What should i do? Please, Please Help!?

I owned an LG glimmer and the screen broke… I sent it out for repair on warranty, and was told it would be a 4 week wait. I waited 4 weeks and checked in with my provider (U.S. cellular) what is the deal with my phone. They told me LG repair center is out of parts for my phone and it will be another 4 week wait… I said okay, however i continued to call several times a week and ask for someone to update me on the status of my phone, or find somebody in u.s. cellular higher ranking than them, who could… each time i was told that it’s not possible to see what’s up with my phone and that i would have to wait it out… after 8 weeks went by, my phone was still not back and when i called 2 months and 4 days since june first, i was told the same thing “they r out of parts, nothing we can do” i went to a different U.S. cellular location, and an associate was able to give me the answers almost immediately, after he made a few calls he told me that my phone was repair back in June and that it was sent out to the wrong location, somewhere in Washington D.C. ( I’m from Wisconsin!!! wtf???) and that the tracking number on the phone is invalid, so it is basically lost. I was outraged that the other U.S. cellular place pretty much refused to help me for 2 months and a regular associate did it in minutes at another location. So after lots of arguing and fighting with the U.S. Cellular and LG, both companies are still pointing fingers at each other, and after over a 2 month wait, the only offer i’m given is a “refurbished phone”. I don’t think that is fair, specially since that phone will die in a month. I was so tired and exhausted that i agreed to a refurbished phone, which showed major software issues as they were hooking it up… so now i’m back to being stuck with a loaner phone and the only offer i’m given is still yet another refurbished phone (which might die soon as i walk out of the store)… I believe i’m entitled to a compensation from both companies for the RIDICULOUS wait, for the stress they’ve caused me, and for the lack of knowledge/cooperation by their employees. can someone please tell me what i could do to work out a deal with them? PLEASE point me in the right direction.
I’m demanding a new phone, so I think the reasonable solution would be me paying a $40 deductible for insurance for a lost phone, LG covering the $100 difference between my lost phone and the only other LG touchescreen (LG Triton) they have available at U.S. cellular and U.S. cellular giving me free internet ( that phone can only be hooked up with internet otherwise i wouldn’t even want internet) and keeping the cost of my contract the same….. doesn’t that sound like a reasonable solution? LG spends $100 to cover the difference, insurance pays over 300 for the rest of the phone, and U.S. cellular simply makes up for the bullcrap treatment that i got…..

Should I download this for my laptop? (Toshiba A505 S6960)?

Last night the blue screen of death appeared on my computer screen and I wrote down the error code. I called Toshiba support center and they told me to turn the computer off restart and continue to press f8 and click on last boot configuration or something like that. The computer works fine now. However the woman I spoke to said that she doesn’t know why my computer crashed in the first place. So I called the IT help desk at my university and gave them the error code. They told me it meant there was a problem with the network drivers and I should install an update I did as told and received the message that my computer already had the best possible software installed and so the helper told me that there must be a problem with the actual wi-fi card and that I would need to send the laptop in to either best buy’s geek squad or toshiba. I live on campus with no car and best buy is far away, classes start wed. so I don’t have time to send it into toshiba and wait for it to get back. I can’t afford to be without a laptop, anyways I went onto Toshiba’s support website typed in the make/model: Satellite A505-S6960 and found a support bulletin titled: Wi-Fi data transfer may stop temporarily, “Copy File” error message. It basically said to download this Atheros wireless LAN driver thing. Here’s the link to the bulletin:

I really don’t want to download this and get even more problems so if someone could read the bulletin and tell me whether or not this will solve my problem that would be helpful. Also, the error code I got on the blue screen of death was 0x000000d1 NETw5v64.sys if that will help.

is it a good laptop and what should be its price?

Why we should allow DRM on open source platforms
The problems with DRM are many, but that does not mean we should prevent people from using it. There are good reasons to let them suffer the consequences of their own bad choices.

How much capital should I have to start my own Telemarketing business?

HELP, please read these options. Where should I move? Which option is best?

Okay so I want to move out my parents house VERY SOON like by next month or earlier if possible. Before it gets cold anyway. These are my current options:

Go back to my old college for grad school (Spring 09) and in the meantime get an apartment in the area ($750-$900/month) My school doesnt offer housing for the grad level students. So this would be my best bet to relocate altogether. I am fairly familiar with the area and know people who still attend the college even though I graduated roughly 2 years ago. I would not be completely alone in a town I dont know. Downside is the town is small, nothing to do–I dont have a car but I would use extra loan money to purchase one once I begin classes.

Another issue is all of the apartments in my opinion are overpriced without any furnishings. So it would be even more expensive to purchase furniture or air beds, etc.

The next option is to move to Philadelphia, PA. There are actually some decently priced apartments that run in the $600-$800 range. I want to live as close to downtown or Center City as possible for the public transportation since I do not have a car. I came across a nice ad that is only asking for $550 a month but wants a $600 deposit, 1 months rent and to pay an application fee. It would be shared housing, I get my own room share a bathroom but have access to all amenities/utilities included that I need. There is a great apt/condo development called Chestnut Hills most apts in the $810-$1050 range they are fully furnished with great amenities. The only issue there is the rooming I want wont be available until December. The available rooms are all expensive and are very large 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. I just want a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment!

The last and final option is to live in the south (NC) where most of my mother’s family is. You can actually get a very affordable apartment for $400-500/mo even less in the major cities. The downside is I would have to get a car which is an additional expense. Another plus side is my cousin could live with me she is with her parents too.

Which option should I take? Try to give a reason why I should or should not consider certain choices. Thank you.

Altogether I have about $2500 saved up towards the move. This is only meant to be enough for the first two or three months thats it.
Thanks for answering my question everyone I really appreciate the answers I have gotten so far. To answer the obvious, I am not currently employed and I dont have a car. I figured that if I move to a larger city like Philadelphia, I would be able to find a job much easier/public transit. As for NC, although its most affordable rent wise my mother’s family is much more intrusive than they need to be so maybe that is not a good idea. My cousin is having a hard time getting work herself!

As for going back to graduate school, I think its my best bet at this point only because a shared housing situation doesnt seem desirable to me, the more I think about it. Plus I dont know anyone in that city that well so maybe I should stick with going back to school. This school is most likely to accept me.

My goal is ultimately to go back to school and get a decent job. The sooner the better. I am at the point in my life where I want to make my own decisions and have MORE liberties
