That's not quite what he's saying as none of the iPad models are available with a 2-year contract including the 3g models. You are always paying full price for the hardware and with the 3g models have the ability to cancel the data plan at

Google+ also works for me. 90% of the content in my stream was not published publicly though so it wouldn't look like there's anything going on to an outside observer.

Amazons credit card through chase is 3% on purchases at amazon.com, 2% for gas at most locations and 1% on everything else. Where the cash back works out is on things you have to spend money on anyway and can't get cheaper, gas being a good

In addition to the free shipping on 2 day delivery or the $4 next day delivery we purchase a lot from amazon on our chase/amazon credit card due to the 3% cash back on purchases from amazon. We pay the card off every month and then by the t

Downtown has Laclede's landing, Busch Stadium, the James Edwards Dome, Scott Trade Center etc. There's other places that I'm forgetting, but that's a draw to down town for nights and weekends if you are into sports, drinking, and live music

I agree actually, I was just pointing out that it was a bit hypocritical to hold up the oatmeal as a good example of responding to being ripped off. I'm not particularly offended by the response of DHH to curebits either.

You realize there's two parts to the oatmeal response right? It also includes strong language. For example: "To the users of FunnyJunk: I never had plans to sue FunnyJunk and get it shut down; I just wanted my stolen comics removed -- your

You are absolutely right and the few people pointing this out are being ignored. I think the real underlying issue is that most people want to feel like they are doing something without actually doing anything. This is why online petitions,

People don't read. That's the crux of the issue. My work entails dealing with people every day. 99.9% of the errors that we have to correct are directly due to people not following instructions if they did read them, or more often not readi

Unfortunately while this is becoming a mainstream issue many news agencies are framing this as tech companies being pro-piracy. Much more unfortunately many people aren't even bothering to read the pages that are blacked out today to unders

AdamOutler is not one that would have trouble uploading source code to the device. He's saying that it's not compilable. There are other threads and statements saying there are missing components from the source release.

He's asking for them to release the Kernel source in compilable/working form which it doesn't currently appear to be in. He's not asking for the userland apps, or even binary kernel modules to be released.

Not really. A lot of people could have moved their domains off of one of the go daddy parking services which use different go daddy name servers than domaincontrol. This particular method of determining transfers in and out is completely fl

The metrics being used in the article do not have any basis in reality. The number of domains associated with a name server are not representative of the number of domains transferred. Godaddy could have transferred 100% of the domains they

My first thought was along the lines of someone could put together a much better interface for this and integrate it with Twilio. The Twilio part would take no time at all. The only real problem is recording all of the names. It's really to

I felt the same way. On most days I've already had lunch and am back to work by 12:30. At 7pm I would be cleaning up from having dinner with my family and be heading off to have a light saber battle or play trains with my son. I worked a jo

This is exactly correct. It should also be pointed out that while the nerd-rage surrounding SOPA is all completely valid the same type of response was seen during the build up to the votes on the DMCA and congress had no trouble passing the

I don't think a company like Google could do that even if the top brass wanted to. It wouldn't fly with share holders, would likely be a breach of fiduciary duty etc. It's another great sounding idea that just won't happen.
