   I had a similar experience with my BBS. We did UUCP with some rather remote nodes and I had 11 incoming lines (the maximum BellSouth would install in a residence) so the bills were not trivial. Each month I’d post the prior month’s bill tot

   My wife’s 6+ was incredibly slow after the iOS upgrade. My 6+ drained the battery incredibly quickly. I was told that upgrading the iOS would fix that problem [0]; it didn’t. Instead it slowed my phone to the point of being unusable. If I’d

   I actually encountered this with my 6+, which I eventually upgraded. It was quickly depleting the battery, but the tests showed it was fine. The tech urged me to upgrade to the latest iOS, which I was hesitant to do, since I'd heard do

   I just went through a similar system at Hong Kong. It worked well and I breezed through the automated gates while a long line of people were backed up at the traditional line. Perhaps they just did a better job of designing the system, but

   I frequently tweet at airlines when I travel. They’ve never bent space and time to solve a problem, but they have followed up on several occasions to make a situation better when I’d otherwise just be frustrated and unhappy. I’ve also had t

   I must say, the drivers who use their Tesla as an Uber do a hell of a job of representing the company and making the brand accessible. I am not fully ready to purchase a car and don’t want to deal with a sales pitch, but got a great overvie

   The DNS issue was the clincher for me, but I followed their instructions for disabling it and it reappeared when the router was rebooted (not reset). Overall, I’m rather happy with my current setup. I bought the most recent SB modem availab

    I was told I could not disable their hotspot, nor could I set my own DNS servers. Since I kept having connectivity issues due to Comcast’s DNS being flaky, and not wanting to manually configire every client, I bought my own modem and wirele

    Do you have T-Mobile? The Spam Caller thing is actually a feature they implemented a while back. You can set the system to block such calls, but the FCC wouldn’t let them automatically block calls without user permission. [0] http:/&

    I started by taking responsibilities for small teams and discrete portions of projects. From there, responsibilities expanded. Now I run a team of around 100 and focus most of my day on admin and training instead of actually creating work p

    Why is it your responsibility to find them a new vendor? Tell them when you'll stop servicing their account and offer to take reasonable steps to transfer the work to the new vendor of their choice.

    Strange. I just bought a condo with them in DC. We were in a competitive bidding situation and the speed at which we were able to close (compared to other offers) was the thing that sealed the deal. I added a lender I hadn't considered
