I didn't assume I knew everything, or that no providers existed that had reasonable policies about contract vs. non-contract service. All I said with all the providers I tried, I was unable to obtain service without a contract and/or buying a phone from them. In fact, in my first post, I specifically asked for information about carriers that would let me bring in my own equipment.
I gave you the information you asked for, and you told me I was wrong. Were you looking for an answer, or were you looking for an argument?
Go to Verizon Wireless. You can bring in any phone on their approved device list and activate it with no contract. With no contract, night/weekend minutes and in-network calling will each cost you $10/mo. extra.
A contract is usually a better option for people because the phone is subsidized, and they don't have to pay extra for the bonus contract features.
Assuming you know everything about cellular contracts just because you were duped into getting one is ignorant at best.
buying and storing music wirelessly using a 3G or other cellphone network.
I haven't been able to find the patent filing yet, so I don't know the scope. However, if that's one of their goals with this patent, Verizon Wireless already has prior art with their VCast Music service.
To watch ESPN, you need a TV, a cable or satellite tuner, a connection to the cable company or satellite company to provide the feed, and a wall outlet to provide power for the TV and cable or satellite tuner.
If the TV is there, it's a reasonable assumption to make that the rest of it will be too.
In the lower left corner of the screen for 99% of out-of-the-box systems when they are on there's that little start button, which does have something remotely to do with apps & docs
Try moving your mouse all the way to the corner of the screen and click. See what happens? Nothing.
Also: what about the menu bar at the top? Upper right-hand corner: close window..
Again, try moving your mouse to the top-right corner and click. Again, nothing.
Also from TFA, the author addresses this issue. Maybe you should go back and take a look.
In my case, it's fairly easy. FAFSA guarantees nearly a free ride based on my yearly income, and since I haven't tied myself down with any _real_ responsibilities (e.g. kids, mortgage), I can just drop everything and worry about what's important.
An apples to apples comparison would be a 4-head VCR to a progressive-scan DVD player. That being the case, your argument still doesn't hold water, as the cheapest progressive scan DVD player still costs about the same.
You can still find VCRs at major electronics retailers for as low as 45USD. Surely, after all that fact-checking you did regarding HDTV in the USA, you could have googled "vcr".

Nobody's forcing you into a contract. Just pay full price for your own equipment and pay extra for the N&W minutes and in-network calling.
Doesn't sound like such a bad deal now, does it?
I guess I'm the only person on the entire planet who isn't a DJist about music and has to hear it to know the mood/tempo/etc.
Not being able to relate to someone doesn't invalidate their opinion. You're acting like a baby.

My point exactly.

You're being pedantic.
Then why bother with the phone? You must be an engineer.
HTML can be read after converting the file to BBeB.
Griffin makes the SmartDeck, which does exactly that.

Your life won't even begin until after high school. Trust me.
That's an interesting point, but let me add a counter-point.
How many third party drivers need to be installed on the average Mac?

Amen to that. After 5 years out of school, working crap jobs with little hope of promotion, I'm absolutely dying to go to school.
You can get one module or the other, not both. Hence the (albeit more expensive) option for both on one module. Stop bitching.
Every local television syndicate has to broadcast OTA in the USA.
VGA-to-component transcoders exist, in the ~$150-$200USD range.

... which is well over half the price of a VCR.
