Phew, Got Out Just in Time
I was in Myrtle Beach this past weekend and I heard right now that there is a hurricane, er excuse me, tropical storm hovering over where I was getting some rays only a few days back. Maybe that’s why I’m so happy in this picture.
Or perhaps there was a sale at Macy’s.
How to Unlock a Nokia Phone
Download this Nokia Free Calculator and you can unlock your Nokia cell.
Why would you want to unlock it?
- Well, cell/mobile phones are locked by telephone companies so you can’t change your T-Mobile SIM card with a Cingular one for example. They don’t want you to be able to easily change providers.
- If you are going overseas, you’ll want to take your phone (it must be Tri-Band), and use a SIM card from a European provider to save loads of money on getting a new phone or for paying long distance fees to Verizon or whoever your American provider is.
- Unlocking phones requires entering a code using the keypad on your cell. The code calculator gives you 5 codes.
- If the all 5 codes don’t work, your phone will not let you enter in any more codes. So go to any cell phone shop and for about $25-30, they can plug in a cable and unlock the phone.
- Unlocking cell phones don’t erase anything and none of the settings are altered.
Bon voyage!
Star Trek Thesis
I wish I had done a thesis on this topic and won the coveted chancellor’s prize for excellence from Melbourne University.
“I was interested in where myths turn up in less obvious forms, and there wasn’t much work on the early years of television and its relation to myth,” Dr Baker said.
Smoker? How About Young or Black Too
I’m not sure if you guys have read this yet, but I saw it on the Washington Post today. As if it weren’t hard enough to quit smoking, tobacco companies are trying to keep new (mostly) young and black smokers smoking.
How? By increasing the amount of nicotine in cigarettes by 10-30% since 1998. There should be laws against this sort of thing. Racism, exploitation, and addiction are grounds for some serious law suits.
The nicotine in Marlboro products, preferred by two-thirds of high school smokers, increased 12 percent. Kool lights increased 30 percent. Two-thirds of African American smokers use menthol brands.
Can you imagine if other drug companies started increasing dosages by 25%? Beer, cholesterol medicine, or Viagra! I think lots of randy old men would be suing with their 45+ hour erections, don’t you?
