What's the real scoop on subsidies?

I am on another forum where they are discussing subsidies and up grade fees.  There is a post that says Verizon is ending subsidies and not grandfathering unlimited data plans.  It was my understanding that Verizon was NOT going to force you to a new data plan as long as you didn't make changes to your current plan.  Also stated was that Verizon is ending subsidies.  I have not heard anything about that ever.
What's the deal with the $30 upgrade fee?   Any way to avoid that?

Verizon is going to be ending subsidies on tablets, not phones.  Also, them not forcing you into a new plan has gone away with the introduction of shared data plans.  Though, as Ann154 said, you can always buy a new phone at full price and avoid this.

  • VGA vs DVI - What's the real difference?

    Hi everyone, quick question. I currently have my 19" LCD display hooked up to my MacBook via the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA adapter. Here's my question. What is the real image quality difference between VGA and DVI-D connections?
    I don't watch videos or do any video editing, so if that's the difference, I don't need it.
    Would I notice any additional display sharpness (especially text and pictures) by upgrading to a monitor with a DVI-D input?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Read the Overview from this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvi
    That explain a bit of the benefit of DVI.
    I also use my Samsung LCD 19" widescreen with mini DVI to VGA, and so far I'm happy with it, so if you happy with your display color, why bother to spend abnother $19.99 for new adapter.
    Good Luck

  • What is the real scm latest version ?

    What is the real scm latest version/patchset ?
    10g, 9i or 9.0.4 ??

    There is a "latest' version of 6i and 9i and 10g. Each of these uses a similar underlying repository. Each is connected to a Designer that generates a specific release of Developer (6i gens Forms 6i, 9i gens Forms 9i, etc).
    About now, the latest 10g is 9.0.4.5, while the latest 9i is 9.0.2.9, and the latest 6i is 4.11.

  • What are the real minimum requirements for Mountain Lion?

    What are the real minimum requirements for Mountain Lion. Currently running Snow Leopard. I have a late 2006 Model: iMac6,1. Specs: 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo, 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2, and the optional nVidia GeForce 7600GT c/w 256MB GDDR2. The advertisement is stating a 2007 model as the minumum, however the fastest 2006 Gen Plastic iMac should be faster then the slowest 2007 Gen Aluminum iMac7,1?

    From a previous posting from some else, I saw it was the 32bit versus 64bit video card driver being the issue. I was wondering if the optional video card I have installed also was limited to the 32bit issue. 64bit drivers exist for the 7600 GT GPU.

    "You have to change your router's IP address to be able to access it. It will not give you the internet."
    I'm not sure what that means Richard, but I did change the router's IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.5.1- isn't that what you meant in your first post. I know that isn't reflected in my screen capture that I took last night, but I did do that this morning after I read your post.
    "Log on to your router and change two settings.
    Change the setting in Setup from PPPoE to Automatic Configuration-DHCP and click on save.
    Click on Advance Routing and change the setting from Gateway to Router then click on save."
    I did this and still same results as far as I can tell. Can't get online through the router.
    "Click on MAC address clone under setup tab ... click enable & click clone ...click save settings ... Check the IPaddress under WAN page ....
    If getting IP in public range .... try going online ...."
    I tried this- at least to the part about checking the IP address under WAN. I assume you mean the WAN page in the modem setup- nothing looked any different after trying what you suggested, and I'm not really sure where I would be "getting IP in public range" or what that means.
    I'm about to give up and just buy a new router to see if I can get the same lack of results with a different one. My ISP maintains that everything is set up correctly on their end and really can't do anything more for me. The Modem works and is set up correctly and they can give tech support for a router.

  • What are the real data files of an Oracle installation?

    When I install an Oracle (XE) database then a lot of stuff is copied/setup:
    *.exe, jdbc driver, service tools, scripts, config files,....
    But which are the real data files (under WinXP)?
    I mean the files where all the individual, personal table defintions, trigger code, inserted data records are stored?
    As far as I heard these are only 9 files.
    Is this true?
    What, if I copy just these 9 files to another Oracle XE installation on another computer and replace the 9 files over there?
    Is all the content available at the remote computer after restart?

    What, if I copy just these 9 files to another Oracle XE installation on another computer and replace the 9 files over there?No. Oracle is far more complex than that. The control file keeps info about the data files, including stuff like the last checkpoint scn, etc. If you just drop a new file on a different installation, even if the file has the same name and is in the same path, it won't match the info in the control file.
    That's not to say there aren't ways to move a data file from one installation to another. But it is a lot more complex than simply dragging a file from one folder to another.

  • What's the real meaning of "JavaBean"

    What's its real meaning?
    Are HttpRequest,HttpResponse JavaBeans?

    What's its real meaning?
    Are HttpRequest,HttpResponse JavaBeans?No.
    http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/
    JavaBeans are intended to be platform-independent reuseable program chunks. They require their methods to follow naming conventions so they can be universally recognized and applied.
    HttpServletRequest, and HttpServletResponse are dependent on Servlets. They are also interfaces. JavaBeans are classes (so they can carry their implementation around with them). These classes do have some methods that follow the JavaBeans specification, but (their wrapper classes) do not provide public empty constructor, the first requirenment of a JavaBean.
    Although they are not javabeans, you can use the methods that they have that follow the naming conventions (like request.getMethod() and request.getRequestURL() or response.isCommitted() and response.setContentType()) through JavaBeans mechanisms, like EL and JSTL - if you already have an instance of the objects you are working on (which you do in Servlets/JSP). You would not have access to their other - non spec. following - methods.

  • What are the real advantages of ultilizing Teststand test engine as opposed to stand-alone Labview programming

    The real problem that i am having is trying to keep open the VI that is called by Teststand for the user to enter values. Sometimes the window does not even appear to be open. Do i need to add delays.

    hi,
    I guess you do have a while loop in your VI to allow for user input!!
    It might be that the VI front panel is going behind the main panel. In which case you need to make the VI behave as a modal dialog. If you have TestStand 2 then there is an example ModalDialog in the examples folder. If you are still using Teststand 1.0.x then you can get the same example in the Resource Library. Do a search for Modal Dialog.
    Hope this helps

  • What should the real world transfer speeds be on the SATA drive?

    I've getting the following speeds on my Hitachi Deskstar drive that shipped with my MacPro.
    I read somewhere that the hitachi drives shipped running at a lower speed and one had to use the tools supplied on the Hitachi website (DOS disk!!) to enable the higher speeds.
    This is the reading from Xbench.
    Is this correct? 66mb/sec? Isn't this less than Firewire 800?
    Sequential 100.30
    Uncached Write 108.53 66.64 MB/sec [4K blocks]
    Uncached Write 101.51 57.43 MB/sec [256K blocks]
    Uncached Read 84.80 24.82 MB/sec [4K blocks]
    Uncached Read 110.85 55.71 MB/sec [256K blocks]
    Bit of a newbie to drive architecture, but what does the 3gb/sec come from???
    Thanks in advance

    FW is capable of 800 Mbps.
    SATA has a bandwidth of 3Gbps
    SATA 1.0 specifies a channel bandwidth of up to 150MB/sec theoretical.
    SATA 2.x specifies 300MB/sec.
    Compare that more to how Ultra160 SCSI shares or uses that for multiple drives (and there was some overhead and inefficiency that could result in loss of 10-15%).
    SATA Port Multiplier controllers can share that 3Gbps with up to 5 drives.
    My 10K Raptor has 84MB/sec writes, and about 75MB/sec reads.
    Xbench is not accurate.
    You might want to take a look at StorageReview -> Drive Performance DB.
    Most 7.2K drives, PATA or SATA, are in the 60-65MB/sec range today.

  • 880GM-E43 - What is the "real" maximum memory for this mobo?

    Hi,
    I have a system that I built awhile ago that uses the 880GM-E43 mobo.  At the time that I built this system, everything that I found indicated that the max memory was 16GB (4 x 4GB), which is what I have installed now.
    I've been wanting to have more memory (lots of VMware guests), so I've been starting to look at building a new system, which I thought would have required a different mobo that supports 32GB (4 x 8GB) and a new set of 8GB memory sticks.
    While I was researching that, I found this:
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/880GM-E43.html
    and under the Specifications tab, it says:
    Code: [Select]
    DDR3 Memory DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600*(OC)
    DDR2 Memory N/A
    Memory Channel Dual
    DIMM Slots 4
    Max Memory (GB) 32 
    Everywhere else, other than the MSI website itself, still seems to say "16GB" max.
    Does anyone know which maximum is correct?  Is it 16GB, or is it 32GB?
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Quote from: Bas on 02-January-12, 23:48:42
    It's only limited to what the CPU can handle, and that is far more then you can buy at this time
    However, MSI only tested at the time of production of the board.
    So if you use bigger modules you have to test yourself if it works with your CPU, the board got nothing to do with it.
    What ever you do, don't mix sizes and brands, often goes wrong.
    Bas,
    Not doubting what you said, but I hope that's the case.  Will post back as soon as it gets in and I get a chance to test it.  As you suggested, I'll initially remove the 4x4GB sticks, and replace them with the new 2x8GB sticks, and see how that works.  If it that works, I'll put in the additional 2x4GB (understood what you said, but this is interim).
    Then, if that works, I can wait for maybe prices to drop to get an additional 2x8GB kit, but going to 24GB will help a lot with the work that I'm doing (mostly Vmware guests).

  • What's the real advantage to LabView?

    Hi
    I just started working with LabView to evaluate it's potential for
    controlling an experimental apparatus I'm building, and I'm trying to
    decide between it and C++. I've heard many recommendations of LabView,
    but I've been disappointed with it so far.
    My chief objection is program control. LabView to be sure does have nice
    GUI control objects that are easy to implement, but the lack of
    event-driven control structures is frustrating. After looking things over
    and experimenting a lot, I figured out a way to do GUI events with
    Synchronization VIs and a Case Structure, basically building my own
    message loop, but then I started to think - isn't this what I used have to
    do 10 years ago before the days of C++ class
    libraries? Sure, I'm saving
    a little time with my basic GUI controls, but to really customize controls
    I have to use ActiveX (LabView's "custom" control facility is pretty
    weak) too ,and if I used C++ I could get away with plain old child
    windows. I know LabView couldn't be as popular as it is if it didn't
    offer more advantages, so what is it I'm missing here? Is it just that
    LabView is easier for non-programmers?
    I'm also a bit shocked that the only While Structure (which perhaps should
    have been called the "Until" Structure) is execute-and-test. There's a
    reason why most other programming languages give you both
    execute-test-loop and test-execute-loop control structures. That seems
    like a big oversight that should have been easily correctable. I know I
    can fix it by adding some more logic to it, but once again I find myself
    paying for slightly easier GUI control object implementation by having to
    jump through all sorts of program control hoops.
    Thanks,
    Ben Buckner

    First off, note that I'm not the typical user as I work for NI, on LV. One
    of the biggest advantages to LV is that it is a dataflow language that works
    largely by value. This means very few side-effects in a language that
    supports fine grained parallelism. The other features that stem from these
    are garbage collection, easy to build/test code modules, and lots of public
    domain SW in the instrumentation and analysis areas. Also, LV is very open.
    Since most of its driver integration is done through DLLs and CINs, that
    means that you can too. You can call DLLs, automation servers, integrate
    ActiveX controls, communicate over TCP, and lots of other protocols; so your
    hands are rarely tied to just what NI ships with LV.
    The UI elements make many instrumentation programs easy and simple to write.
    They don't give as much flexibility as a framework written in C++, but they
    perform the 80% case with much less effort.
    If you are comfortable with C++, and aren't looking to simplify your
    programming tasks, then you might want to look towards the Visual Studio
    plug-ins NI sells like Componentworks or Measurement Studio. NI doesn't
    attempt to limit your options to just LV. They will offer more flexibility
    than LV, but will not have some of the advantages that LV brings to the table.
    As for how many loop types are built in, again, the goal was more one of
    simplicity than of flexibility. In reality, I almost never use a do loop
    or a while loop in C/C++. I also rarely need to add anything to a LV
    loop to make it pre-test. I also don't write very complicated UI's in LV.
    If I do, I build a state-machine that takes care of UI transitions. True,
    LV could build this stuff in, and it probably will in a future release, but
    in the meantime it has lots to offer. Is it what you are looking for?

  • What Is The Real Current Driver

    Greetings, I have an MSI MX440-T8X  Vid Card and was wondering what the current driver version is.  There is some confusion between the live update, The MSI driver site and the NVIDIA site.  All three sites post a different "current" driver?  
    System, XP-PRO-SP1, Intel 2.53, 1GB PC-2700 RAM, ASUS P4S8X MoBo.
    Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

    Latest driver is 56.72 WHQL Certified from Nvidia plus there are some newer then that but they are beta drivers  

  • SSD: What's the Real Advantage?

    I am planning to but a new iMac and was thinking about getting a SSD. But I'm curious as to what the advantages really are? If its just speed, then IMO it's not worth the extra $500.00. I always though that SSD drives are more stable and had a longer lifespan. I'm reading things to the contrary though.

    Don't know where your information is coming from. They run faster, cooler and have no moving parts to wear out. The drives at Crucial and OWC have an estimated 10 million cycle life and are gaurnteed for 3 years. My boot time went from a couple of minutes to about 25 seconds, Applications launch in a flash. If you have Pageouts due to not having enough RAM this too is faster and less demanding on the Drive (no moving parts). For me it was the best investment I could make in my machine. I wouldn't buy a SSD that will store everything as they are still pricey but for all my Applications and enough room for project data is a must, IMHO.
