< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 293 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-26-08    whiskeyrebel: You're already past many hurdles. Bravo. Mar-27-08    WannaBe: Need a little help from CG.com's Italian/European community... A friend of mine wants to stay in Italy for a while, and the last time my friend was there, internet connection was rather horrible, or so my friend says. Has this improved? How easily can one access the 'Net in Italy? Much thanks in advance. Mar-27-08    suenteus po 147: <WannaBe> Thanks for your review of 'Duma Key.' It was glad and welcome news :) Mar-27-08    just a kid: <wannabe>Well,I picked UCLA to go to the finals.Does that comfort anything?Out of the final 16 I have 12 of them! =) Mar-27-08    sitzkrieg: <wannabe> I was in Italy in the summer a little south of Rome and traveled by car from (around) Anzio to the North and in every reasonable city town there was at least 1 internetcafe with excellent access, so I guess it should be no problem. Maybe some more kibitzers with experience? Mar-28-08    WannaBe: <suenteus po 147> :-)) You are more than welcome!! <sitzkrieg> My friend would like to stay a 'while', or long term, and 'Net Cafes can be rather pricy. I'll note what you wrote, and pass it on. Much thanks!! Mar-28-08    WannaBe: <just a kid> I hope/wish the <BRUINS> will win it all!! (of course... =) Mar-28-08    WannaBe: <sitzkrieg> I passed the information on. My friend would like to live in Italy for a while, and was wondering about DSL or cable hook up for homes. Going to 'Net Cafes can get expensive. =) Mar-28-08    sitzkrieg: Ah..Ok i must admit I have no clue about that:o..But I know they have good connections at least (not a big surprise of course, Italy is not that underdeveloped;) ) Mar-29-08    suenteus po 147: <WannaBe> I have offered a draw in our game.... Mar-30-08    Open Defence: it's a fix!!! I demand a rematch! :) Mar-30-08    Red October: any news from Brankat ? hope he is well Mar-30-08    WannaBe: <Red October> No news... I, too, hope that he is well and healthy. Mar-31-08    achieve: <WannaBe> Thanks for the note at my place -- very kind and considerate of you. Good to see we all care. Mar-31-08    WannaBe: Alright, the Kiva account repaid her loan! Don't have to fly over there and break her knees! =) http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=bu... Now, I have to look for another person to lend the re-paid money! Apr-01-08    WannaBe: Alright, I found another one, this time, in Ukraine. Small business owner, http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=bu... and I've committed meself to help him out. If you can, this kiva.org is great, you don't have to put up/lend a lot of money, just a small sum would go a great distance in helping others. If you don't help, or if Uriy don't pay, I'll fly to Ukraine and personally break his legs!! :-)) Apr-01-08    BishopofBlunder: <FICS>, I have become an infrequent visitor to FICS. Code Name: DissidentAggresor Add me to the list! Thanks. Apr-02-08    WannaBe: Okay, pretty funny... http://www.guessthespot.com/ Apr-02-08    whiskeyrebel: let's start us a syncronized drinking team, be it on dry land or under water. Apr-02-08    meloncio: <guessthespot> A nice quiz, though I missed inclined Pisa Tower ... incredible! :-( Apr-02-08    NakoSonorense: I got 10/16, but I guessed on a couple of them. I haven't been around.. :( Apr-02-08    valiant: The big eveningsnewspaper Corriere della sera's English division, Italian Life, has a very long article about - internet connection, Italy - Still interested in this topic?. A short excerpt... Italy’s digital divide emerged for the first time in late 2004, when the Observatory, directed by François de Brabant, showed that 9.8 million Italians had no access to broadband and could be considered digitally disabled. Disadvantaged regions included Piedmont, Veneto and Lombardy, as well as Campania, Lazio and Sicily. That was in 2004 but the picture has changed in the Observatory’s new 2007 report. At the end of last year, the situation was looking distinctly better and Italy's digitally divided population had dropped from 9.8 to 3.4 million individuals. Nevertheless, some areas of northern Italy, especially the wealthy, populous Veneto region, were still in poor shape. Apr-03-08    WannaBe: <valiant> Thank you, much appreciated!! Apr-03-08    Knight13: <WannaBe> I borrowed Norton Anti-Virus from my friend and it killed it. Said the stuff infecting is "Spyware" and the other one it said "Trojan" with something after it. I couldn't even open the internet explorer without turning off the internet connection, and it also blocked me from opening files on my computer! My dad erased the comp's memory and used that Anti-Virus to kill off the trojand and spyware thing and now it works. Thanks! Apr-04-08    WannaBe: Wait, They made $109 million?? And she wants a stressful job that pays pennies (in comparison, of course)?!?! Sum'th'n fishy going on here... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080404...
