    I've always wondered why they didn't build them with a brush or something to clean the panels off with. Seems like a pretty obvious thing that someone should have brought up in the design stages.

    right, I meant "different" as in on the whole. the point is a cloned cow is going to be just another cow. not a mutant space cow from beyond the moon with muscles that are 15% rhodium by volume or some such.

    it isn't about you paying more. it's about google, vonage, et all paying verizon more. It's QoS based on who pays your isp the most. It's a fucking protection racket, plain and simple.
