I still wanna know why after 40+ years as dictator he is still only a Colonel..

 

Ditto. I had an original droid phone that broke two days ago. I thought I would buy the new VZW iPhone. The clerk said to me, "Can you wait until tomorrow?" "Why do you ask," I said. He said, "The new VZW 4G Thunderbolt goes on sale. Trust me, you don't want to buy anything else."

The next day, as I waited in line, there were several folks trading iPhones for the HTC phone. However, a majority of the people were upgrading from an existing Android phone. A small discussion between folks waiting in line sprung up. The iPhone people were annoyed that most of the apps for the iPhone cost money, whereas, most of the apps in the Android market are free. Toss in the tethering and wifi hotspot capability with 4G, makes the decision practically a no brainer. The only reason why I could foresee someone sticking with the iPhone is that syncing to iTunes is very simple.

This HTC 4G phone loads webpages faster than my Dell and the Apple computers that I have recently used. My original Droid phone would lag, pause, and slowly load a page. Not this phone. You click a link and BOOM, it's loaded.

 

I agree, what kind of death and destruction do you have to conduct to advance in the Libya Army?

 

If you ask me this is bullcrap on ATT's behalf.
Every other carrier allows this feature/ability for free.

I think ATT is getting a little greedy with this whole tethering feature fee.
Maybe they should concentrate more on improving there call-dropping network because it has really started to go down hill over the last year.

 

I think if you are able to somehow scope out more than 80% of a Mainline Company's Flying to multiple Regional Carriers while having said mainline pilots working under a bankruptcy contract for over 10 years, then you are able to rise to the rank of El Presidente.

 

Actually Verizon charges you $20/mo or so to tether, if you do it their way. Anyone with a smidge of tech savvy can get around it by using PDANet for free, so long as Verizon doesn't catch on to what you're doing.

 

Haha I know right. I mean as long as you're dictator make yourself Supreme Kingdom Bikini Inspector and Major General Head Astronaut in Charge, or something.

 

And now for something completely different

 

Maybe still waiting for his TOE (Tyrant Operating Experience) to be scheduled?

While not exactly Supreme Bikini Inspector, Gaddafi does have a 40 member cadre of personal bodyguards that he handpicks himself. They are all female and must be Virgins to gain entry to the squad. They are nicknamed the 'Amazonian Guards'. In a 1998 assassination attempt on his motorcade, 7 of them were wounded and one was killed reportedly throwing herself in front of the Colonel.


....So he's not completely crazy!
