  1. Damn... this is scary

    Roaming fees for Data? You mean roaming between cellphone providers or roaming between states?

    I really really hope you're wrong.

    I never thought this actually worked, then a week ago I got a concerned call from an old time customer that her computer was BSODing. Turns out, the AV license ran out and she got one of this ads and promptly downloaded the "Fix program". Cleaned the program away and the computer ran with no problem. Damn

    What does the TV channels include and how fast is your internet? For comparison here in Mexico you can get a plan with 200Mbps down/20 Mbps up; 285 channels (95 in HD) with an unlimited phone line (which no one uses since cellphone lines are also unlimited, and no way to get rid of the phone) costs 1719 MXN a month which runs about 91.5 USD given the awful exchange rate (1 USD = 18.7975 MXN). This is on one of the expensive service providers. Recently changes to telecommunications law got passed making it easier to compete, we have a handful of choices even in the small city I live. Prices have gone down a lot! But still I'm curious if they are low enough or we're still being ripped off. Comparing to the states is one good option.

  7. Don't forget to add that new vehicles also account for the pedestrian, if you had hit a person instead of a deer on that old Cadillac, you'd have messed him/her up way way worse than if hitting him/her in a newer car.

  8. This could be on purpose on MongoDB Config Error Exposed 93M Mexican Voter Records (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Elections are harsh in Mexico, with the PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) doing whatever it takes to hold onto power. This might very well be on purpose to extract data on voters to fake votes and inflate ballot boxes. A good bribe to the sysadmin or even a harsh threat (political parties are known to have nexus with organized crime) could have been the reason for this.

    Damn it, this whole nerd movie sound a hell lot better.

    I hope this is sarcasm, toilet flush spreads germs too; you'd be wiping your hands with shit germs.

  11. It will start bloating and requiring bigger and faster phones to just barely run. It will also be integrated with all MS services and you'll require a Microsoft account to use it.
