What really matters is economic freedom(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_free dom). Where Sweden ranks quite high. For the taxes we pay we get lots of benefits. Like free health care for everyone under the age of 20 and after that very low cost compared to the states. No quaks that advice you treatements so they can earn more money(I've experienced my fair deal of that in the states).
Dental care is free up to the age of 18 and then much lower costs compared to the states. This service is being expected to bt upgraded within short:)
Drug prices are quite cheap and their is a limit of how much you will need to pay for drugs.
Totally free education of choise both schools private and schools public for life, yes even Universities are free of charge. Free meals to all students excluding University level education.
Compared to the states a railroad infrastructure that takes you where you want to go for a cheaper fee.
Roadfees are an exception in rare cases. There is yet to be many highways because of the scarse population though.
I disagree with you about copyright infrigement not being considered a serious crime. According to the law it states a maximum punishment of 2 years in prison. Which is the limit needed to allow violations of privacy and it is being pushed by special interest to become 4 years in prison so they can classify it as severe as terrorism. Which would allow for even more severe violations of privcaies. Ridiculues. Totally Ridiculues!
However the evidence in this case has been gathered by the AntiPirateBureau a special-intrest organisation like the RIAA. Which in the past even planted their own evidence, and got caught doing so at an ISP("Hu? Who's server is this...?", kind of situation). But that is nothing really to bother about. The mere fact that the evidence presented makes use of a screenshot taken by this organisation is laughable. Really? How can a screenshot be considered as reliable evidence? Specially when it comes from an organisation with an attitude of "We do anything to get a conviction, including breaking laws and forging evidence!".
Technicality my ass! There really should be a counter sue towards this organisation. As well as a seperate trial on the use of screenshots as evidence...
Democracy is more then a ballot! If you don't fight for your rights you are accepting them. If you live in a country where you cannot vote our voted for any opposing party which isn't holding power and you don't do anything to counter the current policies. Then you might just as well just vote for the party you disklike is in power now.
I have investigated this further... It seems like one can easily login as guest/guest or in this case someones name repeated as both password and username. I think it says more of the actuall negligence of security protocolls from the social democratic party.
In the states the picture quality is enourmously different. In Europe and specially france with the higher number of lines the quality jump isn't as great in my opinion. Hence even less delta for the European consumers. Add to that penalities like DRM and odd format which instead of increasing the delta they decrease the delta.
It is a flawed business model to start with. The old companies like Sony has done this many times in the past and still they don't get it. They keep coming back for more self-abuse. Trying to tell us what we want and selling that product which they have decided we want to a sky-high price... Well obviously someone's missing a few nuts and bolts. Anyone realizes just how obviously flawed this approach is. Why don't they?
There is reason for collective living and breeding. The same reason why we have societies. Everyone does not need to do everything for himself. And if a few dies we can still reproduce most of the time.
So some parts of evolutionary processes is pushing for more complexity due to the advantages it has over being simplicity while another evolutionary processes pushes for simplicity due to it's advantages.
As we have seen the different designs of survival coexist even if it is a great struggle I don't think there will cease to exist complex organism before the earth get steralised.
Hehe, in genetic ecology class we was thaught that one never uses humans as a model except when it comes to genetics. Because we do all of those things to ourselves like crossing enviromental barriers, mate randomly inbetween any subpopulation, etc. hence makes the models so much easier to calculate on. Other species don't function like that at all.
However the gene should be subtracted to genetic drift and become unproductive after a certain amount of time. Why has it been kept in it's mallicious form? One theory could probably be to eliminate elder subjects that has no purpose then to consume resources.
I too have not given fingerprints to my country(Sweden). However as I have family in the states and which I want to visit. I have given fingerprints to the state of USA. Just travelling into the State seem to be enough for being treated as a criminal.
Not even Japan does treat you like a criminal in such way regardless how antiforeign they are compared to the rest of us. I never needed to do anything like that. What I had to do because I was there for a whole lot of time(1 Year), was to register my presence to the country with a picture. I can agree to a picture. But fingerprinting or DNA sampling that's just right out being classified as a criminal in my mind.
Some would say a picture is equaly bad. But I can accept giving the governement a picture. I needed to for a VISA anyway soo...
Swedish people love to excercice the power they have thru voting. It's around 95% of the voting population that do so. However, younger people seem to not care as much anymore and I heard numbers like 75% voting qouta.
These numbers are from my memory though, so I reserve myself for any errors I have made but it's around those figures.
I wonder what kind of impact Microsoft hopes to achive by doing this. I would guess they belive that when more software can use their format they will create the standard. But the thing is, they allready do this sort of.
I for one don't see how opening a file format so engaraved in society that it has become a standard for non-geeks can make an additiona revenue.
Like there haven't been attempt allready, I know when internet was very new. We Swedes who was actually computer nerds back then had to call up a UK server with our modems. There was another network provided by a UK company called something Qserv Ithink, I can't remeber exactly now. It wasn't very big but the protocols used allowed for me then what http did back then.
Just like the french telecommunicating system where you accesed the network thru a monitor on your phone station. The network was/is provided by the french telephone companies which offered a lot of the services on the network if I have understood correctly.
I find this utterly insane. A big project need documentation and spec is part of that documentation in order to keep the people working on said project in touch with the image of the product the lead developer want it to become.
Without a documentation other people will just code based on lose stories the leader have told about his vision of the software. Nothing would get done as nobody would know exactly what needs to be done. And huge uncertanty would rule the porject. Also having a documentation will keep the leader itself on the correct path and not stray from it's original design. Crucial for the project to be finished
Never knew that before... In Sweden we don't call the Middle ages for anything but just that. No Dark ages. But the term Middle ages is strongly connected to a time period when scientific inventions was frowned upon and religion ruled everyones personal life. An age that wasn't very fun to live in.
Vikings, fall of the Roman Empire? you have our timeline screwed up. Roman Empire fell before the Dark ages. They converted to catholism in about the same era I would presume.
Viking was no more as the Dark ages began. As the scandinavian population was forced to convert to christianity by their kings who thought a people united by christianity instead of living as tribes feuding with each other would be alot easier to controll and become rich of.
These two events happened in around the same time about 400 to 600 AD. Coinsidently a few more centuries and we got the Dark ages. Wonder why everyone became Christians before the Dark ages?
I just rescently picked up a Virtual boy and all games I could find of reasonable price(below 10k yen) when I was in Japan a couple of weeks ago. Damn, what a pity it flopped! It's the coolest piece of machinery I ever owned!
However contrary to Microsoft and Sony which doesn't make the best seeling games for their system, Nintendo needs their software to be copyproof or otherwise they will lose money on it.
happy slashdotting on you too my dear

I continously hope for enterprise to be ended in it's seven season as a Star Trek series ought to be ended!
I must admit though that some seasons were really lame, I liked enterprise at first. When they didn't have any equipment that worked and their was no experience in anything of what they did had political problems with klingons and vulcans as well as andorians, pretty much the starting seasons. later on as they got photonic torpedoes and other technologies to their usage so that the humans wouldn't seem so inferior, that was when the show started to go bad and it's anticlimax must in my opinion been the whole time wars shit. This season been quite good though with Vulcans having internal problems and dealing with Andorians and Romulans starting to look like something good again, and hence I would like to have the series continue.
Hopefully a new Star Trek series will also be made, I seem to never be able to get enough of Star Trek. I would have nothing against a remake of the old series, but I think they need to cram in some more juice into it, better scenery and Klingons that actually look like they should do and not human!

According to USGS data blited on Google Earth the Alaskan area has quite many seismic events while this place has none other then this one.

Don't forget the temperature rise... Somehow, the very few pirates left on the seas must be doing some really devastating pirating,
