I have my mouse setting at such a speed, that I can hold my wrist supported, and just move the mouse with my fingers, and yet reach all over my desktop. Only gaming demands more "alive" movements.
It's sad really that the UN has been belittled to such a unuseful role.
People wonder why none of the dictatorships are being intimidated by the supposed power of the UN. The answer is simple. If the wester countries ignore the UN, so can they. *cough*War in Iraq*cough*.
If the US can just trample UN resolutions without any sanctions, do you think the dictators have any reason to belive the UN can have any power over THEM?
Yeah, I had to fill out the form, and sign it.
And atleast for me, I had to wait one month(or it took one month before it was confirmed by letter to me) in October last year.
No, the problem in Finland(I live here) is that the Lutheran church is so dominant(in numbers, but not in influence) that the state has agreed to help them collect money, using the our regular taxation system. This is NOT an action of a state separated from the church, and also unfair against the other religions in the country.
Mind you, the official line of the state is that they have nothing to do with the church. Yet almost all governmental ceremonies are atleast partially Lutheran, considering the location(church) or content(psalms, biblereading).
On top of this, ALL businesses pay a certain percentage of church-tax. It doesn't matter if none of the employees are members of the church, hell even Muslim-owned businesses pay taxes to the Lutheran church.
I used this webpage to resign last year, for purely faith-related reasons. Some regions of the country do not allow resigning by email, even if you add all the vital information. I was sent a letter home with a form to fill in and sign, and a return envelope.
I was officially not part of the church 5 weeks after I used that webpage. This because we have what they call a "regret-month", which basicly just makes you wait 4 weeks before it makes it official. Like I haven't thought through my choice BEFORE sending in my resignation.
No, that's not right.
We should force them to supply Copymachines without printers and faxmachines to customers who want it, and prefer a 3rd party printer. But they can still continue to sell them all bundled if they wish.
THAT is the analogy. And I think Xerox does that, without being a monopoly(or because of it) and without a lawsuit.
Not being in a monopoly means Xerox has to cater to all sorts of customer's wishes, and can't force their faxmashines on customers who just want the printer. Or vice versa.
How about they copy the item, without removing it from the studio's premises?
Nothing stolen.
And on what statistic do you base you accusation that people steal CD's/DVD's that they share?
Your theory is flawed in thinking that movie-copies/CD's are always stolen. Alot of bootlegging is done in the studio, either somewhere along the sound-editing or video-editing. Few people would dare walk out the door of a studio carrying a finished copy of an unreleased movie.
And mind you, even more movies are ripped and shared when reviewcopies are sent out, on DVD.
These sources are called "insiders", and are the nr.1 source for pre-release material.
Republicans acting so.... liberal. Well, I never actually got the logic of the American liberal-conservative split. Who are the liberals? Who are the conservatives?
In Europe Republicans would be market-liberals, and the Democrats... just right-wing.
I never use that button, I just click the tabs with my mousewheel. Just like I open new tabs from links by clicking the mousewheel. Webbrowsing has never been as easy.
And yes, I hate the "close button in every tab"-idea, it's annoying, and disruptive in the IE7 Beta.
Well, it's like getting a better car that you use more often, but with better security features. Yes, you'll be faster, and run a higher chance of accidents, but the damage is minor(if you get a proper firewall/AV) and you'll be glad you did it.
And it's not like you keep the computer on 24/7. And you won't be tricked by those old-school
dial-up porn frauds. Pesky bastards.
Well, I've actually used broadband internet over powerlines between June 2002 and July 2005. Ping-times were horrible, the service was mediocre at best, and the modem was a PITA. But it was easy to set up(and easy to plug out and return to the ISP).
Mostly it was the ISPs fault, because they underestimated the use, and overestimated their own capacity. Claimed a normal speed of 1Mbit/s, I usually got a 256kbit/s service.
Used a modem by the Swiss company Ascom.
Pepsi is now selling something like Pepsi Max Cappuccino here in Finland, don't know if this is Europe-wide or world-wire phenomenon?
Haven't tried it yet, but I've gotten comments both for and against this product.
I don't understand how 75 Mbit/s is 20 times faster then the swedish BBB/Bostream. They have 100/100 Mbit/s broadband(Fiber) for most major cities. And for what, like $50, maybe $60 a month?
I counter-disagree, atleast on the subway issue. I know of cities where public transportation IS in fact free. But what is of question, is that can the "free gate" be seen as a invitation to ride for free? Yes, since it might be just counting passengers on that day, or it might be a kind of a "relic" from the time they DID charge for the fare.
A price tag is different. You can only assume it's free if it has a pricetage with 0.00 on it. Just like a WLAN with no encryption. Both have they're chances of being mistakes, or for real.
So I still think that a Open WLAN can be seen as an open invitation, but only within the borders of logic and reason. Use your brains out there!
When on earth did "This object let me do it" become a standard of legality?!
Well, take a subway-gate. What if the mechanism for the tickets hasn't been activated. You walk to it, and it lets you through. You haven't jumped a gate, and as such not broken any rules. No-one could fine you for that. But I guess that this is very much the same as with a WLAN; if you know it's not supposed to work like that, and you still do it, it's wrong.
But accessing a Open AP cannot be seen as a criminal act if you did not know you weren't allowed to do it.
Just like stolen goods, I doubt no-one would imprison you for buying it, if you honestly thought it was clean.

I think you forgot the Holy Grail of Word, the real reason people actually use that stinking pile of word processing.

What next? North Korean Malnutrition Tycoon?
Ok, that's just horrible. I'm a horrible person.
A tiny Tux? Or even better, some weird flying windows? Or an "Intel Inside" logo. You'd get some funny looks for that.
What ever happened to OLED displays? Or did I just miss out?
