I'm in Spain and I don't think I've seen an automatic in my entire life and it's also not possible to get a licence for an automatic car.
I think their UX is awful, and their client is very slow in channels with thousands of users. They should open up their protocol so alternative clients can be created, or at least some IRC gateway.

If we had a referendum on this ("should the police be able to access the communications of someone as part of the investigation of a crime?") I bet "yes" would win. Myself I also think it's acceptable. Don't think it's so clear-cut.
