As something of a Spelling Nazi myself, I'd advise you to be very, very sure of yourself before dipping your toes into that particular pond, lest you set yourself up for an epic and embarrassing fail, as in fact you've just done.:)
Yeah, my complaint with Ubuntu is that they have too much of this "scan everything on the hard drive, taking up a ton of CPU for something you might not use"
That was always one of my biggest gripes about Windows, too, when I still used it.

I can get into most countries quite easily on the strength of my US passport (only exception I can think of is China which requires a visa - although Hong Kong and Macau don't).
And since I actually live in Sweden, I enjoy most of the other freedoms you mention as well - or can be in Denmark or the Netherlands in a couple of hours to the enjoy the few that I can't here.
(Except possibly the hookers... Unless I'd like permission from the gf to enjoy the freedom of sleeping alone.)
...I'm sure the band won't be willing to play for a sweaty president for the amount of money he could pay.
However, it could conceivably make for some most excellent marketing.

Well, according to the latest stats from RIPE, Sweden has 17,574,560 IPv4 addresses allocated, so that's approximately 1.90 addresses per inhabitant, or 3.94 per household.
Of course, that doesn't take business users into account, but in our office we have three different companies on the same floor, all sharing the same public IPv4 address (our group actually uses a NAT behind the one sharing out the floor's public IP, and we use one or both of our corporate VPNs in any case), and our other 2 offices also each use a single public IP + NAT for their internal networks, if that tells you anything.
BTW, it appears that Denmark has the most IPv6 addresses allocated among all of the RIPE countries by a wide margin.

Dear AC,
As something of a Spelling Nazi myself, I'd advise you to be very, very sure of yourself before dipping your toes into that particular pond, lest you set yourself up for an epic and embarrassing fail, as in fact you've just done. :)
Actually, either "aviatrices" or "aviatrixes" is correct.
BTW, the Firefox built-in spellchecker "knows" only the latter by default.

Thanks for that. I was starting to feel old and behind the times because I had to Google it... :)

Your ISP, maybe.
I have 4 machines here, and each of them has a public IP address.
My ISP is Bredbandsbolaget (Sweden), BTW.

It's an honest question.
It's a loaded question.

The new metamod isn't very meta.
That's like saying that water isn't very dry. The new metamod system is totally NOT meta at all -- in fact, it's completely braindead.
The old one was tolerable, but what I'd really like to see is a 'This comment should have been moderated xxxxxx' style system.
I would also like to see a -1, Wrong moderation.
I would also love it if people would actually think about what 'Redundant' actually means and would understand that 'I don't agree' != 'Troll'.
*/me prepares to be moderated -1, Wrong*
You mean so they can be held accountable even *less* than they're getting away with already?
Or did I miss some <sarcasm> tags in your post?
I'm fully in favour of standards.
However, "standards-compliant" loses a bit of its lustre when encumbered with extreme lack of usability, and IE5/Mac had a nightmare instead of a UI.
IIRC, it had fairly good CSS support, but its DOM support wasn't anything to home about.
...IE5 was THE ANSWER. It was a wonderful browser in its time.
