After a formal complaint and being parked in, this might help by yahoo258in pics

[–]Omikron 5 points6 points ago

People aren't going to hit your car if you are properly parked.

Dinged doors everywhere cry foul at your obviously false statement.

Unless some fucko decides to park next to you anyway, and then his idiot kid slams the door of his piece of shit mini van into your brand new car...I'm just saying it's happened to me.

How full is the lot? Looks like he's out on the far edge, I don't mind really if people double park in less than full lots as long as the do it way on the outskirts of the lot.

Australian model caught distracted during a photo shoot when the first plane hit tower 1 WTC on 9/11 by feureauin history

[–]Omikron 5 points6 points ago

It may have been soon enough after, before the second plane hit, that people were still thinking it was just an accident. I remember I was working in DC at the time and someone came in the office and said a plane had crashed into the WTC tower. We just said damn, that sucks and went back to work for a bit. We actually didn't realize how much shit was hitting the fan until we heard the explosion from Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon. All of this happened in a little under 1 hour I believe.

Somedays I yearn for simpler times by irishelcidin guns

[–]Omikron 3 points4 points ago

I really don't think so at all. I live in a semi rural area, can hunt and fish to my hearts content. Have a shooting range at my parents house I can use anytime I wish. Have access to land I can hike, ride, bike on anytime. Have a garden I grow some of my own food in. Yet I have a good job, decent income, a warm dry place to sleep every night and I can get pizza delivered any night of the week.

Some days I yearn for subsistence farming, dysentery, rampant illiteracy, horrible racism and sexism, you know...the good old days.

Motorola won't upgrade Droid 3 or X2 to ICS; their excuse: ICS will not "improve" these phones enough by mepperin Android

[–]Omikron 0 points1 point ago

Tried swype, didn't care for it, just didn't seem natural. I just touch type, but again the longest things I find myself typing are a few paragraphs, and that's rare. Maybe I'm not using my phone like everyone else, but I just very rarely have to type more than a few sentences, and for that the onscreen is just easier and more convenient.

I suppose it was just a lot of practice, I don't use any add-on keyboard, just the standard android one. I've just gotten used to using it. However I will admit I leave longer communications and emails that need to be more professionally formatted and worded to my PC. I plan to get an S3, I'll be interested to see how the bigger screen works with the onscreen keyboard. I really think it just comes down to a matter of practice.

Your friend must be functionally retarded. Anyway it's all personal preference. I used to swear by physical keypads, now I can't imagine every going back to one. To each their own.

Really 100%, I can't think of any voice based app ever in the history of the world that works 100% of the time...

Why so you can ask her how it feels to spend 50k on a worthless degree.

So the kids and I had some fun artistically organizing the DVDs... This is the result. [x-post from r/dvdcollection] by DVDJunkyin pics

[–]Omikron -2 points-1 points ago

What a horrible waste of money, that has to be almost 20,000 dollars in DVDs. I bet most of them were never watched more than once.

TED Talks: The Great Porn Experiment - Have our brains evolved to handle the hyperstimulation of today’s Internet enticements? Gary Wilson discusses the disturbing symptoms showing up in some heavy Internet users by Mind_Virusin technology

[–]Omikron 4 points5 points ago

Just because the talk has "experiment" in the title, doesn't mean it was a rigorous scientific endeavor. Doesn't make it any less interesting.

I don't think it's just the fact that he's an asshole that got him to where he's at now.

And just like in the real world that makes your boss a short sighted asshole, who's company will probably fail in the long run.

Your still over estimating how far 1 million dollars would go.

Verizon Will End Unlimited Data Grandfathering If You Buy A 4G Phone From This Summer Onward - Time to switch carriers by aesamattkiin Android

There's always a level at which you're abusing something. Like people who go to all you can eat and sit for 6 hours stuffing there face, they ruin things for the rest of the average users.

I'm not trying, I am blaming him. It's pretty obvious people like him are the reason they are dropping unlimited plans.

Am I the only one who doesn't see any source with this? Where are they getting this info?

Also the first comment on the site rings pretty true...

Am I really the only one laughing about "Oh Snap:"? Seriously. I LOL'ed.

On the actual topic: Why can't people figure out that if this actually effects your life, then you are absolutely NOT Verizon's target market? The old unlimited plans are the same price as the current 2gig plans. That means this only matters to you if you are on unlimited and using more than 2gig per month. If that's you, then Verizon would very much like to you to get the hell off their network. If that's you, then Verizon WANTS you to throw a hissy fit and go to some other carrier.

If that's you, NOBODY wants you to be their customer. They want your mom to be their customer. They want your idiot boss who can't figure out his DVR. They want your little sister who tweets and checks her facebook every 45 seconds so that her monthly data usage sometimes gets as high as 800meg if there's a big scandal at school. They do not want the guy who is burning through 20gig worth of data by streaming music all day long and using a rooted tether to his laptop for videos rather than paying for cable tv.

So, are you on unlimited and using more than 2gig/month? If not, why bitch? It doesn't effect you. If you are, why bitch? Verizon wants you to leave.
