Maybe they could use those cameras to catch sign-stealing?

I'm sure if you look around on their website, they'll offer the SIM for free. Here's a link to the Groupon page of T-Mobile stuff:

In my case, I went to a T-Mobile store, and mentioned that I could get the SIM free off the tmobile.com website, and they gave me the SIM without asking further.

When are the commercial airlines going to protest this service, like the cab industry protested Lyft and Uber?

To me, the Leaf looks like a butt-ugly frog. Maybe if the Nissan Leaf were as sleek a design as the Tesla, Nissan might sell a few more. I dont understand why car companies assume that electric or hybrid cars need to have "weird" designs.

An anonymous reader writes: 'The mood toughened just over a month ago, when I received a phone call from the centre of government telling me: "You've had your fun. Now we want the stuff back."`
'one of the more bizarre moments in the Guardian's long history occurred – with two GCHQ security experts overseeing the destruction of hard drives in the Guardian's basement just to make sure there was nothing in the mangled bits of metal which could possibly be of any interest to passing Chinese agents. "We can call off the black helicopters," joked one as we swept up the remains of a MacBook Pro.`

Kenyan Chief Foils Robbery Via Twitter 50
PolygamousRanchKid writes with this quote from CNN:
"A Kenyan chief in a town far from the bustling capital foiled a predawn robbery recently using Twitter, highlighting the far-reaching effects of social media in areas that don't have access to the Internet. Chief Francis Kariuki said he got a call in the dead of the night that thieves had broken into a neighbor's house. Local residents, who subscribe to his tweets through a free text messaging service, jumped into action. They surrounded the house, sending the thugs fleeing into the night. In the town 100 miles from Nairobi, a majority of residents don't have access to computers, the Internet or smart phones. The sporadic cyber cafes strewn across the landscape charge for Internet access. However, almost every household has a cell phone and text messages are a major form of communication in the nation."

Just using oversimplified math, I divided 45,000,000 by 365 (days) and got 123,287 per day. I know that's not "real," but helps to give some perspective.

So they lost 21,000 domains in a day? According to WikiPedia, they had 45 MILLION domains registered through them in 2010! Bet they didn't even notice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Daddy
Comment Acme! (Score 1) 102
I believe the Acme mail order company shipped a similar set of springs to Wile E. Coyote back in the late 60s or early 70s for prior art. Coyote put them on his feet to try and catch Road Runner, but they didn't work. (I wonder what Acme's return policy was like?)
