This didn't work in 1996 either when Italy wanted to split. I was in Rome at the time and there were every branch of military and polizia everywhere you looked with machine guns in-tote....
Please provide one or more references to the specific 1996 events in Italy which you describe. I find nothing at Wikipedia or from searching Google other than references to Italy's squad in the '96 Euros. Thanks.
Why can't I proclaim the independence of my suburb? That way, I can use English as my official language, join the EU, escape Swedish taxes while keeping all the benefits,... right?
I really wish that people who've obviously never been to Europe, much less know much of anything about it, would quit spouting "Ooh scary!" nonsense.
If they did, they might find that most people here (1) do not make a fetish of "national sovereignty", (2) are very happy to be able to trade and travel freely between countries (much as Americans are able to trade and travel freely between, say, Ohio and Michigan), and (3) are even happier that they don't have wars with their neighbours all the time any more.
The few folks I've encountered who aren't very happy with this state of affairs have all turned out to be right-wing, racist morons who want someone to bash on for the sake of bashing on someone.
It's especially funny that you should mention the Nordics, since those countries have some of the highest rates of citizen satisfaction anywhere in the world.
The person who modded my post as a troll need only look out the window as he's flying into Beijing International. Best time is about an hour prior to landing.
I absolutely guarantee that he will see the GIANT FUCKING DOME OF SMOG lying atop the city. It looks for all the world like a big Jello salad made with used mop water.
He will then be welcome to come back and apologise.

The whole point of a doomsday weapon is that you only use it if you've already lost.
Until one is detonated, you never really know if it'll work as designed. And one hasn't been detonated....
Oh, I think we've got you covered.
Many do have employees telecommuting from India and China.
Or even Sweden.
It's a mindset. It's latched on to a single political party.
That seems to sum up the substance of most of your posts quite nicely, yes.
So what you're saying is that nothing is ever the fault of a big megacorp.
You remind us what "off-topic" means.
Obvious troll is obvious.
That works out well for people whose jobs are done only on a computer and don't require F2F interaction with others.
5GB RAM is plenty for eye candy. Whether he wants the eye candy or not depends on what he intends to use the machine for.
OpenSUSE worked great on my 10-y-o single-core laptop until they dropped support for 32-bit.
It's good to know that Lennart reads Slashdot, I guess.
Window Maker is still a thing.

Please don't bother lying about history when it's so easy to check your claims.

It's more like you allowed yourself to be triggered by the first sentence of his post and didn't bother reading the rest of it.
Cos it is banned outside the USA...
Oh, really? I've no trouble accessing the show outside the USA.
Google at least provides me with information that I can use, and accommodates whatever platform I choose rather than trying to chain me to theirs.
Apple is to be admired ... for the simple reason that it makes things people want to buy
So do meth cooks.

(Sorry, I'm out of mod points for today.)
How can one be so ridiculoisly delusional?
It's just corporate tribalism at its finest.
Greetings from Sweden. I'll be happy to swap my tax obligations for yours.
(But only if I get to keep the $15 doctor visits and the clean air and water, please.)
Did you happen to notice that you are comparing hardware businesses with software businesses? Just asking...
There's a reason that Norway told the EU, "Thanks, but no thanks."
I'll let you ponder that and draw your own conclusions.
