"Phone Power" and similar services are not computer based.

Thanks for clarifying that Phone Power and Skype do not necessarily
require a computer. I'll look into that. Right now I don't want to
spend $80 for PP so that is out, but maybe Skpe, or maybe PagePlus or
one of the major carriers has a plan that will work for us.

Okay, so I looked up PagePlusCellular's $30/mo plan and I have some
questions: (probably dumb questions but I really have never gotten
into the whole cell phone culture):
They say "Standard rates will apply for roaming, international voice,
international text and premium SMS. If you use more than the included
minutes/messages/data in this plan, you will be charged the overage
rates listed below. "
So : roaming. When would I be roaming? Is that any time I use the
phone outside my area code or ? Because here in L.A. where there are 3
or 4 area codes that could add up pretty easily at I think they said
an extra 10 cents a minute...
And these 1200 minutes - does that include the minutes when others
CALL US, or is that just when we call OUT?

Straight talk a wallmart cell phone, comes standard with unlimited
phone text picture message and internet, free computerized 411:( the
computerized 411 is less than useless and I didnt try the internet.
around here straighttalk is on verizon network and works fine.
NET 10 is my new cell provider:) around here its more reliable than
verizon.
50 bucks a month unlimited everything, phone text internet 411 with a
human being picture messaging too. although I havent tried the
internet access.
you buy the 50 buck card and the only added expense is sales tax.
verizons 10 buck friends and family add $8.86 in taxes and fees, call
it 9 bucks, almoost doubling the cost for friends and family
members.......
Net 10 appears to use the AT&T cell network around here which by my
testing is far better than verizons, way fewer dropped call areas.
I got pissed at verizon I started getting these dating texts from the
wierd number 70 705. they were interesting and I am getting divorced
so it was OK.
Out of curosity I finally sent a text back WHO ARE YOU, and got a
response in spanish.
the next day I got a text informing me I was now subbed to the 10 buck
a month premium message service.
The verizon CSR said I will take that off your bill they shouldnt of
done that! and blocked it so it couldnt happen again.
But I never got a text you have unsubbed so a few days later I called
back and the rep said yes your unsubbed.....
Then I asked the service ending question:)
Did this company need verizons permission to do this?
sir verizon partnered with them........:(:(:( partnered wth a spammer?
Thats why I am going to net 10.... verizon drove me away. I was with
them for over 15 years.....

No. PagePlus uses the Verizon Wireless cell phone network. You
are roaming anytime you are off that network. You could be
in New York on the Verizon network and _not_ be roaming.

Where did you come up with that? Phone Power with a 12 month contract
only costs $35.12 to start up. That includes your first month of
service and the shipping cost of the phone power ATA.

I got it here.
So I guess there're different ways to sign up... It's all rather
complicated... I'll have to look at it to understand the different
options I suppose...

He said, among so many other lies, that homeless in America don't have
bikes. How does he know if lives in the Outback?
Well, he just made it up. I bet you the two major groups that ride
bikes in the cities are HOMELESS & IMMIGRANTS. When that is the case,
you are often treated like one of them, and sometimes it takes a
trained eye to tell them apart. One such difference --besides the
quality of the bike-- is that real cyclists ride on the road whenever
possible while the survivors stick to the sidewalks. Then there's a
conflict between pedestrian and bicycle where the pedestrian has the
most to lose. I tell pedestrians, "Hey, I'm sorry to be here but it's
a jungle out there."
As a rule I treat sidewalk riders as low life people and people like
Rod Speed --who doesn't even like cycling-- deserve scorn and
ridicule. He better tell us something we don't know about Australia.

Many more are kids who cant legally drive, and those who cant

Those who ride for exercise don't do so on sidewalks. These are
survivors.

The cops don't give a damn that you ride on sidewalks, unless you ride
in certain exclusive areas where it is expressly banned. I only know
one such area --very exclusive-- and no bike lane of any kind on the
road!
Let me tell you something I witnessed today: Very select area --Jewish
town-- so much so that kids ride alone --kids are afraid to ride alone
everywhere-- and this black guy comes barreling down at 15mph --he
almost hit me-- and nobody cared. They all ride on sidewalks so that's
part of the culture.
Not until we impound bikes on sidewalks while providing space on the
road we will be talking about civilization.

I've never seen a homeless person with a bike. By and large, such
possessions are a hindrance to them. For the working poor bikes are not
uncommon. Holding on to them is hard though.

In general, the USian police have "better" things to do than protect the
homeless.

Me neither. Some had them during the great depression apparently.

They mostly dont 'protect' many at all, just respond to reports of crime
and try to work out who did it etc.
In that sense they do 'protect' the homeless in the sense
of attempting to catch and lock up those that kill them etc.

'The protests, billed as a "Day of Rage, were fueled by anger over
corruption, chronic unemployment and shoddy public services.
"We want a good life like human beings, not like animals," said Khalil
Ibrahim, 44, one of about 3,000 protesters in the capital Baghdad.
Like many Iraqis, he railed against a government that locks itself in
the highly fortified Green Zone, home to the parliament and the U.S.
Embassy, and is viewed by most of its citizens as more interested in
personal gain than public service.'

I knew it would come to prove that democracy is not the solution. Hey,
a tyrant is not the solution either and you can't live without
FREEDOM. This is the important word, but so is the word SOLUTIONS, so
the Revolution is about the FREEDOM & SOLUTIONS.
A guy from Libya called in the radio the other day and said that what
Libya --and the whole Arab world-- needed was MUTUAL AID. In case you
don't remember who proposed it, I quote this:
'If we ... ask Nature: "who are the fittest: those who are continually
at war with each other, or those who support one another?" we at once
see that those animals which acquire habits of MUTUAL AID are
undoubtedly the fittest. They have more chances to survive, and they
attain, in their respective classes, the highest development of
intelligence and bodily organization.' -Peter Kropotkin
He was a prince who became a humble wise man and rejected HIERARCHY as
signaled the King of the Jungle, today visually evident in SUVs and
Green Zones. The vehicle of liberation is the bicycle. Hey, scooters
too!

THE REVOLUTION IS ABOUT SOLUTIONS

You don't get it, do you? The American people have been enlaved by Big
Oil, and the Wise TibetanMonkey brings the humble bike as the vehicle
of liberation.
When was the last time you rode a bike in your community without
fear?
