Some people avoid buying a smartphone precisely because many carriers force purchase of a data plan. For example, Virgin Mobile USA offers pay-per-minute voice service starting at $20 per 90 days but won't activate that plan on a smartphone. Instead, plans that can be activated on a smartphone start at $35 per month, which is five times as much.

The Top 800 is included in the subquery because MS SQL returns an error without it- Can't use an Order By in a subquery without a TOP. 800 just happens to be ~5x the current number of Model Points in the Model Points Table (and thus, this function should NEVER return that many rows).

I believe they would actually be called Sodomites, which is already funny enough.

The data plan issue is a bigger one, I think.

But it'll be interesting to see if this goes anywhere.

Oh, so the French regularly use their armed forces against their own populace? That's even better.

But then you have to pay hundreds of USD for an iPhone (or maybe one hundred for a compatible Android phone) and hundreds of USD per year to upgrade from voice-only cellular service to smartphone service. Or what am I missing?

Often, yes. Always, no. I've had three credit cards. None of them charge any interest because I pay in full each month with an ACH transfer from my checking account.

The currency or the car?

(In before "yes".)
