Not with newer phones; Verizon's new model phones all deliver SMS via the data network. That's why your texts are sent so much faster than they used to be, the phone doesn't have to deal with contention to secure a channel on the voice network just to send 140 bytes. Voice is going there too, see VoLTE. Eventually it's all just going to be packets. The carrier's voice and SMS services will get special QoS treatment but that's the only thing that will be special about them.

some would make the argument that the 2 are not the same. (not me, but some)

one involves the ending of a (potential) human life, the other...is drawing a cartoon....

Not really the same

im not so sure its self serving though. he has been against the patriot act forever. now he actually has a chance to do something about it.

simple solution... dont attribute it to your real name, or any acct that can be linked to your real name!

That's a nice, pithy saying, and true in all respects.

What if I want to post innocuous things, but don't want people to *misinterpret* what I'm saying?

Alternate: What if I want to post innocuous things, but don't want people to invent subtext where there is none?

Have you ever tried to write to a public audience? There's a reason why the President's "State of the Union" speech takes a lot of effort, and even then people bend the meanings of the words in extreme ways to justify bizarre interpretations.

Waiting to hear your pithy response.

thats not the point i was making, and i for one am very happy to see anything at all being done to preserve these ancient artifacts (id like to see more ISIS people being killed off but thats a different topic)

I just dont quite get why this is newsworthy , or at least the 3d printer and artist part. hes making replicas, which is awesome, but not really newsworthy, people have been doing so for centuries

if you dont want people to know what you are doing.... dont post it online for the world to see! is it really that hard???

My question is where is the money coming from to pay for this? i want my teachers teaching, not spying

the cake is a lie

what do you mean "when" didnt you see all the outrage over the draw a cartoon rally from last week??? the left was saying they deserved to die for drawing a cartoon.... i mean come on

whats so special about making replicas??? is it because of ...with a computer!?

I love this thing

difference being obama said alot of things

rand is actually doing something

hes not, and he doesnt claim to be.

does it bother you that libertarians (or people who believe in libertarian beliefs) like him eventhough he is not a "libertarian"? Or do you dislike him because no true scotsman?

they do so because they are scared of him, and rightfully so

only took 6 years, and with no help of the president, who if i remember correctly ran on killing the patriot act in 08.....
