The Norwegian goverment does not decide who is to receive the peace price. It is decided by the 5 members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. The Norwegian Nobel Committee members are mostly former politicians and the people in the committee are selected by the goverment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Nobel_Committee
here is a link to the original swedish news story (I hope they don't sue me): http://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/nyheter/fallande-dom-i-unikt-upphovsrattsfall-1.1205941
beware if you need to use google translate - for some reason google translates the word "kronor" to "millions"... kronor is the swedish currency so the text:
"Domen meddelades klockan två på onsdagseftermiddagen. Tingsrätten anser att han för brott mot upphovsrättslagen ska betala 70 dagsböter à 50 kronor. Därtill ska han betala 11.780 kronor i skadestånd till Canal Plus (C More Entertainment AB). Henrik Rasmusson hade dock hoppats på en villkorlig dom också, men har inte bestämt sig för huruvida han ska överklaga."
means that he has to pay 70 fines of 50 kronor which is 3500kronor plus 11780kronor in additional compensation. todays exchange rate for swedish kronor is: 1 Swedish krona = 0.145647 U.S. dollars
Javascript have nothing to do with Java. Java and javascript are 2 different languages. This article is about Java, not Javascript. Anyway blaming Javascript for evercookie is like blaming C or C++ for the millions of viruses written in those languages.
There is a "light version" of Microstation called Bentley PowerDraft which is cheaper. Whether it is overkill or not depends of how often you do this kind of work but there is also many free alternatives. You could take a look at the new "Drawings" application i Google docs. In Drawings you can also export to SVG http://docs.google.com/drawings/
except Star Wars is supposed to take place "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." - which means it is not about a possible future, but I agree with you one that fantasy movies often are so far fetched, that the whole "movie universe" they try to build in your mind fall apart
the molten salt battery came in the 2007 model the previous model had NiCd batteries. Here the text translated from norwegian wikipedia:
---
http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think
Think City has a Zebra battery that provides double the range of NiCd Technology to its predecessor, and with half the weight. It is safe, recyclable and relatively environmentally friendly, considering the alternatives. It needs no maintenance and has a range of about 180km. The battery uses molten kloroaluminat (NaAlCl4) and molten sodium . A Zebra battery typically needs to be charged more or less constant to be ready for use. If this is turned off, it needs a warming process that could take up to two days to restore the temperature inside the battery pack (about 250 C). This is needed only as a rule, after the battery has been left without electricity for three to four days.
The Think car she had was the previous version. The zebra and li-ion batteries first became an option on the new model. The old version had a different type of battery I believe
well I guess you are right but the "Think car" company I mentioned is not a giant company like Toyota and they made the first Think car in a way so that you could only buy the batteries from one vendor and that vendor took advantage of that situation. I think it would be a better idea to standardize the battery packs across all electric car brands - that would bring down the prices but I understand that as things are now where the battery technology changes every other year it perhaps too early to standardize?
I'm not convinced, people have been saying that the prices will go down for many years now. The batteries have improved, but the high cost of the batteries is still a major part of the explanation as to why only few people want to by electric cars. Anyway I think that electric cars might be more successful in other countries compared to Norway, because you have to factor in the cold winters and steep mountain roads together with the powers drain caused by that we have to have the headlight on during daytime (a traffic safety law).
Another problem is that the battery prices might increase more than you would expect (or more than the oil prices anyway). A college of mine in Norway bought a "Think car" http://www.thinkev.com/ because she lives on a small island where the only road leading out there was an expensive toll road that was free if you drove an electric car. She wasn't happy with the electric car and sold it. The new owner later on started a lawsuit because the car needed new batteries. When my college originally bought the car, the reseller told her that the battery cost would most likely fall as production picked up, but instead the price of the batteries skyrocketed so much, that the cost of replacement batteries was more than the price of the entire car when it was brand-new.
A side note: I read somewhere that the new generation of Think cars are been sold together with some sort of "battery subscription contract" where you pay a monthly fee which will cover all battery costs.
I see your point, but perhaps it would be possible to run OS/2 on powerful virtual machines? That way you could have the visualization software deal with the hardware.
English is not my native language but I’ll do my best.
I agree with the people here that told you to find out more about what the company really needs, and maybe your company should think about getting a common IT infrastructure first. In general it would be a good idea to try to document your processes (what is supposed to happen when we receive this and that type of document? and what will you need to do with these documents? Just store them? or are the documents meant to be edited by multiple sub contractors? For some companies it makes sense to have systems that functions as both crm and document control system. It might also be nice to be link to other types of systems and that is why you would be better off if you have a common it infrastructure. There are many big vendors - some are "general purpose" systems and some focus on specific industries. In the plant/ oil and gas industry contractors and oil companies use systems which can handle documents in ways required be local government. You should check out if your company needs to follow state rules regarding how to handle documentation. Some systems are really good at handling cad files - the best of them got support for reference drawings and revisions as well as functionally needed for controlling documents linked to each other per project. They might also have support for setting up the cad application to follow a drawing standard per project (a type of super template). People here mentioned Documentum and Sharepoint, and there are of course many more and I can add 2 to the list: Bentley Systems (Projectwise) and Software Innovation (Proarc).
if the fuel cells reach max. efficiency at 1000C - what would happen if you want use them as instant kick in backup power? Will they still deliver enough power at room temp? and how long does it take them to reach a 1000C?
Woman: Well there's rat cake... rat sorbet... rat pudding... or strawberry tart.
Man: Strawberry tart?!
Woman: Well it's got some rat in it.
Man: How much?
Woman: Three, rather a lot really.
Man:... well, I'll have a slice without so much rat in it.
Why is there a rat on the cover of a snake book anyway? Perhaps O'Reilly already used a snake picture on the cover of some other book and they didn't wanted to confuse people by having 2 snake books?
if this were Slashdot, some clever person would write a Windows/Linux analogy reply to this car analogy, that was an analogy to a story about game subscription resell policies....no wait a minute
not quite so - the reason he had to go though the switch off lamp procedure was not to hide anything. As far as I recall, the car was in perfect working order - newly serviced by a small shop or by him self (I don't recall), but according to him only authorized BMW dealers have the software needed to switch off the lamp.
Don't BMW already have a system a bit like the one you describe already?
I remember a story I heard from a college. He had to go to a authorized BMW dealer because he wanted to shut of the flashing "need Service indicator lamp" - properly because he wanted to sell the car.

thanks, I saw the error when you mentioned it. btw I can't speak Norwegian - I'm danish
while you at it, could you please also make a guess on future electricity prices?
