In one of the local neswpapers is a story about this, it say that the biggest reason is the very different life-rhytm. It's about a marginal group of yong men who havn't had anyone controlling their habits, they haven't been woken up at 6:00 and nobody has ordered them to do anything, they have been living without any limitations. When suddenly all this is true, they can't handle it. Net addiction is not a disease as such, but the other symptoms are, and they vary; panic disturbances, pressure handling problems and other psychological factors. These guys only have online friends and suddenly living in the same room with 10 other farting people is too much for them.
They go on to say that these people are examined later (1-3 years), and that most of them are rid of the addicion at that point and then they can continue their service. About 80% finish their military service.

Well, I WAS wondering about this, because in the year 2243 when close to every nation has sent someone to space, there will be a hell of a lot of different words for "[astro|kosmo|taiko]naut" and translations. Unless one gets shot throuth a wormhole and brings us the translator microbes...
I actually have been located by my cellphone, this was a demo of a locating service, the guy had a color screen GSM phone, and he could see my location on the map, which of cource, was across the table to him. However, first he requested me to allow him to locate me, I got an SMS I had to respond to (like majordomo), and then every time he queried my location, I was notified about it. I could also deny the locator service at any time by responding again to the first SMS.
As for parents locating their children, as long as the parent pays the childs phonebill, the parent should also be allowed to subscribe any service to it.
...and *they* *believe* *it*! This is of course again just my opinion, but the USA legal system is sooooo screwed. The worst part is that it can't be fixed without a sudden simultaneous enlightment among all law educated.
And soon we will have a nation called USE? Name contest is opened.
In lighter news, one notable difference between the american and the brittish is that the americans think 100 years is a pretty long time and the brittish think 100 miles is a pretty long distance.
As I remember it, it is a runtime licence, and if I understand it correctly this means that it is the compiled kernel that is to be licensed, not the source. So, changing the affected code for the next kernel version would do. Right...? (IANAL)
Why won't somebody make.cum available for XXX & porno sites, and restrict that content to that TLD, there would be one less argument as to why cencorware should be used.
That date notation is used most commonly in the US and in the UK (MM-DD-YYYY), and it is dangerous because it is often indistinguishable from DD MM YYYY. (ex. 05-04-1999) The international standard date notation is YYYY-MM-DD. I believe most people use the notation dd. mm. yyyy, or with the month name.
According to a thi finnish HIFI-magazine, 128kbit/s gives only poor to mediocre sound quality, 192kb/s is nearly acceptable, and 256 is near-CD quality, comparable to MiniDisc. And it IS from a high end Hi-Fi point of view.
This was from an article where they tested Diamond's Rio PMP300 and Macab's DAP32.
Among the tested encoders were bladeenc (linux and Windows), CDex (Windows), Electronic Cosmo's MPEG suite (Windows), Encoder-js (Linux) and MusicMatch (Windows, comes with the portable players).
What's the evil in sales taxes anyway? Everybody pays taxes, the power of internet sales lies in the broader competition (IMO). If I go to country X, and buy, say, a TV there, I'll get the sales tax back at the customs. Then I pay the local tax at my home country's customs (If I decide to declare it }8-] ). If my 500 Buckazoids(TM) total for the TV will get a kid a free schoolbook and some treatment for a hurt man in a hospital, then why not (it might be you). Taxes have their purpose. In my (H) opinion, there should be no difference if you by a product from another country by phone, fax, by visiting that country, or by filling a HTML Form. In the US of A, there would (as it appears to me) be use of a national systems, that contols some state-wide systems, which in urn contol the taxation in the individual cities/municipalities.

Well, You're improving. Soon you'll be down to 404 :-)
I haven't lost my mind. I have a backup on tape somewhere.
This shows that microsoft actually does support progress... Now an alternative file system will be brought up. One less MS product to rely on.
They must be submerged at the moment.

Putting the word "Terrorists" in the presentation will justify such a method of tracking people.
But then you'll probably be fined for not carrying your sword.

Why is it that whenever somebody kills or hurts somebody else, it always is everybody else's fault but their own?

They found it? Shit, gotta go.

Well, universe is expanding, but into *what*?!?
As I can recall, Nostradamus has predicted that a life form would be found outside the earth during the year 1999, is this related?
The Vogons will beat them to it.
