This is essentially the NYT paywall but on a grander scale. While whatever happens in Slovakia is not likely to have a direct effect on the rest of the world, it'll be an interesting test of the paywall model for online news.

No, and I admit that it might very well be wrong. I read this on Slashdot and reddit (I can find some specific comments if you'd like), which obviously are not very reliable sources. But the articles I've read haven't mentioned when he died

Are we sure that this is genuinely the Osama raid? I've read reports that Osama was in fact killed days ago. If he was in fact killed yesterday, have they really already buried his body at sea?

Some errors: - Turkey is purple on the map, despite being within the 1-5% (blue) bracket. - According to the map, Finland has 0.7% IE6 users, but according to the list you get when you hover over the map, it has 0.9% That aside, it puzzles

I am a computer savvy user who used Linux as my primary OS for several years (I switched to Windows for reasons I won't specify). If my university didn't provide Windows 7 to me for free, I'd still be using XP. It's a perfectly usable OS.

I haven't tried learning from it, but it doesn't seem to be higher level than Fraleigh's classic book on Abstract Algebra, which I use and is intended for undergraduates.

I believe he is referring to Math StackExchange (math.stackexchange.com), a site which was created to serve as a MathOverflow-equivalent for mathematics students or others who aren't professional mathematicians. I've found Math StackExchang

I am not going to directly defend the Norwegian draft, but the Norwegian military does not send drafted soldiers who do not volunteer to fight in Afghanistan (or other foreign wars). The main reason Norway still has the draft is to have a p

Congratulations to Lingt. Dictionary.com, however, really needs to clean up and simplify their site - it contains a huge amount of potentially useful tools, which are hidden in the depths of the website. A while ago I stumbled upon a tool o

Haha, I own one of those. Code's been sitting on my drive for 5 years, but it's far from ready enough to be uploaded. I'm surprised SourceForge doesn't purge the empty projects once in a while to free up project names.
