Correct me if I'm wrong, but "the same order of magnitude" is generally taken to mean "within the same power of 10". The statement "there are roughly 10 million seconds per year" is off by 2 powers of 10, so I'd say that even "of the same order of magnitude" is wrong.
This means that a user who uses "password123" or any other obvious eight-character password with random numbers on the end is in effect using just that lame eight-character password.
The same thing goes for the Danish mobile operator CBB.:(
They could've (read must been) simply stored your history without letting you use it.
They did. After I enabled web history for my Google account, I could see web history dating back to from before I enabled it. So the change only means that I have access to the data now.

On the other hand, the documentary The Global Warming Swindle (copy here) argues that while the level of CO2 is rising, it is not the cause of global warming.
OK, I RTFA'd, but I didn't find any reason as to why.
Did I miss something here?
I was also intrigued but the "these new materials should not be used before several years -- if ever". After reading the articles, however, I have reached conclusion that the word should should have been a may...

If you're already paying the TV/radio license, you will not have to pay a single cent (krone, actually) extra.
True. But since 1984 I have chosen a lifestyle without a TV. I already pay close to DKK 600 (EUR 80) per month for my Internet connection, and now the government wants me to shell out another DKK 174 (EUR 23) per month for the new "media license". If I needed radio or TV, I would buy those devices and I would happily pay the fee, but as it is I do not listen to radio broadcasts and I do not watch TV.
From 1st January 2007 every household in Denmark that has a PC and an Internet connection will have to pay a "media license" of DKK 2090 (EUR 280) annually, even if you don't use your Internet connection to watch TV streams from DR (the national Danish TV station).
Apple does not determine the amount each artist receives from a sale at the iTunes store. Each artist's contract with their respective label determines that.
I know, that's why I'm suggesting that artists have their albums released with a Magnatune label rather than, say, Indie. In that way each artist would get 50% of every purchase. But of course this won't help artists that have already signed up with traditional labels...
