I actually called Verizon on Verizon and a supervisor told me it wasn't related which is odd as it is the exact same thing. But maybe there FCC can be smartenough to realize that a charge to use a specific app is the same thing.
Does Amazon reduce the quality when they stream the music to their mobile app? Or am I now paying twice as much to listen to each of my songs that was previously streamed at 128 and now comes across at 256? Seems like yet another place where end users are getting screwed with data plans with sad capacity limits and high dollar prices. The cloud is getting darker every day...
So while I agree the fragmentation issue isn't a deal breaker there are some downsides. For example I have a droid, my dad has a HTC Incredible. When he calls me and asks me in old man speak how to do things I can't always answer his question as the HTC sense experience does make some things work differently. While it's not a huge problem it is one thing that with can get worse over time, however the market should take care of itself in this area as if someone makes a user experience that is crappy no one will buy their product, and if someone finds a way to make it rock then it'll get absorbed by all within a release or two. Same thing with multiple markets, if i buy from amazon or from google who cares, I get the software i want and get to put it on my device. Only time it could be an issue is when the same product is on both and the functionality isn't the same. Just face facts Steve Jobs is just plain unamerican in his use mine or nothing approach. I mean what if i want an iphone but i love porn, this is just too stressful....
So how does one violate term L when using a service that requires a fiber optic line be installed by Verizon?
"(l) use the Service in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria or any other E:1 Country as designated by the Department of Commerce."
That has got to be one long network cable....
Not all Chicago politicians are criminals, just the ones with power.... and of those only like 60% go to jail. Although it's not all bad, they do have clean streets. Besides with no Olympics it'll give Chicago more time to work on getting their own teams to win things.
About a year ago I politely asked my Senators if they would work to end use of SS#s by private companies either by outlawing it except for financial institutions or forcing some sort of costly security minimum for storage of SS#s and insurance in the event of theft to discourage people who don't actually need it. Both of which seem logical enough no one should be actively opposed to it.
Months later I received a response from both Senators. One was a form letter about how great the Senator was and how he appreciated my support. The other said that he would consider such a bill if one came before him. So feel free to write the bill and send it to your Senator as mine didn't realize creating legislation was part of his job. Not that its a surprise as it would explain why lobbist are so busy writting our laws.
Why wait to imagine, didn't you hear the senate is investigating text message costs in an attempt to get them lowered so we can all have more protected "free speech" in the form of spam text messages.
We have had these in Chicago for a long time, but we're straightforward about their purpose. The vans they are mounted on clearly read Department of Revenue. Given the bumper to bumper street parking the cameras work pretty well as they're constantly stopped putting boots on cars.
Anyplace with a high enough population of EZ-Pass or other transponders could in theory calculate travel time with it. It isn't very useful to count cars though because unless you are on a toll road the percentage of the population with tags is very low and readers aren't cheap (about 30k per 3 lanes of traffic).
Even when EZ-Pass data is collected it's not directly linked to your credit card, only the authority you have your tag through (NY, NJ, MD, VA, MASS etc) has your credit card info, and all of them have privacy agreements that keeps your info with that agency alone. If you go through a plaza or somewhere they use tags for traffic monitoring all they see is tag number, who issued it, and the status (Good, Bad, Stolen...) I use to work for an issuing agency and even if i had a tag that ran our booths without paying there was no way that other agency was giving me any personal info without a search warrant.
Oh and you didn't get a ticket because EZ-Pass caught you speeding, tags are only read once and can't calculate speed. You want to blame something blame the treadle you drove over.
As things stand customers who lose CBS affilates get $1, all customers who lose MTV get $1. However we all know the fee Dish was paying Viacom is more then this. So as things stand with the $2 max payout, Dish is actually making money off of this. Sure they're fighting the good fight against the big bad network, but while no one is looking they're bending over their own customer base.
Write them (CEOofDishNetwork@Dishnetwork.com), call them (1-800-333-dish), let them know you support their effort to stop carson daily and friends from their quest for world domination, but that no one should be making money off of the fight, espically if we're serving as their minons calling CBS and complaining. Give us our money, keep your endless cribs marathons.
Why didn't they use bullet time in the sex scene? And more importantly will the directors cut dvd explain why neo was having sex in a pizza oven? Is that where we'll do it in the future? If so i'm gonna grab up some of that uno's stock.
Okay So if i have tivo with my directv service, where i already get a guide what the hell am i paying for? Granted you pay less with directtv to have tivo ($5 instead of 12) but still i'm paying 5 bucks to have access to a guide i already have access to. Really it's 5 dollars so i can press record, which just seems silly.
While a superman batman movie could be somewhat interesting has anyone stopped to think that jason doesn't talk, which would put a damper on the diolouge in any jason v freddy movie. I mean what good is freddy if his taunting goes compleatly unmatched. If the movie actually goes down it would have to consit of freddy mocking jason, jason doing some porn breathing, freddy mocks jason again, then jason just appears behind him and stabs him. But jason can't die, he's a virgin read some movie law.
There were a ton of rio's on ebay from 40 up. I picked two up for less then sonicblue sells one. (They still have them for around 169) With those and a $30 dollar ibm i picked up I've got a great setup working. My ibm sits in my darkroom and my rio recivers are anywhere in the home i can reach with a network cable. No problem running the 2 rio players off the one pentium, and with the extra 1350 I figure I can buy me one of them new fangeled russin brides.
I've attended 3 universities in my carrer in two different countries, and it's strange but only the big name university had us use anything Microsoft (Then again their CS degree wasn't acreditied, hmm i wonder...) The smaller university actually forces us to turn in all work so it runs on unix, and encourge us to do our work on unix or linux machines. It's a shame they don't explain it more though, as i know only a few students who realize connecting to the university machines over telnet isn't the only way to use compatible formats. While few would agree i'd say a plesent mixture is good, because it is a sad day when you have to take hours explaining to an english major who's hogging lab time that his email can be checked from home.
