  5. Did you ever hear a greenie complain about people using a bus? Well, go to SF.

    I've heard it, and I couldn't even reply. Sometimes a leftard says something so unbelievably idiotic that it's not even worth calling them an idiot.

    It's never Apple's problem. It's always "you're doing it wrong".

    Bullshit. The single time I had a hardware issue with an iPhone (stuck sleep/wake button), I took it to the store, showed them the issue, had my SIM transferred to a new unit and was walking out the door 15 minutes later.

    If wind power proves to be profitable, the Koch brothers would invest in it. They're businessmen, not emotion-driven zealots for oil.

  15. Sweet! on T-Mobile Brings Back Unlimited Data For All (cnet.com) · · Score: 3

    I switched to T-Mobile when I got my latest phone. I had an original, grandfathered AT&T unlimited data plan since the first iPhone came out, and switching saved me about $30/month already. So now it's going to drop again? Cool.

    I'm also seeing LTE speeds from 70-80Mbps on the average, and the highest I ever saw on AT&T was 20 or so.

    Evidence does not exonerate anyone, it can only be used to prove guilt.

    That is entirely wrong. Evidence can support either side of a case. If you're charged with a crime, and someone testifies that you were somewhere else at the time in question, that alibi is evidence that exonerates you.
