The TopCom Butler 4012 USB has been around for a while and it features Skype and regular PSTN communication in the same unit. It's also a wireless DECT phone and is sold for around 800SEK (circa 102USD) in Sweden.
Two years ago I started attending a computer engineering program at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. I bought a laptop with wlan when I started, but I sold it about a year later. Why? There were computers available in abundance everywhere and I got tired of toting around a 3kg laptop and my regular books in my bag. I could not afford a lighter laptop at the time. But on the other hand a lighter laptop would probably have a screen that was too small for my taste.
I decided to get a new desktop machine at home and kept my home dir in school in sync with a folder at home using unison. That worked great in both the WinXP and Red Hat environment that the school is using.
How come download caps seems to be The One Rule when talking about broadband in the UK and the US? I live in Sweden and I haven't heard of any ISP using download caps and several providers are offering 26Mbit/s down (if you live close enough to the telephone station). Currently I have 13Mbit/s down and up (VDSL), static IP and I've been running servers without any complaints since 2001 ( I haven't had VDSL since then but the same ISP). This costs me 399 SEK ( ~44 EUR, ~57 USD ) per month, a bit much for a student, but on the other hand I couldn't be happier with the speed!

Will have to use? Most Swedish channels that transmit teletext in the analogue network do it in the digital version too. The only difference is that it's a lot quicker in the digital version. It's the same chunky graphics, interface etc though. One example of this is SVT (I think it could be called the Swedish equivalent of BBC, http://www.svt.se).
I don't believe this is true. In Sweden the word is "skål" (pronounced somewhat like "skull" or "skoal") and translates to the english word "bowl". So I would think that it's a reference to the cup you're drinking from, not someones skull. I believe the same applies to Danish and Norwegian.
Actually, a new package intended to help Gentoo users switch to Debian was announced on debian-devel yesterday:
Package name : apt-gentoo Version : 0.0.1 * URL : http://www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/~mma29/apt-gentoo/ * License : GPL version 2 or above Description : enhanced package installation
apt-gentoo enhances the Debian package installation experience to make it fully competitive with newly-popular source-based distributions.
As packages are installed, apt-gentoo automatically downloads their build logs from the buildd network. The logs are then slowly scrolled past on the user's terminal to simulate building the software on the local machine.
apt-gentoo optionally, and by default, gives increased realism by spinning the CPU in a tight loop between build log lines, and writing large files to disk.
An additional utility apt-gentoo-benchmark is included to tune the delay loops for your hardware by finding the length of time taken by typical compiler and linker runs. (On slow or low-memory hardware we recommend leaving these values at their defaults.)
A preliminary package of apt-gentoo is available at http://www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/~mma29/apt-gentoo/
I've seen a couple of "Bankomaten" ATM machines reboot in Gothenburg, Sweden and they were running some form of OS/2. I think the ones I saw were manufactured by Siemens.
I've participated in mass howlings a couple of times while being drunk at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark. The festival has around 100000 visitors so it's quite an experience when you hear the howl starting up on the other side of the huge camping area and it comes rolling towards you. Haven't been any really good ones since '98-'00 though, not that I've have experienced anyways.
RJ45/11 are no cables at all, they're just the connectors. Sure, some ethernet cables use RJ45 connctors, but so do ISDN patch cables (at least in Sweden).
It's the 2nd track on the Windowlicker EP. This was posted on slashdot a few months ago. People claimed that the face could not be seen while using the MP3 version. Some people pointed out that this was not true
Ehm.../etc/services is just a file describing which ports different services use. It's not a list of actual services that run on the machine in question.
Last time (2-3 weeks ago) I tested the Woody ISO:s you could choose a couple of different kernel-images for installation, three of them were 2.2.X images and one was with 2.4.18. I installed with 2.4.18 and it worked like a charm. I don't think there's anything wrong with the ability to choose. If you install it with the default 2.2 kernel you can apt-get the 2.4.18 packages and have that kernel installed instead.
I can highly recommend Steve Gibson and his company Gibson Research Corporation for doing your audit. He is clearly the expert you and your company needs.

Several of the "sportier" Nokia models acually have a small LED-flashlight built in on top of the phone, like the 5140i. :-)

Also give Kohina a try...

And yes, I'm Swedish.
FYI...Sweden does have 25% too, not on all products though.
