There's already a bloody flashlight in every mobile! Haven't you noticed you can use the screen backlight as quite good flashlight in those emergency situations where you need a bit of light not to stumble on stairs or fit a key to keyhole while not trying to wake up the wife?:)
How can you quantify this? If you are too sick to work, you are too sick to work. Here the system is basically so that the employer has insurance, which compensates the employer for sick days the employee has. You can "call in sick" and have to consecutive sick days without certificate from doctor. After that you have to have a certificate in which doctor makes and estimation of how many days the employee must stay at home. And by must I mean you cannot go back to work even if you feel ok, because for these days the insurance will not cover any work related accident for the worker. Only the missed productivity to the employer.
We geeks enjoy couple of months of delicious overtime with escalated salaries to fix the Y20.12k4D bug....Which never materializes because of our efforts, after which we are resented because of blowing the problem out of proportions.
Ah, thanks for clarifying this. I stumbled to my shoelaces while trying to decipher the summary. I understood the "I could get paid for my videos if someone would be interested about them", but the "how?" part was bit of a mess.
So you think it is nearly impossible to get reminded of US when these kind of issues pop out elsewhere?
"Wow, Steve sure is acting like that crazy lady who throws cats around and rambles incoherently!" "Huh wha? How can you be reminded of him!? Steve's throwing _pink_ cats and speaking pig latin! I think that's quite inappropriate! Now apologize the crazy cat lady!"
PS. Any similarities between US and crazy cat lady is purely coincidental.
Quite easy actually. First, let us tackle the verb and the subject.
Throw = Heittää Chair = Tuoli
Now, the interesting thing is that the basic form of this verb is only used when speaking of 3rd person perspective. F.ex. "Ballmer heittää tuolin". Also note, that in this case the basic form of "Tuoli" is not used. The 'n' suffix indicates a possessive form. Which makes no sense so it must mean some other form. Which, I have no idea. No one but the men of language sciences know all of Finnish forms of words. Then, let's have a look for first person action. "I throw a chair" -- "Heitän tuolin". Again, have a look at the suffixes. Lord only knows why, but now we threw out one T and added an N to the verb. The subject has the N suffix again. the subject is actually useless without a form. Basically only thing you can do with a subject without form would be edumacation like "This is a chair" -- "Tämä on tuoli".
To give something to chew. Let's list the normal presens form: Heitän tuolin (I throw a chair) Heität tuolin (You...) Heittää tuolin (He/She...) Heitämme tuolin (We...) Heitätte tuolin (You (in plural)) Heittävät tuolin (They...)
And to indicate the possessive: Tuolini (My chair) Tuolisi (your...) Tuolimme (Our...) Tuolinsa (His...)
Any combination of these is valid. More interesting things to do with 1st person declensions.
And here's the 15 basic cases to finnish language: nominative, genitive, accusative, partitive, essive, translative, inessive, elative, illative, adessive, ablative, allative, abessive, comitative, and instructive.
And 12 adverbial cases: superessive, delative, sublative, lative, temporal, causative, multiplicative, distributive, temporal distributive, prolative, situative, and oppositive.
You don't just throw chairs in Finnish! Prepare for lifetime of torture with the grammar before you can simple things correctly! From http://www.helsinki.fi/~jshermun/language.htm: "It is an essentially logical language. The rules are absolute and reliable in all situations, except exceptions."
When I was working in sweden for couple of months, I actually used both skyp-out and skype-in to call my relatives. The international call prices are ridiculous between Finland and Sweden, even when me and the other end are on the same companys network! (TeliaSonera)
Yup same here. All my data in a deposit box in a bank vault. Costs couple of euros per month. Less than a pint of beer. I haven't yet filled my box. I don't regularly deposit my backups as accessing the box requires procedures to which I don't have time every day. Anyway, whenever I feel like visiting the box I burn DVD's of all my personal data from my laptops/desktops, and finally one from my server with public data, database and configuration. I just toss this DVD set on top of the pile at the box. If I ever run out of space at the box, I think I'll just trash them all, keeping the oldest set and depositing the oldest one to my "precious memories" box.

This was considered grind back then? Shit, it takes 30 hours of PvP grinding to get a pair of mittens in WoW. No idea what time frame EQ1 items should be put as I never had the time and will to get keys or do the planar progression.

Good thing he's not selling anything.
Shut the hell up. You'r obviously a MS shill! ;)
Yes, but consider the amount of porn you can store!
I think we can all agree that the benefits clearly outweigh the disadvantages.

I would venture to guess that the unit was not primarily used for browsing the web or sending email to relatives?

Well, DUH! *Rolls eyes*
How are you going to take them to the judgement?

Damn, I was getting my hopes up that I just got a new sig.
However, it turns out there's only 29 verses in Deuteronomy chapter 29.
And I could probably put a satellite in orbit today given Google and enough money
This sentence no verb. :/
