I guess it has some consistency -- the shortcuts are the same for Danish, and, I presume, Norwegian.
But you're right. It bugs me when I occasionally is being forced to use Outlook/Word on a computer with a Danish locale. Screw all localization, let's just all agree on using English for computers....and force all Americans to use the international date format, ISO 8601.
In Danish the word is "skattely", which could be translated as (a) "tax shelter". In Icelandic it's "skattaskjól" and, assuming "skjól" is like the Danish word "skjul", it'd translate into "tax hideout".
KODA, the Danish equivalent of RIAA, had a case in Højesteret (Danish High Court) in 2003 that basically said that when you're at work, the broadcast licence rules for companies is in effect, even if you're a single trucker in a truck. Only a few articles in Danish media covered it then. Here's the official statement from KODA at the time and a Google translation here

I've been following it somewhat, but that wasn't really my point, but rather that the Internet exists outside the USA as well. The OpenNIC servers I use reside in Germany, Sweden and UK. While I don't doubt the powers of the USA government, or the amount of pressure they can (and will if needed) put on foreign countries, I sincerely doubt that would be successful in taking down all OpenNIC servers at once.
How? You are aware that US FCC can't regulate the whole of the internet, right? At most it can try to block access to OpenNIC servers from the US, but then it's just a matter of a bit of tunneling DNS requests...
I guess it was a joke, but it should be rather simple to determine: if the gas if lighter than the atmosphere you're breathing, your voice will be lighter if you inhale this.
Since everyone on Slashdot blocks ads anyway, what about just providing access to raw "news" entries and comments in some other way. Seperate design and content. You know, like (La)TeX. Come to think of it, I guess the perfect Slashdot would be a news group. It'd even deal with the unicode "problems"...
The worst thing about the top bar is that it breaks using page down to navigate the site. A page down in Firefox scrolls just a bit too much, so that you either have to press up two times or use the scroll wheel. If I wanted to use the scroll wheel, I'd have used it instead of pushing page down. Argh!
With more recent versions of Xorg, its probing works great and in many cases eliminates the need for an Xorg.conf. Granted, I haven't messed a lot around with Xorg lately, but when I last did a few months ago, it worked great without an Xorg.conf. If you haven't tried yet, give it a go!
Install openssh-server Install rsync -- well, it's probably already installed Install a webserver of a kind, e.g. lighttpd (that's what I normally use).
Of course you can do it on Windows, it's just easier on Unix/Linux. SSH and rsync functions the same no matter what system, and is installed on practically all machines.
I'm looking to buy a new phone in a few months. My current Nokia 6300 has lasted for almost 3 years, and is beginning to act a bit weird at times. I had a look at the Nokia N900 a few days ago and was amazed at the price compared to the specifications and the price point of other smartphones. Qwerty keyboard, 800x480 display, Maemo 5. Here in Denmark I can buy a new and unlocked for 375 EUR, though I'm tempted to find a used one on eBay -- the price there starts around 200 EUR for a slighty used.

As carbon monoxide is CO, wouldn't it make sense if it was able to somehow get hold of another O and turn into CO2?

I guess it could be considered rude to speak something other than English here, so I'll provide a translation before I get lynched:

Enough with malfunctioning rockets.
How many payloads have gone to waste because of rocket failures, and at what cost? Enough to explore the idea of a sort of launch loop?
I must be doing something wrong.

I think you mean "colon inches". Big difference.
Yes. Installing SSH and rsync in cygwin, and a random webserver for Windows. Shouldn't take long.

Install a webserver of a kind, e.g. lighttpd (that's what I normally use).
If you use lighttpd, just follow these steps:
You might want to secure your server more, firewall etc. Check out fail2ban.
Of course you can do it on Windows, it's just easier on Unix/Linux. SSH and rsync functions the same no matter what system, and is installed on practically all machines.
