I'll leave the expansion up to the reader.
How do you know it's gov property? There's no identification on it. It's stuck to your property. I'd say you own it and are free to do with it as you please.
If they ask for it back, say they have to prove it's theirs. And give you a receipt that you returned it.
Really? I work about 90 hours a week, and haven't had a single week actually "off" in about ten years.
Selfish bastard. You could share some of that work, there's enough to do for two or three people there.
Don't worry, they'll have to hire someone else when he works himself into an early grave.
How is this a GPS problem? Maps existed before GPS...
Yeah. I don't that that is an effect of GPS so much as an effect of the online maps (Google Maps, etc). Of course, those are dependent on GPS, so I guess it's a secondary effect.
i like t mobile's plan scheme, where the first 2gig is at full speed and then your speed gets knocked down. instead of paying an arm and a leg for the data. their data plans are $10 a month and i've always been able to tether for free using the phone off the shelf. i hate to say it, but with their shitty service and all but they've got the best setup. all told i think that is a $20-50 per month saving
I've got T-mo as well. My (un-rooted) Vibrant came with a option in the settings to enable it to be a WiFi AP. When I bought the phone I was told that I could tether with no extra charges. Then a couple of months after I got it, this came out:
T-Mobile recently announced the upcoming availability of a Tethering and Wi-Fi Sharing service plan that enables select smartphones to function as wireless modems for connecting devices, such as laptops, tablets and netbooks, to the Internet through the T-Mobile network.
I've only used it a couple of time, for my iPad, and so far they haven't modified my plan. But from the wording, it looks like they could. I suppose they'll only go after the biggest data hogs.
Then they took two more but filled various body cavities in the Pinto with rigid urethane foam.
I don't think I want to fill my body cavities with foam!

That's pretty standard legalese found in most SLAs. So is RIM a controlling hippie, also?
... now pany batteries are chipped. 'for your protection' but they are authentication chipped for vendor lock-in (or lock-out, depending on POV).
Sometime 'for your protection' really means for your protection. If you put some cheap knock-off battery in the device, maybe it has different charge characteristics and the device will over-charge it, which can cause all kinds of problems.
Basically, the fluid cannot settle into little pockets because the (fictional) centripetal force is pushing it outwards along the fin channels.

The used car salesman knows when he is lying.
My Blackberry has $5/month global roaming capabilities for data, I don't think it's anything special that you can't get.
A co-worker and I went to South America, he took his T-Mobile BB. I asked about data, he said he had the international data and it wouldn't cost him any extra. He neglected to check on the voice rates, however, and ended up with a $2k voice bill. Fortunately the company reimbursed him (but told him not to do that again).
It turns out that breasts contain high concentrations of magnetic material.
I guess that's why I'm attracted to them!
I think more likely that a vendor with laugh at Microsoft, spit in their face, and go with Android.
Maybe that's their plan.
