I'm the grandson of Polish jews that came to Argentina. Everybody knows, I've heard that from my family a dozen times, that the Poles were mostly antisemitic, they happily joined the nazis and they even happily stole the property of the escaping jews. I've heard that some people coming here at the time burned their Polish papers because of that. And now this museum is focused in some chauvinist correction than in remembering the real horrors of the time.

Posts like these helps us, the rest of the world, be amused at US crazyness about guns. And, of course, the gun in this one is called "liberator".

I think it would be useful to also specify a header with thich the server (or proxy) can tell the user agent the scope of the block. Mainly so that the user can know it the block can be circunvented by using a proxy or not.

I've read the linked news. The 8000 convenience stores is a fake number. They say that somebody intended to partner with an existing paying network (for paying cell phone prepaid schemes). I assure you there are no 8000 stores here selling bitcoin. I bet there aren't 8000 people here knowing about bitcoin either. =)

I live in Argentina and I haven't heard of any of this. Neiher BitPagos, nor any of the other things mentioned above. Here in Argentina bitcoins are, like most enywhere else, a marginal things only some nerds know.

I know you are joking. But the real problem is that you would probably kill other kids as well, not just your own.

No. OpenStreetMap is more a data backend and its website is more oriented toward mappers than to regular users (although that is slowly changing). Routing services using OSM have been available for quite some time. OpenStreetMap is already ahead Google in many places where Google has broken and partial information.

I'm form Argentina and it saddens me that this post comments will fall among these categories:

• Peple saying "don't cry for me XXX".
• Argentines explaining that Argentina is the worst country, worse than the worst.
• Uninformed right-wing people talking about Cuba, communism.

Even the summary is wrong! That 35% is not a tax, just a pre-payment of the income tax that you can recover.

All hope is lost.

Yes, Cuba has a high value of that... It's off topic.. Take whatever index you want. The parent post is still BS.

I'm from Argentina and... Oh, god, please someone mod this BS message down!

Argentina has one of the highest Human Development Index values: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

It helped divert attention to privacy issues to a dead end for 5 years!

Just for reading the summary I can say this looks fishy. The latest Anroid release 4.4 was mainly dedicated to make Android run on smaller devices, adding tools to debug memory footprint, adding compresion of pages, sharing of things, etc. Google claims that now Android can run on a 512 MB device (which is fairly low end right now). And with ever decreasing memory prices is hard to imagine there's a place for a "lower than lower end" OS.

The "being open" reason is also not good enough. As a technology (i.e. removing Google services) Android is 100% free software. And the reason some telcos might want Firefox OS is to have a more closed environment which they can control.

Maybe Firefox could have been working to create its own Android fork, replacing Google service with Firefox services. That would be, IMO, much cooler.

My hobby is to read the conservative/libertatian viewpoints on issues like this one with a Homer-US-stereotypical voice.
