  1. Re:Anonymous Subscription? on Netflix Announces Streaming Only Plans and Higher Prices for DVDs · · Score: 1

    Considering us europeans have been using VPN + a completly made up address for quite a time now, I doubt they actually care that much. Or maybe they just realize we aren't in the US and don't care for that reason.

  2. Re:So it goes like this on Assange Back In Court For Sex Crimes Appeal · · Score: 2

    No, under Swedish law you can't even force a convicted rapist to get tested for STDs. The only ones who can be tested against their will are pregnant women.

  3. Re:So much for National (or State) Sovereignty on EU Sues Sweden, Demands ISP Data Retention · · Score: 1

    Please note that the Swedish constitution is not anything like the American one, it's fairly easy to change the Swedish constitution and regular courts aren't allowed to determine if laws violate the constitution. As such, it was probably given away without anyone raising an eyebrow, since no one cared about our constitution in the first place.

  4. Re:That is how it has to be on EU Sues Sweden, Demands ISP Data Retention · · Score: 1

    If the people had been told that they signed over legislative power to Brussels before joining, I'm sure we wouldn't have joined.

  5. Re:Not safe in Netherlands on Pirate Bay Court Loss Won't Stop the Flow of Files · · Score: 1

    Most likely the answer is NO, since the exact same system exists in Sweden already, though I'm not sure the law in the Netherlands is exactly the same. In Sweden, it's allowed within a closed, small circle of friends. Random people on the Internet are apparently not included.

  6. Probably more than I should... on Typical Home Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 1

    I tend to be around 1TB/month, mostly thanks to my router not being able to do more than 40Mb/s. Most of that is made up of torrent uploads though, so I could probably lower it quite a bit if I wanted to. This is in a 1 person household.

  7. Re:This law changes nothing.... on Wiretapping Law Sparks Rage In Sweden · · Score: 1

    It has always been admissible in court.

  8. Re:Big deal on Wiretapping Law Sparks Rage In Sweden · · Score: 1

    If nothing else, it's harder to do when ISPs aren't required by law to feed you the traffic you're tapping.

  9. Re:what about encryption? on Wiretapping Law Sparks Rage In Sweden · · Score: 1

    Oh but such employees will be fined and maybe even have to spend time in jail if they're discovered. Yes, we had politicians saying we shouldn't worry about employees leaking information collected by the system since they might even go to jail for doing so.

  10. Re:They would.. on Wiretapping Law Sparks Rage In Sweden · · Score: 1

    They probably wouldn't really care, just store that you sent it, who you sent it to and that it was encrypted. Then they just need a link to some terrorist and can get you through guilt by association and you can't prove your innocence. That's atleast the way I fear it will turn out.

  11. Re:This is to deal with their young Muslim immigra on Sweden On Verge of Passing Sweeping Wiretap Plan · · Score: 1

    Switzerland still looks decent. Hopefully they still allow Swedes to immigrate, though I wouldn't blame them if they banned us in order to prevent us from ruining their country the same way we've ruined ours.

  12. Re:This is to deal with their young Muslim immigra on Sweden On Verge of Passing Sweeping Wiretap Plan · · Score: 1

    Oh god how I wish you could pay yourself and then be left out in the cold when you realize your own foolishness. Instead the whole country is doomed to suffer for your crazy ideas.

  13. Re:And she's surfing this on what exactly? on World's Fastest Net Link 'Used To Dry Laundry' · · Score: 1

    Last I heard she had some sort of Cisco router worth roughly a million USD in her garage to support the connection. The actual point was to demonstrate a way to transfer data at 40 Gbps over a fibre originally intended for 10 Gbps.

  14. Re:Why America( & probably Oceania ) are so fa on Fat Geeks Healthier Than You Thought · · Score: 1

    I find it hard to believe Italy is among the lowest when it comes to obesity, or atleast I doubt it will remain so. In 2002 Italy had the highest amount of overweight/obese children in all of Europe, at above 30%.
