How about blinds that are made of this material. For example we here in Finland as well as in other a bit colder countries have double glasses. So the idea would be use of those blinds between those glasses to reduce amount of heat that gets inside.
No and we don't need more heat. Believe me, sometimes its way too hot here in summer(for us of course).
This is sad, sad news for all people who are going to study engineering in US. We have just the opposite system. Studying is free even in university. Actually you are paid to study in university, if you do nothing but study. I think that system like this is at least in all Scandinavian countries. Yes, I am living in one of those 'dreamlands'. I am sure that ever growing greed is going to destroy USA in one way or the other.
I have been wondering why new games aren't that good and I think you should blame consoles for simple games. Why?
Multi platforming! Playing these frigging simplified games on PC is like trying to push cactus into your ass. Some games even don't allow using mouse or mouse support is somewhat retarded. Few more reasons...
1. Theres only few buttons you can use when playing any console. (Wii goes here too. Mouse + keyboard give more controlling possibilities than wiimote.) 2. Gaming style on consoles. Most of console games are like for zombies. "Hurr... enemy... shoot... another enemy... shoot... must run through this pipe like game..." 3. Hardware limitations. Just check the amount of memory on these 'next-gen' consoles. Uh, theres 512MB and its even shared with GPU. You just cannot store enough stuff into 512MB. See oblivion and its 128x128 textures. 4. Commercial side of console gaming. Only those companies that have money can do games for consoles and when they do have to pay dearly for making games they just cannot take risks. 5. Censorship... We want sex, nudity and everything in the games! For example see daggerfall. Theres nudity and its logically added into the game. Theres no sex movies like sex or anything like that, but nymphs are nude in game as they should be. In nowadays games, if theres a harpy, it will definitely have bras or something else to cover up sensitive areas. That thing is a game breaker for those who seek out immersion. (This is the one I blame US culture about.)
Don't worry, if you live in US at least your face is recorded with hundreds of cameras on daily basic. They can even catch you when you are making love. Err... Wrong site to talk about that last one.
No, its not illegal, but annoying. At least I am and some ppl here kind of annoyed by those ads and I am sure that isn't the way they ment to influence us with those ads.

Theres even more, but rant is over for now...
I think this might be somewhat interesting too. Population density is just for comparison. It was discussed already in other threads.
Population below poverty line | Population density(pop per km^2)
Denmark NA% | 126
Sweden NA% | 20
Singapore NA% | 6,208
Finland NA% | 15.5
Switzerland NA% | 176
Netherlands 10.5% | 392
US 12% | 31
