That was my exact situation, in 1997. Unemployment had caused me to fall behind on the student loan. Needed a transcript for the new job. Called them. Funny enough "let me have a transcript so I can get the job that will result in you getting paid back" seemed reasonable to them too.

Microsoft would never use the newly acquired patents to force companies to stop using them. They would use the newly acquired patents to force companies to pay a fee to use them. Specifically, they would suggest to Google that they should license the SSL patent for use in Chrome.

I'll chime in with the T-Mobile people. The biggest problem with T-Mobile is their coverage. However, you should easily be able to tell if it is going to be a problem for you. In my case, it isn't, but many coworkers that live in more rural areas have problems. I have a cheaper android phone, purchased unlocked from Newegg, with data turned off. I have the T-Mobile pay-as-you-go SIM-only plan. Buy the minutes $100 at a time, because then they don't expire for a year. Otherwise, it is generally 90 days. At home and work I have wireless access (along with most places I go). So I only miss the full data plan once or twice a year, and it certainly isn't worth the price difference to get it.

To understand a program you must become both the machine and the program.
