    I'm Swedish and the only Finnish I know is "Voi vittu satana perkele!" (probably misspelled). Finland has the best curses in the world

  5. Re:Oh, I totally agree... on Nokia Design Guru Urges Apple To End Cable Chaos · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why don't they standardize the audio jacks? Very confusing with the American 1/8 inch thing while we in Europe have a 3,5mm version

    Worst, Godwin, ever

    I thought amber alerts were referring to the color

    I use an iPad to read attachments from outsiders, works for word and excel-docs too

  9. Re:Huh? on Ask Slashdot: Enterprise Level Network Devices For Home Use? · · Score: 1

    One of the users here managed to put a USB-A connector in the ethernet port, and when I worked in a shop there was one customer who put a PC133 in a more modern PC, but i think he used a hammer (no kidding)

  11. Re:OMG, no please god no unions in Tech on BART Strike Provides Stark Contrast To Tech's Non-Union World · · Score: 1

    In Sweden about 69% of the workers are unionized, and the companies are still quite innovative IMHO (ie Skype, Spotify)

    What insane amount of paid time off? I'm from Sweden and only have 7 weeks (35 days) of vacation/year, plus the regular holidays etc of course. Fun fact, we get paid more when on vacation! :)

  14. Re:Uptime fetish on Solaris Machine Shut Down After 3737 Days of Uptime · · Score: 1

  16. Rich countries need working computers on Rich Countries Suffer Less Malware, Says Microsoft Study · · Score: 1

    Most people here in Sweden depends on the internet to do stuff like paying bills, communicate with government agencies, school and what not. Virus infested PCs are often useless for that.

  17. Re:Why solitary? on Pirate Bay Founder Released From Solitary Confinement · · Score: 1

    As someone who spent some time in police custody I can tell you that it's standard practice in Sweden. About 1700/year are put in custody and then found not guilty or not charged with any crime at all (like me). Most lawyers find our system far too harsh, here's one lawyers view on the issue

  18. No (at least I don't) on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Need a Phone At Your Desk? · · Score: 1

    When my company (actually a government agency) moved six years ago I chose an all mobile solution for us, saved a lot of cabling and reduced the number of phones ringing at an empty desk. Nobody misses the old phones. The mobile solution is also a lot cheaper.

  19. Re:Messed up on Pirate Bay Co-Founder In Solitary Confinement · · Score: 2

    True, I spent 47 days in solitary confinement at the infamous Kronoberg then they released, no charges, and after about 6 months I got 37000SEK for the "inconvenience". They thought I had something to do with a kidnapping (I really didn't)... But the wardens were actually quite nice, I got an Xbox in my cell, unfortunately a TV remote was required to change the channel to AV, which they didn't have (they said the tweakers broke them)... But it was miserable that I couldn't speak to anyone but the lawyer, couldn't pay any bills, it was even hard to make arrangements for my cats.

  20. Re:Obligatory memes.... on Why Are We So Rude Online? · · Score: 1

    Top Rear? Is that the porn version of Top Gear? I'd watch that
