I am a Netflix subscriber in UK, yet I get less than half of the content that a US subscriber gets...
You are lucky to get half of US Content. Here in Mexico, Netlix started out almost a year ago and for a monthly fee of $100pesos (about $7.40 dollars) we only get old movies and tv series, all of them dubbed (nothing earlier than 2 years old).
But oh boy, we have the entire Televisa catalog for free! Thousands of telenovelas from the eighties and nineties! (Yuck)
My "lastname.com" has been taken up by cybersquatters for years, along with many other common latin american last names, they want me to pay for the priviledge of them giving me an email address. Fuck no.
mycompletename@gmail.com has been my address ever since I got my Gmail invitation. mycompletename@hotmail.com was my previous one.
But, isn't Windows piracy a big part of it's ubiquity? If cheap PC assemblers in the third world can't install a pirated Windows, they might install Zorin or some other windows-like Linux distro...
The safes at any hotel have a master password that allow a manager to open it up for you if you forget the code you set yourself. Sadly, in some hotels, this means that any one of the staff may have access to this password.

Are you looking for http://zorin-os.com/ maybe?
Yeah, but how would they buy another gold plated hummer, or a diamond studded swimming pool... those things don't grow on trees, you know?
Same here. My idea of fun was to make the computer print multiplication tables until it crashed
Let me guess, you code in Python now, do you?

There is a statute of limitations for spoiler alerts, you know?

I don't think Gaston Azcarraga hates Mexico any more than Mitt Romney hates the USA.
They just make decisions based strictly on their own bottom line, and the shareholders, the workers, and the customers can all go screw themselves.
Here's info on the relevant Mexican Law: http://www.chiefprivacyofficers.com/1/post/2010/07/the-united-states-of-mexicos-privacy-law.html
The Ubuntu forums and question/answer websites are quite good to newbies. People are nice there.
Haven't checked out the Debian community lately to compare, though.
Meanwhile, here in Mexico, the federal government of lame duck president Felipe Calderón, just signed ACTA, ignoring a Senate resolution to reject it.
You'd have to ask a gay person, but in this context, I interpret "Pride" as "not being ashamed".
Only in Mexico City, where gay marriage is already legal.
But Mexico City is a lonely island of liberality in an ocean of conservatism, as the recent elections have proven.
OH NO! That crazy lady and her weirdo kid were right! Google is Skynet! We are all doomed!!

GRRM has managed to humilliate both of them in awful ways in the last book.
I swear that GRRM just asks himself every time "How else can I make this character's life miserable, and piss off the fans?"

Considering that Larry Ellison is buying himself a frikking island, perhaps the slap in the face finally pushed him into super-villainy...

Please note that the article talks about _Public_ posts.
I post several times a day in G+, and so do a lot of people in my circles.
However, I hardly ever make public posts.
