What reason could their be for someone's IP address not matching where they actually are?
My friend says she hasn't been responding to my emails because she is in China where there are restrictions. Thing is her emails have the same IP address each time she mails me- and they say it's coming from Spain. So YES she could be lying, but I'm not going to accuse her of being a lyer unless I am absolutely sure she is. So- why would someone's IP address say Spain (and remain the same IP address) if they are actually in China? If they were contacting me via a blackberry or Palm or laptop would it say Spain even though they are in China? What's a proxy?

Answer 1 :
She is probably using a proxy. Many people in China use proxies to get around their government's restrictions on visiting certain websites. I would believe her. ADDED: http://proxy.org/
Answer 2 :
If you distrust her that much, then why be with her anyway

can someone help me
can someone help me:)?
I'm in year ten and had to write an essay on where I would most like to live in the world for homework, can you please tell me what you think? Constructive criticism only please, thanks! If I had the choice to live anywhere across the globe, I would always choose the one place I know best... England! A boring, unimaginative, typical answer? Nah, just the one place I feel safest, and the place I think of, as home! One of the reasons I feel so safe here in England is because it very seldom has freak weather, so there is much less risk of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes unlike China, Asia and America. Here, we have the rights of free speech, to say what we think and we are able to voice our opinions; this allows us to be the people we want to be. Journalists have the right of free press, they are able to write what they like, unlike so many other countries, this enables us to report, to update and keep everyone informed with everything that’s going on. We all have human rights that keep us safe and protect us. We have a democracy, where everyone can vote for what who they want to be in power; which means nothing disastrous can occur. Many places in the USA and Spain have curfews, which means the police refrain you from being outside of your property after a certain time, the curfews depends on your age, your gender, or if there is a particularly high crime rate in that area. The UK does not have a curfew, but we do have ASBO’s, this can help innocent people get along with what they need to do, but keep offenders from re-offending. In England, it is against the law to discriminate someone because of their sex, for example, you are forbidden not give a person a job because of their gender, because we understand that no sex is superior to the other, both are equals and should be given an equal chance. Any person who is earning more than five thousand pounds a year has to pay tax. One of the services paid for by tax is the NHS, the NHS give us the financial support, and the access to doctors, nurses and the correct equipment, to receive the medical attention we require. From complicated medical procedures, to simply removing a tooth. Emergency services are also there on demand whenever you are in danger; these are here to help keep you safe. Technology, machinery and equipment are all constantly being updated and improved here in England, for instance; computers, to laptops, iPods, to smart phones, but also with equipment that can save our lives, like health screening, MRI scans, and even x-rays. These help find diseases or illnesses so we can treat them before they get too advanced to get rid of. This is another reason that makes me thankful to live in England, because I know if I have a problem I can be helped, and that we have the technology and also the funding (from the NHS) to save our lives. We are also more advanced than some other countries in the fact that we have quick and easy access to clean water, and everyone, from any background, is being given the chance to go to school, and no matter how much we all complain about it, we all know we want and need an education! As children and adults living in the UK, we are able to grow up with everything we need, a good education, councillors, benefits, the NHS, emergency services, social services, charities – such as ChildLine, or Barnardos, we also have the chance to claim benefits if needed, which helps free us from poverty. All these things can help us to grow up to be whoever we want to be, and to be given the chance and opportunity to do what we want to do.

Would you be able to adjust
Would you be able to adjust?
Say you live in England and your parents decide you are moving to, say, the US, or another 'English' speaking country. Would you be able to handle that and adjust and make new friends? What if you'd move to The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, or another country with a language you don't speak? Would you be able to live there and make friends, even though you don't speak the language at all? I'm curious! =) Vote/comment plz: http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=answers&fid=145370 Suggested category: Computers & Internet > Hardware > Laptops & Notebooks haha =)

Answer 1 :
Well I grew up in Ireland and then moved to England...and I didn't speak very good English.
Answer 2 :
For me,just knowing me now I couldn't I'd take adjusting to all of that so hard.haha,like I can't even make new friends in a place I've lived in for 15 years,put me somewhere new? impossible
Answer 3 :
I think that I would be able to deal with moving to another ENGLISH speaking country. I think it would be a good opportunity to meet many people and it would be very preferable rather than going to a country where I DON'T speak the language. I think the hardest part would be missing people from here in Australia. I'm such a homely person and I don't like leaving for long periods of time. I like the security of having my own space, my own country and things that I am familar with. If you took that away from me, I'm sure I would at least be a little upset! The hardest thing is about keeping in contact with friends and overseas phonecalls can be expensive! My friend moved to England and I miss her more than anything. I know it would have been hard for her. I spent two weeks at a Japanese school. I speak basic Japanese and many of the students spoke little English. I had translating devices that translated into complete nonsense. It was amazing though! So much of how we communicate isn't through words at all. I felt so welcome and happy even if we barely could understand each other. When neither of us knew what we were talking about, it was a tiny bit awkward and made me miss home. I was one of the only people in the group who spoke the language and had to translate for another girl which was difficult and alot of pressure. If I were by MYSELF and had NO knowledge of the language, it would be horrible. I don't think I would've coped. It would be an interesting experience though!
Answer 4 :
good one umm i dont really kno about the dffrent language but yer i would try and over come the language barrier
Answer 5 :
I know, it just made me post in the wrong place accidentally and when I asked a question about fairies it suggested finance! I think people can adjust, especially if they have the people they love the most around them to help.
Answer 6 :
I moved from England to Scotland when I was 10. I hated it at first and I was incredibly angry at my parents from taking me away from my school, my friends, my whole life. The Scottish kids couldn't understand me with my accent, and I couldn't understand them! But I got over it and I made new friends pretty quickly. I think moving to a country with a different language would have been harder. But kids pick up languages amazingly fast. I think the older you are, the more difficult it is to relocate and feel at home in a new city, or country.
Answer 7 :
I don't think I could handle that very well. I don't make friends very well to begin with so moving to a totally different country would be a disaster for me.
Answer 8 :
yeah i would adjust.. it'd take time but i think i will be alright. i will my friends though:)
Answer 9 :
I might be OK with an English speaking country, but I would feel very cut off going to a country like France or Germany.
Answer 10 :
I would be a bit nervous to begin with, but once I settled in, worked out currency, where the good shops and foods shops are, I’d be right! I’m pretty out going and confident. It’s nothing for me to say hello and stop and chat to a random in the street about how nice their hair is or where I’ve seen them before! I have been to Japan, went there in January of 2005 for 2 weeks. I speak a little Japanese and could have a basic conversation and I think if I knew the language fluently. I think I’d adapt well. I absolutely loved it! I love new things and being thrown into situations that test me mentally (like language barriers). I don’t think I’d ever survive somewhere like Iraq, Lebanon, Bali, China, and those types of places. I could easily (well so I think) adapt to Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, US, Serbia, New Zealand, Tonga, Germany, France, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, UK Greece (I have family that lives there) and a few others. I’d love it!
Answer 11 :
No not usually. I don''t do well with stuff like that.
Answer 12 :
im a military brat so yes i coped fine. i moved from south carolina to turkery, from turkey to arizona, from arizona to japan, from japan to delaware, from delaware back to japan, from japan to fort worth texas. all within 16 years. so whoever it is thats moving will be fine.
Answer 13 :
If I wanted to move, I probably could do it. But, I mean, right now I would hate it because I like it in Michigan, but if I hated it, I think I could adjust. When I was in Italy, I become pretty good friends with siblings from Scotland. We had a lot to talk about, even though we knew little about each others country. But, some words that they said in their accent made me laugh. Like, the words "ass" they said "ahhsss" and "rat" they said "rahht". I don't know why but every time they said it I cracked up. If I moved to a country where very little to no English is spoken, I would have a really hard time. I can pick up new languages pretty fast, but not well enough to be able to enjoy talking to people. I probably couldn't make friends easily, I don't think I would be confident enough to speak to them, knowing most of the words wouldn't come out right
