I would have ordered it instantly at up to $199 carrier-free. $199 with a 2-year ATT contract? Pfft. No way (and I'm a long-time Prime customer with a FireTV and multiple Kindles).

There's a ton of these generic MTK-processor-based phones available online; I bought and played with a few a year or two ago. They range from "really crappy" to "pretty nice", but in most all cases you're stuc

You say "I was willing to interview/learn more Rails" - yet your resume has the cringe-worthy statement "If you made it to this page, it probably means you need a KICKASS Ruby on Rails developer"? You need to edit&#

I can say that I was born and raised in Oklahoma, and lived there until I moved to Texas in 1996. I had never heard of earthquakes happening in the state until the past 2-3 years when my mother mentioned them to me (she still lives in SW O
