    Currently i pay 50.00 a month for unlimited text, data, and voice, i can even tether it to my laptop.

    Funny, I pay $92/m for unlimited texts, supposedly unlimited data, and 500 voice minutes. I cannot tether without incurring a $20/m charge.

    Yes, well, 250MB is a stupidly low cap and whoever decided that should be the minimum point needs to be stabbed with a sharp pencil.

    Nit pick: yes it will (but not to an extent where it will matter).

    Less overhead. If you have one connection (and one authentication handshake) wrapped around a 500mb block of data, this will consume less bytes than 5 connections (with their associated authentication handshakes) wrapped around 5 100mb blocks of data.

    Maybe we can get back to ten cents a minute - maybe the kids would no longer be so fat, when they were forced by economics to go out and play basketball and baseball for entertainment rather than being glued to the innernetz...

    Yea... no. That won't work. They'll find something else to do, like read or paint. Not everyone enjoys physical sports. The internet just makes it easier to not bother, but is far from the sole facilitator.

    Besides that won't even get them away from the computer. I remember quite well how I would be glued to the computer, even when I couldn't dial-out because my sister was busy tying up the phone line for hours. We'd have a renaissance of single-player focused gaming.

    Sure. He's worried about being raped, not necessarily by someone who's gay. In other words, he doesn't trust his roommate. There's not enough given context to associate it to homophobia.

    Merril Edge, for me. Cost me $6.95 in commission. No periodic/maintenance fees and there was no minimum deposit required to open the account.

    If you somehow have more than $250k assets under them, you get 30 or so trades per month with no commission. I don't see myself getting there for a VERY long time, TBH. It was the reasonable per-trade cost and no minimum that "sold" me into them. Everyone else wants me to deposit between $500 and $2000 to even get started (fuck that!)
