Man .... you ain't kiddin' ..... :confused: I'm not going to be quite as polite or deferential - although I will try to remain civil and keep this a reasoned discourse - but I'm gonna call it as I see it. If this were merely a single post in isolation, it would be one thing ..... but "the...

The FMCSA official is correct more or less - I just happened to read it in the regs last night while doing some research on another issue. What the reg basically said was that for their purposes "employee" means those directly employed by a carrier/company as well as independent contractors...

Yes - I have found them - or at least everyone there I have dealt with - to be a straight shooters - very professional, down to business, and no foolishness - and nothing I've experienced so far leads me to believe that that will change for the worse. I told them that I was honored that they...

When I switched carriers back at the end of September last year it had been fairly slow. The week that I switched I had a load on Monday that took me by the carrier I was planning on going with ..... and on my return back home (all our loads were one way) I took the opportunity to slide by...

Great post - interestingly though, it appears that we have 'net nanny software with the new board system .... protecting out tender eyes from viewing the word "glass" ..... ? One thing though - the medicos and big pharma interests ain't gonna like it .... no $$$ in telling people to avoid using...

One of the more recent ones to fall was Rolling Rock beer (aka "The Green Death" ..... as we fondly knew it in my youth) .... although it is still being produced by whoever bought 'em out they shut down (or will be shutting down) the brewery in Latrobe, PA ..... so much for using that "spring...

Yeah ..... only problem with this is I pay $36 (or is it $26 ?) for our DSL at home ..... but it's a 3 Mbps to 6 Mbps connection ..... with no real bandwidth cap (at least not one I've ever been able to hit .....) If I could (reliably) get just a uncapped connection of 1.5 Mbps out on the...

Of course he is - afterall he did say he was at home ..... :D

Moot, I just got word from one of my geekazoid friends (the one I mentioned to you previously) .... supposedly there is to be some kind of iPhone announcement within the next few days .... I haven't been able to locate the rumor site where he got that data yet .... but there has been alot of...

I would say yes it does - at least in theory. Since I'm not doing specifically what you ask about I can't give it an unconditional endorsement. Yup - that's a hard one to pass up. I haven't read the ATT usage agreement but I have seen some mention that doing what you are contemplating...

True - I wanted to ensure that it was clear that the 802.x connection was only really being used to provide a connection between the laptop and the iPhone - and that the iPhone was providing access to internet via EDGE. Fair enough - I just wanted to make it clear that even the base plan...

I came home on Saturday when I didn't have anything by 15:00 - the Ohio primaries are on Tuesday so decided to stay put here at the house until then. I really needed a haircut too :eek: and my barber isn't open on Monday and the wife ain't willin' .... gonna try and slide in on Tuesday if he...

Errr .... not quite - you use the WiFi on your computer to connect to the WiFi on the iPhone .... which itself is connected to the internet via the ATT's EDGE cellular network ..... and is functioning as a internet connection server to your laptop - over a local ad-hoc 802.x network - between...

Had that happen last week - got a call to "fix" a problem - customer had ordered a van without telling Dispatch the dims of the load 'cause they "knew" it would fit on a van. The van was a couple inches too short ..... Funny thing was though .... I actually had less floor length than the van...

That is what's so cool about it - for the $60/month it INCLUDES an unlimited data plan ... along with the phone service. Now if they would just make one that's 3G (which Steve-O has said they will) and get ATT to upgrade their network, and maybe improve the phone quality itself a bit then it...

There is one thing for sure in this argument about what should be done or what shouldn't, what the proper governmental role is, and what the role is for private action (charity) and that is simply this: Generally speaking, whatever you reward, you are going to get more of, and whatever you...

Nothing .... if you don't abuse it. I have a friend that lives up the street from me .... he's a certified welder and when employed usually makes a decent wage. For the 10 or so years I have known this guy he seems to go thru a fairly regular cycle ..... find a job and hold it for awhile...

Two companies over a one year period.

IMHO, it's not a horrible price for a job done right - considering the size of the vehicle and the amount of prep work that might be required. (Anyone priced automotive paint lately ?) Hard to say how outta line it might be without seeing the vehicle and it's condition. A few years ago I...

I have this HP unit in the Sprinter: HP Photosmart C4280 It's a printer/scanner - think it was $89 at Best Buy, It's not as small as one of the Canon flatbeds (which are tiny - we have a Canon LiDE at home) and it does require 120 AC to operate (our LiDE is USB powered) - but it allows me to...
