Maybe if you bought an ultra-cheap one (which my wife and daughter did). Now that they have Samsung Galaxy phones, they don't have any problems "with Android".
Anyone that owned a Windows CE phone (like myself, for instance), would be very reluctant to try a new Windows phone instead of iOS or Android, which are both superior. Mediocre memories.
This is true. Many of the phone/tablet manufacturers also made Netbooks, which Microsoft stepped into and crippled to death. I can see why companies would be very wary of Microsoft at this point.
You just gave me a great idea that may not be one of the 744. Fake credit card numbers that report the cashing entity as a spammer. When they cash the card, the convict themselves. Nobody but the FCC knows which cards are real or fake.
Even better. Go along and get all the information for the company and make sure you tell them that you will only order by calling the rep back because of phishing attempts (after all, they called you). After you get all the info, report them to the Do Not Call list (donotcall.gov). It only takes 1 minute. I assure you that companies do get the $11,000 fines. I have seen two companies that I worked at get the fines. I implemented DNC checking at one of them after they got their first bill for $88,000 a couple months after the DNC list came out (after they ignored me when I told them about it originally).
I worked at a company that had first initial last name like most companies do. They could have done full names. Wouldn't have mattered.
There were 3 employees named Maria Gonzalez. And 2 of them were Maria Guadalupe Gonzalez. They were constantly getting each others' e-mail. Good thing they were best friends.
Of these, the foreign aid types are the worst. They take a job from the US workers, then export significant amounts of cash back to god knows where. A double whammy for the US. Even if they do pay taxes (highly questionable) they claim all sorts of deductions for back home dependents.
I have to undo some mod points, but this is so wrong I couldn't leave it unchallenged.
I have a friend on an H1B Visa. Yes, you could argue that he took a job from US workers, but he is a software engineer, so there aren't enough Americans in this field to go around anyway.
He does send some cash back to India to help his family, although he's starting to realize that all it's doing is making them lazy, so he actually cut back on it. He (of course) pays taxes, but he just took the Standard Deduction (he asked me whether I thought he should itemize or not, and since he has no house or kids and gives nothing to charity...).
It's whatever the store is willing to eat if it goes badly. They know how many people dispute it and how much it will cost vs. how much time they save and what that's worth to them.
There are lots of "cash discount" gas stations in California already. I still pay credit at them sometimes, because it's only $1.50 difference and I can't be bothered to look around for an ATM in the bad part of town where my work is. The gas is still 10 cents cheaper per gallon than at home anyway.

They're like the DRDOS and the OS/2 of smartphones.
That's a funny line. Remains to be seen if it is true.
And Windows is Good Enough(TM)
There has never been a way to go back and forth between Verizon and Sprint to my knowledge.
And they REALLY took off with automatic app installation.
The only teen girl that I EVER saw with a Blackberry was an actress I sat by on a plane.
Sega is VERY profitable, so they don't seem very stupid when they can keep making the profitable games and not the sold-at-a-loss consoles.

donotcall.gov. I can assure you that companies get the fines. I worked for a couple of them.

donotcall.gov may work better. Where did you guys report it?

Toby Shi would hate your system.

C'mon. This is Slashdot. We know nothing of such things. This plate is way more up our alley: http://macnugget.org/albums/cars/feature.jpeg
Yeah, I remember my Hungarian friends LOL'ing at a plate one day. Don't remember what it was though.
Looks like he may have used zeroes to get around the filter.
Courts aren't stupid.

Tell that to Carmen Ortiz...
This is how it should be. We want to encourage getting rid of money.
Giving up money gives the government 100% control. Look what they were able to do to stifle Wikileaks' speech.

Firefox just quit their 64-bit version and then re-instituted it based on the collective howls of nerds everywhere.
