    Would you move a family to Argentina...?

    Are you now in the center of a major city, or in a smaller city, town or suburb? Doesn't sound entirely like the USA I lived in for 30 years and re-visited last month. Last month, lines in the US grocery store I lived near were longer and slower than in my Coto. The post offices - now...

    Accutane in Argentina?

    Accutane is about the only really effective thing for persistent acne. And it's worth taking before the acne progresses. Accutane seems to shut down acne for 7 or 8 years at least. So people who take a second or third course, do so after a long gap. About the cost, my experience is that if...

    Signing US Documents from here in BsAs?

    Interesting. By e-signature, do you mean you signed paper copies of seller's docs then sent them scanned copies of the signed docs? If so how did you authenticate yourself and the signature to the escrow agent? Did the buyer have a mortgage loan and if so how did the lender accept your...

    Signing US Documents from here in BsAs?

    Your friend needs to ask the specific escrow officer who is doing the close what she and the county recorder will accept as signature guarantees for the close. In practice some businesses in the US will not accept US consular notarized signatures for title transfers (for example Fidelity will...

    Possible Airport Delay while paying $300 fine?

    An extra hour is not enough time. I did it a year ago, and allowed an extra hour. First you wait in the immigration line for the exit fine/invoice, then take this to the line at the bank counter, and wait there to pay, then return with the bank receipt to the imigration line for another wait...

    A good source for Mac and PC security news is Kaspersky Lab's threatpost rss feed. Here's an example that explains how Google and many other Ad companies exploited a weakness in Safari to bypass the privacy settings...

    computer hacked?

    Mac OSX does have a built-in firewall. Make sure it's turned on, in System Preferences -> Security -> Firewall. Where the settings are depends on the version of OSX. Then look in Firewall -> Advanced settings. Enable Stealth mode there if it's not enabled. Look at which applications...
