    Agree when it comes to Word, but Excel is another story

  2. Re:Doesn't everyone run in classic? on The Condescending UI · · Score: 1

    Haven't got access to change to classic at work because of locked down environment. But even if I had, there's no Office "Classic" mode. Been using ribbons for quite a while now, and it's still not logical.

  3. Re:This is madness on US Senator Proposes Bill To Eliminate Overtime For IT Workers · · Score: 1

    It's exactly the minimum wage for working at McDonalds in Norway.

  6. Only in US on Steve Jobs Wanted an iPhone-Only Wireless Network · · Score: 2

    "One of the more profound ways that the iPhone changed the mobile industry was the fact that it upended the relationship between the handset maker and the wireless carrier."

    Most of the world already had this

  7. We're doing the same in Norway on Oxford City Council Mandates CCTV Cameras In Taxies by 2015 · · Score: 2

    But there it's the taxi drivers that are getting tired of being accused of rape, and not the government. Actually, they're arguing against it.

  8. Re:A new kind of TV...... on Sony Racing Apple To Develop 'a New Kind of TV' · · Score: 1

    Same as apple is doing?

    I find that 95% of the people claiming Gimp is no replacement for Photoshop could do what they use Photoshop for in Gimp. There might be a 5% chance that you actually do need Photoshop - just saying!

    By using cash from big business? Or not...

    Will have to require a sanity test first to be included in the poll

  13. Re:Better idea on Scott Adams Proposes a Fourth Branch of Government · · Score: 1

    Could've been a good excuse, if it was true. If you look at that list, and compare it with almost any other list, you'll see that it's the same countries that are always ahead of you (assuming "you" are US). There has got to be something in it. I'm not saying that there's no corruption where I live (Norway), but I'll bet you a lot of US dollars that it's less than in US. Also - I'll bet you there are a a lot of hidden corruption there too. Actually, I think a lot of what is legal in US would be defined as corruption in Norway.

    Disclaimer - I've got 5 years of experience from working with FCPA and similar

    Not to forget countries... Norway owned 1% of all the shares in the world a couple of years ago, probably increased a bit now.

    99% in US, yes, but US isn't global.

  21. Re:"Free" money on Ron Paul Wants To End the Federal Student Loan Program · · Score: 1

    You must be joking? The first payment is 6 months after graduation here i Norway as well. And I don't think it's much different in any other country around us either.

    Sounds like you have a glorified view of our life. Yeah - it's better than what Americans have, but it's not all happy-happy-go-go either. I can also tell you that after 3 years in a country with free higher education, I'd paid >$25k in tuition fees

    Anyhow, Ron Paul is attacking from the wrong angle - it's the for profit colleges and universities that should be regulated, not removing the student loans. The only outcome of this would be even fewer Americans with higher education - which is exactly what the country needs - right?
