Re: Re: tl;dr
I've found having a word limit focuses writing. A letter to the editor has a 250 word limit.
Been there
Worked at a software company MANY years ago. No one had proper licenses for M$ Word on their PCs. Obviously, EVERYONE needs word processing in an office. So disks and keys were passed around.
Anyway, M$ found out, audited, wanted money, PCs were cleaned, and we were all given WordStar, a shareware(?) word processing program.
Amazing how the world looks different from the other side of the fence.
Re: Re: UNLIMITED DATA PLANS FOR AN AFFORDABLE PRICE
Admittedly, I don't use a lot of data, but you might want to look at Ting. I have 4 smart phones on the account, and my total bill will be $59 this month. Total. All 4 phones.
It's not for everyone. You have to have a bit of tech savvy since they don't have brick and mortar stores. Tech support is a phone call, you can't walk in. You buy your own phone, no 2 year contract to make up the difference.
BUT, I mentioned my bill this month is $59???
They piggy back on two networks (Sprint/T-Mobile), buying in bulk and passing the savings on to their customers. Started by Two Cows. Remember them?
Anyway, check it out. They are majorly tech friendly. Not douche bags at all.
That's unfair (as Jeff Cantwell)
The director's nephew needed a summer internship, and viola! Insta-presto, an new app is born!
Dumb thieves (as Jeff Cantwell)
Girl at work had A/C unit stolen from house. Couple heard about it, came by when no one was there, talked about how terrible it was, peeked in her windows, helped themselves to some stuff on her deck. She caught it all on security cam. Posted it on facebook, asking for help IDing the cretins.
They called within the day crying, begging her to take the video down. Brought her stuff back.
Unfortunately, cameras weren't possitioned to catch the A/C stealing meth-head.
