This is by no means exhaustive. This is just the beginning.
Bloody hell, google.ca only gives me 45 results, and this is not one of them. Can't force myself onto google.com either, as that simply redirects me to the Canadian site.
In fact, there is nothing of interest in any of those 45 returns.
That is because the authors in Canada were unable to continue due to problems with their fingers freezing to the keyboards. :) For future reference, if you ever run into an issue where you can't search on something in your country due to IP restrictions, simply use an anymous proxy. http://www.publicproxyservers.com/page1.html I use the ones listed on this site often to pretend I'm - say - in France or Turkey or Australia. There are many other proxy sites as well. In addition, you can sign up for various proxy services. I am subscribed to cotse.net (shameless plug!) which is used to be my anon proxy from home. I typically have at least one browser - Opera - setup to always run through a proxy. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.livebeans.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

every time I try to use those proxy servers, it slows down my web browsing to the point of being painful. I always end up turning them back off. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

I've been trying to follow this... Going with the subject title, I'm going to ask a stupid question(s). Why would you want to do this? (other than getting google to give you different results) Is it just a matter of entering in the proxy info in the network setup...? Are they faster? I guess they hide who you are, but why is that an issue? This may seem like a obvious thing, but I guess I'm not getting it. TIA- -- Thanks, George If you play a Windows 2000 disk backwards you will hear satanic chants but - and this is much more frightening - if you play it forwards it installs Windows.
