schestowitzBT has a major cockup, many of my neighbours too lost their landline (and with it broadband, no matter the ISP)Apr 11 10:10
schestowitzBT didn't sort if outApr 11 10:11
schestowitzthey say some time by FridatApr 11 10:11
schestowitzMark Taylor is typing...Apr 11 10:11
schestowitztook them long enough to get it sorted out too...Apr 11 10:12
schestowitzJust to let you know, I finally got back online. The dongle $employer gave me last year is not PAYG, I went to O2 shop today, they say I need to use my old SIM cardApr 11 10:12
oiaohmMy last major screwup up here was a backhoe meeting the major fiberline for the state I am in.Apr 11 10:12
oiaohmschestowitz: hey should not BT be paying for the dongle.Apr 11 10:14
MinceRlike they say, "the big yello cable-finder machine"Apr 11 10:14
oiaohmschestowitz: here in Australia breach of serviceApr 11 10:14
MinceRs/llo/llow/Apr 11 10:14
schestowitzmy older dongle and SIM card seem to work for nowApr 11 10:14
oiaohmschestowitz: they contracted to provide now cannot so 3g or sat or any other methodApr 11 10:14
MinceRoiaohm: maybe he doesn't want a BT dongle? :>Apr 11 10:14
schestowitzoiaohm: yeahApr 11 10:14
schestowitzI phones them 3 times, like half an hour at mostApr 11 10:14
schestowitzThey make excuses upApr 11 10:14
schestowitzAnd the BT engs have not been here yet, they say they haveApr 11 10:15
oiaohmAustralia is fairly blunt on it.Apr 11 10:15
schestowitzI know the person in BT I will send a complain toApr 11 10:15
schestowitzI know the person in BT I will send a complaint toApr 11 10:15
oiaohmFairtrading will kick there ass badly here.Apr 11 10:15
oiaohmHow us the UK equal to fair trading.Apr 11 10:15
oiaohmIn a case like this I don't bother ringing the phone company more than once.Apr 11 10:15
oiaohmAustralian fair trading has teeth.Apr 11 10:16
oiaohmSo much so the ISP basically in case of outage normally first offer is to refund cost of ISP contract for the at least a month up front.Apr 11 10:17
oiaohmSo you can make other arganements.Apr 11 10:17
schestowitzanyway, bottom line is, I'm not perfectly capable of working any time.  Took me a while to set up the dongle for technical reasons, confusion, and miscommunication from BT (them trying to make it appear as though the connection to be fine "real soon now")Apr 11 10:17

schestowitz@Mbugua Iran has oil but it is entirely their business whether they want nuclear power or not. Its none of the US's business. They might want it for the lulz. You don't get to decide that for them. Whether or not Iran shall have nuclear power is the business of all human beings because of the dangers involved. As the Iranian decision-makers are only a handful of people, as opposed to the millions that compose the republics Apr 11 13:42

schestowitzAbout the "wiping" quote: First of all, the very same translation is still present on the official homepage of Ahmadinedjad. And if it's still a wrong translation, well here's another rather new statement from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, religious and political leader:Apr 11 13:42
schestowitzIt is a “‘jurisprudential justification” to kill all the Jews and annihilate Israel, and in that, the Islamic government of Iran must take the helm.”Apr 11 13:42
schestowitzNext, no matter how many fallacies the US have committed, no matter how many wars started, it won't change that you're trying to use it as a straw man just as the OP picture does: Suggesting that the US must not mess with Iranian politics because of the only numbers, if tweaked a little and generously separated from their original context, seemingly providing a better moral position for the Iran. Considering what the Iranian Apr 11 13:42

schestowitzI don't accept the links you gave for gender and for democracy . Its one thing to quote wikipedia and some ngo, but who says they are credible.Apr 11 13:43
schestowitzYou're on very thin ice as you fail to provide any counter arguments.Apr 11 13:43
schestowitzAlso, to quote from the very same website: The first Human Development Report introduced a new way of measuring development by combining indicators of life expectancy, educational attainment and income into a composite human development index, the HDI.Apr 11 13:43
schestowitzI don't see how any of the three pillars of the index has anything to do with my original claims, nor with democracy, due process based justice systems or gender equality.Apr 11 13:43
schestowitzAbout your videos... Press TV takes revolutionary steps as the first Iranian international news network, broadcasting in English on a round-the-clock basis.Apr 11 13:43
