VZWguy is a moron... the link for the script is above in one of the comments.

I am a wireless network guy and there is only one real reason why people are forced to keep verizon...

" Everyone I know has verizon and the minutes are free from verizon to verizon... I already pay $400 a month for txt message for my kids blah blah "

Everyone hates verizon. They have horrible phones... horrible battery life... they cripple every new feature... and they are the most expensive.

I am glad to get rid of them.
I Just called and used the script from consumerist website. After 14 minutes I was disconnected without a termination fee.

I said it was unacceptable and I refuse to pay the rate increase. Also it states that in the customer agreement that I have 60 days to refuse and cancel my contract termination fee free. They really didn't argue and did as I asked.

Very happy.
I was also one of those people for the re-up of the wii. I got online in slot #3 at midnight and waited 8 hours to get a ticket and then purchase the system in a nice town in NJ!!!

We had about 20 people attempt to cut the line and were sometimes physically removed by others on the line. The cops were called to all local stores... toysrus where i was, best buy, target, etc..

The manager told us at 4am that there were only 75 units and about 20 controllers with nunchucks. 3 hours before 8am, the cops arrived to keep order. Mostly stopping people from cutting the line. The line got up to 150 people... for 75 wiis... People were frantic. The first 75 people were infront of the store at 4am. People from 4am to 8am were getting crazy and it was a mob scene at the end of the line.

The manager had told us that he would take in 6 at a time. The first 30 people, "my buddies" decided whoever goes in, comes out together for safety sake. The cops were at the exit as well.

You do not even want to hear the melee of what had happened with controllers. It was first come first server for controllers, wii, and games... but people who didn't get a ticket ran into the store and tried to run out with all the controllers, they were arrested.

The worst was the rich soccer moms who tried to scoop in at the last second to grab a ticket.. This story is totally true and I relate to it.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
