Yes you could go to T-Mobile in the US, you just would not have 3G.. and if you think that is "usesless".. well not quite.. for example, I am on T-Mobile, and I went to Europe recently.. of course no 3G due to the freq differences.. but I still had Edge, and you know it wasn't that bad.. I could still use Google maps and navigation with Edge for some directions, and access some web pages.. Phone wise (it is a phone) if worked flawlessly.. Would I only want to "live on the Edge".. probably not.. BTW.. although LTE may seem like the answer, I don't think it will be.. I think the carriers (all of them).. like things a bit incompatible as they are.. I highly doubt they are going to fix it. and if they do, it will be a decade before things are truly swappable between carriers.
Yep they should have forced you to get a new card.. That's what happened to me, way back when, with Wamu.. I had sent some money using my card via Western Union (and it wasn't even online).. well Western Union got hacked and gave Wamu a list of card numbers they thought might have been taken apparently.. Wamu just deactivated my card.. no warning.. had to call and find out that a new card was on the way. (had about 3 days with no card).. If I had been traveling, I would have been pissed.. but it was a minor inconvenience to go to the bank til the new card came.
Not to mention that the suspected cause of the whole thing is the cement job,, contracted by BP to Haliburton.. I'm sure people know who Haliburton is.. Once again the Dems have another Rep mess to cleanup, and the "look how fucked up your doing the job of cleaning up our mess" comments that go with it.
Well haven't done it enough lately.. but I'll have some more data soon enough.. My last two trips cross the pond, I was on American for the first of these 2, and it was such a comfortable flight on an MD 11 that I specifically looked to take an MD 11 on the next flight, and the only flight I found was KLM.. Service wise, I could not say either was better than the other.. As to comfort, I was more comfortable on the American flight that had more room.. ride wise, I still hold the MD 11 as the smoothest plane I have ridden to date.. In a few weeks, I get to experience British Airways.. assuming the damn volcano will let me.
Chrome will have no impact, positive nor negative, upon anyone's opinion of Linux-based OSes
Exactly.. Why everyone went all hilly and nilly analyzing Android and Apple OS's without addressing the main (I'll call it a point) of the article, is one of those things that make me ponder a society based on learning everything they need know from TV commercials.
It seems rational.. but everything leading up to this rationality is not.. If the same thing happened to any of about 308,990,000 of the 309,000,000 people in the US absolutely nothing anywhere near this result would occur.. That there is such a result is an insult.. and sounds more like people behind the scenes trying to give worth, to a worthless person.. I am absolutely astounded that people see anything of value or promise in her.. my god, I could find a stripper in Las Vegas that would make a better candidate for ANY office than her.. in fact I could find several dozen.. In fact I think I'll try doing that..
Well using the DC style guide.. (note DC would be DC using the BBC style guide).. You would have to pronounce "Klit" "Pez" "Yaxm" to determine the proper spelling.. If that doesn't work, we'll try agoin later in 90 days.
The whole.. "but it has to rely on Google and Microsoft for software" is an overstatement.. They are pretty good at developing some software on their own.. Android changed the game.. and they are in a comfortable position, and hardly "dependent" on Google. The relationship seems to be a good one, and both benefit.
Actually fiber is available in many places, with hardly anyone buying it.. I think that is the bigger problem.. It's more like there is supply, but no demand.
My experience has been that for the most part, whenever I needed an answer the answer was available online somewhere.. It's probably more a matter of dealing with repeated questions where answers are already out there, that cause some "rudeness". This is also not limited to Linux.. any tech sector has groups of users who have obtained a level of knowledge that required some effort and time.. when other users who haven't learned some basics attempt to have all there problems solved for them by someone else, without learning anything on their own, you can see how the users who have spent the time might become annoyed.. It's simple, newbies have to go for answers where newbies questions are answered.. when they obtain a level of understanding of advanced users, then their questions will be answered by advanced users..
I think that the point is.. There has to be a happy medium. Increasing profits at the expense of employees, to meet growth goals, may make for happy investors (who don't have to work long days for pennies), but it's not ethical on a human level. Not every business should be expected to have never ending growth.. I know I haven't had never ending growth in my paycheck.
SMS survives only because there are people without data plans.. People who have a data plan often add in small SMS plan to their phone because they have some friends who still don't have a data plan.. as data plans increase, there will be less people who do this.. I pay a little extra for SMS, but not for much longer.
I also know that methadone and buprenorphine treatments are not very effective.. essentially trading one drug abuse for another. If used for short term, followed by a real program such as NA then there "might" be a chance of recovery. Perhaps they are doing something like that, I don't know.. all I really know, is that my initial statement stands.. there is no legalized drug Utopia.
That article is retarded.. It points to this fact "the number of people on methadone and buprenorphine treatment for drug addiction rose to 14,877 from 6,040, after decriminalization, as a statistic of success.. Increasing the number of sick people is not success..
And as people die or kill other people with the "legal drugs".. lawyers everywhere rejoice.. The whole utopia of legalized drugs that people imagine, doesn't exist.. Making it easier for people to ruin their lives with addiction, would not be a pretty sight.. and your trading the tragedy of crimes by criminals for a new set of tragedies. There are also people, believe it or not, who don't do things because they are against the law.. Some of these people are spared the nightmare of addiction.. and that is a good thing.. Go to an NA meeting and listen to some stories.. oh wait, you probably wouldn't want to waste any time with those "losers who can't handle it", and will continue to support "freedom to make it easier to ruin your life".
Attendance is really important, I'll agree with that one.. I do have to wonder though, how adults would feel if they had to go to work for 8 hours and then have to come home and spend several more hours doing homework. That it has been the norm, doesn't mean it is the best way to do things.
There was a time.. Seems long ago.. When geeks were called grease monkeys.. They used to mix and match different automotive components to create their own personal version of the ultimate automobile.. Try that carb with that manifold on that engine with that transmission and that differential.. on an on.. To me, the IBM based PC became my version of doing this. Just as the majority of people do not want to build their own car, the majority of people don't want to build their own computer.. but for those of us who do, it's hard for us to imagine such a machine as being "personal" any more that the old grease monkey would consider a stock assembly line car as personal.
Whose mess is it ?.. If my house is a mess, is it my neighbors responsibility to clean it up ?.. Should I be resentful if they don't ?.. If they come into my house and start cleaning things up and break my stuff, should I still be grateful ?.. and how should I feel if they clean up my house but then decide to camp out in my house for a month ?
How long should we continue to be in the middle ?.. long overdue to let Iraq, sort out Iraq, and stop butting in.. If the "dictators" win, well then perhaps that is what Iraq wants. Iraq is not the 51st state of the US., Time to stop squandering money there to make the Haliburtons and KBR's richer. The previous regime is gone, the new one has been set up for several years now.. time to vacate completely, and let what happens happen.. and yes I feel the same about Afghanistan... Neither of these countries has paid a dime in US taxes.. We do not need to be their police force any longer. If they continue to create baddies that want to try and attack us, well then we'll just get back to the old days of surgical missile strikes.. done deal..No need to drag it on and on and on.
The Backflip is on Android 1.5.. This in itself is not too terrible, but that it was tweaked into a customized AT&T version with Google removed is not too comforting.. I would imagine that you will eventually get a 1.6 update, and then be able to run Goggles.. Or you may find that it becomes available later for 1.5... For example the Google Maps navigation was initially not available for 1.6, but came later.. I can't imagine there is anything that should prevent 1.5 from running Goggles, other than the smaller number of phones still on 1.5 and time to port it.. The second (in the US) Android phone came out like last August.. and with 1.5.. That's 8 months.. In the meantime we have seen 2.0 and 2.1 come out on phones.. and that 1.5 phone (the mytouch) was upgraded to 1.6

Science be damned.. I think they should drop depth charges, and keep dropping them until it stops.
My United domestic flights have sucked so badly, that I have refused to give them a try with international.. even though they have been cheaper.

And it also didn't include all the other Android gizmo's that are not smart phones.
They call it DSL Direct.. never heard of "naked DSL".. they also have heard of "dry loop".. but they call it DSL Direct.
