Iran’s President in an interview said paraphrased, his way of trying to start talks on Israel and Palestine conflict was through the conference he initiated in December 2006 in Tehran titled something in lines with: International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust.伊朗总统在接受采访时转述说，他试图开始谈判以色列和巴勒斯坦冲突的是通过这次会议，他发起于2006年12月在德黑兰举行题为东西线：国际会议审查全球视野的大屠杀。
The goal according to him was not to deny or prove the existance of the Holocaust.根据这一目标他没有否认或证明存在的大屠杀。 Further though, the Iranian Foreign Minister said: “If the official version of the Holocaust is thrown into doubt, then the identity and nature of Israel will be thrown into doubt.进一步不过，伊朗外长说： “如果正式版本的大屠杀是扔进疑问，然后的身份和性质，以色列将扔进疑问。 And if, during this review, it is proved that the Holocaust was a historical reality, then what is the reason for the Palestinians having to pay the cost of the Nazis’ crimes?”如果，在此审查，证明大屠杀是历史事实，那么是什么原因，巴勒斯坦人不得不支付的费用纳粹的罪行？ “

What Iran’s true motive with this conference was, only they can answer, but here is a related story that I would like to share.什么伊朗的真正动机与本次会议是，只有他们才能回答，但这里是一个相关的故事，我想与大家分享。

“This story was aired on Sunday, Dec. 17 on CBS on 60 minutes about a long-secret German archive that houses a treasure “这个故事是在周日播出， 12月17日在哥伦比亚广播公司60分钟的一个长期的秘密档案德国房屋宝藏

So I decided to sell my old digital camera.所以，我决定出售我的旧数码相机。 After 5 days of excitement it was sold and shortly after the drama started.经过5天的兴奋这是销售和后不久开始的戏剧。 First I get an email from the winner asking me to be ship it to Nigeria despite the fact that I stated in my listing that I don’t ship outside of USA and UK.首先，我收到一封电子邮件从赢家问我是船到尼日利亚尽管事实是我在我的清单，我不船舶以外的美国和英国。 The fact that it was Nigeria was a red flag in my head immediately since I have seen many spoof emails from there.事实上，这是尼日利亚是一个红旗在我的脑海立即因为我已经看到许多欺诈性电子邮件从那里。 Also the user threatens with bad feedback which also was a red flag.用户还威胁不良反馈也亮起了红灯。 Here is the email:以下是电子邮件：

Shortly after I got an email, supposedly, from PayPal that the winner has deposited the money.不久我收到一个电子邮件，据称，来自贝宝说，赢家已存入的资金。 The sender email (highlighted in yellow) below was not from PayPal, so I proceeded to read the fine print and it says that I won’t get the money until I provide PayPal with a tracking number.发送电子邮件（以黄色标明）下面是不是从贝宝，所以我开始阅读的优秀印刷和它说，我不会花出去的钱，直到我与贝宝提供了一个跟踪号码。 Here is the spoof email:这是欺骗性电子邮件：

I reported it to Ebay and PayPal and they confirmed that this is not from them.我在报告中向eBay和PayPal ，他们确认这是不是来自他们。 We will see what the outcome will be.我们将看到的结局如何将。

With my parents being far away from where I leave (10 hour time difference), we keep in touch usually by using Skype or Google Talk.我的父母远离在我离开（ 10小时的时差） ，我们保持联系通常是通过使用Skype或谷歌对话。 While this works great as I have my laptop around me at least 8 hours a day (Tablet PC with built-in mic), there are shortcomings with that and the reason for that is that these calls, while great in sound quality means that my parents and myself have to be close to a computer (with a broadband connection).虽然这一伟大工程作为我有我的笔记本我周围至少有8个小时（平板电脑带有内置话筒） ，有缺点，以及原因是，这些要求，而巨大的声音质量的手段，我父母和我本人都必须关闭电脑（有宽带连接） 。 With that said, the whole Internet calling can be divided in three parts:随着中说，整个互联网电话可以分为三个部分：

PC to PC (Cost free) PC到PC （免费）
The giants here are在这里的巨人 Skype Skype公司 and和 Google Talk谷歌对话 in my opinion.在我看来。 MSN does not really come up to par in voice quality the few times I have tried.微软并没有真正达到标准的语音质量的几次我已尽力。

Phone to Phone aka Calling Cards (Not free) 电话到电话又称电话卡（不免费）

Many options here to choose from (including buying calling cards from gas stations etc).这里的许多选项可供选择（包括购买电话卡从加油站等） 。 One online option I have tried and I like is一个在线的选择我试图和我喜欢的是 Jajah.com . 。 Problem with JaJah is that you have to be around a PC to initiate the call (you give the number to the site, the site calls you then call the destination and connects the phone together). Jajah公司的问题是，你必须要在一台PC发起呼叫（你给的数目的网站，该网站要求你然后呼叫目的地，并连接在一起的电话） 。 One thing good that is good about JaJah is that you can schedule a call which eliminates the need to be around a pc to initiate the call though, but that does not really solve the problem here.有一件事好，这是一个好对Jajah公司就是你可以预约一次通话无需将达到一台PC发起的呼吁虽然，但并不真正解决这里的问题。 I am still looking for better and cheaper alternatives so feel free to drop a comment with tips.我还在寻找更好的和更便宜的替代品，以便随时辍学的意见与建议。

PC to Phone (Not free) PC到电话（不免费）

Skype Skype公司 is a well known option here.是一个众所周知的选择这里。 But another option that my dad will not stop praising is但另一种选择，我爸爸不会停止称赞是 internetcalls.com (both for it’s quality of voice and prices and it also works with SIP devices). （为它的语音通话质量和价格也与SIP协议的设备） 。 I have not tried it myself, but will take my dad’s word for it.我还没有尝试过自己，但将采取我父亲的话。
Are you using better options for any of these three categories?您使用的是更好的选择任何这三类？
