  2. Re:I'll change my number on FCC Still Pushing for Number Portability on Nov. 24 · · Score: 0
    Uhm you do realize $8 After 30-60 days (around $20-$40 maximum) I ended the previous service.....
    I have a few customers right now who are waiting for portability, but I've heard it may cost $3 to $8 a month to keep your old number. This is crazy! Keep the old number for a few months, pay the monthly charges, and do what I've done -- set up your own "new number information" message.

  10. Re:$750 - $150,000?? And What If I'm Not the O.I. on 'Jane Doe' Lawyer Glenn Peterson Talks With GrepLaw · · Score: 1

    So in theory.. They can only charge for one song ONCE.. So if I am sharing Britney's Hit Me Baby and they make me pay 150K. They shouldn't be able to force you to pay 150K?

  16. Re:Communication a problem? on Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office · · Score: 1

    What is SLAPP? Defamation is one thing.. An opinion article is something completely different. It should never be illegal to state your opinion.

  17. Re:Communication a problem? on Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office · · Score: 1

    I agree.. Its just odd and a little bit scary that they're saying SMSing is doing in movies. When in fact its the crap movie that is the problem.
