Comment Re:Not according to Sean Penn (Score 1) 452

Having already lost a referendum to change more than 20 articles, he issued a second one (many lawyers considered it illegal) only to modify the paragraph about presidential reelections and discarding all the others, so after two attempts he won that right... Not mentioning that every polling all resources of the country are used to favor government because there are no public institutions that oppose any of Chavez decisions... Even worse Presiden of the Supreme Court of Justice has recently stated that the state shouldn't have separations of powers because that weakens the government, so all powers should work like only one following president's decisions.....

Issued a call in Chavez words means that every person in the government will dedicate all his hours of work on making it happen, and if you don't then you'll be fired and banished of the government because you're a traitor... 11 years having to see people "correcting" whatever comes from Venezuela, and even now that Chavez is more transparent on his intentions than ever it's sad to continue seeing people doing the same thing....... "correcting" news.....

A dictatorship is a president (elected or not) that takes control of all public powers, change the constitution and laws to adapt them for his own plans and then kill every corner of freedom (slow or fast) to the point that there's no real opposition in the country, that massive media is cornered or adapted to please him and since he adapted laws for him to create the possibility of infinite reelections then he could stay on power for decades.... That's Hugo Chavez.

The thing is, the adverts are certainly bending the truth, even if they're not breaking it. The maps of Verizon's network cover *all* their network, because there's no difference between 2.5G/3G on their technology. By contrast, there's a technical difference between EDGE and 3G on AT&T's network.

The result – the maps show verizon to have coverage and AT&T not, even in areas where (for example) verizon's network runs like crap, and AT&T has excellent 2.5G coverage.

Agree.
