I wasn't able to enter my real nor my general location at all.
I started with the small town that's closest to me, I went up to the island where this town is (and it's not a very small island) and I ended up desperately trying "Greece" as a location  - no success.

Like most every other service in the net this thing is way too US biased.

U.S. mulls new digital signature standard

GAITHERSBURG, Md.--A team of Chinese scientists shocked the data security world this year by announcing a flaw in a widely used technique used to create and verify digital signatures in e-mail and on the Web.

Now the U.S. government is trying to figure out what to do about it.

The decade-old algorithm, called the Secure Hashing Algorithm, or SHA-1, is an official federal standard and is embedded in every modern Web browser and operating system. Any change will be expensive and time-consuming--and a poor choice by the government would mean that the successor standard may not survive another 10 years.

"We're going to have to make a decision fairly soon about where to push people," said John Kelsey of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which convened a workshop here on the topic Monday. Even though NIST is only technically responsible for government standards-setting, Kelsey noted, "we're likely to get a lot of other people to head in that direction as well."

I will not do this without permission from the people who donated for the milliondollarhomepage thing. Just so you know. If you don't like that the money might be spent on anything else than 30x30 pixels on that website, just let me know and I'll transfer the money back to you.

Personally I don't care. I donated my money to PunBB, so you decide what's best for you.

I find, that the user can edit his post even after reply has been given to his post / message. I think, that despite the default edit time available to the user, as soon as someone replies to his topic or post, the edit for the previous user should become disabled.

thanks

Well, I guess that's why quote should be used. They can change their post, but they can't change yours.

You guys keep insisting that our systems of measure are "non-trivial" to "figure out" and that's only because we're "Americans" and "used to it".  Does the reverse not apply?  Someone says to me "its 100 meters away", I have no idea how far that is.  Put yourself in our shoes, try switching everything you do to pounds, feet, inches, etc. for a week and let us know how it goes.  Now multiply that by 300 million.  Then consider the cost and ask yourself why we haven't made the switch.

Very easy. Trust me! I moved from Europe to the States, I used to live there for 6 years (Fort Lauderdale and Chicago) and then I moved again to Canada. So I went from Metric System to Imperial System and back to Metric System with some mixture of Imperial System! (Canada measures in Kgs as well as Lbs, Oz, Pints etc.)

What's tragedy?

President Bush was visiting a primary school and he dropped in on one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy".

So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a "tragedy".

One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him that would be a tragedy".

"No said Bush, " that would be an accident".

A little girl raised her hand: "if a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy".

"I'm afraid not," explained the president. "that's what we would call a great loss."

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Bush searched the room.

"Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a "tragedy"?

Finally at the back of the room a small boy raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: "If Air Force One carrying you and Mrs bush was struck by a "friendly fire" missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy".

"Fantastic!" cried Bush. "That's right! And can you you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"

"Well," says the boy, "It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a f....king accident either".
