That's ironic

Trick or treat not popular in Spain, besides,

1) I live in a rural area - people rarely see this area
2) We have three German Shepherds. Assuming you can find 1) Someone coming to this area, and 2) Someone Spanish doing 'trick or treat', I think they would do nothing to my house :-)

I would have thought Facebook was in the same situation as Slashdot

Lacking mod points, but a great reply!

"WinMetro" kind of reminds me of Active Desktop... Cool idea, not so good in usage...

Or we came out here as we could not afford family-sized city-based accommodation...

Not in my case, but for many, rural is the cheapest way to live...

I'm 4,000 miles from a 120V socket... Just saying ;-)

I'm not saying the technology is worthless. I'm saying I live in a rural area (40 mins to closest large town, 20 mins or more to a motorway). I get a maximum of 2MB/s 'broadband', but my ping is reasonable (twice most others, but still reasonable). I'd prefer this to 10MB/s download speed and double the latency...

Not everyone is a gamer, but in my original comment, I simply stated that for Gaming (COD, L4D etc) latency is more important than download speed. And it is.

I meant for MP games, not little flash games. I would not call that Gaming as such, more than Word-search is gaming...

Download speed is nice, but for gaming, latency is God...

I think you assume Greece == Europe

"Umm internet access isn't a human right."

It is in Europe

Sorry - seen you around a while; are you on the "Ant Farm and Myrmecology Forum"?

Not too many AntDude's around so taking a stab in the dark ;-)

Could mod. Replying. God you are so bang on. Put you as my FB status - hope that's OK....

Shit. I honestly did not see that coming, despite all we knew... Like Michael Jackson of the software world :-(
