@jmellars: Last week, I bought a box of Safeway brand "sugar free" cones for ice cream. The first ingredient was sugar.

Too bad we won't be flying in one of these anytime soon. Boeing had an interesting idea several years ago and was considering building a plane that flew just a touch under Mach 1 to avoid the boom. They scratched it and started work on the Dreamliner.

@adhir: I actually feel quite bad about the dogs, but everything else about this story is a gong show. Possibly after the investigation, "gong" can be replaced with "bong."

@Zanzan42: Oh, I have a heart, but it's black...black like my soul.

@Robpoke: My first thought was about the animals...but this story is wrong on so many levels.

@xTRICKYxx: Then she shouldn't have one at all. Everyone knows that under age teens never drink.

In related news donations can be made at Cleveland Bank to a fund started to raise money to buy the family a flashlight.

@xTRICKYxx: Was this for her protection, or so that you could roughly gauge when to ask her if she wanted to leave the joint?

@The Squalor Also Rises: Well, I'm new to Texas, but if all y'all are fixin' to learn some grammar that wasn't learnt in school, you might could drop by.

@Master_Soda: Actually, even though most of what he said was oddly worded, I don't really see much wrong with it either. I just twisted the words because of what appeared to be a lackadaisical approach to potential illegal activity. But reading the quote, it isn't really clear that they actually did anything beyond…

@Dickeydoo: Well, Ted Rogers ghost is probably robbing your piggy bank while you are typing this :-) I'm Canadian, so joking about being bent over by Ted is allowed...I think.

@j3oomerang: See my previous comment...

@comodidit: If you go on the T-Mobile web page and shop for phones, click "Wi-Fi and Mobile Calling" and a bunch of Android phones pop up. The G2 was there.

The VW Autostadt (#2) reminds me of a vending machine. I had this urge to go there and start shaking it in the hope that a car would fall out the bottom, kind of like going after a Snickers bar or a bag of crisps.

This is one area where T-Mobile really excels (although I'm on AT&T). Many of their phones have UMA, and only need access to Wi-Fi to offload calls to the Internet, and the service is free. So any Wi-Fi hotspot in the world gives you free calls, as if you were in the U.S. (they don't track IP addresses).

The VW Autostadt (#2) reminds me of a vending machine. I had this urge to go there and start shaking it in the hope that a car would fall out the bottom, kind of like going after that Snickers bar resting precariously near the edge.

Great article. No matter how secure ones router is, it is possible, although in some cases improbable, that ones Wi-Fi can be stolen. This article covers most of the bases.

@Kaiser-Machead: OK. When you say it, it makes more sense, if that is what he meant. Silly multi-billionaires.

One day me and some friends had a conversation where we figured we could just steal cars we liked… and then we decided it was illegal. So we stopped doing that.

@Kaiser-Machead: I got stuck on #1 and am still mashing it up in my head.
