I still don't see how it's supposed to raise taxes, but by all means don't let that get in the way of your ranting. And if you had RTFA (I know, I know..) you would know that this wouldn't be for remote populations.
They can, and they want everyone to have access to this. Finland isn't the USA, they can afford to concern themselves with things that to you must seem derisory. Also, this.
I can only imagine what this will do to Finland's taxes.
lol what?? What does it have to do with anything? If they're going to make it a right that means everyone is supposed to get it already. I don't see what sort of impact making it into law would have on anything. Are you one of those nutty libertarian guys who's obsessed with taxes?
Wow, thanks for this post, reminds me of what kind of opinionated dumbasses this website attracts. You obviously don't know the first thing about what you're talking about. Believe it or not, there's more to these planes than sticking a webcam onto a tiny RC plane, and they're actually cheap.
At $10.9m, I'd rather see them going cheaper, and deploying more.
Dumbass, the reason why we're not deploying more isn't money, it's a lack of pilots. You would know that if you had RTFA. STFU and RTFA, sucker.
So maybe traders would be more rational if they had zero financial interest in the success of their trades, right? I mean if the decisions you make don't affect you more than the decisions you make when playing Windows' mine sweeper then you should stay cool headed, right? And surely as a result their performance would increase?
I mean, having an interest in those things, that's as if you rewarded a doctor or a firefighter $10,000 for saving a life. That's easy to see why it's not a good idea.
House is definitely the worst television show on the air right now, and quite possibly the worst of all time. Any references to it are stupid, and you, by extension, are also stupid.
There are so many reasons e-mail isn't going away anytime soon.
1) It's a protocol, like the telegraph, not a service like Microsoft/Google/AOL Whatever. You can set up mail servers anywhere to handle anything in any way, and still have it be interoperable with other mail servers on the Internet, provided you're even connected to it.
2) This also means that it's decentralised, no one controls it, not Google, not anyone, you can't take it down by taking down or controlling any company. Likewise there are no terms of service or anything, and you know you can count on everybody using it since no-one can make it go away if they wanted to and everyone's using it.
3) People like simple basic forms of communication. That's why we still use telephones with 10 figure telephone numbers when we could have videophones with sophisticated functions. The same goes for e-mail, it's the telegraph of the late 20th-early 21st century, that's what you use when you need to send text.
4) Like telephone, it's ubiquitous, everybody and their momma on the Internet has it, you hardly can get away with anything out there without having an e-mail set up first. It's your phone number of the Internet, you even put it on your CV or your business card. It's almost more important than your telephone number. Not that e-mail is replacing the telephone, but in many situations it's just more advantageous.
Now as for the problems there are with it. Spam. Unfortunately it's a problem inherent to something as open and decentralised. Anything else? Not really, you could argue that it's not that fancy, but when you think about it, it is. These days you get HTML e-mails full of images and what not, you can send anything you want with it.
Actually, there's little the SMTP protocol prevents you from doing, only things your mail program doesn't allow. So e-mail is safe, for at least the few decades to come. Shall anything supplant it, it should be a new iteration of the protocol that would do whatever SMTP can't do, not a service like Twitter, Facebook or Google Whatever.
It's not about freedom of speech, it's about being dispassionate, pragmatic and cool-headed vs. getting heated up and doing things that don't best serve your cause/case.
If your ranting on a blog serves your cause, then good, but if you do that only because you're pissed, frustrated and you need to vent and rant, then it does you no good and you need to cool off.
None of these things require to actually feel them. It's just an act, and something a good lawyer has to master. Let me guess, you probably think that Keith Olbermann is always genuinely as outraged as he acts?
Lawyers are instruments, unilateral protagonists of the justice system. They're not the moral guardians of society, very far from that. You need to look at professionals not as humans but by their functions. Lawyers are mercenaries of justice, and by opposing two sides of lawyers and letting a judge be the referee you're supposed to get justice. And lawyers are just more efficient and less error-prone when they stay dispassionate and cool-headed.
Well, I often play single player FPSes in slomo mode and increase difficulty, because it's fun. Particularly in Unreal Tournament '99 and Call of Duty 4. You always have a command to type in the console to set that.
I don't know, I for one will be happy to see some official rule 34 Simpsons. Cause all the stuff out there is like, non-cannon (mostly in the bust department).
An ideal job is one that you can separate from your personal life.
Or the opposite, fuse the two together. I couldn't find a damn job, so I made a commercial product out of my hobby project. So my job is also my main hobby.
It does exist, although only in the sense that the group Anonymous exists. That's the same lack of hierarchy/organisation/official structure. In my analogy, moot = Osama bin Laden.
Oh ye of little worldly awareness. He indeed hasn't completed anything remarkable at home, but trust me, no one in Norway gives a shit. But he has changed the world, by changing the way American walks and talks. It probably doesn't mean a damn thing to you, but it means a lot to the others when the world's biggest jock stops being an arrogant dick and becomes considerate of the world and its people around him.
Wow, thanks for enriching this debate with the shallow insight of a child who doesn't even know about the thing he's talking about! The shallower the insight and the more clueless the commenter, the more worthy it must be.
Funny how nationality affects people's vision of things. In France, Arafat was a sort of hero. To Americans he was just an enemy, a terrorist. Keep in mind that the Nobel guys are Europeans, they may see the same things as you do but not perceive them the same way.
Yep, they only once awarded it posthumously, and they'll never do it again. Let this be a lesson, if you want your Nobel prize, don't get shot dead so soon after accomplishing Nobel-worthy things.

I need air to breathe, food to eat, clothes to wear, and a place to sleep at night.
If you live in Finland you'll probably also want some means of warming your dwelling.

A most compelling point, I am convinced!
Who's correctness?
Obviously not your grammatical correctness.
You're more productive with tools you're familiar with and used to working with.

Yay for him, but may he beware of being too passionate and involved into what he defends/attacks. Lawyering is best served cold.

Uninspired used of a meme? In MY Slashdot?
It's less funny than you think.
Spiders in your colon? If there's one thing GTA San Andreas taught me, it's what to do when they crawl from Uranus.

Yo dawg I herd you like viruses so we put Windows on yo microscope so you can get viruses while you watch viruses.
