This week I got particularly annoyed over embargoes. There's the Cuba thing and all (cigars, coffee, whatnot). Then I was reading about how The Maxwell Plum used to serve Iranian caviar. Not that I want Iranian caviar, but it just reminded me of all the bullcrap rules about buying this or that product from a given country.

Also if you're in Iran or one of these other suspect countries you can't download anything (at least they make you tick a box on the user agreement promising that you're not from there) from oracle.com. :rndh:

I understand the political reasons and all. But I can't help but think some civilized nations should be at a point of treating their citizens with enough respect to let them decide whether they want to do business with a given nation or not.

Dude. You need to hook me up with your unauthorized watch repair places. I was hoping I didn't have to go to Cuba to get the damn thing fixed. (Just that it wouldn't be under warranty repair and hence paid for.)
