Not the same. Technology is making every day Internet use cheaper and cheaper. So it's not hard to imagine a broad adoption in a few years there. It's absurd to think the same happening with match 2 jets any time soon. (even when I'd like t

Protecting the state owned company its just the excuse to protect the corrupt government from having the same destiny as the egyptian, gaddafi's and so on. Some state monopolies are essential to democracy, for example justice, military, law

I don't know the internals of the DOD, but I bet that it's not too much for the costs (that doesn't seem to be a big problem there), but the human resources being used in other priorities.

I don't think that money resolves everything (at least, normal sums of money, lol). If they are paying him the minimum, that means they don't value what he does. I guess that's the reason he has a lot of projects to handle... probably other

The biggest burger bubbles I've ever seen are in Mc Donnald's ads. But then... you see their thin burger patty's (at least here) and that bubble plops. Lol!

There are no "conspiracy theories", but a big economic war going on here between a few extremely wealthy groups, fighting to get the power. You just have to read the newspapers to see it happening. And those governments of a 100 years ago,

Yep, that's obvious. But as I wrote above, it's also true that the salaries are being adjusted accordingly. That's why is so incredibly hard to foreign people to see a 25% inflation rate and not say "This country is going to explode in a fe

Sorry, but this is just a plain lie. First of all, a disclaimer, cuz everything about Argentinean politics tend to get ugly fast: I'm not a fan of this government, but I just have to intervene here... I think there are A LOT of things that

Yes, It'd be painful for a time, but they'd recovery much faster. But of course, there's the scare of that becoming the fall of the Euro. And also, the other countries are not very happy to receive a lot of Spaniards. And with Spain letting

The thing is that the UBA (University of Buenos Aires) is public, so anyone can enter their buildings. That, and the fact of having a distracted crowd, makes it a tempting target to a pickpocket. It doesn't have to be a student. It could be

why are WP7 devs clamoring for native code anyways? It's because the .NET performance is terrible. Wrong. It's not because of .Net performance. They're asking for native support, mainly to make much easier to port games and other apps fro

And don't forget the upcoming windows 8. I think that they can recognize that Microsoft will finally offer something new. And maybe, the true rival for iOS and iPad format will come from Redmond, not from Mountain View.
