Is they will get us to pay the full price for the phone and then raise the charges right back to where they are or charge for some other made up service, none of these corporations are interested in giving consumers a deal, they are interested in their bottom line which translate to crap networks, slower speeds than the rest of the World and high prices.
Get rid of contracts or at least offer a 3 month window for consumers to bail out of their plans, stop the growing monopoly and then when they have to compete with each other the consumers will benefit.
By creating the clock you have given more validity to the pro war meme currently being circulated in the republican debates and MSM, the fact that Israel just asked us for a "bunker buster" bomb is telling, and the fact they were forced to promise not to use it this year (due to elections?) is more telling. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/08/us-iran-nuclear-israel-usa-idUSBRE82717220120308
Israel uses the US as a proxy army, utilizing the power of AIPAC to further it's own goals through lobbying and manipulation of American politics, one need only watch a republican debate and see how the candidates stumble over each other is their pledge to support Israel, this has really gone far enough don't you think?
Israel has nukes and refuses to sign non-proliferation treaties, Iran has no nukes (yet) and no one in their right mind would think Iran would attack Israel if they did have a nuke, it would bring the World down on them and Israels retaliation would be swift. Iran with nukes presents a different sort of problem, not one of using the nukes but one of political implications and Israeli paranoia is dragging the US into another "war" we can't afford.
Currently all 3 countries involved in this fiasco are gearing up for elections so what does that tell you about all the rhetoric?
It's a Roomba, it vacuums my floor on schedule and does a decent job, also drives back to the charging post by its self, other than cleaning its brushes it's entirely autonomous.
"We must vigilantly protect ourselves from terrorists and terrorism." Only in recent times has this entered the common conscious and become such a powerful meme, for some one my age it seems odd to hear people talk as though this "terrorism" is such a powerful threat, have you given any thought to this idea at all? In the USA, besides ourselves, who really threatens us? To me "external terrorism" is as absurd as the cold war was, a huge expenditure of money we do not have spent pursuing military objectives that don't exist. The only serious threat (IMO) is that of the disgruntled citizen, the militias and religious nuts in this country and those that yearn for a race war, the ME is no threat to us, never was never will be. This concept of external terrorist would be amusing if it were not so frighteningly effective on the average persons outlook.
The "War on Terrorism" is just a scam, after the cold war they needed a new "plot device" to keep people in line and feed the Military-Industrial complex (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y06NSBBRtY ) and now they have it, the "Never Ending War on Terror (NEWT)", it can never be won because terrorism is "the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. " and that will never ever go away.
If you ever wonder just how stupid people are simple look at the news and what's broadcast to get an idea of the average intelligence of a society.
It sounds like you understand the "War on Terrorism" is just a scam, after the cold war they needed a new "plot device" to keep people in line and feed the Military-Industrial complex (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y06NSBBRtY ) and now they have it, the "Never Ending War on Terror (NEWT)", it can never be won because terrorism is "the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. " and that will never ever go away.
Given the size you would want to put a tracking and probe package on it and use it as a platform for further exploration and of course track it's ultimate course the next time around. If we weren't so hopelessly political and ignorant as a species we might have been prepared to slow it to an Earthly orbit and make use of it as a habitat or some other purpose, as it is just drop the package on it and use it for furthering science.
One other thing (yeah that's me above) for these "side by side" listening test everyone is talking about no one seems to consider what hardware they were using for the test, if the speakers can't reproduce sound under 20 Hz and over 20 kHz then why would any of the test audio sound different?
I record my performances at 96 kHz sample rate, I have to say that the music sounds much better at 96 kHz than 48 kHz I think (feel?) because the higher sample rate gives audio effects like reverb a lush, deeper sound. The more sample units per second give the effects more to work with, in addition, even though you can't hear above and below certain frequencies recording those inaudible frequencies has an effect on the final product.
You may be able to find some scientific proof of this but for me it's an ear thing, higher sample rates sound better.

Wow your ignorance of the Iranian people and culture is mind boggling, that you actually believe what you wrote is terrifying.

Sure it's not a scam *wink*

Tired of the word "terrorist and/or terrorism.
It's iron python.
Because we don't want it that close to the Earth.

Did you mean: Dilatants
Adrian Lamo must be happy about this...
So does this mean you can't hack without getting caught? Unless you're Chinese state sanctioned hackers?

Yep, not to mention the audio effects like reverb improve dramatically at higher sample rates (if they are written to take advantage of them)
I record my performances at 96 kHz sample rate, I have to say that the music sounds much better at 96 kHz than 48 kHz I think (feel?) because the higher sample rate gives audio effects like reverb a lush, deeper sound.

Fail... that stuff couldn't be tied together to form a cohesive data group prior to the Internet, at least not without a lot of effort by humans.
You are the one giving it (your information) away, so if that bothers you don't give it away.
Otherwise be prepared to be thought of as cattle by the plutocracy. (you already are for the most part)
Ties ins with business and government data, privatized police forces and military, Super PACS, we are living in a Plutocracy.
Yeah that whole penicillin thing is over rated.
