That would work as long as they hide their customer service questionaire behind a code provided by the human tech support.

Congress is not acting fucktarded. They are acting like the greedy, self-serving bastards they have always been. They are just so blatantly obvious of their greed now than in the past, that they seem so fucktarded.
Don't they usually have keys with the picture of the food on it?
Haven't shopped at home depot for awhile, but most of the kiosks I have run across have a button on the screen that says something to the effect of skip bagging for this item.
Not around here. When the kiosks first came out, no one used them (was a wonderful line skipping time for us introverts). Now people are waiting in line to use one of the 4-8 kiosks. Usually I have to stand in a cashier's line, because either the line is too long for the kiosk, or there are clueless users of kiosks using them.
They actually show cased this tech when RFID first came out. I was excited that finally this would happen. However, it has never panned out, with the conspiracy theorists, unions, negative nancies, or whoever is holding this tech from my grocery/retail shopping experience.
...there's always the occasional customer who's completely clueless on the automated system and blows this out of the water.
Occasional? The majority of people, I am behind at the kiosk, act like they have never used a computer before in their life.
I guess that is an age thing. Most of the younger adults care what everybody thinks about them. Us 35+ers, couldn't care less about what the person at the counters thinks of us. We'll stroll up to the counter with a basket full of alcohol, correct sized condoms, and femine hygiene products for the wife.
I usually have no problems with the grocery store kiosk, except waiting for the moron in front of me to figure out how to use it. However, I am not one of those people that memorize the prices for everything in their cart. So, I could be getting screwed, but wouldn't know it. Also, if I am buying something that needs to be weighed, such as produce, I use a cashier and not the kiosk.
The convenience factor is huge with me. Too bad everyone starting using them, when they first came out I was one of the only ones to use it. Used to be able to skip the lines at checkout.
Is it just Hyatt's and other similarly priced hotels that have the kiosks? I'm an introverted traveler that has never seen a check-in kiosk. Does the kiosk spit out the room key?
That news reporter is awesome, she didn't even crack a smile when his chair broke. I would have been rolling on the floor laughing, literally.
You do know, if you are calling domestically from the US on a wireless phone, you do not have to put the prefix 1 on the beginning of the phone number. I noticed that with my first cell phone over 10+ years ago.
And every time I use a landline, I get annoyed with the operator message that I need to use a 1 to dial a long distance. You would think if I didn't enter more than ten digits they would know to dial domestically.
I don't mind them manufacturing slider phones, I just do not want one. It adds too much extra bulk to a phone.
IMO, the perfect size was a 4" screen.
However, I have a shorter than average height. I currently have the GNex, and find it a little large. I have to use two hands to steady the phone while using it.
It would be ideal if I could power on the phone with my pinky resting on the bottom to keep it from slipping out of my hand. As it is now, I can do that, but my thumb/index finger is stretching all the way up to the power button (right, top of phone) and usually my pinky will slip off the bottom before I reach it.
I also used to be able to swipe and type one handed with the OG Nexus. Now I hold the phone with my left hand and type with my right.
It's shame they can't offer people different sizes of the same phone (especially nexuses? nexii?). Give people the option of the 4", 4.5", and 5" screens.
There are only two reasons why people are not on your top tier:
1. TWC and other companies charge too much for the privilege of having the top tier. The mid grade is good enough for most.
2. TWCost of their competitors broadband has a very low cap. What is the point of having faster broadband if you pass the cap in the first week of the month.
I don't have TWC (Cox country here). Just looked at their site they have 6 tiers of internet speed.
