Sadly most bicycle accidents only involve one person and are caused by bad roads and bad conditions. Single accidents here in Sweden were 70% of all accidents and just 20% involved some kind of car. Basically what might seem dangerous, city traffic, usually isn't, it can be hard to get used to the stress of a crowded street but it's very safe. What is dangerous are those bike paths that seem lovely and then just end abruptly because of bad maintenance.
Agreed, from what I've heard 12 years is old enough to have road sense and balance, over here you are mandated by law to have a helmet until you are 15.
I'm guessing it's not possible to require companies to have UK presence, given laws in EU. Even if it was allowed I must say it seems like a pretty feeble goal to set as well, there are always work around if you got money.
On Gnome 2 i.e. Ubuntu 10.04 you can not use alt-tab while dragging something, this is a fundamental design error in metacity. It's apparently fixed in Ubuntu/Fedora etc see: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135056 I don't know when it was fixed.
Thank you for being more specific, sadly that $500M is still abstract, e.g. Wikipedia does the calculation "cost of the whole shuttle program/launches = $1.5 billion" So probably not off by that much as you say.
To put the cost of manned space travel into perspective, a single shuttle launch cost enough to completely fund about 1,500 PhDs to completion, or to fund about 200 DARPA advanced research projects. And that's just to get the ship into orbit, not counting the costs of the equipment for the mission, the training, the ground personnel, and so on.
Tell me more... While interesting factoids, do you think you might be off by an order of magnitude there, or maybe two? I'm just objecting to arbitrary numbers being thrown around it's like saying Columbus voyage could have been used to fund 1,500 people to be scholars instead..
I did some calculations on this a while back, and buying a moderatly cheap used car (~15000 USD) would cost me about 750 USD per month calculated over 10 years (if sold at an ok price).
So instead I bought a Cargo bike [wikipedia.org], it's fun fun fun. But I guess SF is abit more hilly..
Total previous budget 3.5 million SEK, new budget for today 400 million SEK - no anomaly there...
Sweden has give 150 million crowns per year to Cambodja for the last 20 years.. We pay a lot in foreign aid, and yes it's done to further political agendas set by politicians in Sweden, but only in broad guidelines such as help democratic movement by educating the opposition as well as the leading parties. E.g. I know the there have been a lot of work done in teaching how TOR works.
Move to Scandinavia, I meet lots of people from the US who have a great time over here. Sure the pay after taxes is going to be less, and you will have to learn a new language, but in the end (of your life) you will have gotten the better deal over here.
the legal system of Sweden and of UK is one big sick joke !!
Serisouly get grip. Just because there are lots of "what if" being brought up by supporters of Assange doesn't make it a big sick joke. It's sad that Assanges apparently douchey behaviour can be used against him. That is a problem for every semi famous person, not just freedom fighting "anti-american" activists. Just with less "what if" consequences.
I haven't seen a Swedish ID card for less than 45 euros, and I think passports and national ID cards are about 55 euros. Not that much more than the 40 euros you pay in Germany, but it still too much money for a collection of useless security features..
I challenge you to find one case where someone got sentenced for scanning for open Wifi networks, or just took a plea bargain. Scanning for SSIDs is the same as scanning for an FM radio.
Industrial Robot is what I think of when I think of robot, and this isn't that far from that, and it is autonomous for some parts of it's journey. But my reasoning might be slightly handicapped by the fact that in Swedish robot also means missile.:-/
If you were a good geek instead of a wayward one maybe you'd not give your children admin privileges and then they wouldn't install things they shouldn't.
Sure being "smart" helps you from infection, not sure about admin rights sure it helps but not much.. The should have admin rights though, children are supposed to click everywhere and learn stuff and to do that they need to be able to break stuff. Sadly that will mean getting a slow Windows installation, or making the computer unbootable in Linux.
You can always have a WoT that is based on things like Slashdot ratings and other similar things.. If you get an up vote you are less likely to be a spammer.
Tries and Bloomfilters are wonderful algorithms, because they are simple, if you want something a tad bit more complicated use Locality-Sensitive Hashing to find similar documents from a big set of documents.
If you want to see a 3rd world country, come to the US, and visit the 80% of it that still doesn't have cell phone coverage, or the east side towns where people live from hand to mouth. It's a quite different picture frow what Hollywood and Fox shows.
1. the person who pays needs to be the same as the one who is on the invoice. So you can't give a subscription to anyone without having it in your own name. 2. the invoices are not kept by my bank but by a service provider, using different standards with different quirks 3. making a local copy of these HTML/PDF/txt documents is horribly slow. They all have different systems filenames, which have nothing to do with the invoice. 4. I need to have at least one paper invoice before I can get them electronically.
The one good thing is that I don't have to care about invoices at the end of the month, just press pay.
Most of the news that comes out is pretty good. I don't think that all apples are bad just because I find one of them was bad.. Fox News is an extreme case.
Basically * key exchange -> you need to be a man in the middle for every call. * public key/private key -> you just need to listen to the traffic, and decrypt it with keys acquire before or after listening.

mountain biking, 2 broken helmets, 3 bones, many many cm of skin lost.
Nice... I'm guessing you guys wear other protective gear as well?

I really have no facts on the subject but please watch: It Does Take a Rocket Scientist! Why Mars is Hard.
Apparently the guy posted a Youtube video stating "I'm armed and dangerous, and I will shoot to kill police officers if they try to take me out"..

How is colonialism worse than regular wars, like Yugoslavian conflict.

John Goerzen: has some great posts about 3 year old children and Linux, my favourites are:

There is a slightly more "flashy" version called gravitee wars. Polished and stuff.

The standard way of measuring cell phone coverage is by percentage of population not area. That's why Sweden when it auctioned off the 3G licenses said that the guy who covers the most of our population get the license. See: http://www.tele2.se/kundservice/tackningskarta.html and http://www.telia.se/privat/kundservice/support/mobiltelefoni/tackningskarta/ that seems to be better than ~70% area coverege, I thought it was worse...
It has some problems:
