NBC news just announced that thanks to Change.org (WOOT!!!) Donald Trump is fired from Celebrity Apprentice. We are very proud of these little victories.
Grr, I damn well hate the auto sensing country code that websites use. Can you all get with the program and do more than just look at my f'n IP address?
My PC regional settings are US. My current IP is in Japan. So all my default sites are now Japan. I do not want this. For a 2 week location, changing this stuff is a pain in the ass.
Examples:
google.com

Google is slipping... shouldn't that say "I'm feeling rucky"?

Just had to explain how num-lock works to someone...

In a sense - the HP is actually running. While two drives did fail,.. the MOBO replacement took and it fired right up.

That IP sensing stuff is terrible. My Mac will randomly change time zones, GOG charges me in Krone, sites aren't available in English, search data is wrong.... it's amazing how much it screws everything up.

This is why I like having a desktop in my home locale that I can remote into when ineeed to search for stuff.

You can use a service like Hola now too.

I generally don't like using a service I can't control... I'll make an exception for some things, though... ie: Gmail, that type of stuff... I do, however, have the skillset to run my own email server (just for myself) and have considered doing so (again) on several occasions.
Seems like I remmeber reading somewhere just this morning (maybe it was over on SW that Holasoft pretty much turns your computer in toa Tor Exit node... I'll see if I can find it again.
