    If they're like most tech support, you'd be better off asking them about a cricket match.

    Give me a break. In two months you and others breathing the same nonsense will have to somehow find some new spin. Ah yes -- it's just the calm before the iPhone 5 storm!

    The common refrain I've seen in this thread is "what, no LTE?"

    I couldn't care less what some Indian phone support person wants to hear.

    Or, he knew that he could do this on the phone, so why take the time to figure out his location?

    Wow. Troll? I mean, commodore_64_love is owed a troll mod whenever he opens his mouth, just on general principles, but answering the GP's post succinctly is a troll?

    Considering his reported behaviour while in Paris, he may have married old, but he didn't limit himself to having sex with old.

    Feh. I pick up the phone and ask Ethel to connect me.

    Makes for fun times when I call the phone sex numbers.

    Microsoft slapped their name on it, therefore, they are responsible. What's inside isn't my problem.

    wow you posted correctly and BAM!!!, you were not silenced !

    OTOH, his endorsement of Android is enough for me to scratch it off of my research list in the future. I would hate to think the crazy is catching. (BTW, not only 'not silenced' but actually modded up!)

    Beats the hell outta me about jailbreaking and so forth. Too much horseshit for me to deal with.

    My only problem with the EVO is the network. (Which is in many ways overblown in the ongoing smartphone discussion. Nationwide coverage matters for damned few people. I used to be one of them and can say, without hesitation, that there are tons of places where all four of the major US carriers are shit. For most people, what matters is the coverage where your live and the coverage where you work. National average are as as relevant as deciding what kind of house to buy in Texas based on building standards in Maine.)

    Bag? My phone is bolted to the floor with an antenna going through the rear glass. How do you get that into a bag?

    There's a difference between bloggers and the Wall Street Journal. They both have more credibility than Fox News.

    And yet WSJ and FoxNews have the same parent corporation. Funny how that works out.

    Not me. I'm waiting for the Commodore 64 Phone! That, or the Sinclair ZX81 Phone. THOSE will be game changers, for sure!

    Run them in emulators on modern phones. :)

    So does that mean the iPhone is not a modern phone? No emulators there, nosiree.

  15. Re:How is the false paternity rate in Austrailia? on Consumer Genetic Testing Available In Australia · · Score: 1

    Genetic testing for paternity ought to be routine, and has the opportunity to be as socially disruptive as the Pill was a generation or two ago.

    Which makes it very scary for some very loud people on the public scene. Personally, I can't wait.

  16. Re:How is the false paternity rate in Austrailia? on Consumer Genetic Testing Available In Australia · · Score: 1

    I'd be amazed if it were. I know in the UK and the US, there has been rather vehement protests when bills to mandate said testing have been raised.

    More inflexibility in government. I can't possibly see how that could go wrong.

    Wonder how the false paternity rate is in Austrailia. I'm sure it's about to go down. Remember guys, genetic testing on day zero.
