"Why even bother selling the Wii's on ebay (and paying ebay fees)? These things are in such great demand why not price them based on what the market will stand."
This isn't ISP related but I remember when Fido (GSM) use to be a great alternative. As soon as they were bought by Roger's they started to merge the networks... ever since then I've had crap cell service. The worst is when I have messages in my voicemail but no missed calls appear. I leave my phone on 24/7/365!
I canceled out of spite and went with a pre-paid PC phone. Sure the phone is lame but I'm voting with my dollars.
Smoke a phat one, I'm not getting "Roger'd" anymore.
We're finally catching up to movies now... you know the cheesy and disconnected from reality sequence where some hackers enters a system by navigating a 3D maze... and the firewall is a monster you have to literally kill. The movie Masterminds comes to mind.
"This headline needs rewriting as "Man wins Pyrrhic Victory". $7500 worse off and he didn't even get an apology. Hell, if he'd actually been shoplifting he'd have got a smaller fine than that."
I hadn't even thought of that. What would the fine have been for shoplifting???
""Price Gouging" is for life-essentials - like food, water, shelter. A cellphone plan isn't a life essential."
I agree. When I was selling Nintendo Wiis during Xmas for $450 people kept saying I was a price gouging sack of $%@*. Now I know it's not true:). Thanks for clearing that up.
"Assuming the lawsuit is successful, they'll just roll the $7 fee into the base price for ALL of their plans. So my $20/mo plan will become a $26.95/mo plan. Big whoop."
It is a Big Whoop. PC Mobile doesn't charge the System Access Fee and I always just assumed they did. I'd rather cell companies advertise $26.95/month because that's what they actually &*%#@ charge! Oh... and paying $4/month for them NOT TO BLOCK call display? Blow me! I don't have a home phone. I have a cell and skype... one day I'll just have WiFi and VoIP. Cell companies should fear WiFi phones... if/when that catches on it'll be payback!
This happened when I was going to University as well. We had an option of taking Math 113 or Math 114. One was an intro to Calculus while the other was a continuation for people with some High School exposure. In the end they both prepared you for Math 115. Most people I knew took Math 113 because it was far better to get scaled on a bell curve with calculus noobs.
I'd like to say in the end the Math 114 guys were better off but that wasn't the case. It was just harder problems and fewer high end grades to go around without noobs soaking up all the below averages.
You're an idiot. Way to misplace blame. I bet you use this one on your kids too: "Don't get angry at me for spanking you, it was the belt. I never hit you.. the belt did, honest. Let's get angry at the belt together!"
If they want to keep on par with the US they better not omit the important areas like "Intelligent Design". Clearly, the US will dominate in this field in the coming years!:)
If I were Verizon, I'd be plugging the hell out of the 5G limit. I'd call it "Data 5G"
Your company will never be able to compete with my 5000M limit account. It's called the "Data 5000M". For only $10 more you can upgrade to the "Data 5,000,000K account"!!!
Yes, uranium too. No, you don't "burn" it, but there's less left than most people imagine. I think I remember we have enough for 40 years, provided we don't increase our demand.
Who keeps spreading the rumor that our uranium supply will only last in the order of decades?!?! Start spreading the truth!
"In summary, the actual recoverable uranium supply is likely to be enough to last several hundred (up to 1000) years, even using standard reactors. With breeders, it is essentially infinite. Hundreds of thousands of years is certainly enough time to develop fusion power, or renewable sources that can meet all our power needs."
Just checked and I have 4552. I was holding onto it hoping it would get hacked but my patience is running out. I hardly touch it. I use my XBOX1 a couple times a week but the XBOX360 is junk. The media capabilities are a joke compared to XBMC on xbox.
Machines built at the molecular level can't wear out. There's either enough energy to break the bond at the molecular level or there's not. Just run it within spec. and it'll never break.
Plant a fake bomb (made to look like a bomb) == No Charges

So where does one get a PSP microphone? Or is it built in?
How is this a bad thing? Requiring a PI license would imply some level of legitimacy.
"So long as computer forensic specialist implies a PI license" AND NOT "a PI license implies a computer forensic specialist".

>I>they could build some copper mesh into the walls creating a faraday cage in the establishment

Thanks to the global housing boom and the decline of the US dollar... are you aware of the price of copper?
$1US -> $3.5US in 4 years
This is blatant copy infringement from Half Life 2. That suit is a replica of the Combine Metrocops. http://www.hlfallout.net/images/content/enemies/full/metrocop_full.jpg

1. Accuse someone of supporting terrorists in Iraq
2. Seize their assests
3. Wait for the 'victim' to die
4. Profit
Wait, I forgot the ???? part of the joke. Gee, I guess it wasn't needed.

Why don't they just quietly rig an electronic voting system.... it's been successful before without people revolting?!

+5 flamebait, +5 sad but true
do we really at this point need be kept informed of the breaking development that yes, new technologies will be used by criminals
