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. 8/12/2010 12:58:09 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. 8/12/2010 1:03:28 PM |

I find TenaciousC's input on web usability... intriguing. 8/12/2010 1:03:41 PM |

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.

^^^ Generally speaking, yes.
But sometimes you don't want to pigeonhole yourself (especially if you travel a lot or live in various places)

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. 8/25/2010 1:21:42 AM |
