You can't choose where you were born. You can choose not to move to Canada, however.

Programs should not care where you live.

Unfortunately geeslaka, we live in a world with things called "laws", and most of these laws are applicable only in certain countries."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

So, if a program thinks you live in country A, it will have certain features, but if it thinks you live in country B, those features are disabled?American by birth, smarter than the average tropical fruit by the grace of Me. -me

The reason why your files haven't been deleted is because the OS still thinks you live in the USA.
No it doesn't. It plainly marks my location as "Japan" everytime I use the Software Update application.
I am sorry if you find the Mac interface too obtuse to figure out how to change your regional settings, but I suggest you take it up with Steve Jobs at your next slumber party.
I have changed my regional settings. There's no need to get pissy just because you were completely wrong and made a huge deal out of nothing. Why don't you just admit your mistake and move on instead of engaging in childish name-calling?
That's what Apple has done, yes.
No it hasn't.KH FOR OWNER!

I run XP with openoffice.org 1.1 rc3 and mozilla 1.4. I have absolutely no complaints about OOo, sure its a little slow, same as mozilla to load but when its loaded its great! I've encountered no bugs, indeed there was some survey a few days ago saying that OOo had less than MS Office. Mozilla, like I said, loads slowly, but when loaded its damn near perfect. Besides, two seconds and a patient man.
Nonetheless, by 1.6, when it uses firebird, that will rock!"I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison
