how to configure VPN for iPad

You usually use VPN for two purposes:  to connect to your company’s network from home and when traveling or to connect to a public VPN service. You use a public VPN service for two reasons as well:  to hide your real IP address and to spoof your geographical location so that you can watch geographically-restricted video or music.

Using VPN to cloak your identity is really not going to work to hide your identity.  You need to use TOR for that. If you are doing something illegal, like violating copyright law, then attorneys or law enforcement will be able to find you anyway with or without VPN. VPN just adds one additional layer of obfuscation and means they need to serve a subpoena to one additional organization to find the name behind the IP address.

If you work in more than one language with Excel, then you know that there are often issues converting numbers from French, Spanish, or other Romance languages to American or British English.  The reason for this is that the number $1,000.25 USD is written as $1.000,25 in Romance languages with the decimal and comma switched. Because of this issue, some interesting mistakes have been made in computer systems.  One hapless retailer sold $5,000 cameras for $5 each. The consumer protection agency made him stick with that price when he tried to go after customers for the difference. One law firm billed clients for 40 hours in one day when the attorney had only worked 4. Needless to say, the client thought he had been cheated. Luckily, there is an easy fix for this confusion.

In fact, in most countries outside the US, the date is written as dd/mm/yyyy. (i.e., The day is first, the month is next, and the year is at the end.)
