Happy anniversary of your birth and successfully navigating another year without the event of your untimely death! Have some delicious pie (or cake if you're more into that sort of thing) and enjoy!
Also, where are all the party hats and blow horns? #observationdeck
The site is loading really slowly for me. Anybody else having this issue? I wonder if it is due to this publicity, or if it just generally has problems..
I see some comments about the browser saying the website isn't secure. I just clicked the link in Chrome and got no such error. When I click the lock to view the certificate info it seems to be verified. Perhaps they sorted out whatever was wrong earlier?
I'm with staySICK on this one. She really hasn't been in all that much. She's had major roles in The Guild and Dr. Horrible, minor roles in Buffy and Dollhouse, and is about to guest-star in a few episodes of Eureka. There's some other stuff in there, but that's the most prominent stuff. There's no way you can say that she's 'in everything nowadays.'
I actually got Jedi Knight. I'm kinda surprised. Of course that seems the coolest, but when I skimmed the bottom I figured I'd actually get something lame like Ewok Cheif or Jabba's Slave Girl.
I've found it useful to use GV for business, like you mentioned. That way I can not have it ring my cell during certain hours (like when I'm asleep/in class) day by day (blocked off much later on the weekend).
But for me to use fully use it for personal use, I think I might have to port my cell number. I'm not sure whether or not I will, but for me to do it I'd first need to get an Android phone for the integration to be good enough (which I hope to do within the next few months). After I see exactly how it works then I'll make a decision.
@wanderingrabbi: I dunno.. I have hope that with the advent of LTE it might happen, since LTE is fast enough to easily accommodate all of those using the same bandwidth. Only time will tell.
@JJV5819: Yes you can. If you're cool with getting a new number to hand out then you don't have to port your old number. I was just explaining why people would want to, since you asked if there were any point.
@Nick1693: But all of them have to transmit the signal really far, then go through wires to its proper location. I really don't see how they're all that different. Maybe the wires they go through now may be divided by service, but there's no reason why it can't all be the same. It's all just data flowing through the tubes.
Also, the cost of great data plans would be worthwhile once the voice and text charges were dropped.
I have Google Voice with its own number. Would it be possible to swap my GV and cell numbers? Tons of people have my cell, so I don't ever want to lose that, but some people have my GV number as well, so it'd be nice to not have a 'new cell' number in the mix and toss out the old GV number. Swapping the two would be sweet. Plus, the GV number is pretty good.
@JJV5819: Think of everyone know knows your cell number. Now if you get a GV number, you have to tell every one of them to start calling that number instead of your cell number in order to make use of GV. The advantage of porting your number is that you do that once, and you never have to tell a single person about a new number.
@Monty: Thanks for the info. I have Verizon as well, and am up for a new phone in a bit over two weeks. I wouldn't consider porting unless I have an Android phone (which I plan on getting), but knowing that it is pretty easy is nice.
@geolemon: I think phones should be data only even if people don't use Google Voice. When you use the internet, it counts as data, texts are texts, and calls are voice. But aren't all three of those technically data? Why can't we just have one data plan, and use text, voice, and internet all in that? I don't use all the minutes I have, but I don't yet have a data plan. Why can't those extra "minutes" be data for me to use?
That way, whether I make a call through Verizon, or through Google Voice, Verizon gets the data money, so they really shouldn't care about GV being a 'threat.'
