    Be my guest. In fact, I'll even let you hoard the helpless adulterers, adamant leprechauns and astroturfing lobbyists, how about that?

    people nicer? Politicians more honest? Economy better?

    All of those vary a lot depending on who you talk to, where you are and what you do. Just like in the US. When I was over there (I worked for TenFour which had a US sibsidiary in VA, I spent probably 2-3 months on US soil in '96-97) all the people were very nice, the economy was booming and I didn't see a single politician. The closest I ever got to NC was a day in Virginia Beach. :-P

    (living in Raleigh, hurricanes are rather on my mind at present).

    I see. Complete the poll and GET THE FUCK OUT!!!

    I like to cover my bases. :-)

    By the way, noticed you have a Swedish email address...what's it like living in Sweden? (My great grandparents were Swedish immigrants to the US).

    What kind of question is that? What's it like not to live in Sweden? When you figure out how to answer that one, I'll answer yours. :-P

    Umm, no, wait - I've got an answer for you, sorta: It's like Canada. I've never been there, but my guess is it's pretty close, both in climate, socio-economics and general attitude. If you just want the climate and some of the attitude, try MN.

    Dunno why I'm answering someone who uses the word "frist"

    I thought it would be a funny tie-in with "deseret/desert" and the story the other day about re-arranging letter in words. "Dyslectic" was a real typo, coloured by the Swedish word for the phenomena (dyslektisk). Anyhow, thanks for the answer.

    Oh, and it's "admission", not "admision". (Hey, we're on Slashdot!) ;-)

  20. "Deseret" Morning News? on College Freshman Builds Fusion Reactor · · Score: 1

    My frist reaction was "My God, the Slashdot editors have started a real paper!". Anyone know why it isn't called "Desert Morning News"? Was the founder dyslectic?
