There's an Android app called FoxFi that enables wifi hotspot use, for free.
It's hard to assume anything when the stream you're deep-packet-inspecting is encrypted.
There was an attempt in the legislature to cap the amount of money available to any one company, and it would have succeeded if the EDC Director Keith Stokes (who resigned last week) hadn't persuaded them to "hold off a little while, we're working on something".
Fellow RIer here... The best strategy as a resident would probably have been to invest in the bonds themselves, if possible...it would have been the perfect hedge. Heads, we win...tails, we don't lose.
I should not be responding to an AC, but please show me just ONE successful communist regime, past or present, where all citizens had an equitable standard of living.
My issue with data caps is the effect it has on innovation. What good is Netflix, Pandora, et.al. on a mobile device if you can't take advantage of them?
FoxFi can fix that little $30 problem for free. As long as you keep the tethering to a reasonable level they won't bother you.
Have you tried FoxFi for your tethering needs? It works fine on my non-rooted G Nex.
>>And it looks to be an ICAO rule, which means every country is affected (but only internationally - local laws can override ICAO if it stays in-
I wonder what this will mean for things like Li-poly batteries used in R/C vehicles, etc that are often airmailed from China. Now they will have to go by boat?
Wish I had mod points. Most people have no idea that both people co-existed in relative harmony for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Not only that, there's some indication the "Palestinians" have converted their faith twice...once to Christianity during the Byzantine era, and then eventually to Muslim when the Ottomans took over...
I talk to many people throughout the day, and occasionally the topic turns to politics...to a person, everyone I speak to is equally disgusted with the state of the state/nation...and when I implore them to "just vote for the other guy, it doesn't matter if they are a tree stump...we need change", they almost universally agree that's not a terrible idea, and they promise to give it a shot. I know it may not amount to anything, but I'm doing my part. I write to my critters (local and national), and I try to get the word out about alternative candidates. I also use my 'dirty underwear' analogy...imagine the President as your clothing; you change them every 4 or 8 years, and are guaranteed a new set after wearing them a maximum of twice. Now imagine Congress as your underwear, shouldn't you be changing them at LEAST as often as your clothes?
At that point I'll just stop using Hulu. And I'm almost ready to tell Cox to take their digital cable box and stick it up their corporate ass.
Do it! You may end up feeling as liberated as I do...and, you will give yourself a $100+/month raise..
Already done all that, but it was the sports thing (NFL in particular) that kept me wired... However, just last week I said 'screw it, I'll live fine without' and cancelled my cable TV. I can get all the major networks OTA. The only thing I'd be missing is ESPN MNF, and with that crew who really cares? (Yes, Jaws is gone but Gruden still gets on my nerves.)
I was fully expecting the rep to attempt an bundle upsell (or at least send me to retentions), but nope, I was cheerfully disconnected.
As far as fairness to content providers and/or the legality of the above methods goes, my position is they should have thought of that when they were implementing DRM, adding ads to what was originally sold as an ad-free alternative to OTA, restrictive licensing, requiring consumers to re-purchase their content for multiple devices, and generally hitting the consumer for whatever they could get away with. I've spent tens of thousands over the years on music, movies, games, and other forms of entertainment and will continue to spend... but it will now be on my terms until they stop screwing us.
I'm not cracking on Nintendo by any means, but they did quietly remove GameCube BC from the latest release of the Wii.
