You should have enough real memory in your computer to cover the working set of your programs. round up.
Then, as a safety margin add swap. More swap = larger safety margin. 2-3 times memory is still sensible. However, as VMs are more flexible today. both 0 and 10x are possible and sensible choices for certain scopes.
The swap should cover for some memory leaks, cover for extraordenary situations, and buy you some reaction time. Swap will buy you some speed with some server applications. Swap will always buy you safety and uptime. If you can, disable overcommit and add more swap for increased safety.
Some swap space _use_ is OK. (and normal for a system with a long uptime.) However, if your computer are activly writing/reading to your swap space (more than 1% of I/O capacity) thats a sign you already are late in ordering more memory.
Norway has half the population density of the US. Norway also has a lower urbanization rate, the article is plain wrong. (no 74% versus us 75%, however the norwegian rate is in reality lower as all citicens in muncipalities with town status is counted, and norwegian towns and cities tend to span wast rather un-urban areas with smaller settlements.) You will also find a higher percentage of single family homes in Norway. Norway is also way more expensive to connect because of a insanely ragged coast, and lots of doifficult to access islands and inlets.

The point is: the odd man out is not important, yet. All contries with 70+% urbanization can compete when the total broadband penetration in this list is 15-25%.
There is no way you will need a backup heating system to survive 8 hours. You building has a certain heat capacity and in 8 hours this heat will not fall with more than a couple degrees. So unless you open the windows, it won't get that cold.
Ofcourse the exact speed will differ with the heat capacity of the building and the difference in inside and outside temperature. In addition a serious heat leak can cause the inside air temperature to fall faster than the building temperature. (In most contries with actual winter this is a serious mis-construction.)
In a typical norwegian wooden house with inside temparature 20C and outside temperature -30C (as cold as it gets in the inland) you will get ca 5C lower temperature (building, not air) in the first 24 hours without heating. In Britain the temperature difference of a cold winter day will be half this, but probably also the building will be somewhat porer insulated. (However brick buildings have a tremendious spesific heat capacity in the material...)
In my current house (timber case from 1926 with inside insulation and outside panel.) given -20C outside and 20C inside, I could probably last for 5 days without heating before loosing 10C. (But in this house run steadily with 0C ouside (like it is right now) with no other heating than myself and my computer unless I open a window. (55m apartment ¼-part) I have nothing but electric heating.
On a side-note. At work (A University) we are systematicly connecting the cooling systems for computer rooms to the heating systems for the buildings so that more than essentially all of the power used to run and cool the computers gets reused to heat the building. This has been standard in all new public buildings for some time, but now we are fixing the old server rooms.
In addition if your computer is running, and is a p4 or athlon there is no way it will be colder than the approved operating temperatures inside the case. And in practice your computer will survive temperatures way below spec unless you have very gets condensation of undercooled air inside the case, (ie you get a -30C computer and boots it up in a warm bathroom. Only an overclocker will ever do something this stupid;-P)

Why would anyone censor *music*?
I can understand, though not really approve, movies, pictures and stuff. But why music?
Are they you still censoring books in the ehh, States ehh, of America?
(Please don't say they are censoring heavy metal with 'fuck' or 'shit' in the text...)
And how does it work? Beep? "It was the ever best f*beep* in h*beep*!"
NetBSD has, in general, quite good code for both reading and understanding. Have a look!

It's like saying UK houses having lots of rats are good because it shows people have left-over food. Gah.
Err, that is incorrect. NTNU (Norway) and KTH (Sweden) was the western European winners. They finished 7th and 8th in the finals.
The definition is a kilogram because the abovementioned lump of metal is one kilogram. A redefinition may ofcourse change this.

The screenshots show a single user boot. NetBSD first booted single user on the Dreamcast October 17th this year.
