Sweden: 100 Mbit/s down, 10 Mbit/s up, fixed cost of USD 44/month. No extra per-megabyte-charges, no monthly limit. Yes, I can use my 100 mbit/s constantly, just as you can your 4...:):)
To be an effective healer in CoH you have to: A) Alternate between several different heal powers. B) Apply those heals at the right time. C) Apply other buffs besides heals.
It was the character configuration screen that got me hooked on CoH when some of my friends demoed it for med. I love dreaming up new alternate characters (alt-o-holic!) and visit the in-game tailor at least every other day. (Gives a nice relief from the level grind and a good way to spend all that excess influence:-) )
So, is there any new configuration options on the (near) horizon for players like me, who like to tinker with our characters look-and-feel? Clothes, accessories, power colors, auras, super-group mode options, individual costume slot body-types/sizes for Jeckyll-and-Hyde-ing, etc?
Well, the mouse *does* serve the same place in Swedish slang that another furry animal, the beaver, does in American - leading to an tiresomly unending series of jokes about "fiddling with the mouse", etc...
For that reason, some people tried to call a computer mouse a "rat" in Swedish. Didn't catch on...
That aside, I thinki your imagination needs a good cleaning; sometimes a mouse is just a mouse.
The thing is that "literal" and "figurative" is (or perhaps was?) opposites. "Figurative" means you use a simile, such as "drinking from a fire hose", while "literal" means you don't - you describe the actual truth.
Just guessing, the difference is that in US you get all these pre-trial motions (which jurors to allow, what evidence to submit, what questions you may ask the witnesses) which may be appealed by both sides, giving a long and potentially costly pre-trial. This is where I suppose all the costly lawyering comes into play, and where loop-hole shystering is done.
Over here, you wait until afted the trial to do appeals, and you make an combined appeal, not separate motions.

As for Sweden, we had a very agressive newcomer coming early into the market, promising and delivering at a low price. The old telco and others had to match that, or see the market disappearing totally from under them.
That, and the fact that the local communities (corresponding to counties/cities) are very keen on laying down a lot of fibre, renting bandwidth at low cost to ISPs, in order to attract businesses and taxpayers.
I just saw that Bredbandsbolaget is going to offer 100Mbit/s (max 300 GB/month) to their customers this spring. Wonder what that is going to cost...:-)
Tunnan - "the Barrel" Draken - "the Dragon" (or "the kite" - look at the wingshape from above!) Lansen - "the Lance" Viggen - "the Thunderbolt" (or a kind of duck - note that it has a "canard" design...) Gripen - "the Griffon/Gryphon" (note that the coat of arms of the part of Sweden where Saab is situated is a gryphon).
According to the Swedish Military's web pages, Swedish military personnel is currently participating in peacekeeping missions in:

Well, what they are doing in today's more-and-more networked world is basically first setting up a giant store, and then placing a sign in the window: "people living in certain countries are not allowed to purchase our merchandise"....and then they act surprised when people get real angry at that treatment and try to get it.
Judge Kaplan seemed want to sneak around on the complex issues raised by prof. Touretzkys demonstration by only looking at the exact code posted originally. (See the opinion, footnote 275: "Once again, the question of a substantially broader injunction need not be
addressed here, as plaintiffs have not sought broader relief.")
Does that mean what I think (IANAL) it does: that 2600.com can publish the english-language version(s) instead of the source code, as they are not covered by the injunction?

Becaused it is mispronounced?
In Swedish "Ång" in "Ångström" is pronounced as "ong" in "long" (and the "ö" like "i" in "bird").

I wonder: when did "literally" start gliding from "is exactly" to "is very much like" in some people's mind?

History of dispersed basing in the Swedish airforce
According to the Swedish Military's web pages, Swedish military personnel is currently participating in peacekeeping missions in:

However, the only time the Swedish Royal Airforce really went abroad was during the Congo crisis in the beginning of the 1960:s.

Just joking about the post I commented...
Those random uppercase words make the text seem like it contains some kind of secret code or something.

Hmmmm....
So, who is going to end up with the old SysV rights after SCO goes belly-up after this?
What would be the consequences of SCO selling them to, say, Microsoft as part of their dying breath?
"get it" should be "get around it", of course...
