Forced? Who the fuck is forced? Did AOL suddenly become a state-run organization? If you're going to talk about choice, how about look at the whole issue. People CHOOSE to be customers of AOL. Their continued use of AOL suggests agreement, whether verbal or not, of the policies of AOL. So nobody is forced.
I wish they'd use their influence for something more important. Like best fucking site in the world or even better: 12" cock. If it only takes 20 people to do that, I'd still have most of the morning to bask in the glow.
Yes. With Verizon Wirless for example you can dial *611 for customer service, 911 for emergencies. If you try and dial any other number, on the Verizon Wireless network, they route you to an operator. To make a call you must have a credit card, and it costs at least $1 per minute.
It varies by the network, but you still can make calls with a CC.
People, this isn't a ringing endorsement of Apple. It's nice how the marketing whips this fucking situation into a foamy fucking froth of fuzzy Apple lust, but the fact remains: IT'S THE ONLY MAC IN THE ENTIRE THEATER.
You'd better be well fucking financed for this little endeavor. It's no small fucking feat.
Where the fuck do I even begin? Good christ man.
1. Obtain license from FCC. Maybe you'll get luck and you can bid on a PCS license, something minor, like an F block. That's the cheap part. Depending on the area, you might get by with only paying a few hundred thousand. Or you might be a black jew from Greenland. Figure on spending a few million on this.
2. then hire a bunch of squirly fucks to do all sort of gypsy analysis on the area. with that license, it's use it or Lose is, hizzo. That includes all sorts of wacky fucking shit like topographic analysis and god knows what else.
3. So you'll need to put up a shitload of antenna sites to cover the mandated number of people. each site is pretty cheap at about $500,000. It might only take a a dozen or so, depending on where you buy your license.
4. Don't forget to hire a law firm to handle all the FCC related bullshit. I bet they're only a couple ten thousand a year.
I'm not fucking joking about this shit. It's next to fucking impossible to do, unless you're stonecold serious. And if you're asking slashdot, I highly doubt you are.
Get a satellite phone, or landline.
Maybe ditch the GSM phone? Analog works just about everywhere. A back phone is about $80 on eBay. Or you can do it the hard way.
tell me about it. but i tell you, it's imfuckingpossible to craft on a regular basis profane fucking, yet creative, slurs and epithets. it was late, and i had some ham in the fucking oven that required contant tending. jesus christ man, ever burn a ham? getting the oven clean after that is next to fucking impossible. you can't just put the thing on clean, or it will create such a horrid stink that you'll wish you could bury your head in a bucket of semisolid shit for a haven from the stench. i've done this. alarms went off, and powerful extingushing agents were required to quash the smoldering mess.
can be solved by a proper Google query? I searched Google, and all I found was Google.
[related links] What percentage of responses to an Ask Slashdot question that can be solved by a proper Google querty mention something along the lines of "Use Google?"
I call bullshit on this. The reason to use XHTML isn't because some standards nazi masturbates to good code. It's because XHTML provides long-term durability and significant portability as the world transitions to XML, and as non-desktop browsers, like phones and PDAs become more and more popular as browsing devices.
From a good source, here's some real answers as to the reasons behind XHTML.
Most people know how to walk before they get a bike. Most people know how to ride a bike before they drive a car. Most people know how to drive a car before they drive a semi truck.
You want to teach a class that's in essence taking pants shitting crawling toddlers crawling, and teaching them to drive a double clutch tractor trailer.
Sounds like you're out $200. Here's the thing to do:
1. Go to the bank. Withdraw $200. Get four fifties. 2. Find a skank bar. Drink, for four nights beginning Tuesday, $50 worth of booze nightly. Even at a fairly pricey bar, $50 will get you wasted. Be sure to get properly belligerent drunk. Accost people. Fondle women. Get some phone numbers, bruises, and a split lip. It really doesn't hurt that bad. A bloody lip heals in about four days. Plus, even if you win a fight, it still hurts just as bad as losing. Do wear robust boots, however. 3. On Saturday, when you're a hung-over pile, go gandi.net and register a new domain. It's about $12 yearly. Find some good web hosting. I found some for $5/month. Then, write about your drunken exploits.
Regarding the whole Cringly is wrong this: you didn't read the article. Or, you didn't pay attention to the article. He covers this. Clearly. Crystal fucking clearly. It's his whole argument. The central fucking thesis.
What a fucking joke. I've been reading this tripe for the past week. This writing here, the aforementioned tripe, that is how ass kissers write. People who fawn and masturbate over the idea of getting press credentials for a place that's just a little over their head.
Does this answer any of the 5 Ws? Not a one. It tells me nothing. Great, two super fucking massive companies, HP and IBM swallowed the convention space. And this means what? What the fuck are they selling? Dildoes? Handmade soap? Consumer shit? Server blades? Slaves? Chicken fat?
And what the fuck is this following paragraph? "How to get the best swag"
Was Miller there to actually work, or just collect free shit and brag about it?
I recognize that not everyone lives by my "carry nothing" trade show rule.
And I too recognize that not everyone realizes that people are not the least bit interested in the hokey personal anecdotes of free fucking mousepads.
For those of you who like to collect show goodies, I think the best way to get them is to see what other people are carrying, and if you spot someone carrying an interesting item, immediately ask them where they got it, then immediately try to go get one of the things for yourself.
Wow. I'm speechless. What insight. So the best thing to do is speak to other people?
The best stuff tends to run out early, so perhaps you should spend the first day of the show hunting swag, and the remaining time trying to learn.
Unfuckingbelieveable.
And this, this paragraph. This sickens me. Fucking ill.
As a journalist, easily recognizable as one because my badge said "MEDIA" on it, I could have collected all the swag I wanted, no problem. But I didn't. I was there to work, and running all over the place, and I didn't want to be encumbered by a bag full of anything. I have been to plenty of trade shows over the years, and I have collected enough t-shirts, caps, key chain flashlights, stuffed Tux dolls, and other goodies to last a lifetime. We won't even talk about the expensively-printed "media kits" exhibitors try to shove into the hands of unwary reporters. I could have ended up carrying 20 pounds of paper, all containing information easily available from the companies' Web sites. So no thanks, I do not want giveaways or media kits. I am happy to have nothing in my hands besides a pen and note pad. I am at the show to make contact with people I can later call when I need information for stories, not to be a pack horse.
You have got to be fucking joking. This guy labels himself a 'journalist'? I could gut a goat, stick a media badge on it, but does that make it a journlist? Where's the fucking insight? What has Miller provided except sophomoric anecdotes? A fucking angel food cake sitting on the conference floor would have provided more insight than this drivel. Horrid.
Here's the fundamental tenets of journalism: tell people who weren't there something significant that they otherwise wouldn't ever have known. It is not an rambling blog. This isn't journalism any more than a 6th graders report on the natual history museum is journalism. It's a rambling monologue devoid of content.
This has fucking disgraced journalism. The bush league fucking amateur night bullshit that passes for 'e-journalism' anymore is so fucking pedantic and trite as to redefine the benchmark for stupidity.
Similarly the water used would be less than a week's worth of showers.
That's not the point. Not at all. This is the Everyone Else is Doing it argument. And this isn't about overpopulation. The link you've created shouldn't have been created at all.
Indeed, people fuck far too often not caring about pregnancy. But that doesn't mean microchips still don't use copious amounts of water, or be recycled, or ever used again once past useful life.
Don't Sweat Missing the Point. This isn't small stuff. This is small stuff on a large scale. It's not about third world sex, eating beef, or driving a Lincoln Navigator. It's not about stop and go driving.
This is a big deal. The copious production of ram chips for foolish reasons. My internet porn never felt so good as it does with a new computer.
There's nothing wrong with caring about the environment.
Good. Maybe those motherless fucks at ESRI will quit assraping cartographers for a license to LZW compressed TIFFs in ArcInfo, those moneygrubbers. Price that shit out sometime. It's horrid. A 300 dpi TIFF of a 22x34" document is not for the faint of heart, or disk.

AOL forced this on their customers.
Forced? Who the fuck is forced? Did AOL suddenly become a state-run organization? If you're going to talk about choice, how about look at the whole issue. People CHOOSE to be customers of AOL. Their continued use of AOL suggests agreement, whether verbal or not, of the policies of AOL. So nobody is forced.
Well now, if he's referring to his private mail-reader settings, that's his choice, isn't it?
Your point? That doesn't mean it's not a stupid move.
I could shit on my dinner plates. That's my choice. Does that make it wise to shit on my dinner plates?
I long ago includedevery mail from aol.com, yahoo.com and hotmail.com in my static spam filters.
Is this a contest to see who is more ignorant? I'd put you as neck and neck with AOL in this respect.
This is much better than that. I want to hear about this hizzonova. Or the shizzonova.
I wish they'd use their influence for something more important. Like best fucking site in the world or even better: 12" cock. If it only takes 20 people to do that, I'd still have most of the morning to bask in the glow.

for fuck's sake man. the only reasonable answer is that it will expand the use of radiator belts and rotator splints.

Yeah, with information like that, I'd say it sounds sufuckingperbely written. Good coding job.
CDG ads are still my favorites. "Uh, I think I fried the motherboard. And the fatherboard."
"I tried fixing my laptop, but its still broken."

It's a shitty company that is essentially a purely roaming network, but despite being shitty this firm has the BEST fucking coverage maps EVER.
