  3. Re:Good Fix... on New "Circuit Breaker" Imposed To Stop Market Crash · · Score: 1

    All I need to do is get a computer to collect all of those fractions of a cent where the numbers are rounded into other currencies.

  4. Re:Bastard on Geostationary GPS Satellite Galaxy 15 Out of Control · · Score: 1

    Yeah all the equipment on the satellite is stuck in the On position, so I could send a signal to it and start the first Pirate Satellite Television Network . . .

    They would need to be Dual Redundant backups which would increase costs a bit.

  9. Reverse Femtobarn on First Collisions At the LHC · · Score: 1

    If they could get all of those little Muons inside the Inverse Femtobarn and close the door, it would be a lot easier to study them . . .

  12. Re:Patience! on SETI Is 50 Years Old; No Sign of ET · · Score: 1

    But an elephant can't use it's trunk to build a radio transmitter to contact SETI and tell them that they exist. And an elephant probably wouldn't have any interest in doing that either. Plus somehow, I don't think an elephant has the intelligence or motivation to to research and develop the electronics it would take to make a functioning transmitter and receiver. Then I want to know what they have to say ?

    Skype does have settings to control the audio just like a speakerphone. My wife uses skype to call from the US to Russia and the she turns up the incoming audio rather loudly and the microphone is 2 feet away from her and it works wonderfully without a headset.

  17. Goodbye AT$T on Analyst Estimates AT&T Needs To Spend $5B To Catch Up · · Score: 1

    AT$T just keeps getting worse and worse. They were overcharging me a lot 10 years ago and I changed my service to Bellsouth and I was so much happier. Then AT$T bought Bellsouth and so I unhappily had AT$T again. Deciding to give them another chance I stayed with them. But then came the unexplained fees and hugely overcharging me for $899 for long distance service that should have been less than $20. So at the beginning of this year I discontinued their service again for a Cable phone service that is great and $10 less a month.

    I will never again let AT$T into my life !!

  18. Re:T-Mobile on Truth Or Dare — What Is the Best US Cell Company? · · Score: 1

    For Cell service I am also too happy with T-Mobile. They have great coverage here in the Southeast US which is probably why I like it so much. Plus talking with customer service isn't like a 1000 papercuts as with AT$T.

    My experience is that AT$T has pretty good coverage & service, but I was forever getting different extra unexplained charges that would never stop month after month. These were significant charges in the $100 range. And then there was the time that they tried to charge me $899 for long distance charges that should have been less than $20. I complained twice about it and they reduced the charges to $300 only overcharging me by $280. Since that day last year I have sworn to never again have anykind of AT$T service. At home I changed to home phone from the Cable company and I am too happy with it, and no more stupid extra charges.

  25. Re:When doves cry... on Former Congressman Learns About Streisand Effect · · Score: 1, Funny

    Oh , are we talking about Ted Alvin Klaudt? Cause if it's not Ted Alvin Klaudt I would hate to say something bad. But if it is Ted Alvin Klaudt then more people should know about Ted Alvin Klaudt. I'm assuming it is Ted Alvin Klaudt that we are talking about. Doesn't Ted Alvin Klaudt charge people 500 grand for using the Ted Alvin Klaudt name? then I guess I'll have to stop using Ted Alvin Klaudt's name or he might try to collect from me . . .
