that includes mobile phone service (since 20 channels of TV are public anyway) where we get some good deals.
For 24.99€/mo with no contract (can cancel immediately), we get 16/1 service (including a WLAN router), standard telephone (anywhere in Germany free to a land line) and the O2 mobile phones for free (we choose to pay an extra 5€/mo for 500 minutes to the EU/US long-distance because I call the US quite often), and 4 SIM cards with numbers and.15€/min and.15€/SMS.
If you agree to a 24-month contract the price is only 14.99€/mo
I can't say that I agree with his content, but Obama does get Joe SixPack to realize that power plants and trains switches can be inadvertently connected to the internet (and to wonder what else it connected.) Hyperbole it is, but it's useful for the non-specialist.
I don't because I don't think TV is a substitute for quality time with my kids. I talk them for a walk on the river (200m from the door) or to the park instead (25m from the door). Also, I'd like to see your 70USD/bill... is that with all taxes and no discounts?
Guns aren't legal in ALL contexts and marijuana is legal under SOME contexts. Also enforcement is very subjective, which is the real problem. America has a serious decision-making problem.
actually, over here you get roughly 20 over the air channels for a "mandatory" 19€/mo. the general programming is quite bad (like dubbed NCIS/CSI/etc... but they carry all of the big events like the SuperBowl/World Cup/Euro Cup/Olympics and have a lot of reasonable movies as well (like MI1/2/3 when the new one came out) if you understand German, that is. Personally, the news quality is quite high and less blatantly politicized than CNN/Fox, and I find it good bargain.
1. I wouldn't put MTV in the keep category. Perhaps in the 80s with Liquid Television and Remote Control. But, their reality TV is abysmal, at best. Nick is great for kids. 2. Yeah, the commercials really bug me. In most of the EU, there's a huge "Commercial" text on the screen with a timer counting down to 00:00 so you know when the programming will be back on. Sometimes, it's 5mins and it's great that I know exactly how long I have.
1. I agree about a few of the Programs on Comedy Central (The Daily Show, for example)... what else did they cut.
2. But, still 180USD/mo is really high. Actually, I think you guys are really strung along by the cell phone/TV providers:(
1. don't you have enough channels already in the US that 26 (potentially mediocre) channels get pulled.
2. has anyone seen the cost of an average bill in the US? my parent are paying something nuts, like 180USD/mo, for a bundled cable package, in rural Maine.
and the mandatory training... are you calling these guys crazy?
The Swiss army has long been a militia trained and structured to rapidly respond against foreign aggression. Swiss males grow up expecting to undergo basic military training, usually at age 20 in the Rekrutenschule (German for "recruit school"), the initial boot camp, after which Swiss men remain part of the "militia" in reserve capacity until age 30 (age 34 for officers). Each such individual is required to keep his army-issued personal weapon (the 5.56x45mm Sig 550 rifle for enlisted personnel and/or the 9mm SIG-Sauer P220 semi-automatic pistol for officers, medical and postal personnel) at home. Up until October 2007, a specified personal retention quantity of government-issued personal ammunition (50 rounds 5.56 mm / 48 rounds 9mm) was issued as well, which was sealed and inspected regularly to ensure that no unauthorized use had taken place.[4] The ammunition was intended for use while traveling to the army barracks in case of invasion.
Marijuana is another issue that the US can't decide if it's wants it legal or not. Either make it legal or don't, but don't leave it in the grey area. Guns/Marijuana/Homosexual Marriage should just be decided upon. America is very wishy-washy.
impose strict laws like the rest of the first-world-west (even CH, which is strict, in the must-have-a-gun-direction) but this do-whatever-you-want-with-gunownership has got to slop
I was thinking more along the lines of long-term un/underemployed "hackers" subsidized by the state.
A converse way of think about it would be a professor who is subsidized to design (through salary support and funding for consumables).
I think the distraction of a job or the necessity to make "a return on an investment" will stifle monumental innovation and promote incremental, albeit still important, refinements.

but to be fair, you should compare the average salary of Frankfurt to that of Bucharest :P
I'm sorry, I didn't realize Paris was small, my mistake.

why I am getting modded as a "troll" because you clowns can't decide if you want/don't want weapons.

... can easily be worked around regardless of what Myriad Genetics and Optimal Medicine tell you. Also, location plays a huge, huge role.
I have 2xB16B4115 for the 2xB16B00B5 /.ers out there.
Lol ... I run a research group which is extremely creative :P

Trendy = bad.
Alone, the voices of the people in the video, make me never want to visit a "HackerSpace."
Bought after security ... doh!
Which will, in turn, force a return to the classics, which is nice.
Stuff that can't be made easily.
Take Eames chairs made out of molded plywood. They're classic, they're comfortable and that can't be made/imitated that easily.
For the initial RepRap it seems to be about 350€ of material? Which, to me seems quite OK (especially when 70€ of that is VAT.)
