Didn't work. Still, now I have the option to call through google voice. See if that gets around Tmobile's minute plan.

After an hour on the phone, I've got a resolution. Apparently you have to request the free Wifi, or they charge minutes. I just did that, and they added it to my phone. If I call Italy, it's 9.99 cents a minute. If my GF decides to use this phone, for 5 bucks a month, I can drop that to .34...

Cost is the main reason. I can use Skype if she ever gets back from Washington, and, I can get it installed on her computer. Plus, I do have the option to call her on google voice. Problem is any call to my google voice account rings on my cell phone, and, I'm not sure if they charge for...

On to what? Verizion is worse, and they load the same kind of crap on their phones. No other carrier offers alleged free wifi. Republic is full right now. Sprint is another 30 a month. It doesn't look like I'm going to go over 200MB a month, so my total bill is right around 50 dollars. I'm...

EXACTLY. After advertizing that Wifi was free, as well.

Once the phone has the password, already entered, when you hit the icon it autoconnects to my router. It also picks up other wifi networks, no problems.

Using the Wifi connection is still effective for downloads. It would also be useful if I can get Skype setup on my GF's computer again. Maybe after Christmas.

Same again. Forecast has changed. Last night was 31, and its 37 right now, they are predicting 27-29 the next couple nights. That is record lows for this area.

Yes, if you have a wifi enabled phone, and a wireless router,Tmobile routes your phone calls over your internet connection. They explained that that feature is for people with poor reception, etc. But as you can see by Republic, it's a way for Tmobile to get free access to your internet...

DC=suck #1 I was thinking of the Black Cat as a better character to base something on. http://marvel.com/universe/Black_Cat_%28Felicia_Hardy%29

I enjoy Catwoman, even though it got murdered by critics. I love cats, at least mine, wouldn't kick H. Berry out of bed, and loved the Catwoman character in Marvel comics. Clearly prejudiced for the movie.

T Mobile support won't comment on the crap. Also, Tmobile charges minutes for using MY WIFI, while I'm getting charged for data from Astound. Unless I'm downloading programing stuff, which I'll only do at home, I'll NEVER use my wifi at home. I hope, one of these days, that company that...

The Killer. More shot guys then any other movie. Worth a look. The Devils Double is fair to good. Enjoyed Lincoln Lawyer. Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn worth a look for Disney, doing a cross between 3d and 2d.

Striker: I get that part, and have found instructions, but, they aren't crystal clear. The Mobile Manager software has an icon. If you click on it, you download, and install the program, which also installs a bit of malware. It then tells you it has detected malware, and, you have to pay them...

They are both phones. I went for a current, dual core processor. I didn't go for the fastest, since I was looking for a compromise of power vs. power consumption. I didn't want the biggest screen, because that eats battery. I just found the iphone 4s counterintuitive, for me. Considering the...

Don't really care. My experience with the 4s is that it's about the same, speedwise, or slower. My phone is fast enough, does what I want it to do. I will admit it would be nice to start with a clean slate, without the junk that TMobile put on it. My roommate bought a 4S, and I was clearly...

Another 32 degree morning. This is really unusual for this area. It's usually not this cold, for this long. If it gets into the 20's around Christmas this maybe one of the coldest years ever here.

Odd, but this set of tests make the iphone look REAL bad, sometimes, and close to my phone others. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/14 Here's the review of my phone...

Hi David Would you please drop the 3200+ Athlon CPU and the Seasonic power supply 500W in the mail to me? Looks like P.F. is going to give me the computer back. Have to check and see if it's just the cpu, or the entire motherboard that went. Thanks Greg S

I don't care if Appl put a 427 Chevy in their iphone. NEVER again.

What hospital? This morning 37%, 100% humidity. Talk about freezing, wet cold...

I'm glad to hear that.

Kind of curious how a slightly higher clock speed, 1.2 vs 1.5 equals WAY faster?

After I posted that, I ran it again and got 25 mbps down and about 7 up. Ran it again and got 33037kbps, and 6471kbps up.

Getting 10 mbps download, 3.65 up, using the phone and Wifi connection. Normal connection is about 4mbps down.

Don't know about that. The dual core processor is scary fast for a phone, and, it seems to be very fast when tethered.

So far, I really like the phone, the camera, the operating system, the fact that my sim card works, easy transition from one to the other, and very low download usage. Where I at 10MB was tethering the phone to my laptop.

37 and snow showers this morning.

Don't think RAM on an old system is the answer. Skip that step, and go to new mobo/cpu/ram if the SSD isn't enough.

I enjoy NCIS, both versions. Burn Notice is enjoyable, though the plot with the current bad guy is getting a bit long in the tooth. Anybody like Castle? Haven't made it through the earlier years. How is the recent stuff? Enjoy Hawaii 50 as well.

They have a tracking number you can use. Currently .0000 MB. May have reset when the plan changed. I've hardly ever used the web, but, it will come in handy in crisis situations. Mainly I need a WIFI phone that doesn't charge, which TMobile does advertize. Even that is kind of moot, since I now...

35 again today, and humid

" 1. Get more RAM to use with her old RAM (2x1 GB kit) to bring her up to 4 GB. I can buy a second kit of the kind of RAM she has to bring her up to 4X1 GB sticks ($34). And get an SSD (thinking Crucial M4, 64 GB, $110). Total of $144. 2. Get her more RAM, but insist on going to 8 GB by using...

"For unlimited data plans, full speeds available up to monthly data allotment; after allotment used, speeds slowed to up to 2G speeds for remainder of billing cycle. For 200MB plan, overage of $0.10/MB charged to postpaid customers after monthly data allotment is used; " From useage agreement.

Got a text today that I'm being charged 30 dollars for 5 GB data at 4G a month. I called, and had it changed to 200MB for 10 dollars. Start with that. Apparently after 190MB it slows to 2G speeds, but still allows web access, so, of sorts, it is 'unlimited'. Apparently the data plan I was...

Watching Leverage from 2 to 13. So far 2.

Leverage seems ok.

Your right. I was confusing the refinery with the Kahe Power Plant. http://www.topozone.com/map_get.asp?z=4&e=590029.234989168&n=2362177.17597209 http://cramp.wcc.hawaii.edu/images/aerial2-web.jpg on this map...

Standard Oil's refinery isn't on the former Naval base. It's on the right hand side of the highway, as you head from the Naval Base towards Makaha. When I was in Hawaii, the base was still active. Had a pass to get on and play golf. I suspect the now Tesoro refinery was built on the naval base...

Passed on the insurance. Have two weeks to think about it. Don't know if it has a deductible, but, it has failure insurance.

Just bought the Tmobile Slider Khaki...

Felt like the tropics today 42 degrees.

It's 79%humidity, and thats what makes it FEEL REALLY cold. It's not like a snow cold. The vest worked. I needed something that wasn't bulky. It goes under a compression shirt, and, when it starts to feel real cold, I switch it on high for a couple minutes. The heating pad, on the lower back...

I have a Pacific Trail down jacket that is super warm, and works on mornings like this, when it's 32.5 degrees, and I have to go to work in a barn, with little or no heat. Better get the layers going...

Skype hasn't been good since MSFT bought it. Stopped working on the Beast, and I haven't had a chance to get my girlfriends' laptop, and try and set it up again. You did get me thinking. I changed my google phone number to the same as her area code, so there shouldn't be any charge. That...

Hi If you get a chance, have a look at the pipeline Masters today. Surf is huge, and it's REALLY good. http://vanstriplecrownofsurfing.com/billabongpipemasters2011/live-ultra-gb Couple of great waves in the Heat analyzer: vanstriplecrownofsurfing.com/billabongpipemasters2011/heat_analyzer this...

Speaking of which: Costco has some deals on phones for Tmobile. Tmobile, for me, seems to be the only company to go with, because of their wifi free calling. Perfect for calling my girlfriend all day, free. That said, they have a couple phones to look at. The Mytouch slider, the Mytouch...

"In 1998, Tesoro acquired refineries in Kapolei, Hawaii, and Anacortes, Washington." Happened after I left. I'm pretty sure that refinery was for the military only, since it's on what used to be Barber's Point Naval base. IIRC, Barber's Point was slowly being sold off, to the public. "Tesoro...
