Master reset, factory default, clear data from Samsung Rugby

I have been spoiled with the Blackberry OS. You go to one command and it wipes everything. Ghetto phones (that is non iOS, Blackberry, Android, etc) seem to not want to simplify this.

Some tutorials and videos suggest the password is 0000 – I found it was 1234 on this phone.

Before sending this phone out I did three things:

*Settings -> Reset Settings (this seems to be preferences and such)
*Settings -> Memory Management -> Clear Memory (address book, downloads, pictures, ringtones, etc)
*Dial -> Clear -> All (the calls)

Remember that some GSM phones store the contacts on the SIM card!!!

Seems to have gotten everything at this point. YMMV.

BP should stand up to what it has done, alone

Headlines are being made by a $20 billion fund to compensate victims — but the U.S. government is contributing all $20 billion dollars, according to a BP press release (h/t TPM). BP will contribute between $1 billion and $2 billion per quarter, starting in Q3 2010. In effect, the USA is giving BP an interest-free loan on favorable terms. BP’s stock rose rapidly today.

*BP cuts costs to save money
*BP royally fucks up, destroying businesses and the economy
*Government gives BP $20 billion 3-5 year loan for free
*BP says whoopsy daisy
