We have cable Internet at home (Dish Network for TV and in the van), so when I'm there, which is like never, I use the WiFi at the house, which is 12Mbit snappy. I've tied all the Home replacements and Launcher Pro is, at least for me, all that and a bag of chip. There are some popular ones that...

Swift, public executions used to be a deterrent. Now they are neither swift or public, and thus deter no one.

Far as I know they are, but the security can be turned on or off on either. But I was talking more about the way it's being advertised. Like this one, for example (which is a way kewl commercial).

We had the houseboat in a covered slip, that cost us $400 a month. Lots of like-sized houseboats there, many of which had people living in them as their primary or even sole home. People who live full time on a houseboat in a slip and rarely if ever take it out are just plain weird. But we had...

When you post an image wider than 640 pixels, it breaks the browser and the QUICK and QUOTE buttons go poof, making it difficult, and in some cases if it's wide enough, impossible to post a reply. Granted, it's a server-side issue that's not being dealt with, but unless and until they get it...

True enough, the houseboat was written off as a second home, but we didn't buy it for that purpose. It was an added benefit, one that actually I wasn't even aware of until after we got the thing. It's not like the houseboat was a Donald Trump hand-me-down or anything. It was a modest 25-year...

The 4G pricing should be interesting, especially since the way it works allows for far more data to be pushed through it. Not just faster data, but the capacity is leaps and bounds beyond 3G, so that really, things should be cheaper. Of course, they won't be. So it'll be interesting to see how...

It won't affect current customers and current contracts much, especially smartphone users with the $30 unlimited data plan, and the same the option to downgrade to $15 for 150MB/month, with a $0.10/MB overage charge. What's new is with the tablets. In addition to $20/1GB, $35/3GB, and $50/5GB...

For nearly 5 weeks I ran my tires off. The last 2 weeks not so much. Business isn't picking up or slowing down, it's just where yer at and when that matters, same as always.

"we have went to all large camping machines." We have went? Seriously? We have went? Sorry, just couldn't help myself. :D Here's a couple more disjointed thoughts. People crack me up doing something because it's a write-off. They spend fist fulls of money to save a small handful later. Kinda...

There's nothing to defend because it's indefensible. People say and do stupid stuff all the time, it's just politicians are afforded the luxury of having everyone pick apart what they say. Most people have done incredibly stupid stuff when they were younger, or at least incredibly stupid in the...

The top of the page, first line below the story headline, at the link LBD posted, it's 2011. First link I posted, it's 2011. The second link I posted they say 2019, and it's the only place I've seen that number in connection with his parole. I think that one's a mistake, since I haven't seen...

Where companies are located, and where people live, is irrelevant. It's where the freight goes that matters. The reason you see people staying out three weeks at a time is because three weeks is generally the minimum amount of time that needs to be spent on the road to make this venture...

Here's a post from Usenet that's from a newspaper article in 2005. It's about the killer, his history, and about his Baptist preacher father and just how screwed up his life was while growing up. It defies belief, except that it happened in Kentucky Coal Country, which explains a lot...

I'm not convinced you're a geek. I geek wouldn't create a thread about media players in the top level of the Carrier Forums. A geek would have gone straight to the Tech Shop Forum. I don't think you're a geek at all. I think you're a bot. You've certainly joined enough forums all over the Net in...

"No where did I say it was a "benefit to the driver"" Sure you did, right when you called it a service the carrier provides, for which the driver pays. By definition, a service benefits whoever pays for it or whomever it is performed for. That's why it's called a service. It comes from...

"Apportioned Registration" is the nickname for International Registration Plan, or what most people call IRP. Normally, or at least before the IRP program came into being, interstate truckers had to pay for trip permits for each state they traveled in or through, because you have to be...

Happy Birthday my friend. You're a man among men.

Greg, the link you posted came across as http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_PROLIFIC_CONGRESS/ That it sends you to the Detroit News version of the article clearly is a result of you having a Keebler Elf working hard for you. :D This one just kills me.... "Gridlock? It may feel that...

Not entirely true. The $35 per week does cover any repair or replacement, which is no small benefit as these things are very expensive to repair. Then again, it ain't my QC. The "services" of which you speak all directly benefit the carrier, not the contractor, and any services that benefit...
