If the company goes under, can the phone be used with another company?

"The LG Optimus is our first phone, and there will be more to follow. Affordable and well reviewed, we assure you this first phone is very well endowed with our Hybrid Calling technology and “Gingerbread,” Google’s code name for Android version 2.3. What phone should be next?"

Hi This is looking really attractive: http://republicwireless.com/cost The LG Optimus phone looks pretty fast. Anyone used one? I'm wondering if the software will do the following: Easily hook up and sync my contact list from gmail, and likewise my calendar. Flash? What version of Android is...

Howell great link. For most, the blades I've got last one or two shaves. That's 100 blades for 16 dollars. So, .16 cents a shave if I use them once, .8 cents for twice. Better then .50 cents each for Disposables that cut me pretty consistently.

He's not an idiot, but, English is a second language. Also, in this area, it is a status symbol. Not to mention it's his work connection, so getting the newest model, in the hope that it is the best for his purpose, isn't an idiot thing.

Ditto Green Lantern. Effects were pretty good.

I guess my roommate was misinformed. Perhaps the 4S designation, for some stupid reason, made him think the phone was 4G capable, or actually fast. His mistake. In that case, his 3G numbers are normal. He's not happy. Why would you buy what is supposed to be the best phone on the market...

The Merkur gets really close. It has areas that are scalloped out, so that the blade gets REALLY on your skin, without breaking it.

Look at post #522 in this thread.

Howell: Don't really know. The Merkur double edge, that I got one of with the razor, lasted 7 days, but if LiamC is right, I should have changed at 6. I did, and the problem seems to be going away. They are 50 cents each, however. After I run out of 7 AM Platinum, I may give this variety pack...

It appears the makers have come up with new coatings for the old blades: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017ZECA6/ref=sc_pgp__m_A262S395NXGG8Z_5?ie=UTF8&m=A262S395NXGG8Z&n=&s=&v=glance Platinum Coated for Smooth Shaves and Durability Manufactured with Steel from Sweden Excellent in Parker...

David: Shadowbrook used that in the lower room next to the creek. It worked far better then the overhead, or any other kind of heat we used. Don't know what Ted Burke used, but, knowing him, you could call him, and he would tell you what he used. DON'T use my name;-) He pretty much owned the...

What are you laughing about? It's a well known fact...pyramids work... Wonder what's in those barber shop disinfectant jars? Probably pyramid infused mineral oil.

Handruin: "You could have read that a few days ago... "The iphone 4GS isn't actually 4G capable, which on Sprint would require a WiMax capable radio. Just slimy Mac marketing to take advantage of the unknowing." http://www.storageforum.net/forum/sh...&postcount=498" Please read the posts in...

Hmmm. Another reason to love Appl. David, would your Sprint Hotspot work to be able to connect the printer to the ipad? My girlfriend was over this morning, and she wants to know if she can hook up an HP wireless printer to her ipad. Grrrrrrrrr...... I guess I could give her the simple...

I will NEVER buy another Appl product, unless it's perfect, cheap, and does something I want it to do, as is, to start with. Therefore, my attention to detail about the iphone is not something I want to waste brain cells on. If not for my roommate letting me use his, I would never consider it...

I heard today that the iphone 4S is still 3G hardware, which would certainly explain the results I got. Also, our area isn't 4G, at least according to the local phone guy. +-

Problem seems to be finding a phone that works with their setups that I would like. Also, no tethering, apparently, at least not with Cricket.

Thanks. Been looking into Virgin. Seems to offer better coverage the Cricket.

The reason I posted this is similar. The cheapy disposable Gillette double bladed razors have been cutting me in weird places, with some consistency. It seems the blades are not evenly cut, or seated, resulting in cuts, using the same stroke on the the same face that worked prior, with no...

I've got a Panasonic wet or dry ES4026. Doesn't work on my neck, takes WAY too much time, but, it's slightly better then nothing. The Merkur is fantastic, and, seems to addlife, and shaving closeness to older blades that the cheaper razors didn't.

Went down to the TMobile store in South San Francisco. The HTC phones they had are priarily 8 megapixel cameras, or camcorders. The Amaze, Sensation, T Mobile MyTouch. Also, it's really annoying the way Tmobile markets stuff. "Two ways to go. One way you keep your current plan(which they...

I buy my razors at Costco. I just can't see paying 4 bucks for a razor blade. I walk into my local drug store, and they have to keep the razors in a locked case now, right next to the Dom Perignon. I looked into the old straight razor, stropp, etc. and the sticker shock of 200-500 bucks got...

Handurin: Maybe user error, or something, keeping the phone from connecting to my rather fast router correctly under WIFI, or, perhaps the hardware is defective.

My shopping list: Runs flash tethers to laptops works with google calendar, and google apps Would be nice to use my google contacts on my phone decent battery life excellent music player, supporting 32 gig or bigger cards for storage. Is a chip based phone, allowing upgrading phones or switching...

I only pointed out my observations, on my home network. So, we now have Sprint, the only truly 'unlimited' data plan, not being so, since it can't handle the load. The iphone on my home network has never been a problem with his earlier model. Now the new one, it is. He's paying a lot of money...

The new 4g iPhone sucks, on sprint... New roomie is a mac guy, sort of. He bought Sprint, 80 bucks a month, 2 year contract, minus taxes, and a 4G iPhone, S. It gets a whopping 1.6 MBPS, and that's on my WIFI network, which does 50 MBPS on my laptop, with an ancient Linksys PCI card. On the...

Water cooling?

http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2011/03/01/hmn_feature12.html Kind of funny. Newman gave me a ride to Santa Cruz in that van. Someone wouldn't get out of his way in the fast lane, and he nearly bumped the guy, nearly being 2". His comment: "It's only sheet metal."

You did sort of get the essence of DD's horns on the D. You recommend, or come into something, and find out the bulb is more expensive then the projector, or close. Mechanics are worse then tech guys, as far as making what would otherwise be a viable idea absurd, by charging overpriced rates...

It just struck me how ironic/funny it is that a couple people, one a moderator, are giving me a bad time for a tangential couple posts, in a forum area named, "Off topic" ROFL Merc: Compared to a Ferrari, a Civic maybe better, reliability wise. However, the Civic was always a highly tuned...

Just in case you guys have been hitting the pipe too much,... "Stereodude Hairy Aussie Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Michigan Posts: 5,507 I think you're delusional if you think a cheapo noisy conference room projector is a suitable replacement for the Sim2 projector. One is a 3 chip DLP...

Car was built by Spectre Racing in Belmont. By the time they got done, it was a fiberglassed bodied, cage framed, Mustang, with the suspension off their race car. The irony was when we started the guy said I know where you can get a GT40, crashed, for 20 grand. When I got done, I often...

God, I loved this car: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_917 I may have to get a 928 before I die.... For those that don't know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Motor_Sports_Association My mechanics took plans from Ford's IMSA program for the race car suspension. 5 grand to buy...

HMMM. All of my cables are monoprice, most of the lower standard, and all work flawlessly with Bluray. They don't like snaking much. While I was dumping 50k into building an IMSA street legal race car, one of our friends bought a Ferrari for 3000 dollars. Superamerica 400, or something like...

The 37" is in my bedroom, along with a 27" Samsung dual setup. I moved the chair and some surfboards out, so I can back up. Not much point in a HTPC running, when I use mine in my room. If I need to, I'll move the Vizio to the living room. 50" would be better, but, I can move it closer to the...

I'm waiting for a 50" 1080p to come around, at a price I'm willing to pay. So far, only Panasonic 50" 780's are in the price range I'm after. I'm too close to the 37" Vizio, so right now, the HTPC is headless, and, my gf is jumping out of airplanes...

Yes. Even without the breasts, she was an incredibly fit, beautiful woman. I can't help but wonder what the experience of being in San Francisco was like for her. I guess you have to experience being in SF and a public service job that is determined by the whims of the San Francisco voters, and...

I'm pretty sure those are real. That wasn't the issue anyway, it was the story of how a woman looking like that, ended up working 'undercover' in vice, for the SFPD, and what would her life be like.

I never got the chance to ask if they were fake or not. Judging by her profession, and fitness level, I think her reaction might have given my martial arts/boxing skills a workout;-). On the otherhand, she did have a gun and a badge. Generally not a good idea to prevoke with such questions...

Imagine this girl, taller, with a beautiful oriental face, a little thinner, and more muscular, with very small panties and a a huge bra, that you can see everything on, thanks to the skin tight black leoptard, and you get the general idea. I wouldn't view this from work...

This was real life. I worked/interned in the San Francisco DA's office, and in the court, for one year. One morning I was appearing for my attorney, who was late to work, and an incredible fox walked through the court, attired in skin tight, black, stretch clothing, top and bottom, leotards or...

Just watched Condition Black It's about the probably biggest swell to hit Oahu in 100 years. Hit on my birthday, 1/28, 1998. It was a freak, since it was filmed by imax, and featured in the movie, Extreme, also super worth watching. My friends at the time, Dan Moore and Ken Bradshaw are...

First: Thanks for the response. I wish I had known this at the time. I'd just bought two PPC 333 Powermacs, and, when OS 10 came out, all the storage guys just pretty much, dumped macs, or, bit the bullet, and bought new cards, supported by OS X. I wish I would have known of this project...

Just installed a gpu gadget to see how taxing on the 295 UT2004 is. It uses 8906 MB VRAM, kicks the gpus up from 301 Mhz to 596 Mhz. Shader clock at 1242 Mhz. No disk required, fun, quick, and addicting. Only uses about 8% of the processor. Folding at Home was running, but not in SMP.

Sorry about that. I suspect the criminals are the non-boring part. Focusing on the crime is the fun part. Only a couple times in a year did anything crazy happen AFTER the suspect was caught in SF. Also, the Federal Judicial system is usually a plea bargain, with little court time. I will say...

I don't really see how he came to that conclusion. I see it as a bunch of folks coming up with a better OS to run on old PowerPC processors, when Appl was screwing their faithfuls, by not supporting hardware with OS X that cost thousands of dollars. I can't think of anything more secure then...

Sechs: Sounds like Appl. More details? Thanks g
