Actually, as a Dane, I'd usually go with "black", or quite a lot more likely, their name. In one specific instance, I'd go with 'aunt', but I know that's cheating, on account of her being my aunt.
The compromise in my area is US$100 for 20 mbit down and up. Sweet taste of fiber. Fivefold increase in price for sixfold increase in downstream, plus symmetric capacity? Hells to the yeah.
I especially love that they seem to be completely unable to ship me anything I want. 9/10 of the items I've recently tried to purchase from Amazon UK, US or DE (Germany) have been labelled 'Currently, this item can only be shipped to the [insert country I don't live in here]'. Endless fun, especially since I'm logged in, which means that they automatically know that I don't live in [Britain|USA|Germany]. GAAAH!
The default install of Ubunto 10.whatever-it-is fails... I'm not surprised, Ubuntu 10.whatever is not entirely stable yet. That's just an automatic response to the fact that it's slated for a release in ~24 months. Shame on you for such lack of confidence in Ubuntu!
I have a 3G data subscription that used to be capped at 10 gigs, too. After that, they'd charge you through the nose. Now they've changed the TOS: There's still a 10 gig cap; they won't charge me extra after that, but they might just terminate my contract. Which is sort of good, as I never use it now that I don't waste hours in transit, and the damned thing is 60$/month (and I'm locked into the contract)
Speaking as a lifetime inhabitant of Scandinavia, no thank you. Please keep your stick-throwing and hostage crises away from us. We have enough madness, just having it on TV every now and then. Well, that and surprisingly "newsworthy" X-Factor.
I would like to recommend to you the documentary Manufacturing Consent for a levelheaded insight into how we have gotten to the media picture we have today. Interesting, and if not agreeable, at least insightful.
What, the Chinese are the only barbarians in your question? I find China and the United States two of the most disheartening facts of life. Like all states, they're bullies, murderers and thieves. These are just the biggest bullies, murderers and thieves at the moment.
There's both audio and video podcasts that are now freely downloadable (used to be subscriber-only). They're on iTunes music store for both, and on Miro for the latter. Links here
Doesn't even have to be a nasty DNS if the perp has full control over the connection - could just filter the DNS requests and only inject your own answers when you want to - just monitor port 53 for the stuff you want, like 'paypal.com', and Bob's your uncle.
Ye gods, three reboots for a bloody update? Do they have stock in all the major PSU vendors or something? The installation also took a few restarts...:-s
TFS isn't good to point out that it's intended for OEMs and other sales channels - this campaign isn't targeted at end-users. One would expect that people making money off of the MS waves of... brown would have SilverLight installed. Personally, I wouldn't expect even MS' own employees to have it.
Wow, what is this? Repost 3 day old stories from The Consumerist day? I'd say "You must be new here", but your UID would disagree with me. This isn't "Slashdot: WHAT'S ABSOLUTELY FRESH OFF OF THE BLOGROLLS, Stuff that matters". I don't read the consumerist every day, and if everyone on slashdot did, this story would be completely redundant. If it really irks you to see a story you've read somewhere else before, I'd hate to see what you do with a physical newspaper that you've actually paid for.
Been with this one for 3½ years - I usually wear a condom until I at least find out whether they have a name*. Not that their names really matter, though. I usually get around to asking what it is within a week or so.

Thank you for your very well-written reply, but I wasn't actually being all that serious. (No, the pregnancy was unplanned, and I am actually opposed to the idea of becoming a parent at my current place in life; however, after talking this over with the only other person to have any say in this (the mother), I've decided to go with it).
Don't mistake my badly crafted joke for being completely ignorant of what's ahead of me; before the final decision came, I had consulted with friends who are also parents (carefully not discussing this with any of my single, singlemindedly free-roaming friends), and I am in no way in doubt that I will make this child a net benefit for the human race. There are simply too many rotten parents, spoilt children, miserable families and bad genes in the world for me to actually fail in that respect. Plus, living in Denmark*, the baby will have pretty good odds for a good life, my involvement notwithstanding.
I am going to have a lot of fun making tech projects for my little one when that time comes, including audio books with his/her favourite bed time stories, video diaries of how the child evolves, and of course, teaching how to solder before the age of 5. How I survived until 15 without that knowledge eludes me to this day.

If you by 'past month' mean 'some time ago', and to clarify, the storm in the teacup is about the drawings of the Prophet M[o|u]hamm[e|a]d.
Actually, it's more focused on... the other aspects of brown life. Ergh.

Most reviews of A2DP that I've seen mention words like "buggy" or "unreliable". I'd bet that it is relevant for Apple's decision.

Go to a bar (in the US) and talk about killing the American president. See what happens when people overhear part of your conversation.
There, fixed that for you. (ie. I agree with you)The US does it's darnedest.
Debian still won't play nice with my RAIDs unless I'm ready to play contortionist. Same goes for Ubuntu. Fedora FTW! :)
The problem with the US being that if their economy folds, so does a lot of others. Huzzah!

He speaks true! Butch is now whimpering in the corner, and my brother already wrote back requesting more!
