I *have* heard that complaint before, as it turns out. But I wasn't aware they were doing it by IP... I mean I can see switching to a different page by locale, and forgive if not approve of hopping to a different domain, but by IP? What does your IP have to do with anything? What do they do about multinationals where everyone connecting from an entire continent shows up at the same /24 or even /32? You cad, you bounder, there I was floating along in my little pink cloud believing that here was a company that doesn't suck, and you dash all my illusions.
