It's also great with services like My Circle where you get 10 free phone numbers on your cell plan. Add your Google Voice number, tell Google Voice to display the Voice Caller ID rather than the caller and have Google Voice forward all calls to your cell. Unlimited free incoming calls....

I'd have to agree completely with this statement. It does feel snappier, and to know it's using 17% less power is making me smile too. It's justification enough right there to upgrade the other 3 PCs in my house. That alone will save me $15-$20 a month on the electric bill.

Tunecore only charges you 99 cents to add iTunes distribution for an album. It's only 99 cents per store actually and you can also put it into Rhapsody, Napster, eMusic, Amazon MP3 and a half dozen other digital distribution stores. The $31 charge is actually comprised of a $20 flat setup fee for the album per year, plus 99 cents per track (10 tracks avg) and 99 cents for the digital distribution store. Tunecore does not keep a dime of what you earn from the online stores, after you pay the initial fee, unlike CDBaby which takes a percentage of all digital sales on top of their setup fees. iTunes pays 70 cents per track sold to the artist who uses Tunecore to distribute their music.

Cell phones work the same way here in the US too. They switch over to 'Emergency Service Only' status on the screen and only 911 works.

Wasn't Verizon forced to agree to an open device network in order to even bid on this spectrum?

Isn't that what they impeached Clinton for - lieing to congress? Mitch Bainwol needs to sit in jail for a year or two and think about it.

Windows 7 after Vista is nothing more than Windows ME was a revision of Windows 98. It's just window dressing with necessary fixes to a failed OS release. Don't get me wrong, I'm actually looking forward to a better Vista in 7 - as is the rest of the world who still has to rely on Windows for whatever reason.

Wait a second. These guys work for us. They are there because we put them there. They should READ THE BILLS themselves, whether they want to or not - it is their job. Do I get a staff of 20 people to read all my work for me? Do you? They need to do the job they are paid for and read every single bill, every single word - ALOUD for the record and C-Span.

I don't think the primary goal here is capture and prosecution of the controllers, but shutting the botnet down. Shouldn't that be the priority?

I'd suggest NASA get started on an 'effective' PR department then, because if everyone doesn't know what you have planned in more detail - nobody is going to continue to support your efforts.

Yea, that really pissed me off too. No 64bit beta support means no chance of me even bothering with them after beta.
