You buy a sticker to put on the inside of your windshield. It costs ~32€ and is good for a year. With that, you can drive anywhere, without any further tolls. Switzerland has butt-loads of tunnels and bridges that they have to maintain, and their autobahns are some of the best I have ever driven on. They are probably cleaner than most surgical operating room in the world.
That's interesting. In Slovenia, although it's a very small country with just over 500km of highways, these stickers cost 55eur a year and are expected to go up. Our neighbors already hate us for that.
In Italy, they have some kind of electronic subscription sticker system that lets you get through the toll booths fast. Or you can just shove in your EC bank card or credit card at unmanned booths. They do have folks at a few toll booths. On my last trip there, I saw that a lot of tourists would hold up maps, and ask the toll collector for advice. So maybe tossing the human element out is not such a great idea.
The Italian automated system once didn't take my Maestro card, so I pressed the Help button and it let me go without paying. It said they will mail me a bill, but they didn't, I suppose they don't mail to other countries.
And to the people asking: It's a pain to remove the sticker.
I do have to wonder just how much blood money is in Swiss banks and how much of the wonderful Swiss lifestyle is paid for with the misery of the world.
That's the point - now you won't have to wonder anymore.

How much does the US spend on software (Which the chinese will get for free)
Now, if only there was such a thing as free software in America.
Free porn? I'll be in my bunk.

That's reasonable, but a kill-switch would only hurt the communications, not help them.
Does revealing people's secrets (what the 2011 nominee did) really endangers the soldiers more than sending them to Iraq (what the 2009 winner did)?
Can't they just ship VLC with the browser?
Apple is more borg-ish than MS, what with the tight control over hardware.
Not true. Apple develops. Microsoft assimilates and adapts.

Well, the folder view is right on the desktop by default.
If you mean application icons, you can drag them right out of the K menu onto the desktop
What? If anything, it was the opposite. The Rich were transferring money to the poor so that they could buy houses they could not afford.
The rich are not after money, they are after control. What better way to control a population than to control their only means of getting a house?
Actually, that one successful attempt from almost 10 years ago is still working.
Royal Air Horse?
Well, maybe the IDF is, you know, defended. It's somewhat harder to get to soldiers than to civilians.
You used freedom and Facebook in the same bullet point.
I think HPoSoft would be a better name, pronounced "hipposoft".
I would say HypoSoft (as in hypocrite) is a better fit.

You know that you forget, yet you keep forgetting nevertheless.
So, you're saying that NP=P means "Natalie Portman is Portman", which would make it prior art for the "Long cat is log" meme?
Whatever happened to the old NP=NP, as in Natalie Portman is Naked and Petrified?
I have nothing against NP, but what does P stand for?
Only in America is washing your laundry in public machines OK, while driving in common lines is communist.
On the other hand, the progressive Catholic church has moved on from the myth of original sin and has accepted that he died for Net Neutrality.
No, you got it all wrong. The article is about cargo ships transporting facebooks that are doing the coding.
that America's true religion is money.
A chess match is usually much better understandable than program code to a general audience.
Well, it could mean it's just faster than some x86. I would say it outperforms a 386.

Interestingly, Mac OS X ranked as the best solution, scoring better than all the tested purpose-built options.
Then why the hell is the article about Vista?
Next we'll get "User share tests show Debian is above average".
