Comment Just had to do this... (Score 1) 136

I went back to my old iPhone temporarily, but when I switched back to my android I wasn't getting some people's text messages. Thanks to this post, I know why! Went online to deregister my phone number and problem solved. It is a bummer to think how many text messages are now lost floating in cyber space.

Comment Don't Need to Memorize/Give Info in Schools (Score 1) 553

The last thing young people in school need is more information. In seconds someone can lookup almost any information they will ever need on the interwebs. Students need to learn how to analayze and make sense of all the information they have been given. What do people do once they work in the "real world"? Certainly not memorize everything they need to do their jobs. Lookup information, narrow it down to what you need to accomplish a task, and solve the problem. That's what schools should teach.
