Can I cancel agreement and stay on sans-contract?

Get Out of Sprint Free
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Does anyone know if I can use this to end my 2 year agreement but continue my Sprint service? I don't plan on switching carriers, but I would like to be able to sign a new agreement for an upgrade in a few months when the Pre comes out.
You're right on several of these points. I built my machine a year ago for about $600: Core 2 Duo 2.1GHz, 2GB DDR2, and an Intel motherboard. I threw in a Geforce 6600GT that I already had and that machine has been able to handle just about everything I wanted to play on it. I recently ordered an 8800GT to replace my aging 6600GT, but that still puts the total cost at under $800.
One thing I would argue on is Assassin's Creed. My younger brother bought it for PC, and I found it to be fairly hardware intensive... on his laptop (C2D 2.1, 1GB DDR2, 128MB GF 8400) it wouldn't run *at all* until we added another 2GB of RAM, and even then it has to be kept on low settings and 800x600 to be playable
One you can buy today, one is a possible future offering from Google, T-Mobile and HTC.
One you can buy, and use on any GSM network, one is tied to a particular network, just like the iPhone.
Where was it ever stated that Android would be tied to T-Mobile? T-Mobile is offering the first Android phone, but from what I've read, the other carriers will follow suit.
I'm curious as to how your experiences have been with 3d in other virtualization software. As of yesterday, I couldn't even get Counter-strike:Source to open in VMWare (which is hardly resource-intensive by today's standards), let alone play; my experiences in Parallels, while less recent, have been pretty much the same. I've of course tried several other games with similar results. Maybe their 3d goals are more CAD/workstation-oriented, but that's frankly irrelevant to me.
Anyone else with some insight?
I can run CS:S in a VM decently. On default settings it gets 35fps in the included stress test. Note that only Workstation 6.5 has support for DirectX 9 in guests, WS 6.0 does not.
There's a reason for this. It's so they can still display 4:3 content easily without distortion
for instance, i just ordered a laptop with a 1920x1200 display, so it can show a 1600x1200 image in the center of the screen
likewise:
1280x768 -> 1024x768
1680x1050 -> 1400x1050
I actually thought it was very true to the book, except for a few minor things. I saw it on Saturday and reread the book today. As far as movie adaptations go, I was impressed, several passages were taken word for word from the novel
Notice the inclusion of a RC0 build, which is unusual. The last time Microsoft shipped an RC0 build of a Windows product, I believe, was with Windows Millennium Edition (Me). RC0 releases are typically designed to give Microsoft's hardware and software partners enough time to develop drivers and compatible software in time for the final release of a product.
Does that mean Longhorn will be more like ME then?
It does, but it doesn't add *all* the features that the Google toolbar for IE had. Personally, I'm content w/ what comes with firefox has, but some people want features such as highlighting all instances of a search term, etc.
Out of curiosity, why am I modded offtopic for answering someone's question?

I would start with A again, and call the new release simply Animal Adjective.
wouldn't it be Adjective Animal?

yes it still is, and the RC of Server 2.0 is out as well, not to mention that ESXi is also free as of a few days ago

Inconceivable!

Really, I call it "A New Hope"
Thats why I love eclipse, auto-indenting (Ctrl Shift F) comes in handy when fixing other peoples' code

There is a toolbar for firefox: check here: http://www.firefoxtoolbar.com/
