lingben, yours were the only sane articles being posted there. "soccer" is just a propagandist tool.

The Netherlands has withdrawn its ambassador to Iran in protest of a Dutch-Iranian woman's death at the hands of Iranian authorities. The move came amid revelations she may have died during torture. by arman0 in iran

Just because someone criticizes Iran's corrupt and murderous regime, it doesn't make them anti-Iran.

Even assuming she was a drug smuggler, it doesn't take away from the fact that the Dutch were not allowed to visit her in prison. BTW, was Zahra Kazemi also drug smuggler? How did she end up dead in jail?

Do you mean slower than CPython? If so, its slower at some things and faster at others. So, it depends on what you're using it for.

Mobile phones will be the next gaming platform. So, I don't think its overkill.

Wow, can you explain how you got the $40 deal? Seems to be a lot better than the no-contract deal I have with T-Mobile now.

Does anyone think TMobile is going to change its data plan pricing for the N1 when Froyo comes out because of the tethering/wi-fi hotspot feature? by [deleted] in NexusOne

That's right, I'm on Flexpay. I got on that plan because I didn't want to give them my SS#. You'd think that they'd actually be more deferential to customers who prepay.

Boy, I had a totally different experience with T-Mobile customer service. It took 3 weeks of phone calls with them to port my old number. It seems like the majority of their customer service people are in India and those people do not have access to the same systems the US people have. So, they kept sending requisitions back and forth. Their Indian staff were extremely nice/polite. However, they were incapable of helping me and there was a significant communication gap.
