> it is a data center, not, you know, a single server
The "server" is certainly a typo, as you should have guessed. Certain people like me have coherence problems expressing their thoughts and cannot live without an edit button.

> "Latin America" designation was chosen because its more significant
The whole issue is debatable, my personal opinion is that the main reason Google wants to have servers in South America is to improve the latency for people living there and take some load off international cables. Both of these goals cannot be achieved from Mexico or other Latin American countries not physically located in South America.

The headline sounds as if Google was interested in the national language of the country rather than the geographical location, IT infrastracture, maintenance cost and other country (but not language!) dependent factors. One would think that Guyana or Suriname were also out of question because of this. Why not call it the first South American server instead since it is located, you know, in South America?

It was nearly perfect, my favourite feature was the abillity to grab the border of a full-screen window and _slightly_ resize it. I simply do not understand why all other WMs i've seen treat a full-screen window differently compared to non-full screen windows _happening_ to cover the entire screen. Oh, and the on-top and on-all-desktops buttons! No idea if KDE4 has these features as well since it's too much of a hog for my "relic" 5 year old hardware.

With every news flash about yet another cyber attack on their nuclear facilities I wonder why they are plugged to the Internet in the first place. They are few, they are located nearby, and their research is of the highest priority for Iran. Is it so costy for them to create a single-purpose government-maintained isolated local network that would solve all their problems?

Naturally, all blame should go to piracy and insufficient copy protection.

One of the two hackers' names the author "uncovers" is Vasily Ivanovich Petrov which is basically one of many possible variations of John Doe in Russian. While there is a possibility for someone to be named this way (in fact, Wikipedia has an article on one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Ivanovich_Petrov), it seems highly doubtful that is the person's real name.

Provided Google has a worldwide VPN, which it almost certainly does, the data packets could originate from its Kenyan or Indian branch, go through VPN to Google CA, leave their private network there and come back to Kenya.

In Russian "hamster" is an internet slang word for a "mindless, unwary and predictable consumer of popular novelty items", a "lemming". Definitely not the kind of name people would trust (as long they know what it means)!
