Never heard of it.

It is a non-profit online university established by the governors of several western states and has expanded into other states such as Indiana. I've generally heard good things about it and tuition is really cheap. I probably wouldn't do a bachelor's there but a Master's might be a good deal.

Ok, WTF -- end user emails me. She is trying to add a link to the Sharepoint managed "My Sites" tool. She gets an error message that the name must be less than 50 characters. "I tried to add the site but get this error. What do I do?" Seriously?

try "the message is telling me the name must be less than 50 characters. can you count the file name and let me know how many characters you put in as name?"

OMG, LOL! I should've done that. I just replied with: "Shorten the name."

Tried it, it feels cheap, buggy, slow and worst of all all the phones feel like flimsy pieces of plastic Chinese detritus of Pangasius sanitwongsei. D:

How long ago was this? The worst you can really say is plastic, and that ends up making them more durable.

That guy seems either really stupid or he thinks he can pull a fast one on alfa. I'm glad Paypal is backing alfa.

They are having him send the phone back. I can release the refund after inspecting the item.

I can't believe I have something good to say about them

Did you take the serial number of the phone before you sent it? I wouldn't be surprised if he is sending you back a different, dead phone.

I didn't even open the box because he wanted it next day. Serial number is in my order shipment email

School wants $50 registration fee and $30 late fee. Trouble is... I never got a bill until now. More incompetence from them that I end up paying for.

So, at WGU, you pay a flat fee per semester or year (at least for Bachelor's degrees). You are allowed to rack up as many credits as you can cram in for that fee. So assuming an MBA is priced similarly, you could conceivably finish it within a year and only pay a single year's tuition.

I'd much rather deal with a more fragile glass phone that's not creaky and feel like it's going to fall apart in your hand. A person showed me a "bionic" and sheesh why is it so darn big? Really I like smaller phones. If I want to watch a movie or play a game that's what a computer is for. :rolleyes:

With guys running around with these Leviathans in their pockets it's getting harder to tell if it's just another oversized phone vs. a large package! :biggrin:
