MASA will put a whale on the moon for 200 bucks.

Anything that gets more money in the hands of nasa can't be all bad.

Except if you want to see if it works. target something no one is going to miss. What do you think would happen if a brand spanking new spy sat or something blew up? They would want to know what the fuck happened and investigate a lot more thoroughly than they will for this.

Pretty much everything else that doesn't start with an i. HTC's m9 looks quite nice, SD slot present and accounted for. Sony's xperia line is nice too, but it is sony and the one I have (Z) is very quiet on it's external speakers, so much so that with any real background noise you have to hold it by your ear to hear anything anyway. HTC or possible ship jump to a nokia windows phone is looking like a winner to me.

These phones are not hard to aquire. Sure if you want to buy it flat out sim free you're looking at a steep price tag, but like 90% of people (statistic provided by my ass) you get one on contact, so unless you have less than £20/30 (dunno what price contacts run in US) and can afford the monthly payment you can get practically any phone you want. Not hard, not exclusive, certainly not for the blessed few. Even fucking tesco workers are running around with latest model phone (or n-1 if their contract still has another year to run). If you can't afford one (if you want one) then you have a real shit job that pays peanuts, or no job at all.

Non replaceable battery, meh. Non expandable memory, now that is a show stopper right there.

That's what me and my brother thought, dependant on a number of factors. But when it was on the news we were both seeing the different colours, regardless of viewing angle or distance or any other factors. The effect was even carried through to a photo on my phone of the paused tv screen. It's the most bizarre thing.

Is that why Jesus walked around performing miracles? And also why there's such heavy consequence for making the 'wrong' choice? Also I'm pretty sure most people would choose good, especially when given all the information to make an informed choice.

Don't forget to leave it somewhere easily accessible and in plain sight.

People did that, the fact they were christian is moot. Those things predate christianity by a long stretch. In fact if prayer worked the way the bible says it does (when it says they do as opposed to when it says they don't) none of those would be needed.

Nice.

Well I suppose that smell is more bearable. Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Seems like the system you argue against is alot like what we have here in the UK, a ton of providers with general oversight being treated like a utiity. We can get internet as cheap as £3.75 a month (https://www.plus.net/) to full on fibre/tv/phone packages up to ~£100 for everything. The lions share of deals are also unlimited downloads. The only bad bit is you have to pay line rental regardless of isp at around £15 a month. The whole infrastructure is operated by openreach who only deal with isp's then isp deal with customers. For the most part it works pretty well. A shit load better than what you have.

It's not like that's a uniform spread. You may have a low overall density but you also have massive chunks of nothing. People in Bumsville Idaho or Shittown Kentucky* might not get great connections but that is no excuse for your cities having just as crummy service. You may have guessed I'm not American so have no first hand experience but from what I gather, even in downtown LA or NY you still get very limited choice, not great service and high costs compared to other countries.


*No offence intended to people from Idaho or Kentucky.

As long as you hold your nose when you make a call you'll be grand ;)
