Yeah, although the problem is that for everyone of those theories theres a small crowd of people that everyone of them are convinced that they have solved it.
Oh its been solved a lot of times, but never to the satisfaction of the courts and the public. The investigation was botched from the start as the chief of police in stockholm had decided for himself that it was kurdish separatists that shot Palme. An alcoholic career criminal called Christer Pettersson was eventually prosecuted for the murder at least twice, but the conviction was never upheld in the appeals court due to the evidence being very weak and circumstantial.
A lot of crackpots, including the former police chief of stockholm, have been publishing theories ranging from the CIA, Mossad, PKK and the KGB as the culprits. Thers a couple movies as well, one of them pointing the finger at a south african assassin.
We have lobbyists here too, but they dont donate money to politicians or have silly fundraiser parties. Elections in Sweden are largely financed by the government, all political partys get a disbursement based on their result in the previous election.
I recently bought a SonyEricsson P1 mobile phone and installed a MobiPocket reader on it and it works very well. I flip the screen and then its almost like reading a pocketbook. Theres a 512 Mbyte flash card in the phone as standard which is quite enough for hundreds of books if you want to. An excellent choice as you only need one device for everything that fits nicely in a pocket. Well worth checking out.
Guantanamo and what goes on there is a festering sore on the entire western world. People are locked up for having a beard and being in the wrong place, this is well known. All the pseudo-legal ranting and raving about non-military combattants and so on is just a way to avoid the Geneva convention. Noone would be allowed to treat prisoners of war like the inmates at Guantanamo are. So you do need all the propaganda you can get.
I was trained as a NBC specialist for a swedish civil defence unit in the mid nineties and we had a comprehensive education about nerve agents and countermeasures. The Swedish armed forces and civil defence units had autoinjectors with atropine and a combination of enzymes. The enzymes were developed by the army and helped counteract the toxicity of the nerve agents. It was a single injector, not several as other countries use.
Valium in low doses was also to be distributed when there was a danger of chemical attack, it has no effect on the nerve agents but supposedly reduced panic and would help you get the protective gear on faster, lol.
I doubt that any really effective antidotes can be made to nerve agents. The lethal dose is so small even with the weakest ones like Tabun and Sarin and they are so fast acting.
I think most of you are missing the point.
Im a teacher and work with kids 6-12 years old. Kids dont need a full PC setup with bells and whistles to use a computer in a way that assists their learning. 90% of our computer use is surfing for info, mainly on wikipedia and google, and simple text editing. The kids dont use email much, they prefer IM and all of them have MSN accounts that doesnt work in our network anyway. The most popular computing device we have is a couple of Alphasmarts.
Why ? Because its easy, small, light and no hassle at all to use. Its a lot faster than the laptops we have both to turn on and off and occupies less space and its quiet. The fact that you can bounce it off the desk without breaking it or losing the contents helps as well. Ruggedness and ease of use goes a long way even in a first-world country.
Considering that the Panzerfaust and the Bazooka both are WWII technology, the SAM, TOW and anti-ship missile is 60:s tech it shouldnt be hard for an engineer or two to reverse-engineer that kind of military hardware and build small quantities in a basement or garage.
Technomancy is much more reliable, just train an imp to flip a coin and how to convert from binary to decimal. Of course youll have to feed the imp from time to time...
Sounds to me like it would make sense to keep the "power" over the net in as many hands as possible. More redundancy and duplication of key functions thats physically separated must be a good thing, right ? Less potential for some nutter to disrupt the flow of information, deliberately or by accident.
Yeah it's amazing how these idiots seem to stumble upon such solutions as defeating Nazism, winning the Cold War, and propelling the greatest economic machine the world has ever seen. Not to mention ENDING slavery and developing a political system that is the envy of everyone who values freedom.
Oh dearie me. Woodrow Wilson is one of the main architects behind the Versailles treaty, the very thing that set off the little corporals (Hitler that is) rise to power. The Cold war was in part made possible by mistakes Roosevelt and Truman made, Churchill for instance warned them about Stalin and his ideas. The great economic machine, yes, for some reason unlimited access to growing markets, cheap labor and plentiful natural resources seems to have that effect.
Slavery was abolished in most European countries long before there was substantial support for that in the US. (Sweden for instance made slavery illegal in the 13th or 14th century) As for envying the political system, im not sure I wanna go there...
It would be fun to see politicians talk about science and their understanding of it, but in some cases it would just be too much. For instance, here in Sweden one of the hot topics is that apparently politicial blogs are read almost exclusively by : Other politicians! Surprise surprise ! Maybe this is something GWB should think about, he could go around reading Science (the magazine) and try to explain it to the audience. I bet he would fill more arenas than Larry the Cable guy.
As I understand it many types of unleaded gasoline have other additives that are designed to do what the lead compounds did to some extent. Wikipedia has a decent article on it : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unleaded_gasoline
...will mean that you sedate all passengers before boarding, stuff them into individual containers and load the plane up. No seats needed so passenger density should be able to increase by at least 100-150%. In coach you dont get an individual container of course, you just get a canvas bag.
The cable networks in Sweden are still analog or a mix of digital and analog and theres no announced time limits on when this will go all digital from the main cable providers.
Makes you wonder where all this paranoia will end, doesnt it ? If the no-fly list really has as many as 750k people on it maybe its time to take a step back and consider if the criteria for getting on it arent just a teensy bit farked up.
A modern view of christianity is that war and murder are both immoral. The old testament is as much a collection of laws as a historical document of the tribes of Israel. The new testament is the 2.0 "upgrade" which fixes some bugs, among them the concept of turning the other cheek and the idea that a two wrongs dont make a right.
I guess differentiating between murder and killing is a necessary thing if you want to justify the death penalty and war. I wouldnt call that a "modern" view of christianity though.
Yes, we have a guaranteed right to free speech which is at least as strong as the one the US is supposed to have.
The main reason that this has gotten so much press is that we have an unusual foreign minister here in Sweden that most people have strong opinions about.
Its a given that time between releases of major operating systems will keep on increasing. The ever mounting complexity due to demands on performance, useability and the obligatory bloatware addons will mean that you buy an operating system once every ten years maybe and that the beta period will be multiple years.
I have two computers running XP at home and I dont understand why I would "upgrade" to Vista. It doesnt give me anything that I need and will only cost me money. If I want a OS that looks cool Ill use my iBook, macOS X is ten times prettier than Vista anyway.
...that the pictures from Mars are actually old Apollo pictures which have been colorized. Yep. They took the pictures that were left over from Stanley Kubricks Biggest Hoax, the "Lunar Landing", and colorized them, pasted in a mockup of a mars-lander and hey presto! Martian pictures.
It is a well known fact that the "Moon" doesn't even exist, much less "Mars". And We all know where the pyramids came from, dont we ? Just ask MacGyver, uh sorry, Colonel O'Neill.

No, I use MobiPocket reader for it, I have used it before on a palm so I already had a nice collection of ebooks in .prc format. Works like a charm.

What do you mean laundry ? I leave all my dirty clothes in the hamper upstairs by the washing machine. Mom returns them to me when they are clean.
Oh I really like what you americans have done with your legal system!
