BTW I LOVE SUBWAY. the food taste great and is fairly healthy for you compared to McD's and others. I just think the whole doctors associates thing is a little underhanded and sneaky.
The subway example is intentional. You ever see where they toot their own horn on how good their food is for you. They usually have something saying endorsed by doctors associates something or other. Its them endorsing their own stuff, but it looks like a bunch of doctors got together and said "yes this is good for you, eat it right now"
"I can say that I have experience in social media with a lot of user stickiness." Maybe you should be experiencing things with different users. Maybe ones who shower?
AT&T: Yes, How can I help you. Customer: For some reason I cant get to my favorite adult sites anymore. AT&T: Ok sir I will be more than happy to assist you. First I will need your name, and address please. Customer: umm, this information is kept confidential right? AT&T: Sir I need you name and address information to look up your account. Customer: Umm, OK here it is. John Publick I live at 1248 Main street in Somewhere New York. AT&T: One moment while I bring up that account please.............. AT&T Ok sir I have that account information up. Could you verify the phone number on the account please. Customer: Sure its 1-555-1212. AT&T: Thank You. And You would like to Opt in to being able to look at filthy disgusting porn in the privacy of your own dank, dark basement? Customer: Excuse me??? AT&T: Did you want to opt in to being able to view adult material? Customer: Yes, yes I do that is why I called? AT&T: To opt into accepting the.xxx domain you will be charged a 1 time fee of $5.00 Customer: What? That's stupid. Well it is only 5 dollars. OK I guess. AT&T: OK we have you set up to be able to view.xxx domains for a 1 time fee of $5 per month. Customer: What? You said it was a one time fee! AT&T: It is a 1 time fee sir. 1 Time per month. Customer: That's outrageous. Damn it ok fine you raised my rates by $5 per month. AT&T: Would you also like to download from these sites sir? Customer: Of course I want to download from the sites , that's why I'm going to them. AT&T: AT&T has set up a new service you might want to get then. Right now when you download from a.XXX domain it counts as triple the download. So if you were to download a 1 gig file it would count towards your cap as 3 gigs, but if you sign up for the Adult plan it will only count as double. And its only $5.00 per month. Customer: You want to charge me another $5 a month???? AT&T: I am just reading the available offers to you sir, you do not have to accept them. Customer: OK OK FINE DAMN IT. AT&T: Would you also like to opt out of AT&T selling this information to our third party partners? Customer: Huh? What third party partners? AT&T: In your area our 3rd party partners are. The Local PTA, Mothers Against Porn, The Local Police Department, The local school system, The Local Churches against Immorality, your wife and your boss. Also opting out will stop any fliers from being sent to your home describing exactly what kind of porn you are watching and how often you watch it. Customer: What, NO, You cant do that. You would ruin my reputation and my marriage. What kind of sick bastards are you? Cancel the whole damn thing, as a matter of fact cancel my AT&T account. AT&T: I am sorry sir your order has already gone through. Would You like to opt out of the Third party information network? its only $50 per month, however AT&T withholds the right to change the terms of service and or prices at any time. Customer:Ok fine Ill do this for 1 month then cancel and you wont see me again ever, bastards. AT&T: I'm sorry sir those prices are with a 6 month agreement. Customer: Fine I will quit after 6 months then, you blackmailing %$*#$'s AT&T: We also have a program where AT&T wont send 6 well hung ex-porn stars to your house to gang rape you. Would you like to opt out of that sir??
True but it also makes it easy for ISPs and the like to just BLOCK all.xxx domains. And of course they will justify it by claiming to do it "For the children" or "For God" or "For the Public Good" Hell I wouldn't put it past them to do it "To stop the terrorists"
On an UNLIMITED plan.....Unlimited seems reasonable to me, and the dictionary. On a 2.5 Gig per month plan......2.5 Gigs per month sounds just as reasonable.
Saying that just because the Canadian plan sucks more than the American plan so the American plan is a good thing to have, is like saying "He has VD and she has cancer, gee I wish I had VD"
I disagree AC is not a fool. Hes a complete idiot. The first step to wisdom is calling a thing by its correct name. And yes it is important. If paypal is not a bank, then its not a damn bank. PERIOD. Paypal can get away with a lot more than a bank can. How many times have you heard of Paypal freezing someones account *and all of the $$$ in it? How many times have you ever heard of a bank doing that? With out a court order?? Just because you don't think the facts matter don't try to put down the rest of us who do.
Well, it's your right to think that way, but I'm sure you'd feel differently if you were blind, and your computer's screen-reader program was unable to parse important emails from your professor. No I think I would use a different Email application.
Trans ?? Are you trying to say you are a transvestite? Seriously, not trying to make a funny here (yet any way) But if you are seriously saying being a transvestite is a physical handicap.......
Why, that's simple. Greed and control. Now the big question is...... Do you even think (or research anything) before you post, or is it all just knee-jerk reaction for you?
No I think what ticks some people off is some half-wits who assume that just because they have no need for something that no one else will. Or that just because someone's needs are different than theirs that those people are somehow abnormal. Funny thing is usually when it comes to computers its the person saying that what we had yesterday was good enough is usually just behind the times and cant see the future when its staring them in the face.
Maybe you would I, but myself and other wont. Plus what do you think the reason they say they wont nail you till 3 months in is??? Do you think they are just being nice?? Nope thats not it. Maybe its because it they slapped everyone with overage fees people would notice that the service has changed in the first month and quit. Do you see why they are doing it. Most people don't bother reading their bills except for the numbers on them. So if the numbers dont go up they dont read the rest of it. AT&T is counting on that. In the first month of the change if you notice it you can claim they have changed the contract and then leave AT&T with no early termination fees. If you bought a bundle they have changed the whole thing by changing 1 thing, now you can drop the bundle without early termination fees. AT&T doesn't want that. They want to screw you over in one area without having to face the possibility of losing you as a customer. If you don't cancel until the 3rd month, then you have agreed to the new contract by default. You want to leave AT&T , no problem. Lets start counting up early termination fees. That is why they wont charge anyone for the first 3 months. To quote Admiral Akbar "IT'S A TRAP'
True but Parents have rights to force their children to do certain things. Like go to bed or do their choirs or eat their supper. Teachers have very limited rights to force students to do things. As for searching the child's cell phone, No they don't have that right and shouldn't have that right. Should they have the right to take away a cell phone and have the Principle or Vice Principle give it back after school? Yes. And if it becomes a reoccurring indecent then let the parents know about it, and let them know he/she is NOT to bring a cell phone to school anymore. If that doesn't help then suspend the child.
Plus kids grow up to be adults. Of course if you train them now to expect to have no rights, it makes it so much easyer when they are adults to take them away. Of course I'm sure that Big Brother was not thinking about that.
You forgot the part in Scenario 1 where Mark grows up to be a Police Officer. By not allowing bullies to be bullies, we are denying our future Police Officers valuable early childhood training. And without that early childhood training they will be less prepared to defend our children when they become Police Officers. Wont someone think of the children????
Teachers and other school officials are agents of the US Government. If we go by what you are saying , why bother with Police Officers investigating anything, just have teachers look into it. Saves time a dn effert getting search warrants.

With an attitude like that you'd better be!!!
just kidding
kind of

Not enough info. Please list sites where you saw that.
For educational reasons of course.

I would say the moral of the story is always try to cheat a DISHONEST SYSTEM.

Cricket has been around for quite awhile in the Knoxville TN area. I had them for awhile and never had a problem with them at all.
That sounds like an awesome title for a country song. "Take your Plan and Shove it"
Its just a pity its not our country singing it.
Saying that just because the Canadian plan sucks more than the American plan so the American plan is a good thing to have, is like saying "He has VD and she has cancer, gee I wish I had VD"
Reminds me of how I always write "Hookers and Crack" in the notes section on my checks that I write.
