The main data pipes from Norway go through Sweden for traffic to Europe and further east/south. But there's also several direct fiber connections across the Atlantic to North America.
1. GOG is not an indie game store. It started out as a classic game store and is now a full-blooded game store. 2. GOG doesn't mean Good Old Games anymore, they changed their name to "only" GOG when they started selling new games as well as the classics.
Apparently Nvidia's 670/680/690 Geforce cards also support 4Kx2K output through the DisplayPort output. At least that's what it say on the box, I don't have a 4Kx2K display available to test it.
I spent my youth playing football (or I guess I should say soccer here at/.). And being a lefty on a soccerfield has it's benefits. Most players would try to pass their opponent on their strong side, which vs a samehanded opponent equals their weak side. Since most players are righthanded they fell into my "trap" over and over.
I'm sure you'd love it if Windows reported every single keystroke you did on your computer to Microsoft. Which in theory is exactly what this app does on your smartphone.
It's because all three countries have the same distributor which is a Swedish company. Since they're not importing the game to Sweden, Norway and Denmark won't get it either. Which makes Norway and Denmark collateral damage.
You can only start Steam in offline mode if you've started all your games at least once while being connected to their servers. If you got one game installed that you haven't run since you (re)installed Windows and/or Steam you're unable to start Steam in offline mode. I found this out the hard way when I was without internet for a couple days after a recent reinstall so many installed games had not been launched since the reinstall.
That game will be old news by the time I'll be any good at it then, if this story is true. I'm having a hard enough time trying to teach myself how to use a computer mouse righthanded after having used it lefthanded for 25 years-ish.
Most people won't bother putting enough hours a day into teaching themselves to do something "wronghanded" like your tennis example. The benefit is just not that great, unless it means you'll win the grand slam.
I visited one of the local hi-fi shops some time ago and I saw another example of this. They sold an optical cable that had a fake ferrite bead attached (it was just the plastic shell) and it had those arrows indicating which direction you should hook it up in.
I run Thunderbird 3 in the background at all times. I use it to check 3 email adresses via imap. According to my G15 keyboard my computer is using 0-2% cpu while I'm typing this in Opera with 8 open webpages, Steam, Live messenger and Thunderbird is running in the background.
This is not true.
It's true that many games are running without vsync enabled, but don't confuse this with framerate. Most games have a fps cap. Console-related games are capped at either 30 or 60 fps. While pc only games are usually capped at something between 60 and 200 fps. This is done to ensure that all other (physics, audio, network and so on) calculations are in sync with the graphics. Without this you could end up with a melted cpu instead of your gpu, again due to insufficient cooling, or the game could do funny stuff like it did in Quake 2 where you (rocket-)jumped higher with high fps.
So it is in fact a very bad flaw for a game to have completely uncapped fps. This is something ONLY benchmarking and "torture" software should have.

All I can say is that I'm left-handed. Both my parents are right-handed and so are both my brothers.
If it was real hehe. Good one Notch!
Which in turn adds a new meaning to being blown away by your competitor.
Windows ME = Worst malware I've ever had on one of my computers.
MSN Messenger is about as personal as postcards. I don't trust the postal service not to sneak a peak on those.
Guess I'm not the only one that used to run software from a ram disk on my Amiga. That would at least be a decent explanation for the 16GB of ram. :o)

This is why you shouldn't have phone sex on an airplane.
But thanks for the iphone and R.I.P. Steve.
But the legal age to appear in said porn is 18. :P

Easy, with an axe!
This makes me wish I was invited to this wedding. :'(

So, Skynet runs on PS3s then?

3D tv or 3D content... This is a bit like the good old problem: What came first? The chicken or the egg.
Reflecting light and projecting images on a flat surface are two different things.
