But "The Company" does it sell record to consumers, so it that percent of the price long before it reaches the rack at your local store, as I understands it.
people meet and mix and so everybody is related to
everybody else.
I remember reading that the modern finn is geneticely 60% germanic and 40% fenno-ugrian
on the average.
Me myself is probably has aboutthat since I
am part of a traditionaly finnish-speaking
minority in northern Sweden and from a family
with some Vallonian/Finnish roots.
<hr>
Point is article is probably right about relation
to modern day Swedes and Finns. BUT those people has diffent genitical origin and have later mixed
so what gives for the mumies. Just confusing.
I looked at jabber, much architectural work there.
But in the end too complex to hack on, and even to
get it up and running fast. Heck, I am a system admin
and used to hack things around, but could not get
the conferencing to work in a sane way.
Too much options and configurability prevents thing
from working.
Also I don't want complex things in an IM-server like:
* TCP socket, slow to connect and does not scale well
* XML parser - lots of code I don't want attach to internet -
small is beautiful and more secure.
* covering all bases - no I don't want that!
I want to use the tools I am used to and like.
* Security is a hack, and SSL does not work with UDP.
I hacked something together this weekend,
a IM system using UDP for scalability and
GnuPG for security. It is almost usable:-)

It not about spam at all.
It about companies sending information to
their customers with a special service.
It is not even e-mail!!
For example I can opt-in at my landlord
to get my rent bill in electronic form
through ePostBoxen at posten.se
And why is the Swedish goverment linked
instead of the postal service itself?
This is going downhill fast!
