I have to presume they would check the name and account number on your credit card and see if it matches any accounts in your report, which would offer 1 more hurdle of security by requiring you to have physical possession of the card (they always ask for CVV2 code). While this makes sense, can't they go through all the motions of a credit card transaction without actually charging any money. It would have the same result and it wouldn't have to cost $10.
If there were any justice at all in the Universe, any statement by Verizon declaring it's support with consumers, or battling for them, would lead to the entire board of directors' heads exploding simultaneously while a hundred rabid ducks danced about singing "I'm Popeye the Sailor Man".
But there's no justice in the universe. Just judges. And lawyers, don't forget the lawyers.
With prices starting at $499, it could not be that much of a subsidy. At least compared with other $500+ phones... Everything I've read on the subject suggests the iphone is not subsidized.
This was due to the default resolution being lower than required, for the window size of the install program. (So it wasn't possible to complete options in the installer windows and so continue with the install, using that program).
[alt+leftmousebutton] will allow you to drag the window around as needed from any part of that window. Should have been a tip during install. I found this out by accident.
OTOH, one of the ways drugs were smuggled was inside a bag, inside a liquid. It makes it harder for the drug dogs to smell it, as the scent is masked by the liquid. This is why you are limited to 100ml, in a clear plastic bag.
I suppose that's plausible, however, given no upper limit for the amount of liquids allowed on checked luggage these precautions seem pointless. Besides, smuggling drugs is a point A to point B deal, no need to have them within immediate reach. If you could clarify though...

Maybe they were running CAMS on Windows Millenium Edition.
Well, Windows ME is bad enough, but what's worse is they should have been running IMDS!
I have no idea if the iPhone is subsidised.

I have just one thing to say:
"Papers, please."
That's the first thing that came to mind when I read the subject.
Damn, I previewed and I still messed up.
It should have been:
"We smoke while we shoot the zerg!"
Oh well. Live and learn.
10 years no smoking hes gotta smoke when hes killing zerglings
"We smoke while shoot the Zerg!"
The submission title reminded me of a certain Men At Work music video. Not quite the same circumstances, but a cigarette is involved regardless.
I, for one, welcome our new starcrafting overlords!
Spawn more overlords!
Another bit of a gut check for the Rectum Insertion Academy of America.
A taste of their own medicine, if you will.
Here you go.
I like Dr Merrick's desktop in "The Island". I also liked th thumb-index finger PDA from "2057"
They'll peg the CPU, that way it'll be warm all the time. And since they can be set as an idle process they'll step aside as needed.
So the lesson is, I suppose, that if you screw with Vista 64's kernel, prepare to die :-P
Yes, but will it melt faces?
Hell, all the Federation needed to do was give Deanna Troi a bowl cut and long eyebrows and she fit in in appearance with the Romulan society.
And that's exactly what they did.
The most memorable starts with "Hey, watch this!"
I've seen some good ones start out with:
"Gentlemen, behold!"
They're way ahead of you: http://carnage.fanfic.org/roujinz.html
I guess cracking the IRS dbase isn't so impressive. Poor Trinity. ^_^
Yeah, because if it's stylish, it can't possibly be functional, right?

Or how about Master Shake's Happy Birthday song?
But what would I know?
Who can remember?!
It was both, but we measured the outcome. ^_^
P.S.: And I for one, welcome our pedantic overlords.
