Yes, I will take the locked phones instead of your high level of Aids, Malaria, and high unemployment. And of course the trafficking in Child labor. Yes you can stay in paradise.
What is really funny, textfiles has two textfiles I wrote in 1985 when I was 15. One about making explosives from house hould items. And the other about a homicidal, gay geometry serial killer who killed his victims and left geometric proofs on their bodies.
Some things should be left buried.
Try writing in one language while peaking in another. English is my first language, but Spanish is heavily phonetic, so there is crossover if I am using both simultaneously. I was gabbing with a coworker while writing the post.
I am not insecure, I just found California not as liberal as people claim it to be.
No it would be "Zebra". See Zebra is exponentially more correct because George Jefferson, a black man, called his son's mixed race wife that all the time.
Conversley here in South America, everyone claims to be be of pure European descent(I guess they have been fucking their cousins for the last three hundred years to keep the race pure.
So the one drop rule here means if you have one drop of European blood, you have to be white.
I am a Colombian Cajun mix(cajun side being Sicilian settlers in Thibodaux) and before I excepted my present employment here in Colombia I was offered a relative high paying job in the Bay Area, but turned it down.
I kept being accused of being a southerner when I spoke English and when I spoke spanish it was "you speak great english for a Mexican". I found everyone on the West Coast assumed every Latino was a Mexican.
Latin America has an entirely different set of ethics due to the Catholic church as opposed to the protestant one a forgiving god versus a hard ass god. Protestant work ethic and all that. Plus when you see the huge difference in salaries from world countries and the the huge gap between the have and the have nots.
Your statement "I don't care much" is a typical atitude which is holding Latin America back. Civic pride only extends to flag waving.
South American countries have some pretty draconian copyright laws but like everything, nothing is really enforced so no one really gives a shit. Copyright, traffic laws, etc. Latinos are a warm friendly bunch, but are entirely ego centric in many ways. I am allowed to say this because I live in Colombia, and I am Colombian. I also work in Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Brasil, and Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Chile and other than the food(and physical traits of the locals) being different they are all pretty much the same.
I can literally walk down the street and get a copy of any game, software, for PC or any console from some guy on the corner.
1. Things are expensive because merchants buy them in the bargain bin in the states, then triple the price because they are "imported".
2. People simply cannot afford them.
3. Even if people can afford them there is something in the latin culture that drives them to "get over", not do the right thing.
Nintendo offers replacement discs for the Wii Sport for 15 dollars. Which isn't bad. And I doubt the disc broke by itself, so you hold some responsibility in the matter.
You are obviously educated and probably from a monied family, due to the quality of your English. i doubt 15 bucks would break the bank.
I have yet to hear anyone busted over a single copied desk. Hell, I flew back to Colombia last year from the States with 2 terabytes of video and music on a couple of hard drives, and no one questioned me.
I do not understand why you would drag your Wii from South America to the US, seems like a huge pain in the ass. I travel with laptop and a carry on because of work but a gaming console?
Really?
I Have an e63 and browsing is fine, and if you dont like the nokia browser, you can install Mini Opera. I have never had a problem with the OVI store. The phone locks and unlocks fine.
A great feature rich phone for a low prce.
Wrong on both counts.
ATT and TMobile are carriers that use GSM in the states. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA. ATT has 93 million subscribers Tmobile has 30 million, and then you can probably lump lump in another 10-20 million of Trac-fone users. I would put around 60% of the market GSM in the states.
The reason Nokia lost it's US market share, is because NOKIA refused to play the carrier's game(letting the carriers design and saying what features are allowed on the phones). It also was late to the market with flip and feature rich phones.
I would also suggest you look at a US GSM coverage map.
I agree. I bought an E-63 a few months ago for all of the reasons you listed.
I live in Colombia and when I moved here I came with a Samsung Blackjack that was showing its age after four years. I wanted a new smartphone but I needed the ability to find chargers and batteries all through out Latin America. And to just work.
Nokia was the only choice.
And I have to travel all over latin america, everyone here has a candy bar nokia.
Actually,
I think it as around 2003 when 10.3 had support for reading NTFS partitions. 7 years, and on the mac is it still done through a driver/plugin. So seven years does not relate to over a decade.
The war on drugs is still going on. I am half Colombian and I want every reference to Colombia removed from Scar Face, Mami Vice, the Wire, and any type of media that talks a bout Cocaine. I want them to be replaced by Juan Valdez and his trusty mule, Conchita. Or Sofia Vergara topless.
I forget which sci fi author it was, but there is a book where one of the main characters is hired to analyze code of a failing satelite. And he says "Perhaps the cleanest most boring software he had ever seen, virtually bug free, and what bugs there were had 3000 pages of documentation."
And where have you seen this? Because laws aren't excactly interchangeable between countries.
I sure wish I could commit some heinous crime in the states, and serve my time here in Colombia, where I get hookers, blow, cable tv, and just about anything I want.
Deported people end up serving sentences for crimes they were guilty and convicvted of in their own countries when they are returned to them.
I very cleary remember maintaining about 25 NT servers and do not recall having many problems with them.
Of course I bought HP servers certified to run NT, so I never had an issue with drivers. This was 1997-1999.
I use a Nokia E63 and I use VOIP on an almost daily basis.
I keep an 8 gig memory card in it and on the odd occasion when I am leaving the office and not dragging around a laptop, I will tend to put creatives from current campaigns on the phone just in case one of the traffickers "misplaced" their copies. I can upload them from my phone.
i have an epson laser printer that was bought in 1993. it was used until 2000 and has been stored in my mothers carriage house and forgotten about.
I flew in from South America recently to visit my mother and found it. On a lark i connectd it to my windos 7 64 bit thinkpad and it worked flawlessly.
Of course it was built like a sherman tank and weighs as much.

Sorry, but Motorola and USR started the ball rolling with the winmodem, Microsoft had nothing to do with it.
I have been able to see all seasons for around three years in Colombia, which is not in the US.

Nokia produces tons of phones in china, they have a huge operation there.

I recently bought an E-63 and it will sync with Evo. Great little phone, and I do not have to diddle with it. It just works.

Actually in spanish they are called Portatiles. Which means portable.
You mean you recall NT. 4.0 running natively on Power PC architecture, not natively on macs, but on machines made by Motorola and IBM.
The war on drugs is still going on. I am half Colombian and I want every reference to Colombia removed from Scar Face, Mami Vice, the Wire, and any type of media that talks a bout Cocaine. I want them to be replaced by Juan Valdez and his trusty mule, Conchita. Or Sofia Vergara topless.
he just pulled that post out of his ass.

Works fine on my Thinkpad on Win 7 64 with the new plugin.

I could hold one and easily slit a throat.
