Well, in regards to Poland - you're wrong. Era (our t-mobile) sells the phones unlocked by default, same thing with Plus and the new Play network.

The only backwards network that doesn't do this is orange, but that's because it's owned by a frenchie monopolist.

The people who have rooted phones have this bug patched. However the version number is not what rogers expects.

Some factual errors there kiddo

Software

BZZTT! Wrong! Well, kinda wrong. If we're talking about commercial software, then you kinda have this one right - Apple for example. But Microsoft has its pony everywhere right now, especially in india (don't believe me? check out the last names in the 'about' box. How many of those are american?)

And then we have open-source, which again is all over the place.
Even games are made almost equally or less in the US than they used to be. MMO's are koreas pony. Ubisoft Montreal, DICE (Sweden).

Will skip this one, since i don't have the sufficient knowledge

BZZZT! Wrong again!
Sure, intel is US-based. But the best fabs they have is Jerusalem based as far as i know. AMD/ATi is fabless and uses TSMC. Pretty much anyone who isn't intel is using TSMC or something in the likes of those, because making or mainatining a fab in the US is too expensive. Check it out - pretty much all of the components of this computer are made in Asia (CPU - Malaysia, RAM - China, LCD - china, and so on..). The only US thing about is the "Design by Apple in California" text..

Hahahah! Maybe from the perspective from a US consumer, since you all drive hummers and SUVs there. And is GM even still making cars? Like, NORMAL cars? Right now Daewoo is making cars with Chevy brand. How low is that? The rest of the world enjoys the comfort, safety and economy of japanese (toyota, honda) and european (renault, volksvagen, audi..) cars.

If your country cannot even provide food for its own populace, its in for some deep shit. Take a look at some african nations right now for an example. This is NOT a saving grace of ANY kind.

Btw, this was not meant as a flame, but i guess it went the rant-way. Whatever, i got karma to burn, and some Americans here are overdue for their wake up.

Seems the developers of VMWare and Parallels are in disagreement with you.

So, the version i am running from Snow Leopard, that says "compatible with Windows 7" right there on the setup screen is actually NOT compatible with windows 7.

FTFA:

No one notified me of this! Ive been running it like that since I installed it!

Got me again! Next time i'll try it, i'll make sure to do it as unsafely as i can.

I'll stop using the hfs driver in boot camp right away (once i learn to disable it. Damn apple making stuff just work).

Seriously, anyone reading CNet for legitimate stories should have his head checked.

Then how come does it have GNU in the name? GNOME = Gnu Network Object Model Environment ?

However, i do feel that RMS is batshit insane, and that the GNOME ppl are doing the right thing.

There's one problem tho. After you get to faster speeds (above 25MB), even the wired packet switching in that baby can't handle the speed. Right now i have a 50MBit DOCSIS 3.0 connection from my ISP, yet when using my trusty 54gl as a router for the connection, when 3 clients try to use the network, they only get about 11-12mbits per client. ON WIRE. The g-generation hardware just wasnt built for these kinds of speeds.

Tthere is a n-generation router that in my eyes serves as the 54gl (which i still use successfully after patching it with an SD card and running openwrt on it), has beefier hardware, and dual-band radio. Linksys wrt-610nl. Faster CPU, gigabit on all ports, dual-band radios, compliant with the full n specification (not draft n), and usb. Oh, and it runs dd-wrt and openwrt (which i will flash on it right after i unpack it - i don't have any need for the stock firmware). The only thing thats wrong with it is the price, and that's to be expected.
