    Verizon's upcoming tiered data plans are forcing my hand. The leap into a smartphone.

    ooooh, sounds like if you come to verizon with a compatible phone as a new customer, you can start a month-to-month plan, get grandfathered in for unlimited data, and then sign up for a 2-year plan and get a phone discount when the good LTE phones come out later this year...

    Verizon's upcoming tiered data plans are forcing my hand. The leap into a smartphone.

    unless i'm missing something, your exchange with the verizon rep (particularly the bolded part) doesn't inspire me with confidence that you'll be able to use the 2-year upgrade discount later.

    Verizon's upcoming tiered data plans are forcing my hand. The leap into a smartphone.

    I'm thinking of doing this as well. Bring Verizon-compatible hardware to a Verizon store, open a new account (with data), and make sure that the rep notes on your account that you'll be using your 2-year contract discount on another phone in the future. As far as I can tell, it's allowed by...

    Is Baltimore really such a dump, or does TV make it look so

    my whole point in this thread is that people sh*tting on baltimore have no frame of reference, especially you. i posted a link of apples-to-apples stats on the country's largest 50 *metro regions* to show how baltimore compares to other *metro regions*. looking at baltimore city stats in...

    Is Baltimore really such a dump, or does TV make it look so

    it could be, but you'd have to be an idiot make that argument. many cities have higher chlamydia rates than the US population as a whole. a bunch of those cities have higher rates than Baltimore. for example - New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, etc. you don't understand the data that you posted...

    Is Baltimore really such a dump, or does TV make it look so

    alrighty, i guess we're ignoring everything i said about the utility of city-wide averages vs neighborhood averages. this is bound to be a productive conversation... seattle has a leg up on baltimore in many regards. does that mean that every city (and every neighborhood) that is below the...

    Is Baltimore really such a dump, or does TV make it look so

    oh please. does anyone understand how cities work? to some degree or another, cities have large concentrations of poor people. in those areas, there is a significant amount of crime and drug use. when you quote average incomes, housing prices, crime rates, etc for an entire city, those numbers...

    I seriously thought I would outgrow metal once I turned 30....

    30 (yikes) here. still listening, though i'm spending more time with other genres lately. i've grown tired of metal bands that aren't trying new and interesting things - those that put on their blinders to the world outside of metal. adding ballad or more clean sung choruses does not count as...

    Question for the mortgage brokers out there

    i just refi'ed while changing jobs. well, i would've refi'ed and then changed jobs, but my mortgage company was slooooow. i started the refi process in August, but by the time they got around to verifying my employment (in late October), i'd already left my original company and was scheduled to...

    Thanks to this forum I bought the DMC-TZ4 years ago.. but what for indoors?

    he's not trolling, he's just new to photography and doesn't understand some important principles. hopefully no one who's looking for advice is listening to him.

    Thanks to this forum I bought the DMC-TZ4 years ago.. but what for indoors?

    just chiming in here to back up my first post and fellow Baltimorean 996GT2. a backlit CMOS sensor may perform marginally better than its non-backlit counterpart of the same size, but no one would deny that a larger sensor (backlit or not) will easily outperform both. and that's not to...

    Thanks to this forum I bought the DMC-TZ4 years ago.. but what for indoors?

    slash's first response contains all the P&S models that you should be considering if you want decent low-light performance... and even though the LX3/5 and S90/95 have features suited for low-light photography (f2.0 lenses, large-ish sensors), the user needs at least some photographic knowledge...

    Travel destination advice: Athens vs. Istanbul

    Why are people still buying the 3gs for $300+ on craigslist?

    very few people in this thread are remembering the fact that an unlocked iPhone goes for $500-$600 new. so even if you obtained your 3GS at ATT's discounted price, when you go to sell the phone the used market is viewing it as a device that was recently $500-$600 new. there's nothing crazy or...

    10 dead +44 others shot over weekend in Chicago

    interesting that you use the term "law abiding citizens", because i'd bet $20 that none of the victims were such. these incidents prove nothing about gun control. anyway, sad story. was also a particularly bad weekend in Baltimore. about a dozen shootings and 3 deaths. summers are dangerous...

    Can't decide, GH1 or T2i (Updated)?

    you're aware that a 4/3's sensor has a x2 crop factor, right? so that 50mm lens has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 100mm.

    Recommend low-light/concert digicam

    no one asked what sort of shows/venues you want to photograph. you'll have different needs at a Taylor Swift show in a 12,000 seat arena than you would at a Dillinger Escape Plan show in a 300 person club. a mFT or DSLR is probably a must if you're 200 feet away in a decent-sized arena. at a...

    Olympus E-PL1 (m43) reviews

    i have a GF1 with the 20mm and 14-140mm. i'd switch to the E-PL1 in a second for its IBIS, but 1/2000 shutter speed limit and lack of AF assist lamp makes me hesitant.

    Looking to spend around $400 on a P&S Camera

    how pocketable do you need? jeans pocket? if so, the S90 is your only choice (assuming you want a decent-sized sensor) if you're ok with jacket or cargo pants pocketability, the LX3 and G11 come into the picture. i'd go with the G11 for its zoom capability. 85mm at the long end (LX3) is too...

    Panasonic LX3 v. Canon S90 for the outdoors?

    How do you keep your opened wine/liquor bottles fresh?

    if you don't either pump out the air or replace the air it with an inert gas, your wine will go bad very quickly. even if you do, you'll only have a day or two.

    Lumix ZS3 zoom showing off

    My TZ3 was recently drowned, so I was about to pick up the TZ7/ZS3 but then the Sony HV5V and Casio EX-FH100 were announced at CES. If either one of those cameras improve upon the ZS3's low light performance while also adding manual controls (and RAW support in the case of the Casio), I'm...

    must watch concert recording

    very. to what end? are you a drummer trying to replicate some of his stuff? meters can be described in various ways, almost like chords can be voiced in different manners. sifting through a song/solo just to report that 7 time signatures were used seems kinda... lame. (i'm a huge...

    A serious look at Health Care in other countries

    My analysis of the Healthcare situation.

    There is already more rationing going on in the US than in other industrialized countries. However, our rationing is performed by insurance companies with the aim of maximizing profits (regardless of health outcomes) and their rationing is performed by medical boards with the aim of getting care...

    On Becoming Europe

    so you think that the lowest tax bracket being 20-22% rather than 10-15% is what led to 50's prosperity? sorry, but that is delusional. (1) If you were to double the tax rate in the lowest bracket today, that wouldn't net the government nearly as much money as raising rates in the highest...

    The best writeup on the MD crabcake. Ever. Also, (1) If you're eating a crabcake and you're not in MD, it sucks. (2) If your crab needs butter, you're not in MD. Therefore your crab sucks.

    WhiteHouse wants you to snitch....

    WhiteHouse wants you to snitch....

    so you believe that a simple to understand plan would be supported by the repubs? well, then, lets try a thought experiment. the simplest plan imaginable is a single-payer health insurance system. assuming you're correct (that everyone, including the right, would go for a simple plan), then...
