  1. Re:On Hybrid Vehicles on Chevrolet Volt In a Gasoline-Only Scenario · · Score: 1

    WERE. have you seen, heard or driven a newer diesel? apparently not...

    as for availability, at least where I live/work, it's getting rarer and rarer to find stations that DONT sell diesel.
    of the 10 stations I pass each way on my commute only 1 does not sell diesel.

    I wish I knew... I've been asking for a few years now.
    generally it's not a big deal but a Exchange/PDC upgrade earlier this year frazzled my nerves with having to touch ever machine individually to update shares/printers.

  4. well... on How Many Admins Per User/Computer Have You Seen? · · Score: 1

    at my office I support 200 users/pcs, 10 servers, 4 copier/print systems, document scanning/indexing systems and warehouse production systems - and I'm not allowed to use GPO. my company has other locations with less users/systems to support but with more support staff...

    when I still smoked cigs I never had an issue carrying a lighter on the plane.
    hell, my backpack pocket probably had 2 lighters and a pack of matches, just in case, and no one ever said anything.

    yeah...I'm still trying to figure out when this "no liquids" ban went into effect as my last flight, about 4 months ago, didnt stop me nor anyone else from bringing a drink onto the plane.
    I have yet to be charged, nor seen anyone else charged, for a drink either...

    central VA and AT&T is the best service around here, by far.
    I've never had a dropped call while my work provided Blackberry on Verizon and previously Sprint/Nextel never got reception.

    I've been a ATT (Cingular, Suncom, etc) customer for about 8 years now and have never dropped a call.
    Verizon, Alltel, T-Mobile, Sprint/Nextel...all have dropped calls.

    whose anecdotal evidence is better?

    one of my remote depot/cross-docks has a 5 port router with a pcmcia slot. that slot holds a standard Verizon aircard that anyone can buy. it's not a "business" only piece of hardware or special contract service either...we pay the same price as any consumer would for the hardware and monthly contract.

    not really...

    a Verizon tech was repairing some fiber at my office and we started talking about their FIOS service. long story short, the tech said that every town/city Verizon (and other cable cos) moves into, they go into the low income sections first as they will always get the biggest/baddest/most $$ package offered to accompany their 50+ tvs

  19. Re:More Expensive on Full Review of the iPhone 2 On Launch Day · · Score: 1

    texting is optional, not mandatory like the data plan is, therefore I didnt include it in the cost analysis.
    besides, the OP didnt mention texting in his analysis either...

  20. Re:More Expensive on Full Review of the iPhone 2 On Launch Day · · Score: 1

    you mean $40, for US users.

    lets assume the 8GB model:
    old version @ $399 with $20/month unlimited data
    new version @ $199 with $30/month unlimited data

    over 2 years (length of ATT contract), the extra $10/month you will pay in data fees is $240...of course the phone is $200 cheaper, so you will only pay out $40 extra over the 2 years than you would have with the older version.

    so, please tell me how this will be $160 more than the older version.
    thanks,
