    You're talking about the same government whose politicians during the national election thought a mere DNS-based filter could stop the problem of child pornography on the net.

  9. Meh on Making Ubuntu Look Like Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    I'd much rather have a theme which gives Ubuntu the look&feel of BeOS (the ones over at gnome-look.org are too superficial).

  16. Re:So what? on Argentine Government Orders Major ISP To Close · · Score: 1

    There are many choices of broadband internet over here, so I basically don't give a sh*t.
