3 businessman go into a hotel to rent a room
The room is $30
each man puts in $10
After the men go to the room
the clerk realize he's over charge them by $5
He calls over the bellhop and give him the $5 to return to the men
On the way to the room the bellhop realize he can split the $5 evenly among the three men
So he puts $2 in his pocket and gives the three men back $1 each
So the men have now spent $9 each
3 times 9 = $27
the bellhop has $2
Which comes to $29
where is the 30th Dollar?
Sent from the "DOG" pound
They couldnt have spent 9 each because they were overcharged by 5 dollars so two of them really spent 12 and one of them 11 that makes 35. So when they got back the dollar they really had spend 11 and of them 10 and the clerk got his 2. That's what I can think.

Ok, this is actually very easy. The problem of this problem is that you have 2 independent counters (one for paying and one for the change) which you have mixed up and that's why you get different values for the equation (one starts form 1 and ends at 30 and the other starts form 29 and ends at 0) (look at them like vectors). So you should count like this: They pay 10 each = 30, but they should've payed 25. Ok, assume they have payed 25 and receved 3$ for the return, now they have 28 + 2.
The main thing is to realize that you have 2 vectors instead of one.
Or if you are more into C/C++ another way you can look at them is like a vector and it's index numbers. The vector starts from 1 and the index from 0.
Another good example of this would be if you count the fingers of one hand without counting the last one twice. You'll end up with the number 9 instead of 10.

I have, you asked where the 30th $ went. I told you, it hadn't gone anywhere, you are just watching two different vectors... That's all I'm saying. Everything else is just for clarification. Obviously I've failed at that, but the ground assumption is correct, right? (having two vectors)
Aliens.....
Those damn aliens stole the dollar...
Or the the feds caught the poor bellboy on his way to the room and made him pay taxes on the 5$.
He is currently serving 5 to 10 for tax evasion.

Well you did want an answer. Too soon maybe?
But I like the answer after mine more (the one with the aliens and the FBI)
The room only cost $25, not $30. So the guys spent 9 * 3 (27) - 2 (bellboy) = $25

Short answer: No.
Technically NAND has only so many writes but your phone is constantly writing.
I have a feeling there'd be a lot of dead EVOs around here if that were the case.

Could you elaborate on this? NAND limited or something?
i posted this a couple months ago, but still seems fit.
from my understanding, flash memory starts to deteriorate after 45,000 wipes. Simple math states:
1 year on evo = 123 flashes per day
2 years on evo = 61 flashes per day
3 years on evo = 43 flashes per day
4 years on evo = 31 flashes per day
5 years on evo = 25 flashes per day
... and you notice a regressive curve, eventually equaling 1 flash per day ~123 years.
i would start to be concerned around years 60-80 taking hardware deterioration into account.
however, if you save 1 penny per day (assuming cost of phone is $500 excluding rebates) it will take 137 years to purchase a new phone
saving $10/day will take 50 days, but is similar to the monthly cost of a new car (excluding down payment, tax and tags) which should only account for 8% of your monthly income which would equal $3800/month or an annual income of $45,600/year
recommendation: buy a new phone within the next 4 years

I did get 280.00 for the epic with Best Buys buy back program ( best 35.00 I ever spent) and may end up back with a Galaxy s 3 but for now it is Iphone only. I almost threw up typing that.

And it's isued by the company as well.
But too many people in too many places have my personal phone number so it's not that easy for me to move to another number (lucky me).
So I run around with 2 phones.
And since we have a family plan it's not $80 for me but rather 20 or 30. I can take it.
Hope you will be back soon.
Sorry to see that you must leave and hope that you come back to us. I also had an iPhone for about 6 months when I changed jobs. I am pretty much just like Agat said. But luckily I was able to switch the iPhone for an S3 a few weeks ago. So all is right again Anyway good luck in your endeavors!

They had a buy back program that cost 35.00 if you use their insurance which was 9.99 per month. They will buy back the phone at a percent of the original value, not the contract value when you get ready to trade it in. The phone sells for 699.00 at Best Buy without contract so I got 280.00 to sell it back after 11 months. They have canceled this program and only allow current buy back customers to take advantage of it. I can see why they discontinued it.

I would scour ebay for parts or see if someone is selling a defunct t989 you could buy and scavenge the parts. You shouldn't have to pay more than $200 including shipping.

Not really because you get warranty for life you can have as many exchange as you want even when you brick your phone plus it works for any phone that is or was used to your sim card so I think paying my end 5 bucks is well worth it.
And by the way you are right, if i ever crack my screen I prefer to get a new one. people the repair cell phone screens never leave as it used to be. you can tell a lot that the screen been replaced

Hahaha the only phone I got from a warranty exchange that was new from tmobile was when my sensation got a power button defect and tmobile gave me the amaze brand new in box as a warranty exchange. then a few days later i guess they figure about the glitch because the amaze was not long since it came out and took it off from their system as a alternative phone lol.
but guess what I'm kinda tik off from tmobile is that I called to change a plan for my sons phone and the rep could hear an echo so we ketp talking and she said that if I wanted a warranty exchange, my answer was there is no point on getting the same phone that my have the screen bleed or else cause of samsung defect and she had the guts to gave me these alternative phone that I was like omg I better stick to what i have.
1. HTC AMAZE 4G I already had it sold it for the sensation
2. Sidekick 4g
3. Nokia Lumia.
4. Samsung Galaxy S 4G.
5. HTC HD2
Phones that are not even compatible to the S2
Warranty exchange and insurance claim is different. You can exchange as many times as you like but you can only claim insurance twice in 365 days.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
The other difference with an insurance claim is you have to pay a deductable of about 130 per claim when you have the TMOBILE US insurance. I had the insurance on my last phone the HD2 and never used it. Have it on the SG2 as well. Have no idea what you get when you have to file a claim, lesser phone if the phone is discontinued or refurbished?
I had coverage on other phones with SquareTrade and their servce was great. Bought a used phone off eBay, put on the coverage. If something happens, they basically refund the cost for up to two years. Not considering the insurance is dirt cheap compared to the TMobile monthly cost.

Ouch! Well, if this will make it feel better, I've had worse:
Phone + Pavement + Bus # 85 = I'll leave the state of the phone to your imagination. I will, however, say that the SIM card inside was also dead.
And if that didn't make you feel better, I hope it at least made you laugh (I can tell you I wasn't laughing when I saw the result of this combo). That was expen$ive.
Ok, here's the deal: the glass on your phone is just that: glass. What makes it strong is that it's laminated: several layers of glass at tension against each other. You compromise one layer, the entire piece of glass is garbage, it cracks in a spiderweb pattern like what you see. So your glass is a goner.
What about the digitizer under it? Test it very carefully: touch everywhere on your screen and test if the phone will detect it. If not, your digitizer is gone too, you do need that $180 screen assembly. What about the LCD? Any dead pixels / lines / areas?
HOWEVER
If the LCD and the digitizer still work, there is some hope yet: your glass is broken, but your phone still works! What you need to do now is find a way to glue it together again. It will never be like new. It will never be strong again, and your phone will probably die a nasty screen death within a year or so, but that's a year you don't have to buy another phone. I think Walmart has some service to repair broken glass (at least here it does). If the digitizer works, that is. IF it works. And IF your LCD is not damaged. And IF that service is what it claims to be.
Don't expect miracles, your best case scenario is a phone with visual artifacts from the broken glass.
Damn ...
Heard they were now selling our phone for $299 brand new. Not sure how much truth there is to that since I'm in Canada but worth looking into.

So beyond being worried about accidents, remember that even if you think you are or even if you are good to drive, a DUI is no joke.

My family's pretty smart not to.. At least I think.. Might be stubborn.. Uncle drank himself into a coma or got himself put into one, guess a blood alcohol level off the charts will do that to you. another uncle was emotional depressed drinking and another off the charts amount in his system, decided to be a dumb ass and ride his crotch rocket on the freeway at night when he couldn't even stand correctly, a few week coma there and lived after massive brain swelling and just so much blah. Think my family gets the picture not to be stupid with alcohol XD but everyone don't be irresponsible and put your family in such a situation...
A grown man or woman shouldn't have to be watched over like a child from the fear they will do something dumb.
Happy holidays XD

There is a lot of companies that will give you a free ride if you have been drinking. And some will tow your car for free. So there is no reason to get a DUI or possibly lose your life or take someone else's. Its bound to happen to a lot of people over the next week just make sure it isn't you or a loved one. Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to everyone!

Just a single year from hell? ****, I wish... my 2nd one was 3 years of hell, and I'm still not done. (this coming month I'm finally off Probation/Supervision and everything, and I can get a speeding ticket without having to worry about the consequences of this **** coming back to haunt me.)
I couldn't drive for nearly 2.5 years, overall the 2 DUI's have cost me at the very least $35,000, that includes lawyer costs, court visits, missing work, classes, treatment, blah blah blah... Trust me this **** isn't worth it. The loss of your license alone is just awful. Try living by yourself, out in the middle of a corn field and somehow getting to work every day without being able to drive for 2 years. My friends hated me for that. Haha.
One thing that I'll offer as a helpful tip to those who undoubtedly end up in a situation where you need to get home, and your car is the only way... Sign up for AAA if it's available in your State/area. It's only $90 a year or something, and they give a certain amount of tows a year within I think like 100 miles of your location to wherever you want... Just tell them it broke down and to tow it to your house. The guy towing it won't care, he gets paid the same.
Trust me, it's cheaper than a normal Tow and fractions of a penny compared to what it could cost you if things go bad, and priceless compared to the lives you save, including your own.
Think before you Drink, because when you Drink, you don't Think.
Yes its definitely not worth it.. I have 2 from when I was in the Army.. over 2000 dollars in fees.. 5 years probation.. 30 days in jail. Must have a breathalyzer to start my car for the next 5 years to keep my license. Thats 80 dollars a month.. expensive sr-22 insurance. 2 years of alcohol treatment classes and AA meetings. Random piss test where they test for alcohol.. the list goes on.. and trust me I had it pretty easy.. I didnt have to pay for the classes because I took it at the VA hospital.. but the class is about 4 to 5 grand..
I definitely learned my lesson.. I dont even drive anymore. . My girl drives me everywhere. . I might drive once or twice a month when she cant take me for some reason..
Dont drink and drive its not worth it at all..

This is a very interesting thread
I decided long ago to be alcohol free, it's been ten years now...
I stay home for New Years because its just safer that way
If you gotta drink and drive, move to Sun City Center, FL and buy a damn golf cart. You can't do too much damage with one of those and in Sun City Center golf carts are the norm for driving. Hell theres no way a drunk could be anymore dangerous than the 90year old demented folks in a golf cart. Where I live a little south of Sun City Center we have cabs that if you blow over a .08 on their breathalyzer will take you home and in the morning pick you up and take you back to your car for free.
