I own a software development firm. We ask people if they do twitter, facebook, myspace, and other social crap. If they say yes, we immediately tell them "thank you for your time, but I don't think we are interested".
Using facebut/titer/myjunk and other crap is absolute proof of an IQ below room temperature.
Ok Bro! Let me guess, you got caught across borders with some spicy cargo. The gov gets all worked up with that shit, and it shouldn't even be a crime.
Anyway, Good luck with it. Remember you always have a choice: You can just come here, and try it out. Nobody is going to bother you. If you can legally get out of your country, you can legally get in here. Getting citizenship will be another deal, but nobody will stop you from getting into the country, or going out. Once in here, pay your taxes, and request citizenship. Once you are inside, it's easier. Also, given the current political instability in Colombia, you might just ask for asylum. That overrides the usual procedure.
Let me tell you something, Argentina is far away from being heaven (Specially since Heaven doesn't existe:D ). We have a lot of problems, the same corrupt governments we've always had, and a lot of things to fix as a country. But, regardless of all that, Argentina is a beautiful land, with great potential. We just have to start doing certain things better:).
Regarding immigrating here, the constitution says "Para nosotros, nuestra posteridad, y para todos los hombres del mundo que quieran habitar el suelo Argentino"
And, from our immigration law:
DE LOS DERECHOS Y LIBERTADES DE LOS EXTRANJEROS
ARTICULO 4 - El derecho a la migración es esencial e inalienable de la persona y la República Argentina lo garantiza sobre la base de los principios de igualdad y universalidad.
I agree with that. Actually, there are many screwed up views on the US about many subjects. Argentina is far from being a paradise. We are a mess in many areas, but we are much more free. I have many friends from the states (Being a coder, you just make friends in all parts of the word), and I hear many talk about the land of the free. Freedom in the US is a scarce value. We are a lot more free down here. You can use drugs without the cops bothering you, People are not suing each other all the time, and you can actually live without a credit card, a bank account, and financial records. You can live in cash, without being chased, and just say 'fuck the government, I want my own little Anarchy". If you leave everyone alone, and don't expect anything from the government, they have no way of bothering you. That's the way I choose. I stay out of their way, and they stay out of mine. Sure, if you are into the game, they will fuck you up. But if you decide to play alone, you stand a chance.
About your questions, the weather is very nice, the place is beautiful (sort of European-looking, but with virtually unlimited natural resources, less people, lots of cheap land, and the best food in the world). About internet access, I'm paying 33 Dollars for unlimited 3G access anywhere in the country [coverage is pretty good, i have signal everywhere, even outside the cities], and 42 Dollars for a 4MB Cablemodem, that works pretty well.
I don't use ANY proprietary software at my company. I own a software development company in Argentina. If I get an auditor (Auditions here are done by ARBA, the state-wide equivalent of the IRS in Buenos Aires) I just won't even open the door. Sue me if you want. I use NO privative software, and no one has any right to log in into my servers or workstations (We have ~40 machines at our offices).
Why not just make sure you DONT run windows? Being infected with windows, like falling for the various scams spread by microsoft, depends on a high level of stupidity and/or incompetence and i have very little sympathy for such people.
Oh Rly? You can undone RSA4096 with just physical possession?
Look, the ISP is not going to bother trying to break encryption on his machine, and it's not going to bother removing all of those protection layers. And if they do, he can find out and sue the hell out of them. This is not about the CIA trying to get his data, it is about some stupid BOFH that insists on logging into his server. What I proposed is more than enough prevention.
What part of password protect the bios, put warranty stickers on the case, disable booting from other media, hotglue the internal battery and clear cmos jumpers and use ENCRYPTED partitions you didn't understand?
First, if you don't have physical access to the server, you always password-protect grub, encrypt important directories, and have an access card + watchdog connected. With the passprotected GRUB they won't be able to just pass init=/bin/bash or similar to bypass your login. The encrypted directories will keep your data safe in case the worst happens and someone boots your machine through a USB/CD/etc. If you provided your own hardware for this, or can access the server locally at any time, go there and do this:
- Disable booting from devices other than your main drive, disable legacy usb support, only enable the SATA/SCSI/IDE port you are using.
- Password protect the BIOS
- Use a glue gun to cover the Motherboard's internal battery and the Jumpers to clear CMOS ( So they can't just erase that and access your bios again )
- Put some warranty-style stickers so you know if someone opens your case. Your access card and watchdog will let you do everything you need yourself. Finally, get an collocation provider that doesn't suck.
Also, post that ISP's name so we never do business with them.
Implying that the US only destroys other countries by military means, and that their economic domination, shady business practices, and mandatory export of 'culture' don't do any harm. Also implying that all the tin-pot dictators around the world in countries with oil and other natural resources are not puppets of the US government, and that the CIA jackals didn't help said dictators to reach power.
Nobody uses sox? But I'm an Asterisk sysadmin, you insensitive clod!
And, besides my job, I find myself using ffmpeg and sox all the time.
And, what you are saying about the little app that could is totally wrong. First, it's not a GNU/Linux concept, it's a Unix concept, and part of it's design.
If you think there are no apps like that being used today, well, less, cut, awk, find, grep and friends would like a word with you. Sure, users don't use them, but the Unix toolchain is still the way we do things around here.

IANAL, YMMV.
Good luck, my friend.
Implying genetics are everything, and education and social environment, and the stereotypes for male/female we eat everyday have no influences.
You understand your wife? Are you positive she is a human female?
Yes it can, but teletransporters are expensive, and monopolized. You can only buy them from the Federation.
Agreed about the ladies ;)

As you can see, this is no the United States. Racism is not an issue here, and everyone is welcome.
Argentina provides free health care and education of all degrees to any human being in our country, regardless of citizenship.
The only reason while you might be denied citizenship, is if you have ... "unfinished business" with the law in your country of origin.
So, if that's not the case, then welcome to Argentina ;).
Best in the world, my friend ;)
I use an abacus, pencil and paper.

Fuck them in the ass.
I didn't listen to any of their albums. It's not Metal, why would I ever want to listen to it? ;)
It all depends. If you are an ENT specialist, the hearing dysfunctions that hearing to U2 can cause can be very interesting.
4 octets should be enough for everyone.
The problem is that U2's music is being pirated a lot. With every GNU/Linux distribution you download, you are also downloading all of U2's MP3s.
To listen to them, just do cat /proc/kcore > /dev/dsp. The sound it makes is virtually identical to bono's inconsolable screaming.
I'm sure he can sue us all and demand we pay $ 699 for each GNU/Linux install. Do we have a new SCO in town?
Why not just make sure you DONT run windows?

More like Damn God!
BTW: Fuck the virgin mary in the ass and cum in her mouth, while jerking off on top of a cross.
OMG PONIES!

First, it was a wild fox, quick and smart.
After a few years, it became playful, domesticated, slow, stupid, and unstable. I'm on Chrome now. ;)
That's all you need.

Best. Comment. Ever.
