For a good part of that time the interest was actually quite a bit higher than 4%, so it wouldn't surprise me if the calculation with actual interest rates is absolutely spot on. Swedish government tends to be like that more often than

Filmmakers themselves talk about movies being culture as well as entertainment, and without piracy, being part of contemporary culture become (even more) a matter of your disposable income. So regardless if it is moral or not ( what is mora

The phrase "you seem confused" appears to be almost derogatory in nature, or do you believe the parent poster was in a state of confusion ? I fail to understand how it could be relevant to the argument in either case, or was it in

Formally accused is a reasonably well defined concept. It is when accusations are brought before a ruling body with jurisdiction to receive the accusations in question. Usually before a government body of some sort, most commonly the police

First of all, stealing is legally a completely different concept than copyright infringement. The first very much accepted by society as a norm, the other much less so, for a multitude of surprisingly good reasons. Secondly, rationalising i

Can only speak for myself, but as there is no really objective way to measure that kind of equivalence, we as consumers are left with the rather blunt tools of traditions and establishing brands when it comes to food. Some of the product ty

While I tend to agree that the actual food is probably safe , there are several valid ideological justifications for such labeling. I would also support seed variety labeling wherever it is reasomably practical, as consumer choice can only

What is you point ? Still a lot of value in the parts that are finished, and while it is somewhat beside the point, it is much more finished than most similarly ambitious projects in the tutorial/learning domain. It even has a license

I agree that it's not much of a freak accident, and you got me thinking that there might be some additional aspects of this case that might be worth considering. For most of my life I have lived somewhere with lots of snow, and where t

Thats only true if you have simple issues, I've had a molar silently split into 4 pieces (likely) because of a non-perfect filling (one of the only two I have/had). Apart from the non-fix of removing the tooth, there was a tremend

One would think so, but then one would also think that nobody would ever design a boot recovery procedure such that it has an error case where it deletes all (several hundreds) executable files on the disk, completely hosing the system. But

Cursory looked up some ethnographic statistics the other day, and if wikipedia is to be trusted, UK as a whole certainly does not appear to be very ethnically diverse - although London is.

Yes and no. There are now ID controls when you travel from Denmark to Norway and Sweden, and from Sweden to Norway. The currently applied laws are temporary in both Norway and Sweden as far as I understand, and also only requires a national

I can't really escape a feeling which tells me that apple wants to get rid of OSX completely. Ever since I posited the possibility a few years ago, they have followed my estimated trajectory almost perfectly, only a little slower. Brin

The city center is almost all historical buildings except for a few parts where those have been torn down a few decades ago - something that left a very bitter aftertaste, it created what csn only be described as open sores in the city core

... or voting machines. I must say I don't particularly like the rather unpleasant arguments that almost make themselves from those particular facts. That money indeed is considered more important than both safety and fair voting.

So I have ADD, and I can't tell you if my brain is different or not. But I have exactly zero withdrawal from methylphenidate after years of use. If I don't take it, I simply don't get anything done. I have stopped taking it f

A couple of year ago I made a prediction that Apple is going to try to throw out OSX long term. While I thought it would proceed at a greater pace, gradually locking down things because of "security" can easily have double utility

Which is exceedingly reasonble to think, since XSLT actually mandates XPath expressions for all select attributes. However The major conceptual difference I can see is the ability for (apparent) in-place editing/updating, the lack of w
