Since the 70s or something we've let in lots of immigrants and I think we give the most foreign aid in the world relative population size.
Many of those immigrants end up in suburbs with low employment rates, though as an American you'll most likely be seen as a hero rather than a zero in the job market I assume. Don't know, I'm no employer =P. At least people may assume you've got an education and competence. Education btw is free over here, you even get some money as a student.
Start your visit in Stockholm and travel outward. Here you have some information about working in Sweden, and here you've got ads for Stockholm.
Close to all Swedes would be "english speaking", at least partly and most likely quite good at it. Just don't have us actually TALK english:D
A) I have no idea, if you live within the EU just get here? If not then maybe it's more annoying, I have no idea, doubt it's a real problem though. I think Sweden is considered to have plenty of wild-life compared to most other nations, sure Canada, Russia and Finland may have similar wealth. So if that's your cup of tea.. Summers are nice, the gulf-stream keep us from being too cold, up in the north you've got the midnight sun in the summer... And most likely complete darkness in the winter;) I think our waters are cleaner than many others and (almost) everyone will be able to understand what you say but not all of them may feel comfortable trying to talk back to you. And finally I hope you like red houses... You'll be seeing plenty =P, at least if you leave the cities.
B) Still no idea. If you get yourself a work I guess you have to get used to the "leftish" politics and paying more taxes than you're used to. On the other side you don't need any health insurance and you will never pay more than 900 SEK / year for health-care visits and 1800 SEK / year for receipt pharmaceuticals. You will get up to 80% of your salary for around a year if you lose your work and if you manage to totally fuck up your life you'll still get enough money to survive. And if you get in prison I think we had like 1/50 as many people / prison area, or maybe it was 1/15 or something such, doesn't matter much, the climate will be difference than compared to American prisons. You're expected to move your lawn but beyond that we'll let you pass by with most things. If in doubt claim you where drunk;)
Oh, and we don't socialize at random, or really learn to know our colleges in private. So we need to throw company parties where everyone can become really drunk to "learn to know each-other", at those occasions though you're most likely to get away with anything..
If they do it to avoid prosecution why not take it one step further and just start hosting the items themselves?! Sure we missed out on fiber for everyone but now we've got the chance to get unlimited leech of 0-day warez!!11!!!ONE!!1
Finally people would get their tax payments worth (of bandwidth and storage..)
Way better than paying 2076 SEK / year in TV license!
People are perfectly fine with getting the batteries the right way around.
Actually no. My dad developed Alzheimers and I remember how he was so frustrated over the phone because he couldn't even get the batteries in correctly into a flashlight.
Though, yes, a special case, and the Alzheimers itself was a much bigger problem:/
And yes, a lot of the frustration most likely came from it being such a simple task which he knew he normally would had been able to manage so easily and now he couldn't.
Cameras with NiMH/regular batteries become rarer and rarer, almost all of them use lithium-ion.
And I think Canon think pressing a + sign into the metallic piece work good enough for the few cameras which actually use regular batteries.
Seeing the shapes of hard-drives being somewhat awkward for the imagined purpose I think you can spare the gloves for their joy-sticks, eventually use them for handling wii-wands to, though there are already replaceable rubber molds to cover those in.
As far as you know there's part which haven't been explored yet exploring may be quite simple, though eventually more challenging in his days in case navigation wasn't fool-proof yet.
To actually imagine that there may be parts missing / not accept the world as you see it / others know it is as the end of it all and finally have the courage to travel into the unknown most likely required someone special.
I wouldn't mock explorers, though once you knew the earth was spherical and that you where missing pieces and where you missed them on your maps it must have become much easier than before, especially if all you had to rely on was relative placement of areas and your perspective was flat.
Anyway, many solutions are seen as brilliant/simple/"why didn't I came up with that", in this case though I think the solution was easy to come up with, maybe not the insulator part but the middle piece vs outer piece design, but as with all similar products the real thinking goes into identifying a problem needing a solution vs just accepting and seeing everything as it already is.
Some just put out + and -, some others have a picture of the battery but molded into the plastic where it's not easy to see, some better have paper strips or something such.
But as said I just think people have accepted it and not starting thinking about / looking for a solution, as with many other popular simple items in your daily life. For instance atleast here in Sweden we've got those plastic scrapes to pick up the crap from the dish sink, and before someone invented that simple plastic scrape with holes in it people used their hands or a piece of household paper. Very simple and very comfortable vs using your hands or waste a lot of paper, but before doing that seemed like the obvious and normal things to do and most likely people didn't thought about it much..
Now Microsoft had added the insulator part which atleast make it more reliable, if one had only cut two pieces of metallic then I assume it would had been easier for them to screw up than with a piece of insulator in between. Without the insulator / as a more simply and less refined design I assume it may have lost quite a bit in reliability for especially smaller batteries such as R03/AAA.
I just hadn't identified the problem yet... Once you think "How could I make it possible to connect to this battery no matter what position it's in?" the solution is easy to come up with.
I don't know to what extent but surely some of the BSDs and also Solaris UFS are different. So it's not totally the same filesystem, though maybe similar enough.
stop my wife putting non-rechargable batteries in my charger and blowing them up. She said it was an accident... I just think she likes the explosions.
I rather grant them credits for identifying that it actually was a problem in the first place rather than for the solution. The solution is obvious, seeing it as a problem which needed a solution is another thing.
But it's the same for glass jar or bottle openers, velcro, the zip,..

Enjoy your stay.
Indeed. Since, the predictable response to this is that the MAFIAA takes over the United States Congress and uses its power to declare war on Sweden.
Fine! In general Swedes don't like paying for the military. This is our chance to roll over and let USA take care of us just as Japan do!

Anything is possible when dealing with pirates
You mean child porn!
Anything is possible when dealing with child porn!
We can't have child porn lying around in the open. Will someone please think of the children!?!
/ Antipiratbyrån - Thinking of and protecting the Swedish children since 2001!
I seriously believe your quest for booty could have started out better than "I run for the parliament for the pirate party!"
Now, if they could only make the cup holder on my PC a little bit more sturdier...
This may surprise you, but instead of making it sturdier they are likely to remove it completely!
It's assumed that instead people will do their drinking straight from the wall, connected through a series of tubes!
A stupid idea which I assume exist: .. GREAT! ;)
Plastic ice cubes. Look like real ones, cost more, aren't cold
I assume the "thumb-stylus" for the Nintendo DS may have ended up the same. Though it may have been usable in some scenarios.
Then of course there is the MemoryStick ;)
I'm sure dealextreme.com got plenty of solutions to non-existing problems. But atleast they are cheap and ship world-wide for free1 :D

You would have had a point if he said UFS only worked in Leopard and Snow leopard but not in Tiger and earlier.
However he sad the opposite... It did worked in "the old ass shit" but not in the new versions.
Too bad we lost the ZFS option. Though maybe not willing to use fuse in Linux either, but for OS X atleast.
Seeing the shapes of hard-drives being somewhat awkward for the imagined purpose I think you can spare the gloves for their joy-sticks, eventually use them for handling wii-wands to, though there are already replaceable rubber molds to cover those in.

Now Microsoft had added the insulator part which atleast make it more reliable, if one had only cut two pieces of metallic then I assume it would had been easier for them to screw up than with a piece of insulator in between. Without the insulator / as a more simply and less refined design I assume it may have lost quite a bit in reliability for especially smaller batteries such as R03/AAA.
And before he starts to think about doing it parallell: It would be even easier.
I did as soon as I read the news item.
I just hadn't identified the problem yet ...
Once you think "How could I make it possible to connect to this battery no matter what position it's in?" the solution is easy to come up with.
Methinks you may be plugging your portable media into the wrong place..
Also make this story much more hillarious:
MS Design Lets You Put Batteries In Any Way You Want
Don't worry, mine uses NiMH.
I don't know to what extent but surely some of the BSDs and also Solaris UFS are different. So it's not totally the same filesystem, though maybe similar enough.
stop my wife putting non-rechargable batteries in my charger and blowing them up. She said it was an accident... I just think she likes the explosions.
Time to turn her in!
