Sorry Kevin. I went down the list before posting: Religion? no... Politics? not really. Cheese? Unless they are firing cheese bullets, not. Okay good to post! Apparently not, so I have taken this off list. Thanks for your patience. Bob On Jan 29, 2013, at 2:56 PM, Kevin Miller wrote: > Ah

Ah yes, as is longstanding policy, we have established that discussions that mention cheese are not such a good thing. Time to stop this thread I think. Kind regards, Kevin Kevin Miller ~ ke...@runrev.com ~ http://www.runrev.com/ LiveCode: Unleash Your Killer App On 29/01/2013 22:22, "Björnk

Re: Now illegal to unlock your cellphone (U.S.)

Peter, I said Assault Weapons, or as some call them Semi-automatic rifles. Handguns are a whole other matter. The majority of handgun murders are committed by known gang members in inner cities. My point is, making guns illegal is not going to stop these people from getting guns, anymore than e

Re: Now illegal to unlock your cellphone (U.S.)

Sorry, but I can't let that pass. Every time the subject of gun control comes up in the press, completely unfounded statements are thrown around by the like of the NRA and others who are against gun control, and the baseball bat/hammer is one of them. According to the FBI 2011 stats, weapons used

Re: Now illegal to unlock your cellphone (U.S.)

I was shocked to find out that far fewer people are killed with semi-automatic rifles (called Assault weapons) than with hammers or baseball bats. No one would ever think of even registering who has a hammer or baseball bat! Never mind making them illegal. New laws will solve nothing. If it be

That's effectively the way things already work with AT&T, except that you only get permission to do the unlock after you have completed most of your contract. AT&T let me unlock my old iPhone 4, which I sold to a colleague for him to use on another network. On Jan 26, 2013, at 5:58 PM, Andre G

Peter, Here in Brazil, carrier still give you discounted rates on phones if you apply for a long term plan. They may still give you a locked phone but they must unlock it if you ask. So in effect, all phones are a step away from being unlocked. Still, you're locked to the carrier because of long t

Actually, I'm surprised it's not already illegal, at least in terms of breaking your contract with the provider.. As mentioned in the article, in return for using a carrier's network exclusively, you get the phone either for free or at a highly discounted rate. If you want the freedom of using an
