I had 2 servers in 2 different datacenters in Brussels which were
located on the same road, but pinging one to the other was going
through London.

ISPs in South Africa were adding latency on VoIP packets on purpose,
otherwise VoIP was competing with their telco offers.

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
