Your "enough Swedish" is indeed good enough to require further commentary;)
To your point, it's possible to deconstruct "nittonhundratalet" into three parts:
nitton = nineteen hundra = hundred talet = "the age"
The best translation would then be "the age of the nineteen hundreds". If that was all there was to it, you'd be correct - and the translation would make perfect sense. However, what goes through a swede's mind could instead be described with a deconstruction into two parts:
nitton = nineteen hundratalet = the century
... which is why we'd translate "nittonhundratalet" as "the nineteenth century" and back. The perfect literal translation "det nittonde århundradet" has an archaic ring to it and is not in every day use.
This is actually one of the well known caveats when swedes speak English - even more so than trying to translate the Swedish cultural concept of "den lilla människan" into "small people". I'm just glad Carl-Henrik failed at even the literal translation which would've been "the little people/person".
Anyway, pulling a random century/talet example from Google, involving our beloved state-subsidised radio journalists and a politician's blog:
(while thoroughly irrelevant to the original topic.. )
Well, as a native from one of the countries in that link - our way sometimes bleeds through when doing on-the-top-of-your-head translations. In Sweden the correct description of the years 1900-1999 is "nittonhundratalet" - literally translated as "the nineteenth century".
CO2 levels have risen from 280 ppm to 380ppm since the onset of the industrial revolution.
The earth's biosphere can absorb only a certain amount of CO2, i.e. - that which is produced naturally.
Historical CO2-levels in the atmosphere range from over 4000ppm (even 7000ppm further back) to... about 280ppm. Why is the lowest number suddenly the only number the biosphere can handle?
Almost all swedes are between fluent and capable in English - I'd see no point in learning Swedish even if you moved here.
With regards to culture, it's like California* but (completely) without the nationalism you'd find in the US (sorry for assuming that's where you're currently residing)
Election coverage. If there's no new being reported on piracy/privacy related issues it will be hard to gather momentum around The Pirate Party in the September national elections.
Now I do live in Sweden where we share our cities with native polar bears, but...
... the GP is correct. I was taught about the next ice age that we were heading into (although the exact timing was unknown) in grade school. There was no mention of any warming, which is likely due the textbooks in Swedish state-owned schools stopped being updated somewhere in the early 70s, but plenty of text regarding the holocene and that we are lucky to live in an unusually warm period in Earth's history.
The launch versions in Europe had the GPU, but used software emulation of the EE right from the beginning.

No, as evident from several posts in this thread where people believe Sony "turned off" software emulation in newer PS3s when the fact is that the hardware support isn't there.
Without Jupiter acting as a “cosmic vacuum cleaner” sucking up these dangerous objects, there would be so many catastrophic impacts that life probably wouldn’t have evolved on the Earth and we wouldn’t be here today. At least, this is the commonly accepted wisdom. Like so many topics in astrobiology, it isn’t as straightforward as it first seems.
Yes, as can anyone whose code I allow to run on any digital system I use when I access any one of the services I'm registered to needing passwords. Actually, most of those services requires me to run code I cannot verify at all - in contrast to LastPass where it's at least possible (and routinely done, btw).
My bank _can_ take all my money.
My landlord _can_ enter my living spaces getting physical access to my systems.
If you don't like dealing with uncertainties, there are very few places you can hide. As to security questions, which was the original topic, I don't like the odds. You might use AES 256 and 30+ character passwords - but if you use the security questions as they are intended you're throwing away most of that entropy thus lessening the security of the whole system down to (in some extreme cases) 8 bits.
If I'm allowed to select a security question myself it's a random combination of characters.
The answer to all security questions on all services I'm signed up for is a random combination of characters.
Reason: It's the weakest link in a security system and should never be used, ever.
(I use LastPass to make sure I don't need to remember passwords - and before someone answers that I've just given my passwords to a service, no, I haven't. Study their architecture)
Without that guarantee of return, these companies would have never bothered to invent VHS, CD, MPEG in the first place
No. What we do is invent first and check if there's something patentable in the invention later.
Maybe you're thinking of "bringing products to the market" or "joining up with others in a co-development effort" etc - but you're wrong on the invention part.

It's quite common, for us, to slip up.
I fail to see how my anecdote confuses anything. Maybe you thought there was an argument in it?
If you live in Sweden, how come you're confusing the Pirate Bay with The Pirate Party?
If it's the name, then please explain the reasoning behind Marklund and Guillou creating Piratförlaget :)
lot's of people (me included) are not really comfortable speaking it (due to lack of practice and horrible, horrible accent)
Carl-Henric Svanberg, is that you? ;)
Sorry, couldn't resist.
"WE are designed [...]"
Sorry, but I think creationists fail this topic right from the outset :)
(With your words, most plants living today were "designed" for CO2 levels at 1000ppm. Won't someone think of the plants?)
I don't think you're the right person to teach paleoclimatology if you didn't immediately recognize the source I linked :) (Geocarb III)
My comment was, of course, that the biosphere can handle 380ppm (and much more) just fine.
As to your reliance on CO2 measurements from ice cores, you might want to have gas diffusion in mind:

Nah, we don't care.

Don't mistake The Pirate Party for the Pirate Bay.
The latter deals with links. The former is best described as the political branch of the Internet.
Sweden is a micro nation, and the Swedish parliament is located on an island.
Almost all swedes are between fluent and capable in English - I'd see no point in learning Swedish even if you moved here.

The Egyptian civilization was created as a result of devastating Climate Change (Sahara savannah becoming a desert)
The Egyption Old Kingdom was destroyed as a result of Climate Change (Nile stopped flowing over due to less rain upstream)

Handy tip for those who don't know: Add #t=XXmYYs to any Youtube link to jump directly to that timestamp.
The above AC link would become http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vouJTvrpHGQ#t=3m30s - and you can thus easier see how non-funny it was.
This earlier post in this same thread corrects you.
(My european PS3 does indeed have hardware to do PS2 emulation)
Your post is littered with falsehoods. I barely know where to start. Whether you realize it or not, you're concern trolling from ignorance.
(I'm sure you believe everything you wrote in your post above. That in itself doesn't make it true.)
CO2 absorption is logarithmic. CAGW rests _completely_ on speculated (and unsupported) positive feedback.
As to the errors: No, the geologic record does not show what you claim. No, we haven't had a nice equilibrium.
There are videos on Youtube.
Actually it's not that simple.
