@14: the games ship with ads in them already. You aren't avoiding anything.

@17: they do their absolute best to do things like disable mp3 ringtones on phones that support them, so that they can sell them to you through their service. They used to do the same with GPS, too. I'm pretty sure they went with CDMA just so that they could better lock down which phones their users have access to.
A friend of mine had a Verizon phone that wouldn't even accept a normal USB *charger* - you had to use the Verizon one.
F those guys. They are by a long shot the worst of the big carriers in terms of fucking their customers.
They do, however, have good coverage.

I've never been on the 7, but I used to ride the 48 and 358 regularly. Both were horrible for different reasons.
The 358 had drunk people getting into fights, meth addicts a plenty, and a homeless guy who put his headphones on my head while he was sitting behind me because he wanted me to "hear the boss." I'm still not sure if he was talking about Springsteen or the person giving him coded messages through his tape deck.
The 48 would usually show up as a pair of 48's, one twenty five minutes late, the other only ten. Both would be packed well beyond capacity doing the leapfrog thing. When it's rainy and cold out, it was like an extremely crowded sauna in there because they blast hot air at you and all the windows fog up as humidity passes approximately 900%.
Route 16 was quite decent considering how terrible its neighbors were.

doceb commented on How Does That Oath Go Again?.
Exposing the signers won't accomplish anything - the Stranger has repeatedly reported on the signature gatherers deceiving people into signing. What does their signature show? That they were manipulated?
I'm all for the passage of R-71, and I voted in favor of it. I guess I just don't see what releasing the signatures is meant to accomplish.
