    doesnt matter what you 'click on'. still, some certain identifiable data is going to be sent from your remote pc, to the server that is going to do the authentication. or, even if its on your local pc, to whatever is going to authenticate you in local pc.

    its no different than anything else. if anything, it makes dictionary type attacks much easier. the number of possible coordinates that can happen on a world map are much much lower than the possibility of combinations of alphanumberic passwords with special characters.

    holy cow. all you have done has been producing excuses.

    you have said that america was the 'best', or, at least 'next best' country to live on earth.

    it turned out there are THIRTEEN countries topping america, and almost all of them are the countries you have said to have 'tradeoffs'. doesnt matter whether they are smaller in population, or larger. you cannot go changing the criteria if it doesnt fit your argument. united nations considers those nations at the top, and that's that.

    thirteenth place is not 'the next best', first being 'canada'. thats american morondom to believe that. its your own self-produced propaganda. moreover, you dont know shit about the situations of ethnic minorities in those 13 countries you speak of. had you know, you would be crying how you were being treated in us as a us citizen.

    Furthermore, European nations have done and still do the same things if it suits them: massive weapons shipments, deals with undemocratic regimes, and holding on to colonies until near bankruptcy.

    there are 2 european nations which employed puppet dictators in the last 60 years. you dont know shit about history, dont make up. in the thirteen counted there, there is only one of them.

    about american peoples's interests; fuck them. if you take creating secret organizations to assassinate, kill, remove political opponents, install puppet dictators, kill industries, bribe people 'democratization', fuck you too. read the below about 'democratization' and 'defense'.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio

    So what? You whine and complain as if America owes you anything. If you're not willing to do what it takes to defend yourself, don't complain when the people that do attach strings.

    excuse me, i didnt know i was discussing with an 12 year old brainwashed moron that has the word 'whine' to use in serious discussions in his vocabulary. that would be my mistake.

    yes, america owes A LOT of countries a lot of things. enslaving people directly and enslaving people indirectly through usage of a 'democratic' storefront behind which organizations like Gladio go rampant, along with installing puppet dictators, and then profiting for 50 years over that and then shamelessly coming up and talking about 'american people's interests', and 'defense' and 'democratization' ....

    this is why the world hates america. and they are right. with your self centered bigotry, you have just added to that animosity. thankfully, america is basically a bankrupt chinese puppet now, with 2 other superpowers to offset its military dicta.

    i wont be replying to a bigoted moron like you any longer. if you want to be taken seriously, drop that shitty ignorant nationalism and your right wing bigotry, and talk like an enlightened person. 'good day'.

    the 'handful' you speak of constitutes at least 5 countries in entire europe. even if the situation declines from there, it is not as horrible as usa.

    and, us got that trillions which it used for 'defending' europe from ussr by exploiting and monopolizing everything in the countries it was 'defending' during the cold war. through pressure, it killed local industries and exported american goods. from aircraft to cars. my country has only recently been able to establish an auto industry, for example, because it was being used as a colony for american industry, through military (thanks, soviet threat) and political pressure. and even gladio.

    not to mention 12+ puppet dictators america installed around the world in 3rd world countries, who have committed worst crimes against humanity in the last 60 years.

    Microsoft did this before with bCentral ecommerce platform. they suddenly come up and said that you had 1 month to migrate your store to someplace else, and that they would be closing your bCentral hosted store on you in a month. imagine the plight of countless small shop owners who were in shock. hobby kind of shop owners who maintained a shop for kicks or small money probably wasnt as high as other services, because bcentral was older, and because it was 'microsoft', a lot of serious business owners trusted microsoft with their online store. imagine. you are in tool business, you have 2000+ products online at all times, thousands of orders going way back, and you learn that the proprietary platform you are using is closing down on your face, because some execs decided that it wasnt worth it. so much for reliability of a 'big company'.

    microsoft made a deal with a medium scale hosting place to have the users migrated into their platform if they wished, or so they say. however, that company didnt know much about the platform they were migrating users to (oscommerce), and had screwed up a noticeable number of migrations i reckon.

    i ended up saving a client and migrating his entire bcentral store into oscommerce which was set up on his (brand new) own server, and got the sizeable store online and running in a straight 11 hour run. he was lucky, because he found me through chance, as he says. he said there were a lot of his colleagues in deep shit. i know that some of them didnt make transition on time or properly, having problems even after a year, after having long downtime.

    that incident, this one now, numerous other incidents regarding frameworks, business partnerships, platforms etc, i cant believe how there are people who STILL trust microsoft with anything.
