I also agree about Sprint's terrible customer service. I think it's mandatory to flunk out of high school if you want a Sprint CSR position. The quality of service also depends which call center you get. The really terrible ones are in the old confederate states...sorry to say. Kentucky and...
So you think you know it all...guess you were too busy doing last years Christmas shopping to read the newspaper last December. The Man (US gobament) is basically subsidizing the operation of Iridium so certain gov't employees can use it. Exhibit A
I know all about latency. That is why sat...
MrCoyote, are you being serious or are you really that dumb? You obviously don't know what the hell you are talking about on pretty much everything you said. When people refer to "first incoming minute", they mean that it doesn't use any minutes. Yes, Sprint used to offer that...
The one good thing that Sprint offer that I don't think any other carrier does is nationwide long distance from anywhere. So you can go anywhere in the country and make call and not get charged long distance fees. I am pretty that with most other carriers that say they offer free nationwide...
Has anyone received a switch this week? I received one already but have been waiting for the second one. I emailed buy.com last week and they said:
We're sorry that the delivery of your order is taking longer than
expected. Due to a setback from the manufacturer, item #10223701, is on...
What about tax? No one seems to have covered that. Suppose I go to CompUSA and pick up a really nice monitor listed for $1000. I'd be paying $1000 plus $80 in taxes.
Now suppose Onvia has the same monitor for $900 with no tax and free shipping. Am I going to get back $180 from Amex or...
The one and only time I've ever gotten serious food poisoning was after eating at Crack in a box. I should have sued their asses for making me so sick.
I chatted with the ATT@home tech and asked if my area was DOCSIS compatible. He said no. Does anyone know if this modem will still work even if my area if not DOCSIS compatible...assuming they let me change modems and don't ask questions.
Taco Bell meat comes in these big plastic bags and it's has a thick soupy consistency...yummmm. All they do is heat it up and pour it into the meat bin. I wish you could buy it in stores.
The Taco Bells with the best food are the ones with mexican people making the food. Themz people...
Hmmm. I already have a StarTAC so this phone can't be that different. The silver spraypaint is also kinda tacky since it looks like crap once it starts peeling.
I think I'll wait for the next generation phones to come out. In Japan they have the coolest phones. Makes ours look like they...
I love generic car insurance commercials. The best ones are on during Jerry Springer(the golden years when they bashed heads). My favorite was Dashers...Dashers...Se habla espanol...evvvree day!
Then there's Eastwooooood....Stranger???
All of you who've seen it know what I'm talking about...
Woohoo! Bay Area has the highest tax rates like everything else. Cost too much to live in this area. $1.85 for regular unleaded, 1 hour commute to travel 20 miles. Of course I could move a little close to work if I could afford to pay $1900 for a 1 bdrm apt or $500k for a decent home that...
Hmmm. So they want to send a tech over. Maybe not such a hot deal for me after all since I am getting free cable right now. Hahaha...and no I am not stealing it. They just never took it away when I got my cable modem hooked up but I know they do nowadays.
for example in my area it is now changing to the tower modems.... for better upstream speeds...
What upstream speed?? Stupid @home here in the bay area (possibly the whole country) has the upstream capped at 128 kbits/sec (16 Kbytes/s). I couldn't even play certain games online sometimes...
Trend, you are one lucky bastard but don't you mean kB/s as in kilobytes, not kilobits. 500kbps isn't that fast but still much faster than the pathetic 128kbps cap @home has. Now, 500kBps is burning up the bandwidth.
What will I ever do without 3dfx. I think I'll kill myself.
I 3dfx's days were limited. I mean, who here has bought a 3dfx product in the last 6 months? Probably not many.
I remember the good ol' days of anandtech before the mods hit puberty and the surge of hormones resulted in the anal retentive policing of this forum.
You must remember, this place is run by a bunch of teenagers.
I ordered this drive last week. UPS tried to deliver on monday, I wasn't home so the idiots left it in my lobby even though they are NOT supposed to. Since my building has around 85 units I'm sure one of my lovely neighbors decided whatever was in the big box would make a nice christmas...
Sorry to dredge this thread up but I got my bill for the last month and they charged me the $34.99 price already. I emailed them about it and they charge one month in advance. I don't get it. I don't remember them charging me one month in advance when I first started using sprint. Did...
MOAN!!! Ordered CDRW from buy.com. Live in apartment building with 90 units. I wasn't home and UPS is never supposed to leave packages in the lobby. Probably some hired holiday help didn't know any better so he did a driver release and left it on table in my lobby.
Guess what...it was...
I don't think this item is in stock. I ordered last week and it still hasn't shipped. Sent an email to buy.com but no reply. Anyone have their unit shipped yet?
Damn, I hate onvia. They cancelled two of my order because I used the 25 off coupon and the item was conveniently out of stock. It's no wonder why their stock is at 1 dollar.
No doubt that it was the free MSN $400 at BestBuy. The store I went to let me get the gift cards we my little group walked out with $1600 worth of gift cards. Just cashed in $800 worth to get a superduper top of the line stainless steel fridge this weekend. Was 10% off and free delivery...
A little OT but everyone here used the 20% off coupon. I ordered a couple of CDs to round out my order. When I got the shipping notice email today they didn't apply the 20% off to the CDs so I got charged an extra 6 dollars to my order.
Was the MSN 20% off only for electronics or for...

I assume you can't combine free shipping and coupons? Haven't bought anything from buy.com in a long time since I live in Cali and tax usually wipes out any money i could save.

What is the URL for the nortel service. I'm also sick of getting server busy at i-link. If you try to call again within that 15 min lockout period it'll reset you time again.
