Yes there is a helluva of Argentinians that don't agree, that's because Argentina is a big country.
But the voices of people that reach other countries are from the upper classes. They should at least speak english, have internet access/be able to travel outside of the country, and give some shit on the international view of Argentina's economy.
This people are the same subset affected by the dollar restriction, so you get biased sample pool...
To give you an scale, this news looks to me like someone saying that Tea Party represents 30% of US.
And, at some level, I believe the same thing happens with international news regarding Venezuela.
Hi, Brilliant Anonymous Coward.
You are proposing your innovative idea 15 years too late.
We had that here in Argentina, it was called "Cupones de Trueque" (Barter cupons)... We used those when people were desperate (because they had no work, no pesos and nothing to eat)... It's something we don't want to go back to.
This is an example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...édito
Now people are "desperate" because they can't save their extra pesos at a rate they consider fair, It's a completely different situation, and really subjective because people freely buying dollars and taking them out of the country was what triggered (but no caused) our last crisis.
Argentina has other problems, currency is just an symptom.
1) There is no dollar outrun, there is a government that artificially keeps the dollar cheap for political / economic esoteric reasons. So it needs to prevent massive access to that cheap dollar market.
2) Most the population hardly reaches the end of month, so the "lack of dollars" issue directly affects less than 30% of it, because the rest don't even have pesos to exchange for dollars.
3) The real problem of the people is that we've no credit... No 20 years mortgages for buying a house, 6 years is the best you can get, and only in specially stable situations. So the little guy can't "invest" his little money in anything bigger than a car. That has the secondary effect that the little money you save, you need to spend it quick before the government eats it. That's good for the economy, good for the government, bad for the little guy.
All in all, this is a government that has "kept" unemployment rates low, sacrificing other economic variables. Yes, it's socialism, but that's better than what we had from previous governments.
And yes, this is a corrupt government, but that doesn't really make our country a special enough to be news for nerds.
Because Linux,
Linux kernel modules, when distributed as binary bulbs are tied to specific Linux version.
This originally wasn't a limitation as all drivers were open source, so you just needed to recompile the driver modules.
With closes source drivers that's not an option, there are work arounds as using an open sourced compatibility layer between your driver and the kernel (I believe that that's what NVIDIA does).
But on embedded devices that's not worth as those do not require to be upgradable or have planned obsolescence.
And these books have ridiculous fantasies about supernatural powers.
So you have never read the Qur'an, but you assume that all religions are the same.
According to historian Denis Gril, the Qur'an does not overtly describe Muhammad performing miracles. The supreme miracle of Muhammad is finally identified with the Qur'an itself.
Tom Bombadil was rightly cut as it served no practical purpose
Fine, I liked Tom Bombadil, but I can accept that he was cut off...
But Peter Jackson changed Tolkien's end from:
Frodo reaches the volcano edge -> Decides he wants the to keep The One -> Puts it on -> out of nowhere gollum bites his finger -> dances with the finger in his hand at the edge of the volcano -> Falls because he es dumb.
To:
Frodo reaches the volcano edge -> Decides he wants the to keep The One -> Has 7 minutes Hollywood fight -> Gollum predictable falls down
Cubans have monthly quotas in the internet cafes (via tickets I believe). Obviously those quotas are not enough.
We're talking about the general population. The academia, and some government jobs have higher quotas / unrestricted access.
Cuba's health and education stats are above average compared with the rest of LATAM and high when compared with the rest big Caribbean islands.
Cuba's health is not much worse than the US (yeah, that's a really low bar, but that's what most Slashdotters use as reference.) http://www.worldlifeexpectancy...
They can't set their own fee / arrangement. Only the Big Guys Conglomerate can negotiate.
las últimas declaraciones de Wert contradicen ese carácter de irrenunciabilidad, sin embargo los agregadores no pueden negociar con el medio directamente (lo haría AEDE) y sólo sirve para la cuantía, no para la exención.
Simple UI? what are you talking about?
Nethack uses almost all key combinations, lower case, uper case and ctrl+key.
And if you are playing Nethack without a keypad, you need to use vi style cursor movements. Not that I'm complaining, but not even vim forces you into sort of pain.
And don't make me start talking about Dwarf Fortress, were the game needs to be hacked to put some sense intro that micromanagement mess.
Heartbleed was caused by a FreeBSD bug,
Shellshock was caused by a GNU bash bug.
Both projects are independent of the Linux Kernel Project. That's the project managed by Linus.
So blaming Linus management for the lost confidence on open source security is, at least, unbased.

Wow, you portrait this in an amazingly clear way for somebody that doesn't look Argentinian on a first glance.

Because Google can't read your mind... yet... so it needs to guess multiple contexts.
Since spider-farming is historically unproductive,
Not if you're a dwarf living in a fortress that somehow managed to capture a giant cave spider.
I haven't seen the YY notation since 1999. I don't know the rest of the world.
It's not usually a driver issue, as that can be solved by using the same kernel version.
The real problem is signed / locked boot loaders.

Let's not equate drawing of cartoons and killing innocent babies (while in the womb).

Let's say you won't be happy if you're a dissident in Cuba.
You won't be happy either if you're a dissident int he US.

Something felt wrong about it. I looked and Yahoo was the only one that still seemed to be human.
Seriously? yahoo? The yahoo that appends text adds to the bottom of your emails? The one with the slow, counter intuitive purple UI ?
