When it comes to music, the third largest exporter (after US and the UK) in the world is actually Sweden. I doubt that there is any measurable movie export, though, so it may very well be that the net result still is negative.
Beside, Mac doesn't let you run OSX under virtualization anywhere! It doesn't let you run OS X on a non-Mac. But there are no restrictions on running it virtualized in, for example, your PPC Linux machine using Mac-on-Linux.
I have a 10/1 mbit connection from Welho in Helsinki, Finland, and I'm filling it up quite nicely, probably at the very least 20-50 GB/month. Never heard anything, although I've heard rumours (friends of friends) of people that have gotten warning e-mails.

Ah! You finally gave me a reason to dig that old toy out from the closet of abandoned gadgets. My grandfather, who was a journalist, used it in the 80's, and since I was the family computer geek, I hung on to it when he passed away. In 4th and 5th grade I could nerd away coding games in BASIC during the lunch breaks. Since then, once every five years or so, I've plugged it in and booted it up just to see if it works. And this time, too, it booted! It runs on 6 AA batteries for quite a while, as far as I recall. Now I'll just have to find a serial cable and see if I can transfer stuff between it and my Mac or PC. Unfortunately the storage on the T200 is battery-backed RAM, so all my old BASIC programs are long gone since it's been without battery for many years.
My dream is that people would stop making that exact comment every time phones are discussed on Slashdot. Seriously, it was almost an interesting topic five years ago. Now it's just boring.
Even though you're semi-trollish, it's interesting to note that Arabic is one of the biggest minority languages in Sweden. Many governmental services are even available in Arabic. I'd say we're pretty well set in case we'd need to find Arabic translators - there are tons of them already. Not that there are any real terrorist threats to Sweden, Arabic or otherwise.
It's more like someone has used URL rewriting to maintain backward compatibility. This presentation details the past and current architectures of eBay. Among other things, it states that they have replaced their entire C++ ISAPI application with J2EE. I think the presentation layer still is IIS, though (the paper mentions MSXML).
Mac OS X has already been running virtualized - legally - for quite some time before the switch to Intel. I often run a virtual Mac OS X machine on top my my Ubuntu PPC Linux, using Mac-on-Linux. And yes, it works great, running at almost native speed.
But for much of the same reason that web users balked at Flash and Plugins, web users balked at Java.
Well, except that most people seem to love Flash. It's all over MySpace, YouTube, Google Video, Flickr, last.fm and about eleventybillion other websites making great use of it. Sure, some of us nerds get annoyed by it for various reasons, but that's another story altogether.
If those 100 geocities pages each have a PageRank of 0 (which they would if they aren't linked to from other high-ranking pages), their total contribution to your main page PageRank will be 0.
Add to this the common Windows notion that a "fresh" and clean install is something nice -- you want to start over a little now and then to clean up your Windows installation of all the extra fat it has gained during use. Getting a new computer actually gives an excuse to start over with a fresh new Windows without having to go through the pain of first backing up data and then reinstalling (since you still have the old computer, you'll probably just copy the stuff over network once you've got the new one up and running).

Well, sort of. The Japanese distribution Miracle Linux is partly (50%) owned by Oracle. Miracle Linux is also a part of Asianux, which sort of looks like Windows XP, by the way.
Maybe what the person did is despicable but not criminal, e.g. someone with HIV who knowingly refuses to use protection or inform his/her partners.
Now, I really thought this already was illegal also in the U.S. - I assumed that most countries had adopted similar infection protection laws to Sweden.
Does the RFID hold just your ID number for lookup on the database[...]
No, it holds all the data that is also printed in the passport, as well as additional biometrical information which can be (if I recall correctly) just a simple JPEG with your picture, or fingerprint data. Of course, more information is available on Wikipedia.
I myself have an RFID passport that I carry around most of the time (since I live in a foreign country and haven't bothered to get a valid local ID card yet). The first page of the passport is hard plastic, and if I hold it against a light source, I can see the antenna and chip.

Those notifications actually don't have anything to do with the underlying file system. It just needs something in the OS that can tell an application about file changes. Whether that file is on FAT16, HFS+, or UFS doesn't really matter. I'm pretty sure, for example, that Linux' inotify interface works just as well with a FAT16 partition as with a ReiserFS partition.

Well, if you just check the last 3 1/2 years, you'll see that it still has lost something like 95%.

They do remove some old viruses from these tests. The report mentions that they no longer count DOS viruses.

Did the submitter really mean that Donnie Darko makes you uncomfortable? I think it's one of the most touching movies I've ever seen.
Well, I guess the growth is on decline.
