I totally agree that he was awesome and it will be so sad if he goes.

Are y'all watching the same show I am? Smith is trying to play the Doctor like Hartnell, but he has neither the acting chops nor the (dare I say it) gravitas to pull it off. Smith is easily the worst Doctor, even below Tom Baker and Paul McGann in my book. If they don't go to an older actor for the next regeneration I'll be really peeved.

Credo Mobile is the best. They have the same prices as everyone else, but they lobby/donate to charities with ideology much more left on the spectrum than the others (AT&T gave a lot of money to Bush). And their customer service bludgeons the lights out of Verizon/AT&T/Sprint (they don't charge you to turn off texting and data access, awesome!)

And as long as you're OK with being on the Sprint network, Credo is indeed fine. Many people wouldn't like to be on Sprint. (I'm not one of them. Been with Sprint almost 10 years and had no problems at all. YMMV.)

The people at the top of those buildings were some of the wealthiest people on the planet

WTF?!? The people I worked with on the 97th floor of 1 WTC were working stiffs like you & me, not "some of the wealthiest people on the planet". So were the people on 96, 95, 94, 93, 98, and 99. There were no "multi-millionaires" among them. (The multi-millionaires in the firm I worked for then stayed in the Midtown Manhattan office. WTC was for back office staff only.)

Don't talk about things you have no knowledge of.

Consider for a moment what environment this amendment was written in: the framers of the Constitution were essentially planning treason against the Crown. Without the right to own firearms, there would have been no Revolutionary War because the only people that could possibly have fought would have been the British Army....makes for a very short Revolution, don't you think?

Wasn't the Constitution written after the end of the Revolution? Nullifies this argument.

I've always defined a smartphone as something I can sync to my computer - Blackberry, iPhone, WinMo, Android, Pre, others. While my LG Rumor can send and receive e-mail, and I can use it to view my GCal and Yahoo calendars, I can't sync the phone to my computer to keep a local copy.
