Anyone can use google.com/ncr (NCR stands for “no country redirect”) to see the original page without geographical redirection.
Unfortunately this is not totally correct. I live in Australia and if I have my cookies cleared (in firefox) and I type in www.yahoo.com/ncr I get redirected to an error page then finally to http://au.yahoo.com/?p=us. So currently I'm using http://72.30.2.43/. The website tv.com used to be easy then they implemented regional redirection. Suffice to say I was mildly pissed off.
I want to go where I want to go, when I want to and no I do not want you to tell me what I should and should not do. So I got around that by using http://us.tv.com./ After reading this particular article I tried http://us.tv.com/ and it did not work. I even used there American IP adddress but no luck there so I just used Tor, stuff them. As John Gilmore said, "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."
What Blogspot, Yahoo and TV.com have done and others is censorship at its worse and greed a close second if not a tie with censorship. Because, to impose any form of censorship a government must have the ability to monitor and therefore restrict communication. Therefore local laws are what are influencing these companies so they can continue to operate in those countries.

At least one of the above is open source. As for replacements for Microsoft Office and its ribbon interface, Google is your friend if you want to find proprietary or free version and if you are really lazy then I will list two open source alternatives for Office suites.
For the record I use Microsoft Office, because where I teach that is the default software, however, I install open office and now libre office on my family's and friends computers. You should see there eyes when I tell them its free.
For the record I use opens source software and operating systems and if something gets up my nose like the current Gnome 3 issue then I just change.
Kind regards

This is not surprising because in mathematics there is a law called Benford’s law after one of its main founders, Frank Benford, who discovered it in 1935 as a physicist at General Electric. The law tells how often each number (from 1 to 9) appears as the first significant digit in a very diverse range of data sets.
So in other words there is nothing unusual about this because the four digit pin number is just a another data set. This law tends to be more accurate when values are distributed across multiple orders of magnitude. Because the 4 digit pin number spans several orders of magnitude, the 4 digit pin number is therefore following Benford's law.

There are other programs and if you do not want others knowing what "traffic" you carry then you would be wise to use them.
I want to see research papers that have been conducted using Double Blind Studies, why? Because of the constant, he said, she said, they said, we said. In addition to statements like, you are being paid by, an individual, corporation or even government body so you must be beholding to your masters, so therefore you must be corrupt or biased.
Until Double Blinded Studies are carried I will remain highly skeptical of any article or even peer reviewed articles. One last point, did I mention that this is just an outline of what can and probably will be done (rebuttal, critique or constructive criticism) of the real submitted paper when it does appear.
