You can port numbers to prepaid phones. Just buy a crappy prepaid phone for 15 bucks and port the number to it, then port it back. It couldn't be easier. 1 buy prepaid phone 2 port number to prepaid phone 3 pay to cancel att contract 4 buy new iphone at full price 5 sign back up with att ( they might charge a deposit since you cancelled before ) 6 port number back to att 7 show off your shiny new iphone to all your friends at the next poetry reading 8 bonus - tweet everyone about how clever you were to save $20

My grandmother had one of these phones. It was a rotary phone hard wired to the phone line in the house. Just a couple years ago she had the phone company come out and install a second bell in the phone to make it ring louder. I couldn't believe that they actually still had mechanical ringers to install into rotary telephones from the 50s. It worked quite well too, you could hear the phone ring almost a block away.

Submission + - Fate - is it a myth?

Matthendrix writes: "http://www.cavemanpower.com/forum/fate_is_it_a_myt h-t15.0.html How many time do you hear somebody say "oh, it was meant to happen" when reflecting on a misfortune? I hear it occasionally, and I find it fascinating, because by making that statement the person is actually implying some massive presuppositions. They include: * Belief that life is intelligently controlled by an ethereal power * Belief that they are part of a "grand" or "divine" plan Are these people just whistling in the dark? Too afraid to face the terrifying prospect that life is chaotic?"
