The recent thread related to an exchange point in South Africa reminded me
of something I stumbled upon yesterday..
"The great African internet robbery"

from a financial/social equality standpoint with no regard for anything
technical.
Nonetheless, it seems to have received quite the hype (thanks a lot /.):
