I'm a loyal VZW customer and have zero issues with their customer service. It's great, and I have no reservations about recommending them highly to anyone. But, if you're not having any issues with your carrier, why switch? If you're switching for a phone, I recommend against it. You're in Chicago right? I think T-Mobile rolled out their HSPA+ on the data side, and technically, it is faster than Verizon's EV-DO if your device supports it, though the coverage doesn't compare. If you have a smart phone, expect to pay more than $30 more per month, closer to $60 more. You'll pay more for the plan (amount will vary), but the data is a separate feature, another $30. Verizon definitely has the network, but you will pay to play. If you travel a lot, then that's a serious consideration, but if you've not had any coverage problems, and you're happy, I'm not sure why to make the switch. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

I'm not a droid-phile, but are you able to use the trackball on your Eris to select a "dismiss" option? Or can you select the menu to pull up a dismiss versus snooze? If not, just make the switch to a Blackberry, whose alarm clock is plenty easy to dismiss or sleep, with no complications...then you could join our dz.com bb messenger group. Oh the debauchery!! So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

So, you cannot cite a source. Got it. Instead, look up information related to the MEDEVAC resources and the "golden hour". The survival rate is astonishing considering what we are going through over there. I'm living proof. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

I too wish there was a more defined policy (and stronger too). Frankly, I lay accountability across the board for this. Every state in the Union benefits to one measure or another by the Space program (California and Texas in particular). With the knowledge of when the shuttle program would be ending I blame the whole lot for not maintaining a priority to have a replacement program developed and ready to rock-n-roll in time for the shuttle's retirement. We've known for what? At least ten years. With all the research and development that's been done over decades past, there certainly was enough knowledge in place to complete the task. There was a lack of leadership, and there was a lack of initiative at NASA to keep hammering at the door until somebody sh*t or got off the pot. There was a lack of pressure from the governors whose economies will now suffer further as the shuttle retires and we see thousands of layoffs in the process. We have no one to blame but ourselves. In allowing our society to not see the US as being at the forefront of achievement, we've lapsed and allowed "good enough" to suffice. We will see a brain drain and the space program will not recover from this until someone with some serious balls steps in and rights this ship. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

By the way, that's hilarious!! So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Check out the Droid X video here on Engadget too... http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/motorola-droid-x-review/ They also bring the EVO into the mix. Very good review. The summer is going to be good for Android fans, Samsung is launching a 4 carrier version of the Galaxy S...

With only two shuttle missions left, what else is NASA going to do? The US will lose the ability to put man in space for the first time. It is a tragedy of national proportions that is not getting enough visibility.

Nowadays, the teacher would be suspended, and the parents would sue the district for not automatically giving Kevin an "A"... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

After the 7.62 was adopted, people using the 7.62 at Camp Perry were routinely outscoring higher-ranked shooters. While the 30-06 was grouping around 1 MOA, the 308/7.62 was grouping 0.5-0.75 MOA. There are many reasons why the 5.56 was adopted, but inaccuracy of the 7.62 *wasn't* one of them. I wasn't talking about the accuracy of the round, I was talking about the equipment used to fire them. It all depends on the choice of equipment doesn't it. I'll take the iron sights on an M4 or M16A4 versus the iron sights on any AK-47 variant out there any time, anywhere. Inasmuch as I can keep my Type 56S on a 1" TargDot at 100 metres all day long with ChiCom ammo, it does not seem that there is anything fundamentally wrong with the system from where I sit (not to worry, I am Expert with the poodle-shooter as well). I suspect your prejudices against stem from a lack of familiarity, just as my postjudices against the Armalite offering stem from an excess of familiarity. The ascendancy of the 5.56 in the AR-15 is a case in point of mediocrity becoming a virtue. BSBD, Winsor Not lack of familiarity, when guys were shooting at me with AKs, I noticed quickly that they either had to walk rounds in to even be near me or when I saw Iraqi Special Police shooting we could see erratic firing even on "near" targets (

No Gawain, there are a bunch more than that out there. Oh...501? I think Steve Jobs at Apple has an issue with that... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

If Microsoft wasn't going to do, VZW was going to help them. I read on another "blog" that internal numbers were showing that VZW managed to sell 500 across the country during that time.... Given that, I give props to Microsoft for pulling the plug, and rolling that team over to the Windows Phone 7 project...hopefully, they'll share all the dirty details of failure so that 7 comes out shiny.

Then kindly share the math you used to claim an 8% inflation rate using the CPI, because I don't see it there either. Since you don't know the components of the CPI (and neither do I), why would you tabulate inflation from that instead of the official inflation figures provided on the same place?

Specifically? Senator Coburn's question about the Commerce Clause most notably. She's demurred on a few others. Having listened to audio of some of her comments as solicitor general (v. Citizens United), her stance on the First Amendment is wholly alarming.

Based on how she was answering some of the other questions, I say, "Hell no!" So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

there you go making shit up again. 2008 was the only year with notable inflation, and even that was < 4%. 2002 was 1.59%, just a hair over 1998 (1.58), the only two years below 2% for those two Presidents. $1000 in 1993 would cost 1207.56 in 2001 $1000 in 2001 would cost 1214.14 in 2009 (based on CPI) http://www.westegg.com/inflation/ Nice try oh protector of the Bush; denyer of the Bush as well. http://inflationdata.com/inflation/consumer_price_index/historicalcpi.aspx Love your term, "notable."

It's still a NATO 5.56 round, just "enhanced". The Army has issued M14 7.62 rifles to "designated" marksmen, but that's typically one or two per squad, if that. People love to poo-poo on the M4, but it's a hammer. It can drop a target well beyond 600m in the right hands. One would be lucky to hit the broad side of a barn with an AK47 past 200m...piece of junk. I'll take an M4 or M16A4 any day. The 5.56x45 round is inappropriate for antipersonnel use, any way you cut it. The statement alone does not make it true. Maximum effective range for an M4 on a point target is rated at 550m. Beyond that, it's still got plenty of punch, easily out to 800m. Can it blow through wall? No, but that's also not its design. If you need to blow through a wall, you use something to blow through a wall. Certainly, the 7.62 round has its application, or else they wouldn't be used as much as they are. They're an excellent choice for many applications. I never got to use the M-60, only its successor, the 240B. Both are pigs, but lay down the business. The M249 is an absolutely amazing piece of equipment, despite its faults. Very accurate, and very tough overall, even in high-heat conditions. I am touting practical experience. You can throw a text book around all you want, an accurate 5.56 round is infinitely more lethal than an inaccurate 7.62 as far as its target is concerned. I'll take the M4 over an AK any day.

Those are the new legs. The really important factor is how the cat's skin is attaching itself to the metal pins affixed to the bone of the leg. If they could do that for humans....wow...

I watched some of the BBC stuff on line this weekend. THAT'S THE SH*T RIGHT THERE! If the Army or whomever ever wants to experiment on a human trial for that technology that allows the flesh to grow to the skin - I'm all over that idea. The idea of supporting my weight on my leg vs. the ramus/ishium with the outer socket is totally what I hope we'll see one day.
