  1. Re:ID Required in France on France May Require Biometric ID Cards · · Score: 2, Informative

    I work as a police officer in a Schengen country and spent last year working at an international airport where I did boarder control. When traveling between two Schengen countries you are required to have a valid travel ID with you. In most cases this is a passport since only a few countries have other travel ID's. People, including EU citizens, are stopped at random for an ID check at Schengen boarders. Now im working in a small town and just last weekend I asked a EU-citizen to show me his travel ID so it does happen (although rather rarely)

  2. Re:Precedent and common law on Jon Johansen Breaks iTunes DRM Yet Again · · Score: 1

    Well not only the written law. The source of law (n. rettskilde) is what counts in most (if not all) nordic countries and that includes precident. In his book "Um lög og lögfræði" Sigurður Líndal professor emeritus lists the sources of law as a total of 12, precident beeing the third.

  3. Re:too bad it's not iceland on Swedish Pirate Demo · · Score: 1

    IAAI (celander) There is no such thing as "Scandinavian", in Iceland we learn Danish as a 2nd language (except people who have lived in another Nordic country, they can learn that country's language). Danish Swedish and Norwegian are similar so if you speak one you can manage in the others. BTW "son of a bitch" is tikarsonur (with i acute)

  4. Re:This was finally got me off Microsoft. on Microsoft Plans to Create Local Language Software · · Score: 1

    Actually Win98 came out in Icelandic and I think I remember seeing someone from Microsoft Iceland on the news a few weeks ago announicing the transilation of Windows and Office to Icelandic.

  5. Re:Loki a Norse God? on LGP brings back Loki, Kind Of · · Score: 1

    Well, as i recall Loki did it out of jealousy, not vengeance. And I would say that getting a blind guy to throw the ONLY thing that could kill Baldur at him was a little bit more than contributing to his death.. but that's just me.. :

  6. Re:Invalid Domain names on Los Angeles Gets Own TLD · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually it's really easy to type 'é' you just press the 'Â' key (it's next to 'æ', under 'Ã' and above 'þ') then you press 'e'. :-)

    But seriously I think there are alot of companies (and individuals) that would like to use letters that aren't in the english alphabet in their domain names e.g. for sites that are not intended to be viewed outside their country.

  7. Re:OT wanderings on President Of India Advocates OSS · · Score: 1

    "He used what grownups call an analogy. It's a common method of illustrating a point with a structurally similar or parallel situation, but from a different context or field." And my post was a (poor) attempt at humor and a cheapshot at americans, I even put a smiley (an icelandic variant that doesn't look good in this font) to ward off fuckers like yourself..

    So I expect you belong in the "most audible" group since you compare people outside the good old U.S of A to dogs... :
