For us in Chile... Canadians come from Canada and "North Americans" come from USA.
I guess it's all about distortions in the use of language...
Also, something I also find amusing, every blonde-non-spanish-speaking foreigner is referred as "gringo" doesn't matter if he comes from USA, Germany or whatever.
Living in todays number one H1N1 country (Chile - 2000+ cases... and stopped counting)... I must say that it kills less that the common cold (the very few deaths had always had a previous illness condition, pneumonia, depressed inmunne system, etc. , just bad luck it was H1N1 that finally made the kill.)
The official word here is that the reason Chile and Australia have both such high numbers is just because we have REAL GOOD med system, and we are able to detect and treat H1N1. Other countries in the region may have far more cases that are simply not being detected.
It's just a high fever cold (influenza), that will keep you in bed for a week.
There's nothing like being cut off just when you needed a little extra 10 seconds punch passing on a two way road.... just to have a little comfort when going head to head with an incoming truck.
I think it was a great movie, and I look forward to more movies and TV shows that explore this alternate timeline...
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Portos.:-)
I really liked the movie... imo it sends two important messages:
- to writters: relax and write anything you like, don't worry about keeping continuity and consistency, don't worry about past facts, focus on story and plots.
- to fans: we have a whole new and unexplored Star Trek Territory to explore... "these are the voyages..."
It officially opened here in Chile a day before than in USA (yes, movies premiere here on thursdays), a really first for a Star Trek movie.

Whooosh????
Yes there is.
And, for practical purposes it is often divided into three:
North, Central, and South America.
Your line of though would be that there's no California, only South and Northern California.
Everyone just accepts the fact that people from USA call their country "America", and they are referred to as "americans" or even "north americans".
mmmm... Using Chrome, that corner lets me resize the text entry box.
Off-topic, I know.... just trying to help.
China?
Just elect the Chinese version of Barack Obama, and your problems will be solved.
I'm not sure to laugh or cry
I didn't see it coming.
Keep that shit music to yourself. Phones should sound like phones.
Unless... someone holds a copyright for the actual "ring".
Linux is not ready for downloaders' hearts and minds...
Oh... wait!
Sorry! I was just getting used to it
mmm... in the US should be called "Space: 2009". Damn!... I hate these stupid translations.
Like the new movie "Push"... in Latin America is called "Heroes"... just like the TV show, and to be more confusing, the story plots are very similar.
Cosmos 2009?...
Other big downside: the stones that get caught between truck dual tires. They tend to get loose in perfect timing to crash your windshield.
Yes... but... we are just a 16 million people country.
We are number one (nothing to be proud of) in cases as a % of population

I'm really getting tired of this...
/. is all about free speech, and no post is deleted... but come on, isn't there a way for at least mod this posts -1 offtopic by default?
I know that
Actually is common practice in many airports to shoot blanks, to scare birds away.
Robots were build by men...
... and they have a plan.
That's because your mind is still constrained by our 2D universe.
I smell a first post.
Sorry.
That's how they finally caught Al Capone.
And send him to Jail.

Can Quinto work in two series at the same time?
After watching the movie, I must say I rally liked it, and liked the concept of reboot and how it was done.
btw, I have the working title for the next one: "Star Trek II: The wrath of Portos"
