if it's your personal computer, to which only you have access, you're not going to be able to provide a good case that you didn't know unless it's something like a few thumbnails in deleted browser cache files.
What if, hypothetically speaking, the computer's been in someone else's physical possession for a few days? Perhaps at a repair shop or something?
In Finland there's an air about being a center-socialist leaning government [...] I think the stereotype of scandinavia as ultra liberal touchy-feelie is inaccurate
You visited two countries then?

Thanks for narrowing it down. We'd already worked out the country.
Interfering in the market when if they just leave it alone people will switch supplier if they get bad speeds.
Next they'll be taking everybody's guns, introducing socialised medicine and allowing poofters to get married. Married to other bloomin' poofters, that is.
If the percentages that complete a STEM degree don't match the population as a whole, then a workforce that focuses on STEM will never match the population as a whole.
But they aren't applying for those courses because when they graduate they won't get jobs!

Most companies don't/can't include that information.
We know HR aren't the sharpest tools in the drawer, but if they can't work it out when they see the name Winston Kodogo on the application form I suspect they'll probably pick it up at the interview.
You dodged the obvious trap, but "enough" is still somewhat subjective. Organisms that live around hydrothermal vents probably wouldn't find the surface of the Mediterranean "warm enough", though plenty of algae love it.

I take it you've never met a Scot.
They fly back from two weeks in Spain and they're like chalk. On the way out they're transparent.
You lost me. You're Dutch? Or you're going to literally commit sabotage?
I'm OK at crosswords, but at least tell us how many letters.
You wrote: "the numbers will reach some kind of natural equilibrium that is close to the numbers in the wider population"
Here's a dictionary definition of quotas: "a proportional part or share of a fixed total amount or quantity. "

Seriously, I'm obsessed?

Ever been in a bookshop? Novels aren't in the non-fiction section, mainly because they're fiction.
While I don't dispute there was the attitude that getting off the boat five years ago makes *us* proper Americans, I think you're stretching it a bit.
Do you have tarpaulin grommets in your ears and wear a beret?
If the answer is yes then you already know.
If the answer is no then you're a square old daddy-o and just wouldn't get it.
For all the posturing, I'm pretty sure they just don't grok the whole Linux thing.
And anyway, Red Hat already have a huge head start.
Flip a coin.
It's not illegal to discriminate against unlucky people, is it?
Is there any need for the knife? I thought they could just self-identify these days.
So basically you're in favour of quotas.

Find the mysterious forces, go ENE and when you get to the sinister cabal turn left for 20 paces.
Well at least you can't accuse them of hypocrisy - it's exactly what they do among themselves back home.
I'd wonder if these sores I've started getting are due to those new blankets we got last week.
Can we choose which one we self-identify as having?
That beats non-Western medicine by an amount roughly equal to categories and statistics.

Do they make the transients more isotropic and give a warmer soundstage?

I'd guess the latter, since if tech firms discriminated against the Bungalowdeshi kind they'd have almost no employees.
*golf clap*
And put a headphone jack, but make it one of those olde-style ones that's as thick as a pencil.

You can't say that. The acceptable term is "epicanthically endowed".
You dodged the obvious trap, but "enough" is still somewhat subjective. Organisms that live around hydrothermal vents probably wouldn't find the surface of the Mediterranean "warm enough", though plenty of algae love it.
Which matters, because you totally can't write Leningrad, glasnost or chernozem without them.
