As a former Verizon customer: I used about 15-20 gigs per month on a grandfathered unlimited high-speed LTE plan. Which I would have lost due to needed plan changes for other family members. So I went to T-Mobile. Have been with them three years now and get excellent value for dollar. I pay (out the door) $158 for 6 lines (all phones are already paid for) and my line has the full high speed unlimited add-on. I'm using around 25 gigs a month now.

That said, our experience all over Florida and the east coast is that when you have service, T-Mo is fine. But they have far more dead spots for data than Verizon. Verizon truly has a top-notch network. And crappy policies.

I can't imagine life without XPrivacy. Been using it for a few years now. I love the really really fine grained control it gives. Also fun busting apps asking for permissions they didn't declare in the Play Store page.

And when thieves use this info for identity theft and credit fraud, these poor people are going to have that much harder a time getting out of poverty!

Silver Metal Lover, by Tanith Lee. Human and android fall in love and deal with that, and regular life in a typical urban setting. Lots of social-issue philosophising underneath the solid characters and romance.

Greetings and many thanks for making such a great program, available on all my platforms!

Besides Christmas/winter holiday time, are there other special VLC Cone icons I've not seen yet?

It's worth noting that not everyone wants to search for everything. There was definitely a time and a place for curated news and lifestyle site sections. Being able to search in a literate fashion is likely the top needed computer skill for non-CS types, but after that, let people have fun!

Ahhh I get it now. A few days ago, I saw weird messages from Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman. There were OurMine links in them (which I avoided).

These guys sure are finding their way into a lot of accounts!

Um, I thought the "Click Start to shut down" thing began with Windows 95?

Um, what? Are you saying FFXIV *requires* a controller? Why would you say that when Twitch is full of streamers playing KBM? Heck, the PS4 version supports KBM and, aside from the crappy mouse DPI support it's quite good!

FFXI also supports KBM on PC but in a much more limited fashion.

I'm glad PayPal was proactive in your case of SSD fraud. They weren't so nice to me when I bought a "Clean IMEI Cellphone" which wound up on a fraud list less than 2 months after purchase, and within PayPal's purchase security/warranty window. Had to fork over good money after bad to get a new IMEI. Phone was otherwise perfect though!

I have no idea if I'm smart or dumb or both, but I have technically unique passwords for over 100 sites and work logins. I have a "core" password which I change rarely, plus 3-5 chars pertinent to that website. Have done this for years on the assumption that eventually a big enough site (like say, Slashdot in 2002) would get hit and the attackers would try my /. password everywhere.

Riiiight... but how many speed bumps have you encountered that can be safely and comfortably taken at 30 mph?

It really depends on the design of the speed bump. They can be made with enough curvature and height to require reducing speed to say 15mph and then be driven over smoothly. There are others that are too "peaked" and must be crawled over to avoid a serious jarring.

But that's beside the point unless your street is posted for a lower than standard 25/30 residential limit. Why should anyone expect speed bumps on a 30-limit outside of a school or pedestrian crossing?

I mean if I can go into the little girls room[...]

The only reason you should be going into the ladies' room is if you are female by sex or identity. One assumes you are biologically male, so then we have to assume you've dealt with gender identity dysphoria and maybe are seeing a doctor or therapist.

If you're walking up to the door with a camera crew in tow or a chip on your shoulder, then you might just be a misguided attention whore.

Which meaning of "fag" did you have in mind? A cigarette? Bundle of sticks? A homosexual individual?

Assuming you meant to equate drinkypoo with homosexual speech, can you elaborate? Which word choice or phrasing used by drinkypoo lines up with homosexual speech? What *is* homosexual speech? Do homosexuals use a different language?

And you might want to stay out of their toilet. That's a terrible way to measure fecal intellect.
