Maybe there was no Y2K disaster because people where pooring over code and fixing them before they happened?
Funny thing is most european countries didnt do squat to fix any code and yet everything went smoothly here. There is no correlation between the amount of money and time spent fixing the code that would destroy civilisation as we knew it, and the amount of errors that actually occurred. There were hardly ANY errors.
A lot of tech-companies made a lot of money fixing these errors tho. They were also the ones most actively spreading the idea that all hell would break loose when we went from 1999 to 2000. Who would`ve thunk that eh.
Thats true, we have the same word in Norway. Actually the word is "mus", which means "mouse". So if you say "mus" to a person from Scandinavia, he/she will assume you are talking about the little mammal, the computer-mouse, or a vagina.
It`s about as rude as saying "pussy" in England/USA I imagine. If you want to be really rude you`d say "fitte", which would be the equivalent to "cunt".
Other norwegian/swedish names for the female genitalia might be kusa, musa, dåsa, slusa, rotta, skjura, skrevet, innovertiss, jentetiss, skjødet, det-du-vet, der nede, nedentil, underlivet, pølsebua, sædbanken, kremkonteiner, fiskeslohølet, penisholder, kukkvarmer, kjøttkløfta,elskovshulen, himmeriket, kjærlighetstunnelen, honninggrotta, det sorte hull. sprekken, musehullet, Grand Canyon ( I suppose thats an internation one eh) , hangaren, høna, indrefileten, rekefabrikken, fiskesuppa, tunnelen, blomsten, glufsa etc ad nauseam.
Useful words to know if you ever plan to visit here, or if you just want to impress (or freak out) the hot blonde swedish woman living next door.
I taught a "learn how to use a computer" type of class once, with mostly women between 30 and 50 years as students. The book we used in class had a chapter named "Learn how to use the mouse"...
Based on that experience I dare say that women have a far filthier sense of humour than most men. ^_^

Dude, you might want to, you know, like un-installing that program....
And even if this is Slashdot I do mean un-installing Spy Sweeper, not Windows.
