Comment on Likes And Dislikes: AT&T Wireless. by Nino Priore

Charlie, thanks for visiting and replying to my post.

I hope I didn’t appear to be falsely representing what you were saying. I used the term “rip-off” to sum up the general feeling I have towards AT&T as well as to describe my interpretation of your post on the subject.

I apologize for declaring that is what you think and I appreciate you elaborating on your thoughts.

Although you would not use that term to describe how you feel about AT&T, after my recent experience with them, and the subsequent unjustified increase to my monthly bill, I feel cheated and I can’t help thinking they have ripped me off.

To set the record straight, I do NOT think AT&T Wireless is a rip-off. What causes me to hate them is that they take extreme advantage of their advantage they have over me right now. I want the iPhone, but to have the iPhone, I need to accept ALL of their terms and conditions including higher process for commodity services that I would otherwise NOT nor could they sell on the open market without iPhone.

Long-term, I don’t believe this is a sound brand strategy for AT&T. I should want to continue with AT&T even if they don’t have iPhone, but their policies force me to regard them as the ONLY reason I accept them is iPhone. And, when I have another choice, it will be anyone but AT&T.

That is a different argument against AT&T than they are a “rip off.”

Comment on How To Store Multiple Values Together In One Variable By Using A Bit Mask In VB.NET by Nino Priore

I just thought I should mention this:
Someone who is familiar with bit masking, and reads this article, may want to point out other ways to achieve the same results as the example in the article. So just to be clear, yes, I could have used the combination of the AND NOT bit operators to achieve the same result.

I could also have written the select statement like this below. I chose the longer version for the article because I thought it was easier to understand for a reader that was new to the subject of bit masking.

        Select Case True
            Case sender Is Me.ckA
                Answer = (Answer Xor AnswerEnum.A)
            Case sender Is Me.ckB
                Answer = (Answer Xor AnswerEnum.B)
            Case sender Is Me.ckC
                Answer = (Answer Xor AnswerEnum.C)
            Case sender Is Me.ckD
                Answer = (Answer Xor AnswerEnum.D)
        End Select
