Did you know that in the US, light switches are traditionally installed with "up" being "on", while in England they are traditionally installed with "down" being "on"?
Same in The Netherlands, up is on. And the UK way exists in for example also in Denmark.
The US/Dutch way is safer, when something goes wrong and you want to switch off in a hurry it is more natural to hit the switch from above.
That's how it was explained to me and regularly working with all four systems I agree it doesn't just sound logic, it is logic.
Please don't forget that, for all purpose, Sweden has been a one-party political system for many decades.
The Social Democratic Party was omnipresent and had virtual carte-blanche in their actions.
Only recently there is a movement to come clear about what in other countries would have been considered abuse of the system by the political party in power.
Dutch is the official language of The Netherlands but if Ethnic Turkish people want to campaign in Dutch elections in Turkish (and they do) nobody is stopping them. An Ethnic Kurd trying to campaign in Kurdish in Turkey will be in serious trouble.
And when you'd live in the Dutch province of Friesland you can do most if not all your official business in the Friesian language, it does not make you an enemy of the Dutch National Identity or attack the pride of the nation.
Such policies in regard to (minority) language are in place in many EU nations and generally without serious contest.
Indeed, it is quite curious to see how the 'Real Turks' hop up and down at the thought of anything Kurdish.
If it hadn't killed that many (and still is killing!) it would be amusing.
Pride of ones country and history is one thing but this type of nationalism is sick.
Just as a check, the Turkish Nationalists are claiming there is no such thing as a Kurdish language, then how the hell can it be banned?
OK, legally they are not specifically banning any language it's just the law that all political publications in Turkey have to be in Turkish:)
As long as his people have no free nation of themselves it will stay an issue.
Just as much as there is still no consensus in the US about the status of the Southern 'Freedom' fighters of the Civil War.
The Issue On Topic is that Present Day Turkey is still so unsure about it's reason of existence that it outlaws even the smallest forms of dissent.
The court's ruling that it is a punishable offence for a politician (Ahmet Türk) to refer to the head of the PKK as 'Mister' is a prime example.
A lot of terrorism would melt away if countries like Turkey could get to grips with the fact that people are different, even within their own borders and give them the respect they deserve like allow them to use their own language.

Indeed, other compressed formats would have, and have, come about.
But as mp3 was the first to rule the net what is the added value of your observation?
I don't care for the looks but I think the project as a whole is quite impressive, to get the essential bits to work together and roll your own software is quite a rare project!
Hehe:)
Yes we all make mistakes.
It was the 'refrain from commenting' bit that was so inviting...

I think the cable distances you mention give a clue about the 'problems' broadband has in the USofA.
Here in The Netherlands these distances would border on Rural.
I know North America reasonably well and all I can say is that the population density of your suburbia is incredibly low.
So even though the typical US provider is too much focussing on short term profits there is a difference with Europe in the ease of providing physical access.
An other difference is the absence of overhead lines in Europe, a higher up front investment but no issues with the weather.

Neat, so now I can disable them tilt bits and the DRM.
I am a lawyer. I do trial work. I charge an hourly rate which I think fairly represents my time, taking into account expenses, experience and the years of study and training it took to get qualified.
It is not all that different from the fees I am charged by my plumber, and less than my dentist charges.
Just take out his (legal) liability insurance and that dentist will be a whole lot more price worthy...
I would say (if true) Microsoft is trying to make money of the OSS developers by claiming it's their own.
If MS has found their IP in OSS stuff they ought to come forward and give the programmer a chance to fix it.
But then MS might only have SCO-type of proof...
Makes me wonder, if ever someone gets dragged into court by MS claiming their IP is being infringes upon and that someone could prove MS knew about it for a long time, even charges for it, would/should that make it a difficult case for MS?
Easy, the power supply is connected to mains, depending on your part of the world between 100 and 230 Volts.
Especially the switched mode power supplies will pass through some of that tension.
Measuring it with a (digital) voltmeter does not mean much due to the very low drain (high internal resistance) of such a meter.
Yet something that's classed as double insulated, a requirement for equipment without a ground pin, should not be able to give off a nasty shock unless it's broken.
That interference with a religion has a raised status I can somewhat understand. After all, whether you agree with them or not, religions have historically had great influence on the world.
But I have no understanding that a (in several European countries) convicted criminal organisation can claim this protection.

that made me write I concurred with the notion he was a moron, not because he was called such but because of the in my view flawed reasoning he is using and repeating. It is in my next reaction that I stated wrongly it was his own word.
I still think the OP is unnecessarily negative about those that (hopefully) knowingly elected to release their work with a GPL license.
It's not bad at all. If the FSF has this kind of control, then software under GPL isn't truly free as they like to claim. Free should mean free _for all_, not just free for the people who are deemed worthy.
We know the BSD license gives different freedom but it's not more, just different.
Sad thing is that *if* a treatment ever makes it to the market, it won't be until 5 or 10 years from now.
All too true, litigation after (sometimes perceived) errors by scientists and drug companies has caused reluctance to make new medicines rapidly available.
But in cases of terminal illness such reluctance has more than once been overruled as a potentially failed treatment is never worse than the alternative.
From TFA:
But Dr. Sadar said the researchers are confident that their findings will quickly lead to a human drug that, while it might initially be used to treat advanced prostate cancer patients, might eventually be developed for use at earlier stages, to avoid prostate surgery.
"I don't think we're years and years away from it," she said of the creation of a drug. "Now that the paper has just come out there will certainly be pharmaceutical companies that will be jumping on this. I believe this is a paper, or work, that will cascade, to have very rapid screening against this therapeutic target," she said.

The Swedes are very aware of terrorism, it is a little over twenty years ago their Prime Minister Olof Palme was shot and killed.
This is still an unsolved crime.
