Because in some places, SMS is free (or virtually free). My plan is (converted to US currency) 3 dollars/month + 0.7 cent/SMS. No free minutes, free received SMS.

You may not remove restrictions (such as the BSD restriction that the copyright notice must stay intact).
> As I understand it, High School is part of what we in Sweden call "grundskolan", which is required here.
Actually, grades 1-9 in Sweden is called "grundskolan". Grades 10-12 is called "gymnasium", which is equivalent to High School.
Grade 10 is also when you have to choose a major in Sweden. At this point in your life you should probably know if you want to work in construction or prepare for college.
> That's laughable. I can't imagine how you possibly fooled someone into modding up such baseless crap. The resolution difference is 20%, and PAL pays for it with a 20% lower frame-rate as well.
The difference between PAL and NTSC is not only framerate and the number of lines. The PAL colour space is richer than in NTSC.
That doesn't mean PAL SD is less irritating than NTSC SD when compared to HDTV (720p), however. HDTV just looks so much better.
1. Can I do it with Linux today (GPL2) and tomorrow (GPL3)?
Yes
2. Can I statically link the code with Linux libraries? (My own experience shows that dynamic linking is too much to bear.)
Only if it's LGPL
3. Can I obfuscate my code (e.g. encode it)?
It doesn't really help, but go ahead
4. Could I be forced to publish this code by some 3-d party?
Not if you do it right
5. Am I correct that programming in and selling BSD-based boxes won't raise any of the above problems?
You can do whatever you want with BSD code
Do you find it easier to think of 1MB as:
10^6 * 2^3 bits -or-
2^23 bits
The byte suffix is binary, not decimal. SI should have just used MBi for megabit and stayed away from touching the bytes.
After all, everyone will keep calling 2^23 bits 1MB, regardless of what SI says now.
I'm OK with the IEC GiB notation though.

Then I'll disclose another great shortcut for you:
Win+R instead of Start->Run
A city of 100,000 with no broadband?
Unthinkable over here in Sweden, where the majority cities have a population of 30,000~120,000.
Are you sure they can't even get DSL? One would think at least one corporation would be interested in 100k potential customers.
