like a Tracfone does?

I was a default entry in my address book from Day 1 with my phone.

I know for a fact Verizon, as soon as you log in on their website, that is the first thing you see. A nice green bar if you are under, yellow if you are close, red if you are over, they also provide a link to upgrade your account if you think you need too. Very easy to use. Also, if you are on Verizon dial #MIN and you will get a nice text (free of charge) that lists all your usage. I can't speak for other carriers.

I guess that could be considered a little flamish, but that wasn't my intention. I was just making the point that people can't be bothered to keep up with their usage, but they can be bothered to complain enough to get the FCC to investigate.

So are people becoming so lazy that they can't be bothered to check their used minutes, so they need the government to make sure they aren't surprised?

please ignore my parent post. It seems that GP is correct

according to here the ISO 8859-1 standard calls for that specific character to be rendered.

Why don't modern browsers render this character?

for the 360, I've found that PS3Media Server is better than TVersity. At least with PS3MS I can choose to use subtitles and alternate languages in MKVs.

Aren't there still pretty hefty tax cuts for R&D?

the ultimate question I have, is will Verizon make you use V-cast apps? Will they force you to use Bing? Will they even allow you to use the App Store?

I've found the "Recommended Items" tab in Google Reader to be spot on 97% of the time. It takes time for it to get smart, but any system does.

If this comes to pass, then corporations will soon have more rights than people do. I'd expect to see a whole lot of real estate transactions in Delaware, and a lot more corporations being set up as people incorporate themselves to enjoy everything the government has been doing for corporations lately.

Do they make bluetooth receivers small enough to fit on a couple of pin heads? Most hearing aids are extremely small, and I don't think there is a lot of room to go adding things and not have the costs skyrocket.

I agree, there should be some way to use existing technology.
