  2. New Government? by RManning · · Score: 4, Funny · on WinMX Suspends Operations

    Vanatu seems like a really nice place to live. I found this on their government's news site:

    Vanuatu has a new Government. Please revisit this site next week

    Some information about Vanuatu, as well as its capital, Port Vila (misspelled in TFA) can be found here and here.

    As for why WinMX might want to relocate there, this link should shed a little light on the issue...

    I was wondering whether anyone else would catch that! The author meant to write "Vanuatian," not "Vaunatian." It's the adjective describing people (or companies, I suppose) from the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu. The Republic of Vanuatu (pop. 189,618) holds the distinction of having more spoken languages per capita than any other country. If you'd like to visit there, see its National Tourism Office.

    No because i can still go to downloads.com and get kazaa....

    Sharman Networks has an office in Estonia where the guy who designed the encryption inside the kazaa protocal and two other programmers live.

    This office is not actually a part of Sharman Networks but a contractor for a company in the Netherlands, this company sold the Kazaa software to, Sharman Networks who are based in a south pacific island called Vanatu

    Vanatu famous for being an offshore tax, sex slave trade and gambling haven. The Exectutives of Sharman Networks only work in Australia.

    To know its a fake.

    Why does this image have jpeg compression errors and why is it so fuzzy when its a gif?

    And what's the weird jpeg ringing noise around the spaceship in this gif image?

    Simple answer: I think they stole some promo screenshots and used MS-Paint with a bmp to gif convertor to fake their site.

    These guys might want to be careful, I hear the Vanuatuian government doesn't look kindly upon scammers.

    If anyone here speaks Bislama, can you tell me if there's a hidden meaning to the word Linar?
