In the latest network coverage spot, "Paper Dolls," we follow the story of a paper doll family living in our world. As the spot builds, it visually brings AT&T's coverage to life while we watch the father character keep in touch with his family while traveling throughout the country. The spot continues to connect the father with his family back home as he receives picture and video messages throughout his travels. While waiting in line for a taxi, we see the father look to another video message and at this point hundreds of paper dolls unfold from him, extending across the country. As the last paper doll folds out we see that the dolls have connected him all the way back home and the father reaches out his hand to reunite with his wife and kids.

I decided after viewing the footage that speculation from English-speaking viewers should end as to what the content in German actually was. I have given my best effort to provide a workable and detailed translation of the content that was aired on ZDF. I am providing this under Fair Use terms for the English-speaking public, and hope that ZDF recognizes its role in trying to inform the public does not, in the Internet Age, restrict itself to its domestic audience. If Europe and North America should decide "independently" to implement such security practices, then it should be open to debate and scrutiny. My personal opinion -- and one shared by the supposed antagonist of this clip, Mr. Bosbach of Merkel's CDU -- is that 100% security is impossible. More than that: absolute security -- unlike human dignity and privacy-- is not a founding principle of western democratic republics. If we espouse our rights as if they were debatable, then we undermine them ourselves. Security is not a right, privacy is not a privilege that the State is in a position to revoke. The logical conclusion of such logic is totalitarianism. This is unacceptable if the true goal of security is the preservation of liberty. The cozy relationship of poltiics to the security business arena should make us ponder whether or not that is actually the goal at all... Discuss

2 controllers for it (I already stole the motor out of one before XD ). So I tried to remove the thumbstick from the PS2 controller's main board but this was easier said than done as I have no device for removing solder other than a soldering iron :P . So with some persuasion in the form of a pliers I freed it from the board and melted the bits of solder off the many pins. Then I plugged it into the breakout board and resoldered all the pins (better than I normally would, im a total ...

A few angry eruptions retreat into silence and all is calm. With simple-hearted reverence the villagers join in a six ...

of a question posed for its persuasive effect without the expectation of a reply (ex: "Why me, Lord?"). Rhetorical questions encourage the listener to reflect on what the implied answer to the question must be. When a speaker states, "How much longer must our people endure this injustice?" or "How many times do I have to tell you to stop walking into the house with mud on your shoes?"; no formal answer is expected. Rather, it is a device used by the speaker to assert or deny something. Paul ...
