I'm not generally inclined to feel sorry for Microsoft but here I'm getting close.
The fact that the 4.5 million Norwegians think they can make (or have to make) such a demand is, for what is mainly a quaint political issue, largely based on their oil-wealth.
For years now they have been fighting about what their language should be like and only because of this wealth can they afford to have several versions "official" at the same time.
And then they have major spelling changes on top of it!
Spoiled children they are..

Yeah, but that's because them kids only understand this jibber-jabber and got no way to go on these wooden shoes.
Besides they're all stoned by the time they're three.
At least they know the difference between Good and W.Bush..

Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are optoelectronic devices based on small molecules or polymers that emit light when an electrical current flows through them. They are being developed for applications in flat panel displays. A simple OLED consists of a fluorescent organic layer sandwiched between two metal electrodes. Under application of an electric field, electrons and holes are injected from the two electrodes into the organic layer, where they meet and recombine to produce light.
Polymers by such tongue twisting names as polythiopene (red), polyfluorene (blue) and polyphenylenvinylen (green) consist of aromatic benzene rings which are pearl strung via carbon double bonds. As in conventional light-emitting diodes, the benzene electrons are excited by an exterior voltage of 3 to 5 Volt. In returning to their original state they emit light in a colour specific to their material which is exceptionally brilliant and soft.
I'd like to add something from Holland. Though I'm not 100% op to scratch with the actual legal text it's aproximately like this: 1.)
You can only record in private places (like your shop) when you clearly tell all coming in and they have a choice to stay out. 2.)You can not record in a public place without a licence because it's a public place, not your place. 3.)
Not anyone and his dog have access to the (licenced) recordings of public places.
I've seen pictures of a concrete dish disguised as a fountain. It was build by a Dutchman running a Dairy farm in Saudi Arabia. This obviously works best nearer to the equator.
In all these replies I miss an obvious question; since when is Budget part of law enforcement.
Where I come from law enforcement is strictly limited to licensed government agencies, not car rental companies.
The other question I'd have is that I just got into the US of A with this single visa covering all states, so why can a private company limit my freedom of movement, after all I pay them for every mile I drive that car. (OK, after hearing of this anomaly next time I rent a car I'll be careful who gets my business). This is what you get when there is no general law governing privacy, it seems any idiot with deep pockets (= an expensive lawyer) can interpret it his own way.

Good point: A dollar is what you can *buy* with it.
But there was a silly remark in one of the articles: "American workers are still the most productive on earth, two-thirds more productive than our counterparts in Great Britain, for example."
Why would the writer want to compare the US to the UK?
This is where your first remark comes in again, the Brits have a relatively high per capita income but their Purschasing Power is almost the lowest in Europe, only the Greek and Portugeese are worse off!
But it must be said, at least Britain overtook them in the last 15 years.
And indeed, true poverty is when your family goes hungry after a days work.
Something not uncommon in Great Britain but virtually unheard of in Greece and Portugal.
Just do a search on the net about the number of British children going to school hungry.
That's why it's silly to compare the US and the UK.
And it was several days ago they filed for surceance (Chapter 11-like). At that time last week curators were appointed.
Yesterday morning they filed for and were declared bancrupt. Since then the curators are trying two things, keep the value of the assets as high as possible and try to find buyers.
I heard one of the curators in a radio interview and he said they'd keep on most of the personnel to continue maintenance.
He said the "burning rate" of the company is about 7 million Euro per week, nothing compared to the total dept.(Between 1800 and 2200 million Euro)
By being able to prove you have a reasonable policy towards assuring licensed software on the machines you have authority over and responsibility for you have a better chance to keep them (the BSA) at a distance.
A company or organisation that cannot show any proof of such policy beforehand is more likely to get the goons in.
A search warrant of some sort is always required and the authority issuing it will be far more prudent when you have such a policy in place and are able to show you enact it.
As a Dutchman I'm often surprised how many of us are able to code in (a sort of) English yet have problems grasping the English text books.
So, yes, there is a real reason to have such a site in one's native language.

Otherwise you would have experienced that girlfriends are in expenses only comparable to wives.
Vanuatu is at least twice the size of Sealand and has a MUCH nicer climate :-)

Yeah right, have a look at this this site

It's a New EULA, so the old one did not mention it?
The solution is simple: continue to use your existing version.
You mean Kontender....
So it was the Feds that asked the question on /.
Collection of Methane from old landfills is quite common in NW Europe.
Often (usually) it is used to drive a generator via a Diesel engine.

Like existing large mirrors it will have an active (air) suspension that continuously corrects for any temperature and gravitational effects.

In this 21st. century you'd expect UTC for time and either Kelvin or at least Celsius for temperature.
