I never said there weren't any. I merely said I'd not seen any of them in evidence during my near-daily excursions on Stockholm's public transport system and then on foot through portions of the city's "trendy" Södermalm district.
Anecdotal data gathered using your city's transportation network and trendy office areas can and will likely differ.
Of course, there's the usual renunciation of FDR and all his works*, but the rest is really really quite damning of every Republican since Eisenhower, coming as it does from someone who spent time at the heart of the Reagan Administration.
*It's to be expected here. Catholics cross themselves without thinking in much the same way.
And it so happens that this is something I happen to know a bit about, since I am an international parent of an Australian child and pay my solicitor in Brisbane a fair chunk chunk of change each year to keep me in the know on such matters.
2. I keep forgetting that most Slashdotters live in a country where "news" means "self-congratulatory corporate media circle-jerk" and not "information about recent and ongoing events". Anyone living there who didn't realise that I intended the latter is excused.

Yeah, too bad for them that they bought the wrong TV network...
And you've given yourself away as a shill.

The phrase is "Film at 11", or if you're a Brit, "Pictures at 11".
(Yes, Grasshopper, I do know what I'm talking about, as I worked in the industry for some years.)
Don't knock LBreakout2 until you've tried it. :P
I wouldn't say I love Windows 8, but after running it at home and work I'd say overall it's not worse than Windows 7.
This could be construed by some as "damning with faint praise".
I wasn't aware that Slashdot had an obligation to proselytise for Linux or anything else.
Welcome to Slashdot. We're here because we're here, and because we want to be here.
If you are not here, you are not reading this.
If you are here, and you would prefer to be somewhere else, you are welcome to go there.
It's all good, mate.
If you think "ethnic cleansing" sounds good, then you probably work for Marketing.
Almost right.
The Tea Party *wishes* that it were a terrorist org.
...the fuck?
Gee, I guess I hurt some poor widdle fanbois feelingses because I dared suggest that Windows isn't actually Everywhere?
... the result still looks like gibberish.
What gives?

So you're saying I'm a dumb follower for choosing my own direction and not going with the crowd?
Any other sage observations you'd like to share with us, or are you quite done with embarrassing yourself now?
You're trying to talk sense to someone who thinks "American" is a language.
The word I'd normally use to describe such an exercise is, "futile".
I hear you can make a really nice curry with expired patents.
They seem to understand "My right to live trumps your supposed 'right' to make money" pretty damned well, though.
Dunno about you, but for me, the word office is defined as that place where my computer happens to be located when I boot the 'work' image.
Other than not acceding to your implication that Debian is the One True Distro*, I'm with ya, good buddy. Good riddance to the riff-raff.
(*Don't worry, the OTD sure as hell ain't Ubuntu, either.)
I live in Europe, and I've yet to see a single Windows Phone here. In Stockholm, the big 3 seem to be iPhone, Samsung, HTC.
And some Nokias, but nearly as many as you'd think, given that the company's home base is next door in Finland.
If Ubuntu is ahead of the curve, I'll follow a straight line instead.
Isn't that on a par with saving them from the ravenous jaws of an attacking hedgehog?
Oh, you mean like ATMs were supposed to eliminate banking fees because they'd no longer have to pay the tellers...
Hey, thanks for the link.

...and an occasional boong.
(That's in the fish in a barrel zone, but I seem to have mislaid my gun at this late hour... Ah, well--Pass.)
I guess things have changed. Back in my day, the guys supplying the beer usually had a really good shot at getting laid.
1. The parent implied that child abductions are somehow imaginary. They do occur, and so they are not imaginary.
In particular, international child abductions are a huge problem, particularly in Australia.
And it so happens that this is something I happen to know a bit about, since I am an international parent of an Australian child and pay my solicitor in Brisbane a fair chunk chunk of change each year to keep me in the know on such matters.
