What is there to add to the databse in the first place? I don't know what data it's supposed to share but I assume they already know the name (and "social security number" or whatever your equivalent of "personal number" is.)
The (Swedish) government already have me as a number, and has had since my birth, they know my name, the number is on my drivers license, heck, it was even on all the list of pupils in all the classes back in school.
I assume the BankID foremost just certifies that whoever use that certificate is the person with that personal number.
So yeah, the tax registration unit will know that the guy accepting the tax declaration was the guy those declaration it was. Ohhh! Scary shit!
Sorry if I don't get the problem. If it's about global network intelligence and snapping up any certification logins where whatever data is public but others is not and they can find out who I was since I had to prove it that way or whatever then maybe.
He may be talking about something like our Swedish BankID.
It doesn't hold your passwords, it's not used for facebook, but with, guess what? Banks.
What it lets me do is to either login to my bank by some other means (most likely external password generator with pin code) or (at one of the banks at least..) fetch a new code by SMS to a phone number I've given them when registering for the account. After identifying by whatever mean of those I've got the possibility to generate some sort of BankID certificate which I then could use for instance to prove that I was I when I wanted to set up a different bank account on a bank which only does business online. Most likely since they trust the issuer of the certificate which told me I was who I claimed to be.
The application handling the certificates want pretty long (12+ chars?) passwords.
Would I want to _HAVE_ to use that on any page online with no option to be more anonymous / be able to lie? No.
Is it comfortable that I can identify myself by using it when setting up new bank accounts, login into my bank, order papers from the government or sign my tax declaration? Yes.
I'm not sure but I've seen a page describing it as if they can get "previews" of orders anyway so then speed of the transfers doesn't matter much at all.
If there are 10.000x for sale at 10 dollars and 5.000x at 10.1 dollars, and you get a preview of a purchase there someone tries to buy say 8.000x, put in a purchase of 10.000x at 10 yourself and send your order before the other order is passed then guess who wins? Then sell the 10.000x again at 10.1 == profit (unless price drop for the 5+10-8 = 7.000 you still hold in this example but whatever.)
I don't know if that was really an option they did provided for some or not.
Also if there are say volumes of 4.000 stocks at 9.90, 9.80, 9.70 and sales of 4.000 at 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 and you put an order of 500.000 at 10.0 and get 4.000 then guess what? No-one will get to buy at 9.90 and no-one want to be in your queue so prices will most likely raise (?), sell anything you get at 10.1 or 10.2 if people start to up their bids to 10.1 to get above yours.
Maybe. As a private person I don't think you're allowed to have one order of each within the system. I have no idea if anyone else is allowed to.
Why? It's a shitty card and it's not like there are any games which need any weird surround effect features of it in Linux anyway. And Creative drivers and support isn't the best around even in Windows.
So why?
What about the ASUS Xonar?
Or maybe some generic USB sound interfaces work? I don't know if they can do higher bit-rates that way but if they can I assume the require very little work and may still have a nice sound quality. Eventually suck for latency though?
I've had two. First once got keys (m-key?) within weeks, had it replaced for a new one but the cable connecting it to the computer got lose so it doesn't work longer and was out of warranty. Don't know if I will bother to short and solder it or just get a new one. Type on a truly shitty Logitech Access now.
But it was just a retarded truck driver who had drove them over.
People started to talk about fish, bees and some idiots about electromagnetic waves from phone antennas, UFOs, (US) government supposedly spraying barium, strontium and so on into the atmosphere showing pictures of planes with regular trails and saying "OMG OMG OMG!"... Oh well. And the bees (actually) died from some Monsanto (?) poisoning which also happened to kill bees, which was known.
Funny how everything bad comes from Monsanto but anyway:)
Do I even really need to argue why? How would it feel even remotely close? How well will you feel what you touch or even more important that you're hitting the right key?
Shitty quality of the first one but nicest typing experience so far. Don't really know if I want a straight keyboard any more. Not nice for the wrists.
Considering they won't pick SU-47 (as in it's never been in service) and first flight was 1997 I would be pretty confident the X-29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_X-29) is pre-dating it.
In September 2008, it successfully ran a stack of HP servers in a tent for seven months, apparently with no failures.
So they weren't actually running microsoft software on those servers?
I put my IRC server in a window once.
It failed. Maybe it was because I where running NetBSD (or possibly OpenBSD, don't remember?)
(Long story, changed location, more machines running, 27+ degrees C room temperature => crashing server multiple times / week => open window with server just inside => crashing once more =P)
Was late autumn though, guess desktop PCs don't like moisture and zero degree conditions.
I don't know why it was odd that a Swedish one happen to be able to do it. Just because it's not Russian or what? =P
Regarding Viggen development (en.wikipedia): "In 1960, the U.S. National Security Council, led by President Eisenhower, formulated a military security guarantee for Sweden. The U.S. promised to help the Swedish militarily in the event of a Soviet attack against Sweden; both countries signed a military-technology agreement. In what was known as the "37-annex", Sweden was allowed access to advanced U.S. aeronautical technology which made it possible to design and produce the Saab 37 Viggen much faster and cheaper than would otherwise have been possible.[5]
According to the doctoral research of Nils Bruzelius at the Swedish National Defence College, the reason for this officially unexplained U.S. support was the need to protect U.S. Polaris submarines deployed just outside the Swedish west coast against the threat of Soviet anti-submarine aircraft.[5]"

Show those bastards you mean business by sending me all of your cool mac gear for free.
Sorry, no can do. You see, he's a Google employee.

I need the Window key since it's the option key in OS X.

So make ramjet drones with ability to mount humans instead of bombs ;)
This kinda predates them both, but a hell of a margin:

As everything amazing Nazi-Germany made it first. Proof we need more wars to keep aeronautic and space science going ;D

Sure, same wings, not as evil color though :D
Close the doors on all the "buildings" in Rosengård and move it all to Somalia or something ..
Water world! ;)

This is already a solved problem. See railroads for more info.
That's good and all. But they where Swedish and we haven't solved the problems with our railroads ;)
Kinda internal though, you must be Swedish or at least had traveled by rail the last couple of years, preferably during the winter, in Sweden.
It used to work. But so did many things :)
Same as the mean time for most things involving teenagers - about 3 minutes
Being a /. member I'm not aware: What are the average reference time for a normal procedure data dump involving human sex terminal linkage?
Working in a barn or working with Windows? *bing badda bang*
And who will handle all the dung?
"Where did that foul smell came from?"
So on so on .. :D

It doesn't fly like a boomerang :/

In that case how would the B-2 bomber fly? Like a porcelain plate hanging in mid air just in the way plates does not? =P
Sweden actually had quite a few planes back in the days:

They have been scrapping lots of Viggens :(, should had given them to me instead.
Wtf, wrong video posted under draken :(
Should had been:
J 35 Draken (01.55 02.05 02.13):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqiDEcfSnXs
Cobra maneuver:

Draken (01.55 02.05 02.13):

No such thing in the JAS 39 promotional video :/

Like maybe the SR-71 "Blackbird"...which certainly looked stealthy, although in reality wasn't.
Not very much needed if you travel faster than the missiles anyway ;)
At that time that is :)
Cool plane, sad you've got rid of it, make a new one =P
Finally a way to get Norway to reconsider JAS-39 Gripen ;)
(It's not like we're using ours anyway ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5mTUj38k6o)
