Worst service from an IHOP ever. It took 15m to get our drink order and then another 15m to get the drinks. We tried to walk out but a manager insisted upon giving us our order as take-out for free.

It’s a good point, and I’m glad someone’s bringing it up. The networks that wind up selling service for non-phone devices like this really need to make sure that their marketing ventures aren’t running ahead of their actual capabilities.
Of course, that’s a two-way street. The FCC needs to ensure that approval for their tower and spectrum upgrade rollouts happens...

After watching them launch on TV all my life, it’s kind of depressing to think I’ll never see a shuttle launch in person now.

A little bit of pure awesome. Amazingly helpful when moving a site to a new server if you want to ensure all the media’s been moved correctly as well.
