Deaf dude racks up $201,000 cell phone bill

He never heard it coming. Data roaming charges are a bitch when you're outside the US, even if you're just in Canada. T Mobile did the right thing by reducing the bill from $201,000 to $2,500 and gave them 6 months to pay it. They aren't a top-3 provider but damned if they don't have awesome customer service. AT&T wouldn't reduce it by a penny and they'd demand it immediately. Good thing they got this taken care of before AT&Terrible swallows up T Mobile and shits it out.

Sorry, but there's only one way T-Mobile could have made this right...

...Now THAT would have been customer service.

I'm in need of an artist to put an image I've had stuck in my head down on paper that relates to the T Mobile girl and the AT&T merger. Any takers?

It's all for the convenience of the users...the extra 2 seconds it takes to write the code is well worth it.

Agreed. I'm sure some would say it makes for a smaller mouse target when clicking but it's just a lot cleaner aesthetically.

MS should enable users when they right click the address bar and the drop down comes up to offer a type in field where one could type, "Story Link", "G&S' Shatastic Dog pics", etc. and that's what appears when you paste...

In a perfect world. Update to Puppy Strife's sharting. He finally stopped. System is cleaned out I guess. Gave him rice and that seemed to do the trick. I actually slept for 7 hours last night without interruption.

I prefer the raw link so that you can tell where you are being redirected and the title of the page.

You mean so that this doesn't happen, right?
