I recently moved to a rural area where VZW is the ONLY carrier providing service. Unfortunately I had to leave T-Mobile (which I loved) and come to the Dark Side. I always thought it was kind of silly that they charge so much extra for the wireless hotspot service. I guess probably enough people were tethering without that service that they decided to just roll it into their data fees and make it non-optional. I cannot wait until another carrier, any carrier other than VZW, offers service here.

I have an account on Watson, but I have not really used it. We were going to attempt to port our code to the BlueGene architecture, but it's a royal pain to code for and it doesn't scale well for some applications. Ours runs much better on fewer, faster CPUs with lots of RAM rather than many, slower CPUs with little RAM.

I used to love those games when I was a teenager. I don't know if it's that I'm older and wiser, or the conversion to more realistic 3D instead of sprite people, but the video makes me feel a little ill now.
I'm not passing judgement on the game or people who might enjoy it. I might even actually enjoy it. I was expecting to be excited watching the video but I did not have the reaction I expected.

I prefer Documents to Go, but I have no idea if that's supported on iOS. It even integrates with Google Docs.

Eh, I've been here before, many times, though I appreciate your invitation to discuss. This comment:

"I am quite open to multiple possibilities (excluding the absence of a Creator, I have had personal experiences that preclude this possibility)"

tells me that there's nowhere else to go with this conversation, unless you're willing to critically examine those personal experiences in the light of what is known about human psychology and the fallibility of memory.

Here's my setup, I love it: Image on treadmill product page

This AC comment immediately below explains the only scenario in line with the evidence: http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2881235&cid=40144677 At that point, the god is uninvolved after hitting the 'go' button, so really it's a moot point. That's not the god of the Abrahamic religions for sure.

It did have a purpose in the past, yes, the purpose is debated. Currently its purpose is to explode and kill you. Maybe it's one of god's ways of getting rid of people he doesn't like? I'm betting you're intimiately familiar with the function of your prostate. I'm not a doctor but I've got a PhD in biomedical engineering, and I'm married to a doctor. This was just one of many examples where it makes sense if evolution is working alone, but not if an "intelligent designer" is making the decisions. There are many web sites full of smarter people than me explaining why intelligent design is most probably wrong. I suggest you have a look (but given my experience I doubt you will).

I used to think that way. It's a rationalization to appease the religious part of your brain. The fact is, you are still denying the evidence. If some higher power guided man's evolution, why do we have an appendix?

That is most definitely NOT what happened in the UK.

In fact it is still not listed, but as of yesterday I guess there are reports that it is working.

I am happy to hear it, however it was still not listed on their site as supported as of the time of my comment, no need to be snide.

That page has been up for a while now, this is not a new announcement. Astroturfing much? Also, they still will not do it on some phones, citing carrier restrictions. Note how none of their supported devices are on Verizon.
