My mistake about UK/etc. then, but my point still seems to stand; in most countries it's only the ruler personally that's immune. If Sweden does something that harms me, I can't demand that the king be punished, but I ca

If you read through the list, you'll notice that USA is the only one where the government has sovereign immunity. In all other cases it's only the monarch/president/pope personally who is immune. The article does agree t

I think it would be possible to configure noscript to allow scripts, but require a click to play media (I haven't actually tried it like that, since I just keep almost all scripts blocked anyway).

You can solve all three of those with Wolfram Alpha too, with no need for apps. Seems like Google knows how to solve the last two, but not the first one. Perhaps with some different syntax it would be possible too.

I have to disagree. I don't play online games myself, but the people I know who are active players certainly seem to consider the interaction between players the main part. They even choose the game to play based on what their clan&#x2

It seems like the Tor Browser at least pops up a message saying you should leave the window to its original size when you maximize it. It still lets you do it.

Are you implying that Apple wouldn't allow that? I can't find a way to browse their book store with a browser (it just tells me I have to download iTunes), but I would imagine they have erotica as a category there (or at least as

Browsers already have the ability to block cookies and at least Firefox allows overriding the choice for individual sites without needing any plugins.

You left out the source for that quote, but it appears to be from Wikipedia, which has this[1] as a source. From that article I get the impression that the $100 million refers to all money paid during the existance of Bandcamp, while I supp

In Finland we give the cash/receipts straight to the person. Nothing rude about it. I don't remember there ever being any hand contact involved in it. I guess some restaurants might use trays, but not the ones that I ever go to.

The photos, btw, are from the Finnish Defence Forces photo archive which is available at http://sa-kuva.fi It's not exactly a masterwork of UI design, but for those who like ww2 photos it might be interesting.

While the whole Schengen area may not allow you to work everywhere, the core EU area pretty much does[1]. Of course you may have to do some paper work, but, generally, if you have a job offer from another EU country, you will be able to tak

This seems to only consider the number of countries one can travel to without a visa as a tourist. So it doesn't consider the ability to move to or work/study at another country.

I chose to quote paragraphs showing that there was also non-political art, and therefore the policies of the Soviet Union don't alone explain why their art is not known in the west.

According to wikipedia there seem to have been times when artists had more freedom too. And it doesn't seem accurate to say that "the few exceptions ... were commissioned by the CPSU", as the artist - who were not few - seem

Aren't those limitations just in the USA? I'd guess that someone in .co.uk should be able to do what ever they want, especially as a non-commercial project.

In most parts of Finland, people only speak Finnish at home. It's mainly just Western Finland (and Helsinki to a lesser degree) where there are lots of finnish-swedish people that are bilingual. Elsewhere everyone tends to know English

There is also a Finnish indie movie based on (or inspired by) it, called Vyöhyke (the zone) [1]. Nowhere near as good as Stalker, but it was published on Youtube [2], so it's easy&free to watch if you have the time to spare. [1] h
