AFAIK, Verizon does not offer any unlimited plans that do not throttle. I could be wrong but it was true when I was looking to switch carriers a year back.

The unfortunate problem is that Verizon is typically the only service you can get reliably out in the boonies, so its not like there was that much choice.

There was this one time I told sprint I was quitting my job at Radio Shack and to change my plan to a stanard, non employee one (the Unlimited everything and $50 store download credit a month for $25 back in 2006) and they kept the plan rolling for a year before I swapped providers due to crappy coverage.

But that doesnt counter all the shit I've had to deal with other carriers.

Yeah, but this is written in the wireless contract. NN doesn't do anything to stop that, as this is throttling due to data caps, not what service you are trying to reach. This has been going on for ages that wireless providers sell unlimited plans that have data caps.

Comment I already knew who my new boss was going to be. (Score 1) 540

So besides a decent pay raise and a job title change I needed (Tier 2 Help Desk to Systems Administrator), I already knew who my boss was going to be. Very flexible with Telework and days off, gives us comp time off the record (company doesnt recognize it, but he lets us take extra time off or half days should we work late on others), and has the mentality of "As long as I dont hear any complaints about you guys, I do not care what you guys are doing. You're all adults and I trust you to get the work done."

The job has given me a ton of growth that I needed as well. I'm heading up out 2008R2 to 2016 and vSphere 5.5 to 6.5 migration and getting a job title change to vSphere Admin in a few weeks which comes with a 50% pay bump. Not too shabby for being with the company for less than a year so far and my real Sys Admin gig.

I could have clarified that I meant anything you back as a product not made is a scam. The huge difference between Kickstarter and Indiegogo is that Kickstarter requires a working prototype before you can even ask for funding. Yeah, Kickstarter projects fail, but they require more than a design on a napkin like Indiegogo.

Comment Keep in mind that... (Score 3, Interesting) 84

Keep in mind that this is the same company that showed "test footage" of Tempest 4000 running on their hardware only to back down when the maker of Tempest 4000 said they never ported the code, let alone even get approached about licensing. Atari backed down later saying it was just the PC version to show what could be running on it. Daily reminder that if its on Indiegogo, its a scam.
