I bet you guys feel really stupid knowing I pay only €10/month for 1000 min/1000 SMS/unlimited data and no commitment for my service. XD
Is that a common deal over there? We'll never see that here unless T-Mobile gets the balls to do it. They seem to be the only reasonable and innovative U.S. carrier left.
why would we feel stupid? It's not like we're willfully paying more because we're dumb.CapnNismo wrote:

What a stupid statement.

It is indeed._j5689_ wrote:

Austria is pretty unique with its only 8 million people, but 5 big mobile providers plus several smaller ones.
The price fight in the past decade pushed the prices down to things like that.
It was really weird to see TV ads from German providers, who praised their new flat rates as something ground breaking, while it was standard in Austria for 5 years already.
As globefish already said, yes. We've had an absolutely massive price war in Austria and combined with the maximum prices that carriers can charge for certain services that was set by the EU, it's made for a very consumer-friendly market._j5689_ wrote:

Don't take everything quite so literally. At the same time, though, there isn't any legislation (that I'm aware of) that puts caps on what carriers are able to charge their customers.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

So when you say "I bet you guys feel dumb" I should interpret it how? Surely its the fault of the reader and not the author, right?
capnnismo told me not to take things 'so literally' or 'seriously' or something to that effect when he posted dumb shit too (calling me a hipster because i pointed out his new mouse was technically flawed). perhaps he should start taking his own posts more seriously, so we aren't belabored by their shit content.
I pay way too much for my shit. $105 for unlimited mins and text w/ 4GB data. I only use about half the data but I still think its way too much.(Even when I tether.) I will admit though. I've never seen speeds like this before. I get 10down/10up with Verizon's 4G LTE.
Then read it as "don't you feel silly" if that makes you feel better.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

So why did Microsoft remove the start button?

they didn't, it's just a full screen start menu now
to confuse your grandma, and others that shouldn't be using bandwidth

Русский военный корабль, иди на хуй!
Built a win8 pc for my 8 year old. A couple of minutes of how to and he's now using it like it's second nature.
As noted earlier the whole screen is the start button. People today are just morons.

I'm fine with the concept, I just don't find it faster on a desktop. It's great on the touch-screen ultrabooks we have at work, but I prefer the traditional start menu on my desktop.
normally to launch a program that i don't have on my quick-launch bar, i winkey+r and type in the actual exe. this is far faster for me than navigating around some bloated and overly-fancy win 8 desktop. people today aren't morons so much as the fact that win8 is explicitly designed FOR morons.Ilocano wrote:

Even if there was a Win 8 exclusive game I really wanted to play, I wouldn't upgrade from Win7 U.
EVGA GTX TITAN + Backplate finally here. Now some sleep and after that locate a proper Philips head screw driver. All I have is too big or Torx...
