Comment Audio (Score 1) 142

More uniformed consumers following a fad. We have had 2 superior music formats for decades - DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD. Unfortunately both of them never caught on. Blu-Ray Audio has been around for a long time as well yet because of limited support all 3 formats have remained dormant. Oh what could have been.

You will have to deport all the FBI agents who actually instigated the so-called "riot". You know the "riot" where the capitol police officers waved in protestors and the worst the protestors did was get a photo op in Pelosi's office Now how about we deport those who set Washington, DC on fire last August?

A lot of Made in America clothing was actually made in the Northern Mariana Islands which is a US Commonwealth like Puerto Rico. The minimum wage from 1997 to 2007 was $3.05 making it cost effective to produce clothing there. The minimum wage was raised in 2007 and is currently $5.05 with plans to make it equal with the US federal minimum wage by 2015. Unfortunately when the minimum wage was raised, the Northern Marianas were no longer able to complete with China and by 2009 the island's garment industry went caput.

I never thought of Geocities as a blogging network. It was just the place where I put up my first ever webpage (for free which was awesome back then) somewhere around 1996. It was on the South Beach (if people recall the various neighborhoods and addresses within each where your site would go).

"Verizon issued a clarification to The New York Times today, noting that the loss of grandfathered unlimited plans will be limited to those customers purchasing new subsidized devices for use on the carrier. Users who do not upgrade their devices or who choose to upgrade at unsubsidized prices will be able to keep their unlimited data plans. Still, the change would appear to be set to affect the majority of Verizon's current unlimited data customers, as most customers are interested in regular handset upgrades at subsidized prices. - Customers will not be automatically moved to new shared data plans. If a 3G or 4G smartphone customer is on an unlimited plan now and they do not want to change their plan, they will not have to do so. - When we introduce our new shared data plans, Unlimited Data will no longer be available to customers when purchasing handsets at discounted pricing. - Customers who purchase phones at full retail price and are on an unlimited smartphone data plan will be able to keep that plan. - The same pricing and policies will be applied to all 3G and 4GLTE smartphones."
