I tried blaming my keyboard once. It just stared back at me knowing that it had done nothing wrong and I couldn't prove otherwise. The little bastard had me in a corner and the other people in the office were staring at me.
I don't know... but if I signed someone up with a contract, I'd want to know that that money is going to continue to come in and not have them cancel on me because they read a fanatical article on the web or some other situation that doesn't really warrant them canceling. It's a contract that nobody is forcing you to sign, but like many other things today... people feel as though business is the devil and they stalk on poor lonely Grandmothers and somehow they feel prioritized to have things handed to them without consequence.
I get unlimited texting as well, not sure if that's where the difference is... but I really don't consider it expensive to tell the truth. (Especially since I have coverage when I go home to the parents where every other provider is non-existent.)
It costs money to put up a lot of towers. It costs money to lease the land those towers are on (this is not cheap... I've seen what some companies pay.) It costs money to run fiber to these towers. (Unions, tools/vehicles, land rights...) It costs money to pay people to support and maintain these towers. (Unions, tools/vehicles, hardware...) It costs money to electrify these towers...
but what do you do when there are only 4 or 5 players in the market
You mean like the Automotive market?;) It's collusion if they all increase. So far, none of them have and they'd compete if they didn't (based on the reactions of some of the people around here.) I have a feeling that it truly is expensive to have a wireless network that spans the landmass of the US and people are caught up in the color of the grass on the other side of the pond.
I have a Droid with unlimited data (I don't tether) and 450 minutes (which I don't use and wish they had less minutes on the minimum plan) for $68/month on a corporate discount. Having my Email, IM, Last.fm, Browser, GPS, and everything else available to me mobile... It's well worth $68/month.
That's why they are doing it I assume. Someone could technically buy a Droid or other smart phone on contract for ~$350, break the contract and come out less than buying the phone outright. ($175 + $350 $600) so you'd be dumb to outright by it when you can get $75 (plus the $100 MIR) by buying a contract and canceling it.
Honestly, I still love how StringBuilder is a separate class from a String. Why is it so hard to make String blah; blah.Append("goo");? Recently reading through Code Complete (published by Microsoft) touches on this subject in Chapter 6.4 if I remember right...
That's only worked for me once... the 10 other tickets I received gives me less than 10% on that tactic. The one time... "I was just having a bit of fun with the car..." in my previous RX8. It's the only time I recall NOT getting a ticket for speed besides the time I got pulled over in my old clunker pickup with the D.A.R.E. bumper sticker I didn't remove when I bought it.
Telling the truth (in my experience) does not help.
To be honest, that doesn't say Jones' not a communist... it simply says: "I realized that there are a lot of people who are capitalists -- shudder, shudder -- who are really committed to fairly significant change in the economy, and were having bigger impacts than me"
I read this as, "Even though I'm a communist, the other side is winning" and it looks to me like this person is taking on some of the tactics of the "capitalists -- shudder, shudder --" in order to improve their standing and push their agenda of "nonprofit voluntary, cooperative, and community-based solutions" He even mentions that "the changes he was seeking were actually getting farther away" so "the left need to be more unified, he decided, it might also benefit from a fundamental shift in tactics"
Now, you will probably point to this qoute: "We cannot realistically proceed without a strong alliance between the best of the business world" to which I ask... who decides what's best for the business world? Communism isn't totally an economic model. It's partly a nationalist idea. You want your country to succeed and compete in the global market, and yes that's good for business, but he doesn't state how.
It doesn't say he abandoned Communism. It just says he needed a change of tactics to further his agenda.
Then again, I'm reading this from a third party viewpoint having only watched Beck one time (and been turned off by his religious fervency).
I am sure that the drooling retards who call themselves Glenn Beck fans are outraged about this decision.
I want one of those broad brushes. Where did you get yours? Ace? HomeDepot?
I can only hope that "fans" of Glenn Beck are sort of like pro wrestling "fans" -- They enjoy the performance, knowing deep down that it's not authentic.
That includes Colbert, right? Or is it too obvious that he's on Comedy Central?
There are people on both sides that would like that very much. This includes people who were fighting for a more logical approach to health care by allowing the states to come up with their own systems instead of voting in one giant massive system that's untested. I happen to be one of these people... though I tend to fall more in the Libertarian side of the square as opposed to left or right (blue or red.) IMHO, the Federal government was setup as a check to the state governments where the people voted in representatives that could override decisions made by the states in intent. In practice, and thanks to the fade of States rights, it's been lost.
Or are you one of those people that think only Democrats can think of notable solutions and all other ideas will never work? That somehow "the red states" will fall and the "progressive blue wonders" will reach the utopia of mankind through social programs and abolishment of individual success?
A train of cars is hardly a car accident... this is a 5:00 news worthy horrific incident. They'll analyze if the driver was a terrorist who drove all the cars into that school intentionally and debate the finer points of how more regulation could help solve incidents like this in the future.
I'll admit, the battery cover slid off on me when I put it in my pocket and tried pulling out my phone in my car. It rubbed up against the jean material and slid the cover back. It wasn't day ending and it made me realize I should probably give in and by those ever needed bigger waistline pants (and give up my 34" days)... but it slid back on easily enough.
They could have put some kind of latch on it, but like I said... not a deal breaker IMHO. The phone is great! (as you can attest)
I have the droid and I pay $67/month with unlimited data/texting and 450 min of non-Verizon calling. Of course, I get a 22% discount through my workplace... which I understand most people don't get. If I do some quick math, that makes the minimal plan with "unlimited" data $87/month.
The minimum minutes is fine with me since I don't call people (I mainly text.) I do burn up some minutes on a couple remote conference calls, but not usually more than 100 minutes.
Even if you called a lot, you could burn up some data (even though mine says I've used 26,572.48 KB of Unlimited data) by using sipdroid or one of the other VOIP apps available on the market.

How are you supposed to find out if the chip is working right if you don't have enough people to stand or sit based on their current instruction?
So, we'll see you next Tuesday? ;)

Last time I checked, canceling in the first few weeks also means handing in the phone...

Just over 2 hours.

My EnV had a way to change that functionality. It was Brew (if I recall) so just about all the other Vz branded smart phones should be the same.

I like ".GET Platform" better.
Then they can call this dialect G#.

That doesn't make any sense... I'm sorry. How is denying that it happened make it an illegitimate question?

I don't recall anywhere in the Constitution where it says "Slavery is okay guys... carry on." Maybe you can enlighten me.
