tmobile was. That is, until one month when he went just a little over his 1000 minutes. They kicked him in the financial nuts for it! He spoke to their customer service, explaining he's been a good customer for years, always paid his bill, never came close to his 1000 minutes. Tmobile said there was nothing they would do. A few days later my friend had a cheaper Wal-Mart phone!
Too bad its capped at 2 Gigabytes and you get throttled to under a few hundred kbps with random disconnects multiple times a minute.
Virgin Mobile throttles at the 2.5 gig, sometimes. I have the same 300minute $25 (grandfathered) plan. I don't get "randomly disconnected" at all when I've gone over, never have. Are you under 3 feet tall, live under a bridge and charge people to cross your bridge? In other words, are you a troll?!?
Seriously, the more I read about these overpriced plans, "I thank Gawd" for my Virgin Mobile phone. $25 a month gives me 300 minutes, unlimited text/web, web throttled after 2.5 gig. I have gone over the limit a couple of times and really didn't notice a speed difference, and if I use wifi when I'm home I never go over anyway. (New PayAsYouGo customers do pay $35 per month.) VirginMobile is supposedly powered by Sprint, and Sprint is supposedly powered by Verizon. Service has been great in the N.Y. area. I hear the horror stories from friends and co-workers about their phone companies, overage charges, etc. When they ask what I have and I tell them "VM Pay as you go.", sometimes they'll sneer at the Virgin.Mobile name. Then I say, "I pay $25 a month" and just smile, like this:-)
The Statue of Liberty wouldn't have been built unless Americans paid for and built it's pedastel/ base. That was a huge amount of money at the time, all paid for by private citizens, many of them schoolchildren donating saved pennies. http://www.statueofliberty.org/Statue_History.html I think the Tesla Museum will be great!

Keep that Star War'sy speeder-bike thingy away from my new car's paint job! I can see pebbles and dust flying around everywhere this thing goes. For stability's sake, throwing a couple of gyroscopes on wouldn't hurt either. As proof of concept, looks promising. I'd still wear a helmet, for now.
" Our planet will be long dead by the time the sun actually touch's earth."
Based on... what? I don
t think our planet will be lifeless until the suns expansion.
Might not be human life.
I think the question might be, will we actually be human in 4-5 billion years or evolved through several species along the way to some other solar system?
But, thats an evolutionary idea.
A couple of years ago I was surfing the net on a friend's computer. While on google, I'd searched "naked women", a couple of clicks later a video comes up that was so disgusting and horrible, to this day it still bothers me to think about it. I couldn't think what it must be like to have a job that exposes someone to that level of horror on a regular basis.
In other news it was announced today that I will be producing a web tablet of my own, designed to compete head to head with all the other tablet makers. When reached for comment, I said, "Why not? Everyone else is!"
Oooh I heard of this earlier! Can I get in on the early adopter band wagon for your Big Chief tablets?! I'm a game developer, and tablets need games! I assume you'll be running Apache. You're in luck, mod_rewrite is Turing complete and I've used my.htaccess vodo to create a nifty tic-tac-toe game! Bonus: It uses Cloud Computing!
Sure, it runs Apache. Hell, by the time I'm done with it, it'll be chasing Hacowees straight into Fort F-Troop! Tell you what, if you invest $100,000 "seed money" (into my diirect deposit Pay-Pal account), I will print up, er, I mean... send you shares of stock in my cloud-based startup (Oh, it "started up" in a "cloud", allright!).

That's the front page headline of the New York Post (Saturday, August 18, 2012) with a full color photo of these three woman looking up at armed guards, disgusting how theyare being treated and how they are going to be treated in Russian jails . For dancing! ***"History judges societies by how well they treated their women."***
Turn Left! Or so the Nav system of my unlocked phone said, even though I was in the middle of the bridge...
If anyone turns off the middle of a bridge, or onto railroad tracks, or off a cliff because their nav system told them to, then good! That's what you call natural selection in the modern age of tech.

Or use google voice via wi-fi and no t-mobile needed at all. :)
Since wi-fi is faster than 3g, why wouldn't you use wi-fi when your'e home? Saves your 3g allotment for when your'e away from wi-fi.

I read in the last /. Tesla story that the Colorado museum closed several years ago due to lack of funds.

That's what the martians thought, too.

With all due respect to you sir, I must disagree. I believe it would be a much bleaker existence were "Uranus" jokes to be banned. http://www.nottriangles.com/blog/uranus.html And fart jokes. Yeah, farts will always be funny... http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=CCtiQTQQ7QA
I would have been far more interested to know what kind of crazy planet was capable of devouring stars.
Uh,... Uranus?
