Maybe a "most searched" sizes could beat this.

The Cuban exile is really hurting the country, sometimes I see US and Cuba leaders try to make things up and some guy from Miami comes out and mess the whole thing, there is so much hate, nothing good comes out of this.

Well, the internet access is a delicate topic, lots of schools have it, government offices, but not much civilians yet, they say is coming soon, but the problem is they fear technology (old people mostly), they see it as a possible way of US Gov. and Miami oppositors to take control of our minds or whatever.
Old people have fears, they have their reasons, young people have ideas, we want to push forward. And is like that, some get tired of waiting for a change and go away to a more tech-savvy place, but is not an option for everyone.
The bandwith is better than 5 years ago and improving, it's not wideband but we can live with that.
Anyway, it sucks to have studied IT Engineering (so far, thousands of us http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Information_Scien...) to end up setting up printers and not creating awesome stuff, people in charge have no faith in knowledge products.
I realized a big truth reading Peopleware: The "Spanish Theory of Value" is killing us.

Anyway I prefer Github, Google is not the cool company they used to be, now most of their products look like stripped-down copies of others.

I think we on the "Evil Axis" should have our own code hosting platform.
Possible URL: http://evilhub.com
I'm thinking in projects like:
ak47-assembler
missile-launcher
dropbomb
spy-detector
nuclear-cad
whitehouse-boom-boom
familyguy-downloader (we love stewie too)
