  1. What T-Mobile sounds like at 6pm...everyday! on Cell Phone Service Degenerates Further · · Score: 3, Funny
    "We're sorry, all circuits are busy. Please try again at a later time."

    Because of this, I end up not using all the minutes I buy every month on my phone. Which means two things, I am not getting what I am paying for and T-Mobile is losing out on raping me on overage charges. So its a two way loss.

  2. Product Review on Dell Handhelds Released · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Its a PDA. It runs Pocket PC 2002. It only works with Windows. It costs $299. Yawn.

    This not a new PDA, just a faster retread from a company that never produced a PDA before.

    Have you ever heard of birth control? Maybe instead of griping at Apple, you should be having a discussion with the "little guy" about your financial situation.

    BMW. What's up with those snotty Germans? I really want one of their M-Series cars in the form factor of a VW Bug with a 1000 CD-Disc Changer & MP3 Player w/ OGG support (Fraunhofer can stick it! Snotty Germans!), corinthian leather and all the rest of that German goodness (Can you say that?). I've got my own tires from my old car but those arrogant sausage eaters won't sell me a Beemer without tires. Why can't I get one of those!? Why do I have to pay the tire tax?

    BMW is never going to have a large market share if they don't let customers buy the cars the way they want. They will just be a niche car company selling expensive cars to really arrogant, snotty people that think they are superior to everyone else. Plus I hear their owner likes to wear black all the time.

    I have the T68m (one for me, one for the wife) flashed to be a SONY Ericsson T68i and the reception is pretty decent. Have you had the firmware upgraded since you bought it?

    What about those "sticker antennae" cell phone boosters? All the SPAM I get about them seems to brag about the improvement. :)

    Just remeber, 50 years from now, people will still know who the Sex Pistols were. No one will know, or care, who the Backstreet Boys or Ratt were.

    That depends. If any of the members of the Backstreet Boys or RATT kill their wife, they will be remembered.

    The Sex Pistols were -about- marketing. Pay attention to the whole story and maybe you'll get it. They're art -- social commentary.

    Oh I know the story. I was alive back then and old enough to buy their albums. That is why I said they were the "Punk Backstreet Boys". Most "young people" don't know that. They just picked up the albums in the early 90s without the history. All they know about the Sex Pistols is from the movie "Sid and Nancy" which really doesn't give a clear picture of the band and makes them seem like the Kings of Punk. I see the "Young Punks" littering St. Marks street in NYC wearing Sex Pistols patches and buttons and I laugh at them and tell them how 'cute' they are. They have no clue. They might as well have Justin Timberlake T-Shirts on.

  19. Sex Pistols == Punk Backstreet Boys on Never Mind The 25th Anniversary · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Sex Pistols were to punk music what RATT was to heavy metal. They were nothing more than a put together Punk band fueled by a money hungry promoter, Malcolm McLaren -- who ran for mayor of London once. Adding Sid Vicious was nothing more than marketing. He couldn't play worth a damn. If you ever get to hear bootlegs of their US tour, you will know what I mean. Rush tribute bands sound better live.

    Pretty Vacant for damn sure. But still I like Bullocks, it had a beat and you could puke to it.

    Why, was there a fact that wasn't checked? Moshe stated "I couldn't figure out how to turn off the GUI in OSX". Are you saying he's lying and that he really did figure it out?

    Someone with Moshe's background not being able to figure out how to configure Mac OS X GUI-less is suspect. The web is riddled with the instructions. He is by all accounts an "uberhacker". Plus he made several errors in the review that others pointed out before I could. The article should be yanked for lack of quality of information. Byte should have higher standards.

    I am assuming that the integration will be rolled into Apple's AIM client, iChat. Now it just needs MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Jabber support. The built-in Rendevous support in iChat is one feature that the Open Source community should jump on. Not only for chat but all forms of connectivity without the tedious cfg editing. I would love to message my Linux and BSD servers securely for system info.
