Haven't RTFA, but last week my bro mentioned that when he moved to a Virginia town an hour outside of Washington, D.C., ATT wouldn't even offer him cell service, finally saying when pressed that they had a computer meltdown that resulted in an at least month-long, nationwide freeze on signing up new cellular customers. Ouch, says the bottom line. This was in the September-November timeframe.
At the time I wondered if their selling themselves to the highester bidder a few months later was related.
Is the P900 at all fragile? No, I'm not being "reasonable". My 2-year-old Moto P180?280 Timeport somesuch has lived in my jeans back pocket, been dropped onto concrete innumerable times, finally cracked the plastic LCD cover, and still works like a champ. (I'm in the boonies, right at the edge of the only nearby cell.) That fancy P900 just looks a bit fragile to me--thinking of the 6620, anyway.
Can anyone point me to an authoritative but plain-English review of this whole broadcast controversy? I don't want to wade through FCC documents, nor do I want to continue piecing together sometimes-contradictory/. comments?
I'm going to Google now, to avoid the flames telling me to Google for it myself.
A couple of weeks ago I bought some Gillette Mach 3 non-Turbo blades at the WalMart in Leavenworth, KS. Mindful of this sites coverage, I looked around. Besides the camara pointed at the Mach3 display, there was a plastic, 2 1/2 foot PVC pipe sticking out of a crude hole through the drop ceiling. This was right over the Gillette Mach 3 display. Antenna for RFID system? And, a couple of feet farther, an 802.11 access point was affixed to a structural column, up by the ceiling. Network connection for RFID system? Examining the packaging at home, I noticed the magnetic door-alarm strip was notably absent from the razor packaging, presumably replaced by a too-small-to-be-obvious RFID tag. Thanks for the heads-up, slashdot.
Um, that's not a fragment. It just ends with a compound adjective in the predicate nominative. Check the grammar section of any freshman composition textbook for verification. Or, disbelieve and flame.
By the way, "I watered the garden, it was very dry" is a comma splice. "Unfortunately, water usage" is a fragment.
Same thing with living in the country. I grew up in cities/suburbs, except for 4 years wa-ay out in the country during HS. After 25 years, I'm back in the country, due to a death in family. Except this time, even with only dialup, I don't feel trapped in the hinterlands. And, yes, I'm taking college classes online.
It's different both ways. I'm going to college from 20 miles out in the country, and I like living here because a global perspective is only a local phone call away. (The national calling plan on me cell helps, too.)
Ask Slashdot should be reserved for important things, like whether Go rulez more than Chess, or endless speculation on who will play the Empire State Building in the new Peter Jackson version of King Kong
I thought that was just another one of the 4/1 stories. They were wall-to-wall.
Go ahead and laugh--I'm becoming a Registered Nurse. Got tired of the whole "not-enough-experience"/H.R. weasels looking at me like I'm an idiot. I couldn't support myself long enough to get a "real" job after college, so took anything to pay the rent. I've bagged groceries--the union gave me a great BCBS health plan for $5/wk. Then they hold that pay-the-rent-job against you. YMMV.
When I graduate as a R.N. in Dec 2004, I can get full-time pay & benefits for working 2 12-hr shifts on weekends. The rest of the week (M-F) I'll be figuring out who my next company's customers will be, maybe in biotech, definitely IT-related.
P.S. Nursing's easy--straight A's at a little community college where most of the students just want to get out of Taco Bell/Wal-Mart. It's the real world, dude. Get used to it.

Just tried this myself (W2K/Moz1.4)--no go. The plugin installer runs, but doesn't appear in Moz and the sample images remain unrendered. Poo.

Dude--I'm in nursing school for RN. Dot-bust did me in, sorta'. Tell me how you like nursing, etc. Just assuming you're male.
Ad astra per aspera You from Kansas? Just wondering. My Visor hasn't been powered up in a year or two, too.
How high up are the antennas? What kind of antennaes are you using? P.S. Kinda' wondered if you tested them first empty.
Do you still have to put "PMB" as a line of the address? (To cut down on "Suite 7800" scams being run out of these private mail boxes.)
