Warez Vs. Tethering

[schettj]

i just dont see why this isnt the same

I know. It's kinda sad really, because it is completely different.

One is a software, the other is a service. See the difference between software and service? Note, they are different words, with a long and unambiguous difference in meaning. At no time in history has "service" ever meant, or been a synonym for "software".

And yet you cannot grasp this difference.

It's kinda depressing.

Hey, just for fun, do you tether? Do you have a PAM plan? How often do you tether? As a % of your data use in a month, how much would you say is tethering?

Me, I don't. I hooked the TP up and verified it worked, because in a emergency should I somehow find myself somewhere in the universe where I had to do something with the internet that I could not do ON my phone, but that I just HAD to do right away, then I would do it. But I never seem to find myself there. So...

I have tethered 2 times in the past 4 weeks, for about 3 minutes. I ran a speed test. It represented .01% of my total data use for that plan period. (1 time 4 weeks ago, 1 time earlier today to verify that nothing changed due to this topic)

How about you?

I took a nap, so I'm ready for more

And FYI... brown sugar cinnamon. The best 400 calories you will ever eat (600 with a glass of whole milk. Yum!)

How about you?

no whats depressing is how all of you, wont validate ics being software that takes outside interference to be run properly on our devices.. which it clearly does,, MS, NOR SPRINT allow you to use this software in this manner, without paying you due fees..

You obviously have not looked at some of the lockdown capabilities MS and others are capable of. MS DOES allow you to do it... merely by examining its simplicity. Geez... who put the quarter in you anyway? Maybe you should become a lobbyist. Now... what kind of pop tarts do you like?

And that, right there, is what I call the last word.

LOL.

You really really don't have a clue. Sprint does not charge for the ICS software. It has NOTHING to do with software.

It's not a software issue.

Even if you want it to be, it's not.
