Depressing or what? :(


The Brits and Dutch helped make it that way.

And most other western countries don't forget. It's a shame it really is, whenever they destroy a patch (well miles) of habitat, 90% of the live there is wiped out and it becomes a biological desert. It's not only wildlife and plants that are affected, but native tribes are in danger too.

Part 1 of my bleached to brown transformation complete. I've got the red on and I'm leaving it to naturally dry, then I put the brown over the top next. (If I put the brown straight on bleach blonde it will go green, so I have to put red on first.)

Just found this gem in a creationist "article". :lmao:

Quote:
I'd also hoped that at some point they'd take on the immorality of the bonobos, an ape many Darwinists consider to be our closest relative. After seeing the changes in the second edition, my dreams have been dashed. The job of denouncing the bonobos' deviant lifestyle, complete with such crimes against God as make-up sex and penis fencing, must be left to others.

Too bad the Nexuses had a horrible marketing strategy - and the fact that I don't think they carry the needed North American 3G(WCDMA 850/1900) bands for use on AT&T/Rogers. The original Nexus One had AWS(WCDMA 1700/2100) and international 3G.
The HTC Aria and Samsung Captivate are the better Android phones going for AT&T - Motorola just plain sucks IMO. Too bad the Aria has a smaller screen and slower Qualcomm SOC than the Captivate which like I said is the Galaxy S.


Yeah, they didn't put much effort into actually getting them sold, then people wondered why the sales were so low :roll:

They're doing it differently now, though, they're selling it through networks like other phones, which should push sales up since it'll get a lot more publicity.

The way phones work in the US confuses me. Over here, any phone, as long as it's unlocked, will work with all the networks (though the Three network only works with 3G phones). In the US, though, you seem to have whole different bands and systems (GSM vs. CDMA) for each network!

Here, we got SIM/carrier lock(AT&T and T-Mobile) and MSL(Master Subsidy Lock, on Sprint and MetroPCS - both are CDMA) galore. And the different bands and systems. T-Mobile runs their 3G on AWS - the 1700 and 2100MHz bands and regular GSM on the 850/1900MHz bands. AT&T runs GSM and 3G on both 850/1900 bands. Verizon, Sprint, and MetroPCS run 3G CDMA in the 800/1900MHz bands - and MetroPCS as well as a few regional CDMA carriers also have 3G in the 1700/2100MHz AWS bands. Even though the CDMA carriers are running common frequencies you can't use a Verizon phone on Sprint and vice versa - but you can on MetroPCS if the phone's ESN/MEID gets added to Metro's database and your phone gets it's PRL and NAM programmed with Metro's values.

Pretty soon, Verizon and AT&T will run LTE in the 700MHz band.

I plan to get my chores done tomorrow. My place is getting dirty and messy again. I need to make up a list of chores that I can check off.
