  1. Re:Peep? Not so.. pretty loud buzz more like it. on Sweden On Verge of Passing Sweeping Wiretap Plan · · Score: 1

    The current government suggested this while in opposition a couple of years ago, and it was one of the first new legislations that they announced when they got into power 2006. This is wrong. The former socialdemocratic government with then minister of justice Thomas BodstrÃm in charge ordered the investigation that led to the proposition. The former socialdemocratic government was then in favor of the new law while the middle-right Alliance was against it, but the socialdemocrats lost the election in 2006 and is now (formally) opposed to their own bill. The roles are reversed compared to three years ago. That said, both blocks are hypocrits who wants FRA to spy on the citizens of Sweden, but only if they are in power when the bill passes.

    I disagree. The US has changed a lot since 9/11, into a country trading away freedom for a false sense of security. In my opinion that is a larger threat than regular foreign military power, because it's easy to identify. The current threat to the US comes from within.

  5. Re:Not without a change in sysadmin policies on Microsoft Not Worried about FireFox · · Score: 1

    I am responsible for administrating the computers (and audio equipment) at the student radio station at my university (http://www.radioaf.com). I have nothing to do with the website though. Anyway, I reinstalled the systems on all the publicly accessable computers a month or two ago, installed firefox as the default browser and removed all shortcuts to IE. No-one has complained, and quite a few people have switched to firefox on their own computers as well.

    I'm out of mod points, and parent needs modding up. The links were excellent!
