In Switzerland, sitting on that motherlode of gold and art of dubious legality. Duh.
Seriously, though, I suspect that Switzerland is very capable of retaining its high potentials, although its banking system may not have everything to do with that.
Although as a Dutchie I am rather ashamed and angered by the reason and/or cause. I used to smirk at articles about the US where someone was ordered to pay boatloads of money for down/uploading some songs on Kazaa or Napster or whatever. Karma man, karma.
They would, but don't forget this is the same country where a private organization goes around smacking small ISPs with court orders not even meant for them for fuck's sake, to get the small ISPs to ban TPB.
However, as the article rightly notes, the commercial enterprise is in educating lawyers, and thus not a general anti-piracy practice. Although still sort of shady in my personal view, I can see how this does not constitute a direct conflict of interests.
And this is your mistake, see. You should consider any person trying to pat down a 4 year old a child molester. Any mistake to do so results in news like this.
First Europe sends banking info, passenger info, what will come? And there, for a moment, I believed Europe stopped being America's bitch. I'm voting... No wait, I don't know what or who I'm voting, because all parties I somewhat agree with agree with this shit. Fuck.
Why is this even necessary?! Apparently, you can void your hardware warranty by installing software (from TFA):
it simply means that by installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on their current (or future) ProLiant hardware that they won’t nullify any kind of hardware warranty
But how does this even work? Also: as TFA notes, it's unclear who is endorsing who here, with HP being extremely profitable and all, but wouldn't it be cheaper for HP to just not be a little whiney kid about what kind of software you can or can't run?
But here you are wrong. With SOPA, the public at large managed to find -- finally, I might add -- the supreme spot where to exercise influence over legislation. See, if corporations control politics, it's no use trying to influence politics directly. But if we can influence the politics corporations push for, which we demonstrably can, we can influence politics. Therefore, your point that people don't matter anymore is false.

Make available computers to use specifically to browse the archives and related activities? Seems quite reasonable. Also attach a printer so they can print it all and study it at home.
Yeah, I concur. If friends are over and we want to watch a movie, either I already have it, or I can download it in about ten minutes, so while that is going on, we play a short boardgame or prepare some drinks and food and hé presto!
We see it coming and just don't give a damn, it seems. Where are the times governments were afraid of their people? Or at least had some respect for their people?
When things are done for the media (documentaries, etc), they are translated into Imperial units, because the majority of the (American) audience would have no idea how big or small of things we were talking about when talking in some strange units they aren't familiar with.
Really? I thought you translated to football fields and the distance to the moon and back, or something. Or Empire State Buildings. And that's only length!
I wouldn't know, but _probably_ something like "d'r goat niks boo'm Grunn" although that would be the city dialect which in the eyes of the people from the province has nothing to do with Gronings.
Then again, there are a lot of different local variations, so I'm not even sure Gronings as such even exists:-P
Go Groningen! Best city in the Netherlands!
Er gaat niets boven Groningen!
(There is nothing better than (litt. above, latt/long-joke combined with language pun) Groningen!)
Latency may once have been an issue. I ping to AMS-IX from Groningen (Netherlands) in less than 10 ms. Usually some 5-7 ms. I use a Ziggo connection (former @Home) and have never been so satisfied with performance. Only my previous ISP could match speed and latency. That was the university using ethernet and fiber connected to the educational backbone.
I'd concur. I am routing, firewalling and NATing (IPv4/6 dual stack) at 100 mbit on a measly P4 2.4 gHz using a Broadcom built-in and the cheapest realtek available. I see about 40% CPU usage, the major part of which is interrupts.
I have an e1000 but it's PCI, so I don't get gbit off of it.

Performance measurement is for sissies. Getting along with the boss/owner, that's where it at.

The truth of your comment makes me cry with despair.

Oh dear, I'm terribly sorry but I misclicked. Now I have to comment =/

That's also one of the points from TFA: they will not pre-install Ubuntu, just 'certify' it.

Like slacking off while your code's compiling?
No short-form of cm as far as I'm aware though.
