There have been noises about the Falklands.
Trying to replay that adventure would be a bad mistake.
"In 2003 Mr. Kirchner was elected to succeed the interim president, Mr. Duhalde. Mr. Kirchner embarked on a new economic model — the one that his wife, continued to follow today. Its pillars are sustaining a weak currency to foster exports and discourage imports, and maintaining fiscal and trade surpluses that can be tapped for financing government and paying down debt.
The Argentine government waited until 2005, when its economy was already in recovery, to conduct the first of two debt restructurings. Nongovernment foreign investors — the biggest included pension funds from Italy, Japan and the United States — took haircuts costing them two-thirds of their investments.
Notably, the one creditor that was paid back in full — in 2006 — was the International Monetary Fund, to which Argentina owed $9.8 billion dating to the 1990s.
Since paying off the International Monetary Fund, Argentina has not borrowed from the fund. That enabled the Kirchner governments to avoid the agency’s typical prescription of cutting state spending.
The Argentine government has maintained hefty subsidies on energy and some food to avoid public discontent — steps that would be anathema to the monetary fund. But high commodity prices have helped let Mrs. Kirchner maintain popularity at home through generous government outlays."

Does IMF Stand for Impressive Macroeconomic Flexibility?
So the IMF is holding a meeting on rethinking macroeconomic policy (I was invited but couldn’t make the timing work.) And the Fund’s chief economist has already made it clear that he’s open to some serious revision of the prevailing paradigm.

Putting the Gini Back in the Bottle
Can policy make a difference to inequality? In particular, can governments reduce inequality without killing the economy? As part of class prep, I’ve been looking at a story that has received very little discussion here, as far as I can tell, but is very interesting, to say the least: the remarkable decline in inequality that has taken place in Latin America.
But wait — aren’t Latin nations extremely unequal? Yes, they are — still. But not as much as before. The region moved left politically circa 2000, partially turning its back on the Washington Consensus — and there has been a dramatic reversal in inequality trends:
What about economic performance? The study linked above divides regimes into three kinds: Social Democratic (e.g. Brazil), Left-populist (e.g. Venezuela), and non-LOC (left of center):
Lots to parse here, and of course many questions about the relevance to richer nations. But remember how the right exalted Chile’s privatized pension system a while back? (It turned out that the Chileans themselves didn’t share the enthusiasm). Well, maybe there’s a different lesson from our southern neighbors"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/

What Is a Megabyte?
I am looking for the size of a packet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_of_death
"A ping of death (abbreviated "POD") is a type of attack on a computer that involves sending a malformed or otherwise malicious ping to a computer. A ping is normally 32 bytes in size (or 84 bytes when the Internet Protocol [IP] header is considered); historically, many computer systems could not handle a ping packet larger than the maximum IPv4 packet size, which is 65,535 bytes. Sending a ping of this size could crash the target computer.[1]
In early implementations of TCP/IP, this bug was easy to exploit. This exploit has affected a wide variety of systems, including Unix, Linux, Mac, Windows, printers, and routers. However, most systems since 1997–1998 have been fixed, so this bug is mostly historical.[1]
Generally, sending a 65,536-byte ping packet would violate the Internet Protocol as written in RFC 791, but a packet of such a size can be sent if it is fragmented; when the target computer reassembles the packet, a buffer overflow can occur, which often causes a system crash.
In recent years a different kind of ping attack has become widespread—ping flooding simply floods the victim with so much ping traffic that normal traffic fails to reach the system (a basic denial-of-service attack)."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP_server
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/11/technology/instagram-deal-is-billion-dollar-move-toward-cellphone-from-pc.html?_r=1&hpA megabyte is a bit more than fifteen maximal packets.A megabyte is not very big at all.The limitation on megabytes is all about billing.There is no data limit on cable or on DSL. All it can do is extract money for time on the cellular system.The limit is a good reason to have and use a LAN for most things. -
