From the article:
A Rural Explanation? Hardly
One of the rationales often given for lower broadband penetration in the U.S. is that low population density makes broadband deployment, especially in rural areas, considerably more expensive in the U.S. than among more dense populations in countries such as Korea, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. That argument falters, however, when one considers that five of the 11 nations that lead the U.S. in per capita broadband penetration, including Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Canada, have significantly lower population densities than the U.S.
years to create, weeks to break- sounds about right. I see an incredible business opportunity here.
Make a deal with MPAA and hire people to follow each sold HD-DVD/Blueray disc to make sure it's viewed only on legal hardware. Might make a few billions on this...
Because he has the power to and will to file a lawsuit and Apple is clearly in breach of Norwegian laws. Unless DRM is removed, it can not be considered fair use which means you can copy your music from the iPod to PC to cassette deck for all I care or 78 rpm records. Apple will be found guilty, no doubt about it. I have never seen a more blatant breach of the laws as is the case here.

100% incorrect. Stars are born right now that will last billions of years longer than the sun. Stars don't die out all at the same time.
Doesn''t work against my company who uses Cisco VPN.
I'm more interested in getting Cisco IP-Communicator under Linux since it is the last program I need Windows to run and it doesn't run under any form of emulation.
Well, we just declared independence from Greenland and the new country is called GWII (Global Warming Independent island) and I have installed myself as GWIIP!
i just love faggots who have to beat their message into others. no wonder most people ignore atheists... your PR is done by assholes. If you love faggots, come around. I have a few friends who would fuck you in the ass. Besides, atheism is not an organization and I'm sure my friends will convince you about that after a few minutes...
Well, I live in USA but I'm a citizen of a country that probably will not be required to fingerprint, Norway. It is the best passport to have when traveling around the world. In places were I have seen Americans be scrutinized thoroughly, I have been waived through with a big grin from the passport officials. I have driven through dozens of borders and only shown the passport from the window and been waived on, most of the times they never even bother to open and look at it.
If you are a world traveler, the American passport is more of a hinder than anything else.
I can teach you how-to in 5 minutes. Nothing difficult. The difficult part is to get the materials needed and to get your hands on the equipment needed like milling or polishing machines with the required tolerances etc.
These warning labels are a social curiosity found in USA.
When I first moved here I was totally cracking up at all the stupid warnings you have on everything. Why are they there? Because of a horrible justice system and not because you want to warn people about the obvious but to avoid paying millions and millions to idiots.
Your justice system is long overdue for a total overhaul, it is horrific at best.
How many people need Final Cut Pro?
I have no idea what it is and I probably will never have any use for it
I find the article in macworld to be of similar quality as if Windows magazine had done the same comparison and found Vista to beat OSX hands down. I'm so impressed! NOT!

You REALLY need to cut down on your sugar intake...
LOL here is one with reading problems..
He said that USA created it. No, it was not USA but as you said several countries. DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE?
Make a deal with MPAA and hire people to follow each sold HD-DVD/Blueray disc to make sure it's viewed only on legal hardware. Might make a few billions on this...
man, you are dumber than the average American. Read up on UN and the security council. USA did not create it, you moron,
And you believe this because?
How easy do you think it is to get hold if the 'evidence" presented? No very difficult no. But, the article mentions nothing about nuclear devices.
You are right! USA is a member of the Security Council!

Luckily, my home country is smarter than this. Norway is already pounding on Apple and when DRM is gone, thank Norway!
Utterly stupid. 18 year is way too high. Where I come from it's 15. When I was that age in the early 70's we fucked like rabbits.
IMNSHO, this is not an issue for the legal system at all.
But he is wrong in the essay...

Well, the real joke is "The land of the free" bullshit.
Ahhhh... yes... The National Championship in Armpitoval!

I loved playing Hexen II, I still have the game and i would have loved to see a Hexen III.
Any other Hexen fans?
His new mantra is "Beam me up a scotch!"

Bilingual? I haven't been bilingual since I was 10. I speak 7 languages and i wonder how long I will live...
It sounds bigger in metric!
