  1. Simple answer... on Taxes On Cell Phones Hit All-Time High · · Score: 1

    Go prepaid. I Went from virgin to sprint, because I HAD to have an android. So of course 3 months later Virgin Mobile gets the same phone I got with sprint (the intercept) . Right now me and sprint aren't talking, and I'm not paying, still deciding if I'm going to go back to them or not. The only reason I would is because of my need to have the New 6G 5.4 inch Quad Core HTC PURECOCAINE ORGASM

    yea it came with a mod'd Win7 install I used. Didn't even know what it was, or use it for several months. It's now my favorite app EVER.

    yea I know about the work around read only solution. It's just horseshit that MS doesn't supply a read/write driver or whatever for every OS. (ubuntu)

    it not open source?? Someone more knowledgeable then me on the subject can expand this im sure. I just know that I recently started trying to learn linux, it not being able to read my windows partitions if f'n annoying.

    hmmmm very good idea. although I'm pretty f'n suprised clearwire hasn't throttled me yet, I guess they really need customers. I just passed 1 TB over the last 3 months

    except it's a backpack. that I carry on my back at all times. Satchel, carrier bags, et al, get carried in a manner similar to a purse

    . Seriously, even though I personally Torrent the shit outta every copyrighted work I can get my hands on, I'm glad it is developing legitimate uses to shut up the **AA's.

  8. Re:Normally on Amazon Pulling Out of Texas Over $269 Million Tax Bill · · Score: 1

    poor people may pay a higher percentage of their income, but not more then rich people. (for the record I'm very much poor)

    Samsung intercept, virgin mobile. $200 dollars. $25 a month, unlimited data. 400 minutes, need more talk? 40 dollars a month, 1200 minutes. I have an intercept (ableit from sprint) very capable phone. Froyo even.

    nah, along the sunset, for about 30 minutes of bus ride, Perfect 4G

  14. Re:I was physched.... on Kyocera and Sprint Now Hyping a Dual-Screen Android Smartphone · · Score: 1

    I get the 4G Signal at most places I'd like to have it, although it does go in and out on the bus rides. The fee isn't for 4G, it WAS for certain phones. now it's for ALL Smartphones.

  15. I was physched.... on Kyocera and Sprint Now Hyping a Dual-Screen Android Smartphone · · Score: 2

    then I found out the damn thing isn't 4G. I live in LA, and have clearwire, so I know how sweet the 4G CAN be, so I'm not just running after some marketing hype. Also sprint just expanded their $10 a month surcharge to include ALL Smart phones, so if I'm gonna pay that 10 bucks, it damn well is gonna be for a 4G phone.

  16. Friendly fraud?? on The Notable Decline of Identity Fraud · · Score: 1

    Horrible name, but In case anyone else was wondering wts it meant: “Friendly fraud” is on the rise—Friendly fraud - fraud perpetrated by people known to the victim, such as a relative or roommate - grew seven percent last year, with consumers between the ages of 25-34 most likely to be victims of this type of fraud. People in this age group are most likely to have their Social Security number (SSN) stolen—with 41 percent of fraud victims in this group reporting theft of their SSN.

    Of course I thought the iPad would never sell at its cost either. You're response was made absolutely no sense, so i'm gonna try and guess where you were headed. I meant, "I never thought the iPad would Sell well at the price it sold for" not sure you how you read "would never sell at its cost" as "would never sell AT COST" big difference between the two

    "Wars legitimate goal is a more perfect peace" a great man said that. For Vietnam read "Vietnam the Necessary War: A Reinterpretation of America's Most Disastrous Military Conflict" and do you really think after the towers fell, we should have let the Taliban continue?? Iraq, eh, thats debatable, but I offered my services in support of it, and believe in what was done. If you drive a car to work, you can't really argue on its net effect, and how you benefited from it.

    So someone steals the plans for an Upcoming Mission in afghanistan, with say, 30 or 40 soldiers involved. It so happens the soldiers are in place in harms way, and a "Journalist" releases the plans to al jazeera, who broadcast them, and the soldiers are killed. still "just a journalist" Exhibit B: : Random chinaman here for business. SOMEONE ELSE steals some national secrets. Gives them to said Chinaman, Chinaman makes secrets available to people, lets call them the PRC, or hell, The World. Said chinaman is guilty of espionage
