This is somehow humiliating, yet I kid you not I often feel we deserve it. I don’t want to sound as extreme as Ghandi, but it if there is anything we need we better make it ourselves. Way to go.
Don’t get me wrong, food and clothing have indeed a higher priority than an online ‘a $1 per CPU/hr grid computing account’!
Well.. looking at it from a tad more optimistic point of view, the service’s been out for only 4 days so far, ( *whispers* but still managed to get DDOSed) hehe.. it might just as well be too expensive for them to offer it to people outside the US right now anyway, right? (otherwise they wouldve offered it to Europe/Asia as well), i mean, surely theres more to it than just opening up ports to the outside world n getting a buck per hour..

Knowing you, I think you went with a spoof or a proxy and got the info u wnated

What a wicked Sun! Even using Solaris 10 instead of Linux wouldn’t cause me to get “special” treatment hadn’t I lived in the US. Hmmm… Just to second what FusEbURNEr said, proxies must have indeed given you adequate access to whatever you wanted.
Stick to Linux!
it’s not just about “not in U.S.? less human”, I would say in a world where “globalization” is taking over ” not pro U.S.? not human???”
just a follow up.. if you ever do try out a proxy spoof yaman, please do let us in on the feedback.. it would be quite lame if sun’s supposedly almost heavenly grid could be tricked into that..
I think it is going to work, provided that Yaman enters real Zip codes, etc. Going through proxies is not a security hack nor a trick.
Kidding about Yaman being incapable of providing such info
.
Let’s know about it Yaman, and many thanks to Saleh.
