How about the minor detail that the Austronauts can bring USB sticks with them that have not been thoroughly checked for malware. While being an isolated environment it obviously isn't protected from security challenged austronauts.
A classic case of luxury problem.
Why three mobile phones, are you waiting for the not so ineviteble question "Is that 3 mobiles in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
Your local beer is not designed to be served ice cold.
Spent lot of time here in Belgium, enough to sample all of the +500 kinds of beers brewed?
Hoegaarden Witbier (one of many white beers) is a easy to drink beer that certainly is at its best when served very cold on a hot summer day.;-)

When the price is outrageuously inflated based on location that is exactly what I do. Wasn't that obvious from my post?
Some places let the unemployed, or retired, or disabled people in cheaper or even free. Some bars let women drink for free, some events let people in free in fancy dress, some places give discounts to members of the armed forces.
Are you implying that the entire US consist of unemployed retired disabled women in fancy dresses that used to be in the armed forces?
And some of us have a real problem with being forced to pay 150-200% more than if we were to buy the same product in the US.
I stop using pirated software and music the day I can buy it at the same low price as non-Europeans can
They will be sold unlocked, probably at a higher price than the $199 which is going to be price in most countries. And certainly many of those phones will find their way to countries where you can only buy iPhones that are tied up to a operator.
Still, none of this will prevent Apple from cashing in a very thick wad of cash from the sheeple that buy one in countries where they are tied up to operator X.
Excerpt from chapter 4 titled Terms and Conditions of the document.
Also consideration must be given to the opt-out procedure enabling user to circumvent the system.
The latter issue regarding op-out could not be specifically trialed since BTRT concucted this test as a stealth trial.
The system does provide an opt-out mechanism and this was laboratory tested and verified. However the method of opt-out requires consideration. Since it involves the dropping of a web-cookie on the users machine to indicate an opt-out preference, which if wiped by the user means they will be opted back in.
The solution would of course be to make it a opt-in instead of opt-out. Most users would of course not opt-in without seeing a clear benefit for doing so. One obvious benefit would be that those that opt-in recive a discount on their internet connection. Simple and fair.
Not that I think these laws will be passed to please the music and movie industries Maybe not, but you can be certain that MAFIAA lobbyists now are busy manipulating Swedish MP's into passing the bill under the pretense that it is crucuial for national security. That they then will try taking advantage of the bill (if passed) for anything but national security reasons is certain.
Did you actually RTFA you are referencing to?
Telia-Sonera did not block webtraffic Cogent Communications did!
FTFA:
Cogent has decided not to exchange traffic directly with TeliaSonera's AS 1299 or indirectly with AS 1299 through a third-party provider. As a result, Cogent has partitioned the Internet and disrupted the flow of traffic between Cogent and TeliaSonera customers.
While this has a negative impact on some users of the Internet, this effect is the result of Cogent's decision and is unfortunately beyond TeliaSonera's control. Until Cogent rectifies this situation, TeliaSonera customers experiencing any difficulty reaching Cogent's network can continue to purchase IP Transit from TeliaSonera along with another Tier 1 provider. This will fix the immediate problem and ensure optimal connectivity going forward.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience causedâ¦
If you have further concerns, please address your commercial contact at TeliaSonera
Care to explain to us who are not wearing tinfiol hats how this can be interpreted as TeliaSonera willfully blocking traffic to Open Standards sites?
Our trust in authoroty of this kind is strong since it have served us well in the past. I would say that the Swedish trust in authority of this kind is more a result of Pavlovian conditioning than factual proof that it has served us well.
o say that the national radio and IDG (how many Swedes are "geeky" enough to read IDG?) has created "quite a lot of fuss" is a bit of an exageration. As the majority of the Swedish population basically rely on two sources for their news, the two national tabloids Aftonbladet and Expressen, which unfortunately are pretty much the only two media channels capable of creating a fuss among the general populace.
Then again if Aftonbladet and Expressen were to report on this chances are good that the majority would act like they always do, baah like the flock of sheep they are and quickly focus on more important issues like the Italian Goth couple that had sex in a Confession both (a article prominently featured on the frontpage of todays online edition of Expressen) or the latest Docu-soap gossip.

Why is it that the three words Never go there, invariably invokes the Big Red Buttoneffect?
This BBC article will help you understand what delegates and super-delegates (a term used by the Democrats) are.
And nomination is as far as I (being a non-US citizen) understand "simply" a matter of deciding who in a certain party that eventually will run as president by voting.
I hope this clarify things a bit.:-)

You call that beer?
Nope, I call(ed) it a bland liquid. ;-)
In Belgium we have proper beer. So grocery stores try not to annoy us by selling bland liquids like Budweiser.

That would make perfect sense. So, probably not.
