USA should always be the first choice in the list since we pretty much run things on the internet anyway.

itt I await your affirmation.

actually, I prefer when I have to hunt for it.

8/12/2010 12:58:53 PM

i just hit the U button and it gets pretty close

8/12/2010 1:02:52 PM

While I agree, these select your location things are completely pointless and a waste of my time. They could easily enough determine your location automatically and do away with this mess.

I find TenaciousC's input on web usability... intriguing.

8/12/2010 1:03:41 PM

I find it shallow and pedantic.

Shallow

Pedantic

8/12/2010 4:08:04 PM

I disagree with ^ but agree with most everyone else.

8/12/2010 4:17:07 PM

I agree to agree

8/12/2010 4:24:34 PM

ignore this statement

8/12/2010 5:10:11 PM

I hate when i am hitting N to find NC and then i realize i am in the country field.


DOH!

websites should never ask for location. They should assume usa and then put something in the lower right corner to change location.

8/12/2010 5:14:43 PM

I just want to say that I dislike when websites don't have a generic category/page for people who don't want to input their location

(and if you were using a proxy, they wouldn't reliably be able to know where you are anyway, amirite?)

8/12/2010 6:00:27 PM

it is only to your benefit to put in the actual location

the pain is that you have to

8/12/2010 6:20:15 PM

I think the choices should be "USA" and "Not USA".

8/12/2010 6:33:41 PM

The choice should only be USA.


LEARN ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKERS!

^^^ Generally speaking, yes.

But sometimes you don't want to pigeonhole yourself (especially if you travel a lot or live in various places)

[Edited on August 12, 2010 at 6:42 PM. Reason : ^ and you know it's not only about language, right? There are geographical restrictions sometimes..]

websites should never ask your location


they should read it via your IP



and if you're behind a proxy, stop trying to h4x

8/25/2010 1:14:07 AM

I would never try to H4x my location when I'm Off Kaplan.
I could understand if there was an official Off Kaplan proxy that we could connect to when we travel though.
