Should I go ahead and replace the battery on warranty before then?
Definitely. It'll keep going downhill, and they're stupidly expensive to pay cash for if you can get one on warranty.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So, anyone know how I can save videos from photobucket? Someone kindly linked me to some concert footage that I'd like to keep for my very own, but I have no notion of how to save stuff from photobucket. Help?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Say I've picked an unlocked phone to buy, and I want to switch to T-Mobile. How are they about all that? I mean, if I go to their website I can't even see how much their internet access costs until I add one of their phones to my shopping basket.
Am I trying to pull a fast one on them? Should I get my smooth-talking game on?

I'm seeing Web and Apps at $5.99 a mo.

Hey. New board.
Say I've picked an unlocked phone to buy, and I want to switch to T-Mobile. How are they about all that?
They're fine. The webstore is kind of a pain about it, but go into a store and they'll be like "Oh, SIM card only? No problem." They'll still lock you into a 1-year contract, but they're nice about it, especially if you know what features you want.
What kind of phone did you go for? Some phones can use their T-Zones internet (my Treo 680 for example) for a mere $5.99 a month unlimited, if all you need is basic web browsing stuff (it works fine as a bluetooth modem for my laptop, too).
ETA: Also, once you're signed on, the MyTMobile page works great for adding and removing features, if you want to just get a plan upfront and add the internet and whatnot later.

I couldn't find the list without pretending I was going to buy a phone.
I'm looking to get a Nokia E70, if I'm remembering model names right.

I don't remember if I had to do that or not, but then, I already bought one of their phones.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Firefox with the Download Helper add-on [link] can do it. You'll need an app. that can play .flv files.

anybody know why a McAfee update would make the internet stop working on my laptop? i know that's what it is because i've had to do a system restore twice after McAfee decided to automatically update. i've now turned it off automatic updates, but it keeps bugging to do one. i thought it might be something to do with the firewall, but i messed around with it and it didn't seem to solve the problem.
