Conspiracy theory time! The carriers give them a cut of the profits from the data overages. At $0.50/kb*, it could be substantial.... especially since the phone itself is liable to be a complete flop.
(*The sad thing is how little of an exaggeration that is.)
Oh sure, but if they are caught the fines might amount to 5 or even 10 percent* of the profit!
(*The sad thing is that a decimal error in this prediction is doubtful.)
Yep. And I'll trade-in my 80 MPG hybrid for a gas-guzzling Porsche (shaped like a penis)* that gets a mere 15 mpg. And move to a home 100 miles from my job.
My 1995 Porsche 911 gets about 28 MPG on the highway if I keep it at under 80 MPH - yeah I know its not 80 MPG but its better than 15 MPG and its a heck of a lot more fun than a Prius or a some other econobox
Well sure, if you don't have the penis shaped Porsche then you don't have that whole "enter a tunnel, back up, pull forward, back up" over and over until the windshield wiper cleaner spontaneously squirts all over the place...
Sodom, Sodom, Sodom... It's always "Sodom", not a bit of love for old Gomorrah! Really, they were nasty enough to get vaporized, but end up as a footnote. You never hear about anyone getting "Gomorrahized" or anything, it's just not fair...
The medication makes it hard to hear the voices... and the voices told me long ago not to trust anything or anyone that tries to quite the voices. This is confusing because The Great Weasel told me it was OK to take the medication as long as I wash it down with a bottle of vodka. When I told that to the people in white they moved me to the cloud room again...
Thanks for proving Santa does not exist. However by doing so you have also proved Trolls exist.
Dammit Man, don't you see it? Santa is not an ELF, He's a TROLL!!! It's so insidious, it makes perfect sense. Oh, he's also still a perv too... He see's us when we're sleeping!
He knows when we're awake. We have to sit on his lap and ask for gifts!!! Dear God, When Will People Wake Up?
So, last sentence of the first paragraph of a press release that starts with "Rome, Italy, December 21, 2010" is not sneaky? They even hid a link to it in plain sight on the front page of the site... how much more evidence do we need? Unloose the villagers with their digital pitchforks and torches!!!
Can I just be clear, here? Are you blaming Microsoft for not also writing support plugins for O/Ss they don't develop?
Yes! There is no telling how deep this issue actually runs in our modern society. I have found some sort of conspiracy whereby I can not procure O.E.M. engine parts for my Chevy pickup at the local Ford dealership! According to Mike Rowe, Ford has the top selling pickup. It should be incumbent on Ford to make sure that people who did not chose Ford products still have all the advantages and or benefits that Ford's paying customers derive from ownership. Also, as soon as a company successfully markets a flying car I expect someone to show up and retrofit all my vehicles!
If Two Media Whores collide in the middle of the night, does anyone hear it?
It's more like, can anyone avoid hearing it... Sadly the answer is not likely... You would have to be at some religious retreat in the middle of the desert to miss it...
I have packed drives in dry ice to get one last read out of them. Once the drive is very cold it's a race to get the data before condensation builds up on the circuit board. Side note, bare metal "screams" when pressed against dry ice... gas hammering against the metal. My normal MO for this is stick cables on the drive, stick the drive in a heavy freezer baggie with the cables sticking out the open end of the bag. Rubber band or tape it shut as best you can with the cables sticking out. Put a block of dry ice on the top and bottom of the drive (outside the bag) and wrap it with something like a thin towel or paper to keep the dry ice in contact with dirve. Stick the whole thing in the freeze for at least half an hour before trying to spin up the drive. Leave the dry ice in place and hook the drive up (I have done both USB and IDE connections). If you are lucky you can HURRY and copy your data... If not you're out $5 for dye ice.
I get this feeling it's a shill. When OpenLeaks relates to WikiLeaks in mind share, what follows is "Open Source" relating to "Open Leaks" in mind share... It's a trap... The sheeple will follow along with no problem, it must be true if the news clown said it...
I did not see that behavior in TX. It was not until 1986 or 87 that they made it illegal for the DRIVER of a vehicle to have an open alcohol container... it was still OK for the passenger to drink. That's probably changed, but New Braunfels is a tourist town and they treat people OK.

Not to mention a link to a larger photo... thanks.

Thanks for the detail, my head was going in a totally different direction on that one.

what's wrong with taking your medication?

So... no foreplay?
Well, once you get the first one working one would hope you could print at least some of the parts for future iterations...

Damn, I'm out of pills again...
I've heard of grammar nazis, but goatse-ing someone for poor grammar is rude.
Goatse, expanding punctuation and grammar to a whole new level...

Without any central spokesperson or entity, who can disclaim anything?

Go north about 30 miles and check out New Braunfels.
Where Oktoberfest rocks! Bring a designated driver as the cops are thick during the event...
