"all we got was a warning after 10-12G that we'd be reduced to dialup speeds."
This is how it should be. Charging for simply enabling another device to use bandwidth that you're ALREADY paying for is fucking stupid. I don't even understand how that makes sense or why customers would tolerate it.
Anywho - with that said - which companies out there offer android/iphones, allow tethering, and don't ream their customers? I'm an ATT customer (since 2003) and pretty much ready to jump ship.
You pose a lot of similar questions I have - none of which I really have answers to.
Something I'm wondering though - will western intervention adulterate the middle eastern causes? Will it be twisted from being something the people initiated to something that was "really" a part of the "imperialists' agenda"?
An interesting point made was with this post, in that the nations there are also requesting for help with this from the UN.
I see your point (and pondered it myself as I posted the parent), but is time really something tangible we can manipulate?
I find it to be a bit of a stretch to view as something that we can actually shift around and tie into knots. It's much more realistic that we could only adjust our perception of forward-moving time (such as possibly being frozen for a thousand years while doing interstellar travel as a random example).
Now I know I might get flogged for this - but time, IMHO, is merely a measure of a sequence of events. To say you can go backwards in time is like saying you measured something one foot long from the other side this time. It didn't turn into -1 foot long. Is it really possible to you that we could alter our reality today by changing our past? As someone mentioned elsewhere - what if you went into the past and shot yourself. Do you still exist?
Glad I'm not the only one who has speculated similar. A lot of my friends wont even approach the subject which strikes me as odd considering practically everyone is doing it or thinking about it. Yet it's disgusting when others are enjoying themselves? Bah.

I read through their other comments - apparently that's their thing.
Frak, sorry for the double post. Thought the first didn't due to me missing the submit button after I stepped away from the comp. Kind of funny to see how I rephrased the second message from the memory of the first though.:)
I actually wasn't expecting much from your music (as everyone who puts a song on the internet can become a "musician") but seriously I was rather surprised. Really hit the spot with what I was in the mood for too - so thanks.:)
You know...I honestly wasn't expecting your music to be that good (because hell, everyone's a musician these days)...but it kind of hit the spot for me today. +5 points to good timing, sir.
Because (afaik) businesses don't have the ability to obtain a warrant. End of story.
I was commenting on the fact the parent was acting as if the FBI didn't have a right at ALL to search them. They do within in their legal bounds. The issue isn't that they were tracking the guy - the issue is that of warrant/no warrant.
Same. I'm 100% for due process. When they start skirting that is when they start irking the hell out of me. Checks and balances exist to be used, not avoided. If they can be circumvented then the system is broken.
"You can't break-into someone's house to gather evidence just because you feel like it."
Change "because you feel like it" to "because you obtained a warrant". I wasn't commenting on this particular case - moreso saying that the FBI DOES have a right to search you if they follow the processes. The parent was acting as if no one had a right to search him ever.
If anyone has any information to substantiate the claim of "It's beyond ironic that leaked US State Department cables have contributed to revolution and revolt in the Middle East" I'd like to see it.
Purely curious here. I feel like I missed something huge.

That's a negative.

Ahh, learned something new today. Thanks. :)

Like?
That's a bit annoying. I thought it was a good starting point for discussion.

Am I the only one who gets absolutely frustrated that people are still proposing the possibility of time-travel?
This is why I can't party with my theoretical physicist friends anymore.
Same thing I'm wondering. I'm immensely glad a company finally has the foresight to at least give it a try.

Wasn't just you so don't feel too bad.
Still...reminds me of this: http://xkcd.com/605/

Technically it does. You might just have to chase it around a little. ;)

Also - good insight on the topic.

To be the devil's advocate - gathering evidence IS the attempt of proving guilt.
Interesting read. Thanks!
I was wondering the same thing.

Validate your statement and earn yourself some credibility. If you can correct misinformation - help teach. If not, kindly stfu and gtfo.
