[OT] Life after cell phone
I don't usually post off-topic, but this time.....
I let my cell phone acct lapse ....on purpose! Gee, I don't miss it one bit. I have no more cell phone capability, but I still have the device and it works pretty dang good, w/o the phone part. I can still wifi the browser to check weather. The timer functions work great and I use 'em all the time, having tossed all my wris****ches, yrs ago. No problem, as the time feature still works, also. Not sure where it's getting its time signal from, but who cares. When the battery dies, I'll toss the entire device and perhaps buy a cheaper non Ad-roid Tracfone. Ad-roid phones suck. nb |

I was in Rite-Aid store this morning and thought to look at their cheap phones. Tracfone was the cheapest. My plan is to buy a very cheap one and use it just for the wifi and other apps without signing up for a phone plan. I'd like to do this before buying a phone and also phone access. Any ideas of the best way to start? |

Any > ideas of the best way to start? I got a cheapo LG Realm Tracfone on Amazon several years ago, I think it was thirty bux. I never activated it, just use it for WiFi hotspots, Google maps, and I have 32 gigs of old time radio, music, etc. on the SD card, so I use it for that... All the apps, etc. will work just fine, even though it's not activated... -- Best Greg |

All those apps want all kinds of permissions, even if you are willing to pay for them. Even the public library. Go away. It's very off-putting. No, you don't need access to my photos.

Ditto public pay phones. You don't need money to dial 911/Emergency or the Operator. Jill |

As long as you keep >replying to him he gets his thrills. Which is why he will always be a part of this group. So get used to it (if you haven't already Some somehow can't pick his new nyms, which just baffles me. Then you have others like Roy who think they can win by throwing logic at him, little realising he's merely feeding the troll. Then you have the others who know it's the boner troll and silently condone his abuse. So, there's every reason for this particular troll to stick around. The simplest and most effective solution is to just ignore it, of course. Without a reaction, trolls have no sustenance. But there's always just enough regulars who will take the bait and keep them well nourished. Here's a little diatribe on our boner friend, posted to another group. It's not entirely accurate but highlights some of it's traits. I've roughly edited out irrelevant stuff: --------------------------------------------------------- "Spammy FAQ WHAT IS SPAMMY? Spammy goes by too many aliases to list here. He/She changes his/her alias at least once a week, often several times a week, depending on how badly he/she has his/her ass kicked in a debate. Spammy roams the political NG's pretending to be a patriot, but adds little evidence of such to support such wild claims. Sadly, Spammy is a clueless troll who tries albeit unsuccessfully to have a valid argument about anything legitimate. For most in these NG's, Spammy has become so much of a botheration that he/she is regularly plonked into the trash can by many regulars once the new alias appears. With the diminishing rather than growing number of posters in these NG's, Spammy is fairly easy to spot. Each time a new alias appears, the likelihood of it being Spammy is fairly high. Here are some things to watch for: 2. Look for the continued use of extremely foul language, including delusions of bestiality and pedophilia. He/she is often hard pressed for a better rebuttal than to start yelling. Here are some examples. 3. A typical Spammy pattern will be to respond in an almost human manner on the first day of the new alias to try and suck people in. Rooting him/her out is relatively easy. Just say something bad about Bush or Republicans. Works every time. With each passing post, one can see Spammy's blood pressure rise until the answers start arriving in all capital letters. Shortly thereafter, Spammy will disappear and resurface with a new alias. About once a month, Spammy disappears for a week or more. There are several theories about why this happens, the most logical is a trip to the psych ward for new meds or a lobotomy. 5. One of Spammy's favorite ploys is to erase the complete post of the previous poster and add a foul reply, thinking that by erasing the previous post, Spammy has somehow erased it from the NG. Spammy seems too simple minded to understand that the original post remains regardless of how many times he/she erases it during the reply. 6. Spammy always gets the last words. They may be suitable only for his/her clients at the Greyhound bus station bathroom, but nevertheless it is futile to try and outpost the Spamster. Attempting to post a follow up will only warrant another volley of smut. 7. Spammy often posts the IP address lookup of the poster if it is available as if he/she has outed that person. Since turnabout is fair play, here is the IPa ddress from which Spammy posts: 206.124.6.34 <206-124-6-34.denver.dsl.forethought.net>. Using the following web site (http://www.ip-adress.com/) with the satellite function clicked, one can zoom in on the apartment complex of exactly where this useless, toothless piece of pedophilic trailer trash lives. 8. Spammy often posts 24/7, leading one to believe that he/she doesn't work and stays at home a lot. There have been many theories, including Spammy being recluse, handicapped, alchoholic, pedophilic, drug addict, etc. The truth is that we don't really know what it is that Spammy does for work or enjoyment. But as he seems to be at the computer 24/7, WHAT TO DO ABOUT SPAMMY? As always, the best way to get a useless troll to go away is to ignore them." ------------------------------------------------ |

When my wife broke her ankle on the way to the mailbox and could not get up, all she had to do was pull herself with her arms to the door. It was only 50 feet or so. What a sissy, she used her cell phone from the big telecommunication company to call for help. Or she could have just waited a few hours until I got home. |
