Normally a superior solution (like a bank card) would out phase another, but what is happening here is that the banks are working hard to to make cashless "fashionable modern".
Swedish people hate to not be "modern" and embrace it without any second thought.
There are shops not accepting cash and this is considered a "Good Thing".
Most bank offices are "cashless"
I have heard swedes argue that we must remove the cash, because it costs to much.
Banks have done a good PR job.
There needs to be better regulation for protecting against this.
And the latest developments with FB and more has proven him right.
Yes, he is a bit extreme, but then again he needs to be.
And I for one am glad he is out there, fighting for us who have given up.
>Anyone who runs a Facebook app on their phone literally deserves whatever happens to them.
The problem is that people don't know or understand what they signed up for.
Facebook is exploiting this.
On my phone it came pre-installed.
It took some serious searching to figure that it could not be deinstalled, but desactivated.
I did like this. I disabled FB, but kept messenger.(google it).
I am still reachable for my "FB friends" and groupchats discussing things.
Like quitting smoking step by step.
Also look into Signal, the sound&video quality is actually the real selling point, encryption is bonus.
Go to your local librarian, and spend the afternoon at the library and see what you like.
Note that there is hardback comics, like Tintin etc.
Superhero comics often require a certain knowledge of the backstory.
They went after to manage all 3, cheap, good (enough) AND fast.
After years of re-investing basically all profit in logistics they are hard to beat.
By inviting other companies to their market place, they basically have all data of all other sellers.
Then they take the high profit products and make Amazon copies, taking the profit.
Amazon entering any market is the online equivalent of Walmart opening next door to your little shop.
Basically the proposition raises the maximum punishment and divides it into 2 categories
1. If you download something at home for "private use", the punishment will be fines and possibly UP TO MAXIMUM 2 years of prison.
2. If you start a business where you make money of pirating content, you may go to prison 6 month UP TO MAXIMUM 6 years.
Original proposition + google translate.

How does one pronounce "azure"? I've heard AHZ-uhr, ey-ZUHR, Escher, as-YURE and a few others...
You pronounce it like the French Riviera, The Côte d'Azur
(French pronunciation: [kot dazy] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Might require some wine before attempting.
Recommend eating cheese just to be safe.
Who would have thought an unverifiable, exceptional claim of 99% efficacy
You good sir might want to Reread The Friendly Article.
The article clearly states that at an average the success rate is estimated to 93%.
7% of the women report getting pregnant, so the number seems to fit very well
93% is also stated on their home page : https://www.naturalcycles.com/
(99% was a number stated if the app was used in strict compliance, but they know it isn't.)
Yes but you forget that while you have around 1million plane trips per day, you have 1 gazillion police encounters in the same time. And they only kill in 1 out of a gazillion encounters.
So statically it is safer than planes, except for reality.
First I thought it was 1st of April...
because "Skum" in Swedish means "shady",
and I read "maniac" for the end.
"Mr Shadymaniac", but then I realized it is not yet.
But the name is fitting.
Thinking to MMS him a picture of my 5 month son taking a bath.
That should put him away.
What's his cell phone number?
Yeah - it doesn't seem like it will be sustainable.
It is sustainable, since you have to be accepted, based solely on your grades, not your parents financial situation.
That way the best strudents are accepted, which is good for the country.
Yes, it is hard to get filthy rich, on the other hand it is hard to get really poor too. A middleway between GreedCapitalism and RedCommunism which happened to turn out quite well.
As for the winters, I can say I am putting my hopes to the global warming
One name comes to mind after RTA:
Anthony Palermo.
""I don't view it as violating any privacy data at all," said Anthony Palermo, vice present of marketing at Knology."
1. Find his adress
2. Intercept his snailmail (which later is returned).
3. Scan it and post it to our small group of Slashdotters.
4. Ask him if he thinks that this is a violation of his privacy?
5. ??
6. Profit!

Do you even believe that yourself?
And here I thought that you actually achieved the main objective... Iraqies are busy trying to just find clean water and food and don't mind that US companies are now controlling the oil.
Why do you want to start another war anyway? I thought war=bad, peace=good.
Could you please elaborate on why it would be good to start another war? (Yes, I am actually really interested to hear your response)
It depends on the implementation. There is no Quality of Service connected to sending SMS, so if there is a flood of SMS coming, the operator normally caches them and send them at a conveniant time. Or just throw them, since the is no QoS connected.
A little like when the postman gets tired of carrying your letters and throws some of them.
We are seeing the exact same thing happening in old democratic West-country Italy with the "licence to blogg" discussion. Also remember that most, if not all, TV stations in Italy is privately owned.
And speaking of democracies. Most networks in the US are controlled and loyal to either a party and/or some company. Political inconvenient news never really make it to your local FOX news cast for instance.
At least the Russian Bear is a known evil, Uncle Sam seems so nice, but is basically just another bully from school, using force, fear and intimidation to get his way around. Tell me again the difference between Treblinka and Guantanamo, Vaterland and Homeland, S.S. and Secret Service?
Maybe our "Kremlin" already has us controlled? *puts on tinfoil hat*
Slashdot Mirror
They are running out of garbage, for real.
In the end they will burn it controlled for heating.

All those years of downloading pirated games of strange sites and learning to avoid virus/malware/ransomware is finally be paying of for these gamers!

*Face-palm*?
My guess is a generic Android phone with "Palm" slapped on the back.
Maybe even a startscreen and wallpaper with the logo!

You mean "moon shattering"...

Should it not be iSLAM, a combined religion and basketballteam in one...
