Totally agreed. It's not my intention to start a flame war here, but Argentinian wines are far superior to any Chilean wine you'll ever taste. One of the finest Chile has is El Gato Negro, and is nothing compared to even cheap Argentinian wines like Lopez or Norton clasico.
What supporting evidence do you care to offer us to help establish your credibility as a being or entity of Extraterrestrial Intelligence? Although it is not required at the start, any evidence to support your claim that you are a nonhuman or non terrestrial visitor, using the Internet, will greatly facilitate our further interaction.
Now, take the whole market of heavy equipment, not just cat, read the specs for all of them, and you'll surely find that at least 5% of those products don't match the promised specs.
You have to understand the strategy of the US government: Make sure the people do not trust the government, so they can get away with providing less services than any other government, while charging as much taxes.
The US charges as much taxes as your average country, but doesn't provide anything to the public. And even when the service is provided, they make sure people don't use it (like public schools), so they can downsize it as much as possible.
US citizens send their kids to private schools, private universities and use private hospitals, airlines, oil companies, electricity providers, etc, etc, etc.
This leaves a lot of free money for the government, so they can promptly spend it in more infrastructure to control the population (CIA, FBI, Police, Homeland security), and bombing more brown people in far away countries.
They truly believe that their policy of only using private services is better than socialized alternatives, and they've truly swallowed that whole communism-is-bad-and-anything-can-be-communist bullshit. So, basically the government says "If we helped you, this would be a communist state!", and get away that easily from providing any public services.
Now shut up, you gay-french-communist-terrorist-brown outsider.
I support Canada's comment. I am in America too. No,the isthmus/Canal of Panama do not count to divide the continent. America still goes from Canada to Tierra del Fuego.
Absolutely. Wine is definitely nothing like Whiskey or Beer. You can get a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label at mostly the same price anywhere in the world, and at any point in time, and it'll taste mostly the same. You can't say the same about wines, even when they have the same label.
I'm from Argentina. We produce some of the finest wines in the world, specially in Mendoza. t, Here, a cheap, average wine that most people drink at home with dinner retails at ~$9 (That is, 9 pesos, or 2.3 Dollars.)
A relatively good wine retails ~$20 (5.2 dollars). At $150 (39 dollars), you can get one of the finest wines you'll ever taste.
The funny thing is, while traveling to the USA, I've recognized bottles that Retail here for ~$35 (9 dollars), with tags of 250 dollars!
So, leaving that aside, yes, you can definitely tell the difference, but it's not all about money. You can definitely tell the difference between any two wines. But, with wine, price is not always = quality. I've tested $200 wines that I didn't like (like the Lamadrid Gran Reserva Malbec) , and $20 (5 dollars) wines that I loved (Like Benjamin Nieto Cabernet Sauvignon)
So, money plays a big role, but there's not a clear relationship between price and quality. It's more of a threshold... you won't find really good wines very cheap. But above a certain price, there are good and bad wines at a very ample price range
5% of wines? More like at least 5% of anything you can get.
Take any market, and you'll have, at the very least, 5% of fraudulent products. Off course, it's bigger in some other markets, but I'm pretty sure it's at least 5%.
This would be news if we got a way higher number. 5% sounds average to me. Or, at least it's average compared to other markets like religion, where 100% of the offered 'goods' are fake;)
The Article starts by stating that all Tablets suck. And that YOU won't buy one.
Then, it goes on to explain what Microsoft has to do to take a winning place in the Market.
It says "Microsoft needs to... " at least 10 times.
Implying the Market is dead and only microsoft can save it is obviously pro-m$.
You have to reed between the lines. Any article saying the market is dead, and then talking about m$ (who happens to be just about to release a tablet), is just trying to create hype.
Totally agreed. That article had m$ written all over the place. I loved how he jumped to the conclusion "microsft has to do this" after each reason of why the tablets suck.
The article, in fewer words "The iPad sucks, just like every other tablet, and only microsoft can save us from tablet-sucking. Oh! They are about to release a tablet, how convenient."

If you put him up as bait dressed in a catholic school skirt jumping on a pogo stick with no underwear [...] he would still probably graduate a virgin, and you would look like an asshole."

Every single one of you have gone into chatroulette to flash your dick, and engaged in a flame war with the retards that post on youtube, or spent hours looking at gross things at rotten.
This are the dark corners of the web. We all go there. Not all of us admit it.
All of this sites exist for a simple reason: Because they can. It's part of what we all are, and we have to eventually vent and let the daemons run loose.
So, don't be so critic of 4chan and accept it for what it is: A crappy board filled with self-righteous, ignorant, malicious and violent hypocrites. A quick hack that excretes nonstandard html code where lots of cruel and selfish uncaring monsters vent their frustration and anger. And we are those monsters.
Damn! haven't noticed that the Hacker Key wasn't available anymore. The project seems to be dead. Thanks for pointing that out. It was a sort of geek code 2.0, with a bigger focus on technology, programming and Unix.
The nose-bleeding incident made me remember Charlotte. So. Fucking. Hot.
Flashforward's already got Penny. If they somehow get Kate, Charlotte, Ana Lucia, and the rest of the hot stuff on Lost after May, we might have a winner!;)
No, No, No. Time will go forward, and we will remember it, but it'll only be for 137 seconds.
It'll all be the fault of a few charming British scientists. But, luckily, we'll put a drunk, a neurotic guy that will die in the near future, and a hot lesbian in charge of investigating this matter./Can't wait 'till March 28th//After Lost is gone in May, this'll keep me going///Off course, this was ABC's intention, obviously hiring Penny and Charlie.////Slashies

I actually didn't even test the one when I was there, but it was a good line to setup my cocaine joke ;)

The other reason wine is so cheap in Argentina/France/Spain is that we drink way too much red wine ;)
The only places in the world where I've seen people drinking red wine at a bar at 10 A.M are Buenos Aires, Madrid and Paris.
I've got to hand it to you people the finest Wine, Woman and Cheese are French.
Yup, I know. I've been to Peru. Beautiful country, and truly good wines.
But, to be honest, wine is not my favorite Peruvian export, if you know what I mean ;)
