I'm not sure if you're a troll or not, but the tegra 2 is intended for exactly this market. It uses the same cortex a9 cpus (comes in dual core varieties too) and supports hardware 1080p encode/decode. The TI OMAP4 is another similar product.

You heard wrong; you've been able to freely transfer ringtones on most verizon phones since pretty much forever. I have heard they've been changing their store around this year though, so we'll see what happens...

Comment If you're interested in Japan, check out Tohoku (Score 1) 386

If you're interested in Japan, check out Tohoku University. They're a technical school which does English courses in Japan. Being Japan, it's also pretty easy to get scholarships (I most everything paid for when I was accepted, including 2 round trips from US to Japan per semester, food, housing, etc.). Finally, since they're an English speaking school, they do a lot of work with study abroad students. The main downside to any study abroad program is transferring credits. Perhaps it is different at some schools, but at a fairly high level research university, it's almost impossible to transfer credits for anything outside of the core. The content has to be too similar. On the other hand, my school would let me transfer the courses as generic technical electives, so I'd recommend that to you.

And you misunderstand Pascal's wager.

Pascal understood the real-life costs of being an adherent; he just thinks that the possibility times the infinite reward of belief is greater than the FINITE costs expended while alive. Of course, since you obviously believe the possibility to be infinitesimal, the wager doesn't make sense mathematically.

At least the paragraphs on true belief give some value to your +5 interesting.
