I'm amazed that so many slashdotters (who are probably pretty tech savvy) receive (and keep!) so much stuff on paper. The only papers I keep are signed documents and receipts for somewhat expensive things I've bought. All bills are delivered electronically to my online bank (I live in Sweden), and with a "No junk mail please" note on my mailbox the only mail I get is interesting/important letters and directly addressed junk mail. Bills from companies I haven't registered for electronic billing with (new contracts or one-time business) I just trow in the paper recycling bin. My only problem is papers with more or less sensitive personal information on them, for now I just keep them in a box, but I'm planning on getting a small shredder so that I can throw them in the recycling bin as well.
A Swedsh company called Sectra has made secure cellphones for years. Their latest model is the only cellphone certified to the security level NATO SECRET by NATO.
I think you're wrong. For 99% of the users IE does exactly what it's supposed to do, and no, the users aren't suffering. The web designers are the suffering ones, and there aren't just an awful lot of them compared to the number of users. Techlically IE is a lot worse than Firefox in many ways, but from a user perspective it's not.
At the moment, the swedish store only accepts Amex. It also seems to be kind of messed up, several artists with no songs, incorrectly priced albums (at least one album is set at 9.99 kr, which should be around $1.50) etc.
These things will probably be sorted out soon. The only thing really bothering me is that the music selection i pretty bad. I wanna shop in the american store:-(
If you're a suscriber there's a link to report "problems" with an article. I reported this one and many before it as dupes. Sometimes it helps (perhaps if enough people complain about a story), sometimes it doesn't.
Yes, sites could get flagged for different reasons, but they'd still have to be reviewed and manually blocked by Google staff to disappear from the search results.
Do you really think MS wants to hire women to lure the male workers into coming to work? Sounds pretty wierd to me.
I have read a few articles about how mixed gender groups work better together than groups with only males or only females, I'd say that's a more likely reason.
I guess the question is if something like AdBlock can filter out these without getting a lot of false positives, making the browser render of a lot of pages incorrectly.
I just got a new 4G iPod (have a 3G as well), sometimes Apple lets people who bought their product just before a release upgrade them, but perhaps that's only when the same model gets cheaper or a model is replaced by a better one at the same price.
Mostly negative comments so far. I think this is a very good thing. If the other option is no wifi at all, I'd go for the ad-sponsored one any day. I wouldn't mind the ads as I would only use the connection temporarly.
I remember this pretty cool app, I think it was on slashdot a few years back. It made your browser look like another program, say Visual studio or Word, at least from a distance. Anybody know what I'm talking about? I never got to try it out, and I haven't been able to find it ever since.
I have never seen a single ad for the iPod here in Sweden, except on websites of course. I still se people with iPod's almost every day. Cool products like the iPod get a lot of word-of-mouth marketing, that shouldn't be underestimated.

Didn't they watch Jurassic park?
Couldn't agree more, the best thing you can do is to just listen and ask a leading question here and there.
No, the Swedish Police has confirmed the raid.
I said the company was Swedish, which it is:
Sectra Communications AB
Teknikringen 20
SE-583 30 Linköping
Sweden
URL: www.sectra.se
Also: "The NSK 200 system is based on the Sectra Tiger platform. Sectra developed the NSK 200 system in close cooperation with the Norwegian defense."

This page was slashdotted before the story went public. Sigh.

They have a simple touch sensor under every tile, RTFA.

I think any slashdotter who'd try to get a free iPod this way would create a new e-mail address *before* signing up for stuff.
I think the interface has some nice advantages over Firefox, but it desperately needs a more minimalistic theme.

How about renting something, stop paying and not return the item? Because that's exactly what this is about.

At least you got turned on...
Damn that's sad. Don't they have checklists for these things??
It might be more expensive because the sales tax aren't included in the american price?
There's one picture at apple.com.
