    I think you're right for the most part, but China has been blocking google from their people, they ain't free. For the rest, I think USA has a tendancy to be too much protective of their businesses and that's what they are doing right now. But that's the philosophy of that country (We are the best, we want to be the best and we will do everything to be the best (see here, eliminating competition).

    fwiw, i'm canadian

    its called a rant for a reason.... but good to see that you can differentiate between angst and ignorance... LOL... newly found free time... mixed with bitterness... equals ranting on forums against those who caused it... does that make me dumb? hardly... i think it just means I'm a bit pissed off with the current situation i find myself in... but hey i guess u know it all so you should be fine without a job...

    They made an agreement with DOJ that would allow us to retrieve our funds... The sites still have to find a payment processor that is willing to write out all these checks to US citizens from what i have heard...and even once that happens it still cud take awhile cuz evryone and ther mother is trying to get ther $ out right now... so it will take time for sure...
