AndyDuncan commented on Rumor: Apple and AT&T Developing iPhone Tethering Plan

"Standalone wireless broadband plans from ATT, Sprint, and Verizon are $60/month. That's what they cost."

AndyDuncan commented on Rumor: Apple and AT&T Developing iPhone Tethering Plan

"So ATT currently offers the iPhone (and other) plans as "Unlimited" because they know that most people would have to make Herculean efforts to download more than, say 5gigs/month on an iPhone. But their internet plans, like the 3G card I have, are capped at 5 gigs. If they offer tethering, it will be at a cap, which means, say 5gigs for phone AND laptop combined. I can't WAIT for the f-ing uproar when people start bitching that they are paying more for tethering but getting less (it's no longer "unlimited")."

"The thing with all these "Fastest around the ring" claims that bothers me is that you're taking different drivers on different days and throwing them at a track that has no runoff, is chock full of potholes, spray painted, loaded with tarmac changes, etc."

AndyDuncan commented on Some Men's Sports Are Losing Funding Because Of Title IX Interpretation

"@girlwonder: Actually title IX doesn't say anything about funding or quotas, it just says that representation in the athletics programs has to be "proportional" At most schools that meet title IX, they still spend more money on men's sports (because of expensive football and basketball programs), but they get away with it because they have a proportional split of athletes."

AndyDuncan commented on Some Men's Sports Are Losing Funding Because Of Title IX Interpretation

"At the bigger schools with successful football programs, the football team is a profitable revenue stream which funds other sports. At smaller schools or schools without a legacy of winning, the football team is a giant money hole that can suck in millions of dollars a year. Whether you blame or curse football really depends on the profitability of the team at any particular school. With regards to title IX, I know this is hardly the group that would be receptive to the following suggestion, but: Demand to play is unequal between women and men, more men go out for teams and want to play than women."

"Well, I was curious what it would cost to option-up a 135 with all the bits and pieces from the t-ii concept, now I know: way too much. Could get most of the meaningful bits on a base 135 for about $45k though, which is still insane, but not as bad."
