You misunderstand. They specifically market the device in that link (the only hotspot device they sell that supports $25/month to month unlimited data) as an Apple product only device. On their website, they specifically say it can only be used with Apple devices. While it *may* work on any other devices, and not be checking the manufacturer side of a MAC address, I don't want to spend $30 to buy it and find out.
The other Clear hotspot devices that are $40+ month are marketed as supporting any device.
I made my first $1MM in treasury notes using technical analysis. Don't knock it until you've used it.
I subscribe to the old saying, "Technical analysis works until it doesn't." It works well unless something fundamentally changes in the market, which is why you don't trade just on the numbers.
My T-Mobile plan is unlimited, and it's $30/month. Also, I can get a CLEAR "Apple device" wifi hotspot for $25/month to month. They say it only works with Apple devices, but I'm fairly certain they're not using the MAC address to determine if the device can connect or not.
I'd much rather use up my 32GB microSD card on my Nexus One than the 200MB of internal storage for apps. I never take the SD card out, because, what's the point? Any data I want to move around I can move on/off the card using 3G or 802.11/g/n
And yes - welfare, social security, medicare, medicaide, etc. can all go away. We'll save a good bit of the budget right there; and alleviate quite a few problems governmental problems. The programs have by and large outlived their usefulness, and are far and wide abused.
CK-12, the nonprofit listed in the summary, makes "flexbooks". They're basically PDFs, which of course they allow you to print out. Total cost for books? Whatever it costs to print the PDFs.
While I don't know the Russian language myself (although I'm 1/4 Russian), I'd be happy to chip in $100 towards a collective effort to have them translated.
Note I said "neutron bombs." Is it cheaper to drop many neutron bombs in the mountains? Or to lug fuel up there at the cost of $400/gal to fuel vehicles to drag men around there looking for insurgents. Cost benefit and all that jazz.
My point is that whether you pay for healthcare directly via taxes or you pay for it in a roundabout way through hospitals making up for their losses by overcharging private health insurers and medicare/medicaid, you're still paying for it as long as your mandate hospitals have to care for those in need even if they can't afford it. You might as well suck it up, it's already happening.
No problem. I don't think you'll ever replace folks on the ground completely, but you if you can get to the point where you can project power from the air and garner survillence (Global Hawks), resupply remotely (KC-130s outfitted with UAV intelligence), and also automate ground forces (lots in dev with DARPA, nothing on the ground yet), you need *very few* soldiers in forward areas. Send some of the Phalanx CIWS weapon platforms on land vehicles with treads along, and with your air and land robotics, you as a single soldier can be a formidable "army of one".
"By adding an automated aerial refueling capability to UAVs, we can significantly increase their combat radius and mission times while reducing their forward staging needs and response times," said David Riley, Boeing Phantom Works program manager for the AAR program.
The predator drones, yes, I'd imagine they need someone close by. The global hawks? Not so much. Also, UAVs can now be refueled in the air, there is no need for them to land if done properly. Not only do the global hawks have a much longer range, they also have a greater payload, and longer loiter capability.
You use neutron bombs in discretely targeted areas. No major physical destruction while at the same time preventing life from existing in the mountains for 3-5 years.

Check it out now though. It might be a one day only special.
Please don't like Gmail or Google Calendar. I don't won't those to go away too! ;)

I look forward to a research paper on HFT DoS attempts/successes.
I for one chuckle at the thought of a sentient system playing with the market to get themselves a bigger condo for more servers to power itself.
Holy shit. It's like ebay snipping but with real money!

I've talked with them about an iPad app specifically for their content, and it's in the works.

Are you arguing they they shouldn't take your income to provide police and fire protection as well? Society costs.
Indeed. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040es.pdf

Not only did I read it, I checked out some of their references via the footnotes at the bottom. They need to try a bit harder.
Oil companies don't have to pay for the wars, US taxpayers do. Same people who expected to get rich are going to do so.
