Would it make sense to say "We should definitely resurrect group A, because their deaths were more tragic, and bringing them back to life would do more good be reversing that tragedy"?
One died in a completely preventable way, the other died while taking one of many calculated risks in life.
It's so hard to see stupid americans jumping over each other trying to give up the rights their forefathers fought for.
It's hard to see people senselessly dying. Each shooting that happens means more people feel this way. Let that sink in a bit before you write off these people as 'stupid'.
My Arduino projects don't require the power of a 32-bit processor, but do run on batteries. How much more (... or less maybe?) power is drawn by this processor?
The story I read earlier this morning quoted someone or other as saying that customers currently in a contract won't see a change until the contract is up. If they renew, it will be at the new price.
Ah. Well in that case, Verizon is doing nothing wrong. The main reason I suspected the other possibility is that, if memory serves, Verizon has told their unlimited peeps that they have to pay full price for their phones. Under that circumstance they would not care at all if anybody had walked away from their unlimited plan if they changed the price mid-stream.
I have a grandfathered unlimited plan with AT&T and I'm paying $30/mo for it. If they raised it to $50 I wouldn't personally be too upset, but there is a key difference here that I don't think applies to Verizon: They've upped their throttling cap from 5 gigs to 22 gigs. So I'd be paying $50 for 22 gigs a month (plus it'll keep going, albeit slower) which is far better than their tiered options.
On a side note, I do wish they'd quit screwing with us. What do you call someone that has a grandfathered unlimited plan from AT&T or Verizon? A loyal customer.
When did Verizon ever promise not to increase the cost of plans?
The question (that the fine article doesn't address...) is whether or not they're waiting until the next contract cycle to add this increase. If they are, then yes, you're at least partly right that this is a non-story.
If they're upping the price right now and saying : "Well yes that is breach of contract, would you like to walk away from your unlimited plan that you'll never get again now?"... then... yes, they're being downright underhanded and even hostile to their customers.
All things get more expensive over time... It called inflation.
You are an idiot.
Two problems with calling him an idiot: First is that this isn't about inflation. $30 to $50 between 2010 and 2015 is not even close to the rate of inflation. Second, the 'idiot', in all likelihood, knows the history of Verizon (and AT&T for that matter) and their hostility towards unlimited customers. Now maybe I'm giving the poster you called an idiot more credit than he deserves, but AT&T's recently hundred-million-dollar-smackdown by the FCC recently was broadly reported. It turns out these carriers have been looking for ways to shed themselves of these unlimited customers.
You're showing symptoms of irritability, I prescribe Googlin.

Remeber years ago on this site when not performing OS updates was a sign that you shouldn't be allowed near a computer?
If the feelings are balanced to one side then why is the debate heating up?
... wot?
Wouldn't performing a spectrographic analysis on the hot air coming out of these guys' mouthes reveal more quantifiable data?
Can I just take a moment to tell you that I like you waaaay better than APK? Your posts are fun!
Since when do people label usb drives?

Beg to differ. There's a large difference between "what was he doing on that ladder anyway" and "why did that kid have a gun?"
How so? Shot, stabbed, slashed or bludgeoned, what's the difference?
Range.
Or just walk through the between-class crowds and start slashing/swinging.
Would you give up your gun in favor of a knife to protect your home?
But you've made that potential criminal a lot less dangerous.
A death caused by a toddler finding a gun is not more tragic than a death from falling off a ladder.
That's simply not true. There are good reasons to be on a ladder to fall off of. Is there a good reason for a toddler to ever handle a gun?

If your goal is to save lives then you should be focused on the big killer cancer.
You can't stop cancer from killing someone, but you can stop someone with a gun from pulling the trigger.
Yeah, it 'ruins' most pictures, that's why the porn industry moved to PNG a decade ago.
I was wondering if they always had that fee and if it was in lieu of ads or just a reduction in them.
You plan to burglarize a place you know is occupied with armed individuals who are already waiting for you to turn up?
You sure that wasn't Wally you're quoting?
No, those terms are not inter-changeable.
And are people likely to give birth pre-maturely attracted to fracking towns and want to move?
In other words: Oops, he got you there.

I think you underestimate just how obnoxious OSS zealots are.

ounds like something the government will mandate soon, and the data will also be sent to your local police department. :(
They'll send it to the local government so they can use that to assess 'road usage' taxes.
Oregon tried to do that with RFID tags in the tires.
Quantum encryption? How does that work? "The message changed when I read it!"
