  5. Re:Tmobile US on T-Mobile Releases New Card, Outlaws VoIP and IM · · Score: 1

    I don't know about using it as a modem (although I can't see why it wouldn't work) but I have T-mobile's $6 plan and by editing my gateways on my Razr, I'm able to use Opera and Google Local completely unrestricted. And unlimited text messaging across my 3 lines only costs me $10 a month total. I love T-mobile.

  6. Re:No VOIP/No IM? on T-Mobile Releases New Card, Outlaws VoIP and IM · · Score: 1

    On top of this, T-mobile gives me unlimited text/picture messaging on 3 lines for a total of $10 a month, unlimited data and internet (enabling me to use Opera and Google Local) for $6 a month, and unlimited nights, weekends, and T-mobile-to-T-mobile along with more anytime minutes than I ever use for all 3 lines for like $60 or $70 a month. Their customer service has always been top notch (I've stayed on the phone with reps talking basketball or whatnot for 10 minutes after getting my issue addressed) and I feel the move from Verizon was the best decision I ever made regarding my cell service. T-mobile has really shined for me and I can't hype it to my friends enough.

    (No, I don't work for T-mobile or anything, I've just really been impressed with the service they've provided me for the last 3 or 4 years. And you gotta love not being tied into a new 2 year contract everytime you make a change to your service (Thanks again for that Verizon, you pieces of shit).)

  7. Re:And you are? on T-Mobile Releases New Card, Outlaws VoIP and IM · · Score: 1

    I have T-mobile's $6 data plan and with a little gateway adjustments on my Razr, I am able to visit any webpage and do anything I want with Opera and Google Local.

  8. Re:Forget VOIP... no IM? on T-Mobile Releases New Card, Outlaws VoIP and IM · · Score: 1

    I'm a college student with T-mobile and have to clear my max ~100 message inbox every two days or so. Text messaging is HUGE these days and we text far more than call. On my family plan (3 phones), I have unlimited text/picture/everything messaging between all the lines for $10 a month. (GREAT promotion from T-mobile, available till the 14th, if anyone is interested.)

  9. Re:Forget VOIP... no IM? on T-Mobile Releases New Card, Outlaws VoIP and IM · · Score: 1

    I also was able to change gateways on my Razr (with T-mobile service) to get completely open internet access with their $6 plan for use with Google Local and Opera. This information is also available on T-mobile forums.

  10. Re:/me confused on T-Mobile Releases New Card, Outlaws VoIP and IM · · Score: 1

    I pay about $70 for far more than needed "anytime" minutes, unlimited T-mobile to T-mobile calls, and unlimited night and weekends calls. I also pay an extra $10 or something along those lines for unlimited text messaging. Another $6 got me unlimited data. This is for a family plan with THREE phones. So we basically already have unlimited phone calls for less than 39.99 a month, so what's the problem?

  11. Re:IM on T-Mobile Releases New Card, Outlaws VoIP and IM · · Score: 1

    And telegraphs and morse code worked for decades before that. Why even use a phone?

  12. Re:IM (off-topic) on T-Mobile Releases New Card, Outlaws VoIP and IM · · Score: 1

    I have the $6 plan and by editing some of the settings on my Razr I'm able to use Google Local and the Opera browser on my phone with no restrictions. It takes a little "hacking" but, especially with the Opera browser, it's a GREAT feature with a great price for unlimited data use. T-mobile is great with this feature enabled. A google search should bring up the appropriate info for enabling this stuff.

    I totally agree.

    Once you get past that first week or so, you can go from completely hating diet pop (like I used to) to finding regular pop FAR too sweet. Since then, I only drink diet. I lost about 15 or 20 pounds from the pop alone, then a few more by watching my food. (From ~195 to ~165lbs)

  23. Re:Please don't use RMS when you say "Watts" on Making Modifications to Your Computer Workspace? · · Score: 1

    Why not use the accepted terminology? I'm big into car audio, for instance, and when buying speakers there is a peak power and average power given. They are distinguished by the term RMS. What annoys ME is when someone doesn't say RMS when talking about their speakers and you're left to assume they may very well be talking about the peak power.

    Sorry. You wrote that you had a P133 but not specifically that that was your only computer. I assumed (based partly on this being Slashdot) that you might have had another computer which would be able to run Eve.

    Either way, I was just trying to introduce you to a game that I believe meets your requirements for quality gaming. If you do get your hands on a newer computer, check it out... I think you'd enjoy it.
