Sorry I got the wrong agency. Doesn't really change anything about what happened. And, BTW I'm not a right winger(nice flamebait from an AC). I voted for Obama and have been very disappointed in my vote, because he did not do the left wing things he promised to. Even the ones that were totally under the control of the executive office.

Personally I can say that I view problems differently depending on what language I am thinking in. So, I have always though language effects how you approach things. Hell my daughter even tells me that I can sing better in German( she says I can match pitch in German and not in English ). So, I think it even effects perception not just thought.

But, I think this article misses the boat by saying certain constructs don't exist in English or Germany - because they do. I think it is more about popular use, so how do you make that sort of statement accurately about any number of languages. Still an interesting read though.

Yes, for now. I'm trying to way my options, wondering if the devil I know is better than the devil I don't know. I will not give my business to AT&T because of the whole telco immunity fiasco, and I want a GSM carrier so that does not leave me many options. Of course T-Mobile might be a part of AT&T soon anyway. This all happened Friday, my wife is due any second, after the baby is born I will have some time at home to find a new phone company.

They tried really hard to pin it on me and told me I changed something on my phone and that by using their data service I was agreeing to pay it. They lied and said they added nothing on my plan, but there was a new "by the mb data" service on my plan. After I called and complained, for 40 minutes and up the management chain, they put a new service on my plan "block on demand data" both of those items had never been on my plan before - but I changed something on my phone - Yea right!!! Asshats. So I can choose between cellular carriers that illegally send all of my data to the government and get retroactive immunity from prosecution or one with bad billing practices. Oh wait T-Mobile is getting bought by one of the law breakers, never mind I have no choice!

It can turn off data over cellular. Funny thing is that also turns off non text parts of MMS messages.

Since I specified a plan with no data component and even asked them if I could accidentally access the Internet and incur data charges and they said no I was really surprised when per MB data was added to my plan and I was charged. I know at least 5 people that were effected in the same way, it's just really unethical as a business practice to lie to your customers.
