No they don't, fanboy. Problem: Your SIM, phone number are still linked to the old unit's IMEI. Apple has no mechanism to transfer the registration of the SIM card to your phone number and set it up on the new phone.
No, they send it away, and you get to wait around/at least a week without your phone. Enjoy!
LOL @ intentional denseness. How about "hypocrites should be held to account, when their actions can mean the difference between life and death". To be even more simple: "This was important to you - why wasn't it the case for others?"
Yeah, 'in between jobs and waiting for coverage to kick in'. LOL. Because COBRA is absolutely affordable for people between jobs. COBRA can easily exceed $1,000/month. Why don't you actually cite something that backs your statement.
The problem is, tomorrow, those media outlets will be doing it again, because it's not one of their own. Many people who object to this, including myself, don't begrudge the point, but we do see hypocrisy in the handling, double standards, and an ugliness in the NYT "leaning" on other independent sources to censor the news they wouldn't censor themselves for, and indeed would scream 'freedom of the press'.
Way to ignore his point. Hundreds of times a day, reporters do the exact same thing, and would fight to the death for their right to 'report the news', whether or not it affects you. There are many examples of reporters reporting things that others, law enforcement or family or otherwise, have wished they would not print, only to fall on deaf ears.
LMAO. On an article about how WP refused to release certain information, reverting it to a state they knew to be incorrect, you're going to lambast someone quoting someone who works for the BBC on their WW2 site as being unreliable, because "Wikipedia said it happened"? You know that "Wikipedia repeatedly said this kidnapping didn't happen", right?
LOL. It was cited. So, in the face of their own policies being used against them, WP stuck its fingers in its ears and claimed that the Afghan national news agency wasn't a "Reliable Source".
Don't start me on Verifiability. It's a variable bar, which moves up and down with the motives of the contributor. And "Verifiability, Not Truth!" - ye gods.
Would make you a pretty happy "customer", right? Following that, think you might be likely to give them a front running if you do need traditional cell service, or broadband, long distance?
Well, the red beats this thing handily and it can be had for under twenty grand.
Yeah. If you'd like a body alone. Not sure how much film-making you'll do with that...
You want a lens? Maybe even two? Most RED lenses are in the 5-10,000 range. How about some power? A viewfinder? Storage? You'll be looking at over thirty grand, up to forty without breaking a sweat.
Ultimately that's your fault. Wedding photographers fall into two camps. 1) "Low" upfront cost, high cost of prints, and 2) "High" upfront cost, and access to high res originals. Guess which is most likely to be creative? If your photographer is looking to make his money on print sales, then he's only going to take photos he knows people will buy. If your photographer is getting paid a fee for the day, there's more artistic license to go out and take quirky, oddball, candid, experimental and other such photos.
Right, because you thought that Ashton Kucher was generously giving up his free time to advertise Nikon cameras because he loves them so much.
Let's not be disingenuous here. You are a blogger, you have a following. Do your readers have a right to know if your opinion is sincere, or because you are being paid $x behind the scenes to say things about something?
It has nothing to do with free speech. You can say whatever the hell you like. You just have a moral and ethical imperative to disclose ulterior motivations for doing so, if they exist.
I hate the "blogosphere's" circle-jerk of "look at us, we're the new media. I'll link to you, you link to me, and hahaha, CNN is crying about how much power we have". Bollocks.
As an attorney it is a mystery to me that so many people are still not informed about the law and let companies get away with asking for SSNs. They should simply ask people for a reasonable deposit and not risk getting reported or sued.
As a non-attorney, I am amazed at your naive optimism. Let me tell you of the time I moved home, a year ago, having been in this great country for two year. My wife and I found a place, $1250 a month rent. Not a problem, say I. I'm making at the time $100K in a steady job. Credit check comes back fine, other than a lack of history. I have a letter from my previous landlord saying previous rent of $1500 a month was paid on time, every time.
Property management company says: "Hmmm, first and last month's rent upfront. $250 per pet deposit for a dog and two cats. Due to your credit we will also require a double deposit, i.e. 2 months rent. With the $50 application and background fee, to move in that will be $5,800."
Reasonable deposit, indeed.
I told them there was no way I was giving them a check for nearly six thousand dollars to move into a place on a month to month rental at $1,200 a month. After several days, they reneged.
The birthdate is generally used as a secondary qualifier on most SSN checks because the SSN verification system can check the first 5 digits to see when and where a SSN was generated. So if you see a 18-year old from New York use a SSN that was issued in 1968 to someone in California, you might just have a problem.
Someone oughta bitchslap WaMu (sorry, Chase), then, who refused to open an account initially for me, since my SSN showed as "having been issued in the last three years" and yet I was 28 years old. Gasp. You think that year old green card might explain things?
Eventually it took a regional manager to okay opening the account, and then two hours twiddling my thumbs while they tried to figure out how to bypass the SSN check in the account management system.
I doubt it. If the alternative wasn't mentioned, maybe so, but hearing "or do you own BluRay" would be a pretty big hint to all but the terminally absent minded. It's emblazoned an inch high along the entire length of most Blu Ray titles.
I gotta say, as bad as the fiasco was, it was one of the few things Best Buy did right - I bought a HD DVD player that Christmas, and when the format was discontinued, Best Buy actually sent me a $50 gift card 'for my disappointment in the situation', unsolicited.
As someone who moved from Melbourne to Seattle two years ago (and now works in the healthcare industry here), "Yes! Our healthcare is even more fucked up than you thought!"
You need to wait 6 months for a minor surgery that you could get in the US for under $1000 in 24 hours.
As someone who works in the healthcare industry, LMAO. I bet you, name one surgery that you could get for $1,000, and I will pay for it myself.
You can spend 3 hours in a doctor's waiting room for a 2-minute consultation.
Whereas here, when my wife wanted to book an hour long regular obgyn checkup, she was told there would be a 7 week waiting period. I went to my doctor to see about an arthritis condition. Or I tried. I had to wait 5 weeks. What's your so-called point?
Well what I do is start the stream and then pause it. Go to the dir where firefox saves its current streamed content (/tmp) and play the stream in mplayer there. Works perfectly even as the file is streaming . . . no jumps, no jitters, no CPU overload.
Wow, what an intuitive and streamlined user experience!

You mean, another source that wasn't being leaned on? Hmmm, no, I can't see how there could be a flaw in that...
LOL. You should have a word with them. Tell them all those "breaking news", "live on the spot", "this just in"s are unimportant....

So the fact that some developers are lazy is proof that IE is a monopoly that needs to be curtailed?
Sign me up for your next logic class.
They won't even get a dollar each. They'll get "$1 off their next monthly fee, or $1 off a resubscription"
He did the wrong thing. But let's not go OTT here.

A hundred years ago you'd have been sniffing about the "riff raff", right?

The hypocrisy of the Slashmob is astounding on certain matters, this being one of the biggest ones.
