  3. its a money thing. on iOS 9 'Wi-Fi Assist' Could Lead To Huge Wireless Bills · · Score: 0

    This last week I went shopping for a replacement for my home based 4G internet service. Right now I am with Clear.com using their 4g wi fi modem, I could hook up to eight wireless units to it. The cost is $50 unlimited. I use about 60-70 GB a month. Alas Sprint bought them out and is shutting them down in November. I can not find a home based 4G carrier to replace them. The best I can do is get a hotspot dodad and a data plan of $80 a month for 10 GB. I hope those of you with the real unlimited plans have them grandfathered in. If your new in the market all you can get are data plans.

  11. what i learned in highschool,late 60's on Man-Made "Dead Zone" In Gulf of Mexico the Size of Connecticut · · Score: 0

    ah come on! these dead zones have been known for centuries. all rivers that flow into the sea have them if their big enough. the mere fact that the one in the gulf isn't shrinking is proof that man is not the primary cause. due to efforts in modern irrigation in the last half of the last century to prevent run off from farmlands it should have shrunk. that means naturally produced organic material is the main cause or,its climate change. ;)

  12. now we will know for sure. with super accurate readings there will be no doubt that the earth is cooling,heating, or staying the same. and of course it should be biased to all the old unscientific data that was found before. regards mike

    besides being pure propaganda the real reason you find oil just under the surface is because there is oil there to begin with. that is why the oil companies drilled in the gulf. there was oil surfacing in various spots along the coast line. when investigated they discovered the largest reserves were under the water. magnitudes of order of exxon valdez's of oil leaks into the environment every year. thats how most of the worlds proven oil reserves were found. not by oil rigs leaking.

    there usually not even expiration dates. most say best if used by stated date. milk for example has an expiration date as it will spoil stored in its container. other food stuffs will go stale or loose there taste thus best used by dating.that doesn't mean they have gone bad though.some things such as canned goods can have shelf life of years. even tens of years. when in the Marine Corp in the mid seventies we were issued c-rations made during the Korean War. mostly things are dated because of potential liability issues. eating a can of ten year old peaches could cause immense amounts of mental pain and anguish.
