We have chosen to include it in the Country list because that's how it appears in the Geolocation services we use, and being consistent has its benefits. I've not had a single member from Taiwan complain about our labelling but will certainly take their complaints to heart should they choose to voice them.

Apart from the nonsense about Taiwan, the OP has a good point. Right above "Your Country" on the Settings page, there is the line that says: Code Project Location based Services. So changing "Your Country" to "Your Location" would be a tad more consistent.

"So you'd better..."? That's the same as me insisting that Texas be listed as it's own country (which it is if you believe the tourist advertising). Lighten up Sparky - your use of this site isn't going to be affected in any way by the way countries are listed. This ain't the place to be political - we're programmers, not stuffed shirts that worry about territories, regions, or anything else of that ilk.
If I were Chris, I'd delete your account, but then again, I can be quite the prick...

I see you still haven't switched to decaf.

My body rejects decaf.

And, hey, Bavaria is missing! I use "Germany" meanwhile, but my country is Bavaria!

|

just as "Ottawa" and "Vancouver" ,we should not call them "country" ,so the "country" is changed to "country and region" will be better.

Ottawa and Vancouver are cities, Taiwan is an island. Whether it belongs to China is a matter of opinion.
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

China cares...

Yeah, and we all know Chris is very strongly pro-Taiwan-independence!

I think at this point, Chris just wants to be left alone for a day or two.

I kept this from the last time you posted. Unfortunately
a) no rum in the house,
b) Brycey gets upset when I code tipsy.

Whenever someone posts in the Lounge, it should consolidate all their messages into one thread. You get a new thread every day for all your posts.

Ewww.
Let me see if I can get you something close that will give you what you need. (It won't be threads though - that just sounds messy)

Someone took this too seriously. What do you have in mind?

Gimme a day or so.
Something magical.
(Oh, hang on - apple has stolen the right to label anything vaguely or slightly different magical. How about I just use "pixie dust" instead to describe it?)
