So when exactly is Netflix going to be available in Europe? I have a couple of devices which are Netflix-capable (PC, LG BD390, now the Wii), yet despite all the technological advances we are still limited by the same geographical restricted licensing models. We had DVD region encoding, but nowadays most DVD players can be made region-free. We are switching to online content, which is great, but this also means that they know where you are and decide what you are or not allowed to view - or not. Free market my ass.

Why didn't I think of that?! Let me register for Netflix.... oh wait, only available in USA. No, I don't want to buy the DVD or Bluray, not at these prices - and how come all these newly released discs cost the same, don't most countries have laws against price fixing?

I live in Romania and the wather has gone bad here too. And I'm not talking about "oh, I didn't get my perfect tan" changes. I'm talking about floodings on a massive scale. I'm talking about thousands of people loosing EVERYTHING they have: houses, animals, crops. I'm talking about people dying. I'm talking about parents desperatly looking for their children for days, only to find them dead - if they find their bodies at all.

Definetly gives you an entirely new view on the global warming, because now it hits very close to home. It's not just another story in the evening news, it's something that affects you and the ones close to you.

So now when I read about this in Siberia, my first thought was: "Great! So in following years even more people will die or loose their houses..."

I'm getting married this year. And I find myself alarmingly often asking myself if I really want to raise a child in this world...
