    It's probably worth the ten bucks in you live in an area with WiMax, maybe not so much if you don't, and if you travel a lot. I remember when Verizon's EVDO first came out and I could watch streaming video. Kewl. Except that Lexington was the only place in Kentucky where it worked, and even in...

    Houston teacher beats student, caught on video

    It's a Charter School. Kid probably had it coming.

    How can it be!?!?

    I watched the whole video and didn't hear Schwarzenegger say a single word. Where are the news stories and/or press releases where he made any statements about cash welfare? There aren't any. This is a year-old video that was reposted because this guy needs hits on his Web site and YouTube videos.

    Leo, c'mon. You're a Ham, right? You understand how radio works. They do have basic Interstate coverage, but often the handoff between towers while moving doesn't go smoothly, especially when handing off from one carrier's tower to another. That's no where more evident than trying to have a...

    One of the things that drew me to the Droid was the real keyboard (because, you know, I'm an old fart, and old farts don't like change, and having a keyboard is minimal change). I find that I don't use it very often at all. Then again, I'm not a text message fiend, either. The voice recognition...

    Bordering on Insanity

    Yeah, I know it's all part of it. I was just commenting on your comment that you'd do it legally, like most other immigrants. It's easy for us to sit here and say that. I've said it myself. Why would anyone want to come here illegally when they can do so legally, unless they have something...

    barry involved in ID Fraud???

    All this crap comes from Orly Taitz, who is a certifiable crackpot. In the infamous Barnett v Obama suit, you can see on page 5 where this all comes from. The "1890" is a database record number, not a date of birth of the recipient of a SS#. She states that Obama has used 33 different SS#'s, not...

    John Taylor is the primary spokesman for Sprint, and he lays out the reasoning for the $10 fee on his Blog (More Detail on the Sprint EVO 4G $10/Month Premium Data Charge) Here's 4G Coverage and Speeds where you can check Sprint's 4G coverage. Select a state in the drop-down, and then in the...

    HTC Hero Apps?

    Radar Now is awesome. National Weather Service Doppler radar from the closest airport. The "current conditions" like temp and humidity and stuff can be an hour or so old, but the radar images themselves are within a minute or two of being current. I use the Weather Channel app, too. Tried...

    Bordering on Insanity

    You say that like it's a piece of cake to do it legally. For immediate relatives of US citizens wanting to get a Green Card, and for the limited Lottery and for things like Refugee and Asylum status, the numbers vary, but are rather small. For a job-related Green Card, each country regardless of...

    Obama makes another good move

    And then there's the one in another thread who joined 2½ years ago and finally made their first post yesterday, asking a typical innocuous question in seemingly newbie-ish fashion, but using the language of someone comfortable in their surroundings, and a question that anyone who's read anything...

    Obama makes another good move

    I can't believe people are responding to Rhodes as if he's someone not Doug.

    Android isn't particularly user-friendly, compared to the iPhone. Not even close. But, it is insanely customizable, unlike the iPhone. The new 4G technology does have the advertised speeds, and you can talk and surf the Web at the same time, but the biggest drawback very spotty 4G coverage...

    HTC Hero Apps?

    $18.95. They say $23.95, but $18.95 for a limited time. It's been $18.95 at least since I got the Droid. But it is $34 for the Palms and Windows Mobile, and $29 for the Blackberries, so I can see them raising back up to $23.95 before too long, especially with these new Android phones coming...

    Spare keys

    Yeah, the back door is the only one that you can open, lock, close the door, and it stays locked. That's one of the reasons why I carry a spare remote in my pocket. The other reason, mainly, is if I forget to unlock the doors at pickup or delivery, I can quickly unlock the rear door without...

    HTC Hero Apps?

    I've been using it since I got the Droid in January, and paid for it in February, since a lot of the sites I use are secure sites, especially bank sites. It works on secure sites for the first 30 days, after that ya gotta pony up.

    Political Correctness in Mexifornia

    If you admit we are part of nature, then you have to admit that man is an animal, and we just can't have any of that nonsense. Man doesn't have much of a chance to destroy the Earth. The Earth got a long just fine before were got here, and will do just fine long after we're gone. If we get too...

    Spare keys

    Same with the Sprinter, an open door cannot be locked and then closed. Also, probably like the Volvo, a second remote will not lock the doors if there is a key in the ignition.

    Hog Wild

    Nebraska is trying to solve the feral pig problem by simply banning hog hunting in the state. By banning hog hunting, they remove the incentive to release hogs into the wild for later hunting. Kansas is looking at doing the same thing. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission use helicopters and...
