No. The problem with AT&T's network isn't the number of towers (though that's a limiting factor when it comes to customer growth and advertiseable coverage area) but rather the shoddy backhaul. And it's *extremely* unlikely that T-Mobile's backhual is any better. In fact, upgrading their wireless signaling to LTE "4G" is almost insulting considering they haven't reached anything close to 50% of the capacity of 3G. It's strictly a marketing move so they can advertise the "4G" status of their network. Which would be great if the towers were the endpoints we wanted to reach. Unfortunately that's not the case, and the connection from the tower to the rest of the network seems closer to dialup.
aliens are more likely to understand a metric system better than imperial.
If aliens could figure out interstellar travel, I'm sure they'd have no problem with Imperial measurements. But hell, the obvious argument should be that if Americans can understand it, anyone can, right?
we haven't even moved to a base 10 timing metric yet, who are we to judge?
Yes we have. The official unit of time is the second. Minutes/hours/years are all unconventional.
I always figured he wasn't really flying. Instead, he just jumps for a really long time with the ability to change direction in air, like Mario, and even hover for brief periods of time as long as his cape is flapping, also like Mario in the Tanooki suit with his tail flapping.
Honestly, there's no good reason we haven't shifted to a much more sensible 10x4 work week back in the middle of the last century. Why should we have two day weekends when we could have three day weekends with only a minor scheduling change? Think of all the billions of dollars of gasoline we could save. It seems like there's either a concerted effort to keep people busy, or else it's a matter of keeping up appearances where no company wants to be seen making less than a 100% effort to the fullest extent allowed by law. "Look at those lazy bastards over at XYZ, Inc. They're only open 4 days a week!"
Im educated in the top 8 percent of US citizens since I have a MS in Applied Mathematics, and I have 4 years work experience in IT and scientific research. Why shouldn't I be able to get a job after applying to over 100?
Because you're overqualified and you'd either cost more than a fresh, young graduate, or else you'd shortly move on to greener pastures.
Just another reason we should lower the voting age to 13 or 14. If we're going to try them as adults in our courts, it only makes sense that they should have some input into the system. Most teenagers would probably take the vote more seriously than many adults to boot.
All anyone needs to do is encrypt their own data before placing it in the DropBox folder. E.g., I have my KeePass password database stored in DropBox. Keep your keys in a secure, portable location (webmail, usb stick, phone) and you're set. Then all you need to worry about is the real world.
If I lined all the kids up and asked you to pick out the ones on the school lunch program, you'd probably miss 2/3 of them.
Sounds like there's more kids on the school lunch program than there should be. Not that I think it's a big deal.. in fact, they should just include it in the budget and stop charging for school lunch altogether, except then the brown bagging parents would throw a fit about how they shouldn't have to pay for a program they don't use (nevermind the fact that their childless neighbors are doing just that through their own property taxes).
But I digress. The kids already know who the other poor kids are, and who the rich kids are, and if they don't, they'll figure it out soon enough.
This is nothing more than a rumor. To my knowledge, there hasn't been a single verified incident of anyone being turned away from warranty coverage because their device was jailbroken.
Besides, you can always have your phone registered for development and do whatever you want, no questions asked. At most it will cost an additional $99... register as a company with a few other people and the price quickly goes down. As a bonus, you might even come up with something worth distributing to other people for fun or profit.
This is as brilliant as having children at school that can't afford lunch stand in a line to get lunch tickets/vouchers so the other kids know who the poor ones are to ridicule.
Right, because without explicitly pointing them out, the poor kids might simply be mistaken for very young hipsters.
Along with meat, poultry, fruit, and vegetables, the outside of my supermarket contains, in no particular order: soda, energy drinks, beer, chips, popcorn, pretzels, donuts, cakes, cookies, white bread, fried chicken, cheese, butter, eggs, and Slim Jim-style "meat products."
Not that I buy the argument that the problem with America's diet is much of anything other than quantity. We're certainly not malnourished. We're getting plenty of protein and essential vitamins and minerals, even in the most "unhealthy" of diets. The Twinkie diet is the ultimate data point in the overwhelming volume of evidence that suggests that sugar is not the problem; it's calories in and calories out (exercise, or the lack thereof), just like we've known all along.

That's weird, because from the body's point of view, potatoes == sugar. Potatoes are nearly 100% carbohydrates, and carbohydrate is a SYNONYM for sugar. Just because it doesn't taste sweet doesn't mean it's automatically healthy.

Not saying that makes it right by any means, just that your experience may not be representative.
I'm amazed America doesn't have anything similar already.
How many years have we been friends??? It's like you don't know us at all. ::sulk::
I didn't say there was a better alternative.
There's a saying about alcohol.. "The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems." But you can just as easily say the same thing about people.
Which is an issue for the people who drink for the flavor.
Both of them.

I do. Almost as much as the doublethink and hypocrisy of Android fanboys and Apple haters.
