  We need the zombie apocalypse to come and wipe out all this corruption.
  
  Too bad the rest of us would probably get wiped out as well.

  I must say I really like having Karl around on TD. The stuff he covers is I think important to many (all?) of us here and I hope he stays a while and continues his excellent contributions.
  
  This Bud's for you Karl! :beer:

• On the post: Comcast: Allowing Us To Get Immensely, Inconceivably, Ridiculously Massive Is 'Pro Consumer'

  

  Namel3ss ( profile ), 14 Feb, 2014 @ 01:32pm

  Who are we kidding?

  If this goes through it will be an UNMITIGATED DISASTER for the consumer. There's not enough competition in ISP land as it is, and with this there would be even less.
  
  If the ATT/T-Mobile merger didn't go through, how the f**k could this possibly get approved? It's 2x the ATT/TMO deal ($45B vs. I think $23B).
  
  Maybe Com-ass-t gets better hookers for their FCC flunkies than ATT did. God forbid this actually gets approved.

• On the post: Sprint Seemingly Shocked That Nobody Wants Them to Kill Off Price-Disruptive and Competitive T-Mobile

  

  Namel3ss ( profile ), 14 Feb, 2014 @ 01:25pm

  Switching to T-Mobile was the best move I could have made. Cheaper, and the free roaming saved me God knows how much on a recent trip to Europe.
  
  The only downside is their coverage, but hopefully that'll be improving the more customers they lure away from ATT.
  
  I still say ATT can suck it.

  There's a better way for users to deal with ads being sprayed all over the web:
  
  Adblock Plus
  
  And it doesn't even add a penny to your electric bill or wear-n-tear on your computer.

  This whole Prenda saga is like a giant Fuck You to the entire legal system. They're saying we can be complete douchebags to anyone and everyone, lie cheat & steal, and there ain't a goddamn thing you or anyone else can do about it.
  
  Where in the blue fuck is the IRS when you actually NEED them?

  Remember what FDR said...

  In politics there are no coincidences. If something happened, you can bet it was planned that way.
  
  This level of happenstance? No way.

  I guess it was inevitable that the NSA trolls would eventually come to TD.

  Namel3ss ( profile ), 29 Jan, 2014 @ 03:57pm

  To remind everyone about Julian Sanchez's tweet:
  
  Section 215 allows the *FBI* to get *records* that are *relevant* to an actual *investigation*.
  
  PCLOB: NSA program fails on "FBI", "records," "relevant" & "investigation."
  
  When do we all pull out the torches and pitchforks? I for one am ready.

• On the post: T-Mobile Writes The Best Press Release You'll Ever See From A Phone Company

  

  Namel3ss ( profile ), 29 Jan, 2014 @ 09:14am

  T-Mobile >>> ATT

  I switched to T-Mo last year after putting up with AT&T's bullshit for years. T-Mo for me is cheaper, their data plan is better, and overall they're not asshats like ATT. Those are all wins in my book.
  
  Then they rolled out unlimited international roaming text & data and I was even more glad I switched.
  
  The only downside is their coverage is not quite as good. But for me it's good enough. If they had ATT's coverage with their increasingly customer-friendly attitude, they'd mop the floor with ATT.
  
  Regardless, ATT can still suck it.

  Hey "Mr." Redding, let's get this straight, douchebag. Invoking Hitler, the holocaust, or nazism automatically means you lose the argument, whatever it may be about.

  You know there's really no need to insult people of faith, of which I am one. It's a life choice, after all.
  
  That said, there's no way in hell I would ever send that kind of money to anyone who wasn't close family. This woman exercised poor judgment, and is very lucky she was able to get at least part of her $$$ back.
